Bets have poured in for The Terriers to win the league following their 3-0 win over Crystal Palace
Plenty of people missed out on a massive win when Leicester City won the league two seasons ago, however punters are adamant to cash in another potential miracle this year. Huddersfield were top of the table before Manchester United thrashed West Ham on Sunday, and the early season success sparked a surge in betting in the market.
David Wagner’s men still remain 2500/1 to win the Premier League this season, and even though you can still back The Terries at this price, one bookmaker has cut their odds to as short as 750/1.
Since their opening day win Huddersfield have accounted for 14.7% of bets to win the Premier League, the second most popular pick behind Manchester United. Even though the odds suggest this is an unlikely outcome, 22% of total stakes placed on the market have been on the Yorkshire club. This includes numerous bets of £50 at odds of 2500/1, which will return a massive £125,000 profit.
Club record signing Steve Mounie bagged a brace on debut against Palace prompting bookies to slash his odds to finish as the League’s top goalscorer from 250/1 to as short as 50/1. Even with his opening day double, the 22 year-old from Benin has only accounted for 2% of bets since the final whistle.
Oddschecker spokesman, George Elek “After watching Leicester City lift the title two seasons ago, punters are desperate not to miss out on the next Premier League winners to come in at an eye-watering price. David Wagner’s Huddersfield have defied the odds in just reaching the top-flight, but their 3-0 win at Crystal Palace on the weekend has got the public fancying the chances of another huge shock. Only Manchester United have seen more action with the bookies and, with liabilities of over £125k on many bets, they will be hoping that the Terriers don’t match the success of the Foxes.”
