Both teams to score boom ended at Watford
THE both teams to score boom enjoyed by punters on Saturday failed to continue as Crystal Palace beat Watford 1-0 and Leeds lost 3-0 at Middlesbrough on Sunday.
Bookmakers had been on the ropes after both teams scored in 25 of the 30 Saturday matches in England’s top three divisions, while all eight of the Premier League matches landed for those who backed over 2.5 goals.
“We were lucky the match results were so good otherwise it would have been horrendous,” said bet365’s Steve Freeth. “We suffered heavy losses on both teams to score, over the goals and the other related markets.”
Betfred's Peter Spencer added: "The goals have cost us an absolute fortune, well into six figures in fact with fans cashing in on our goals galore specials.”
There was nowhere near as much fun to be had at Vicarage Road as Palace edged a tight game thanks to Yohan Cabaye’s second-half penalty which saw the Eagles up to sixth in the Premier League.
Middlesbrough moved up to second spot in the Championship following their success over Leeds at the Riverside.
