Champions League Odds: Sharps Back Real Madrid With 50% Of Handle
In the past week Real Madrid have sealed La Liga but bettors don't believe that's the end of Real Madrid's trophy hunting this season.
With the Champions League set to restart on August 7 we can exclusively reveal that over the past 7 days, sharp bettors have been backing Real Madrid, with the Spaniards taking over 50% of the handle, despite only taking 17.6% of total bets. Some bettors have been ploughing big money into Zidane's boys, who could offer huge value at +3000.
It's unusual for an outsider to be taking so much share of the handle, with Bayern Munich (+350) and Man City (+400) leading the betting.
Real find themselves at such an unusually large price because they enter the second leg of their tie against Manchester City 2-1 down. They've been very impressive down the stretch this season and it's no surprise that some shrewd bettors think they offer incredible value. Their price has already shortened, moving from +3300 to a best price of +3000 over the past 10 days.
