Just one game in to the new Premier League season and the PR department at Paddypower have been up to their usual tricks. After going down 3-1 to Bolton on Saturday, the Irish bookmaker has decided to relegate Stoke City from the Premiership! The Potters were antepost favourites at 2/5 in the relegation betting, to make a quick return to The Championship, but manager Tony Pulis would have surely been hoping to be given more than 90 minutes to try and plan the great escape at the Britannia stadium.
Despite the early payout, Paddypower are still offering the best odds of any other bookmaker that Stoke go down at 4/9. At such short odds, it will have been the big hitting punters who got stuck in to those odds, so anyone lucky enough to have backed Stoke to get relegated, will be celebrating an earlier that expected winfall.
In an attempt to ease the pain of Stoke City fans, Paddy Power are offering a £50 (no strings attached) free bet to all adult season ticket holders. So if any of the 18,000 Britannia faithful are reading this, Open an account with Paddypower drop them an email and claim your free £50. Maybe have a bet on your side to stay up at 13/8 and leave them with egg on their face!
With Stoke already relegated, the question is which two sides will be joinging them? Hull are the favourites at 2/5, which may be worth a bet, given there is a good chance of another early payout if they get beat at the weekend and West Brom are the even money second favourites. Manchester City were the biggest movers following the opening weekend, after a 4-2 defeat to Aston Villa and arevare now as short as 7/1 to be the shock inclusion in the bottom three come May.
