Betfred Pay Out Early on Man City Winning The 2023/24 Premier League

With still six games left of the season, Betfred’s founder Fred Done has made a bold decision to pay out early on bets that backed Man City to win this years Premier League. Fred Done’s confidence that City will claim their fourth consecutive title came after both Liverpool and Arsenal were defeated at home on the weekend, tilting the odds in City’s favour. But with just a two-point lead in what’s already being called a three horse-race, could be a huge risk.

Betfred’s History of Early Payouts

Fred Done has a history of early payouts which first began back in 1998 when he backed Manchester United and lost. Surprisingly, that didn’t prevent him from offering early payouts again in the future, with this years early payout marking the ninth time Betfred have taken this approach. While early payouts haven’t always worked out for Done, it’s certainly gained Betfred some valuable PR over the years. By paying out over £750,000 early, Betfred not only gain a ton of media attention but also reward their customers, building on their reputation as a customer centric bookmaker.

Why Betfred Chose to Pay Out Early

Although it might seem like a huge gamble on the surface, Manchester City’s recent 5-1 victory over Luton Town, coupled with home losses from both Liverpool and Arsenal, was enough to convince Done that the title race was over. “I watched both the Liverpool and Arsenal games yesterday and for me, it’s game over,” Done stated, reflecting on City’s competence.

What This Means for Punters

Punters who backed City to win before the 2pm deadline on Sunday, can now withdraw their winnings without having to worry how the remaining 6 games will play out. However, the battle remains tight with both Liverpool and Arsenal just two-points behind City, with every match a potential game-changer.

Looking Ahead

For Betfred’s early payout scheme to pay-off, City must continue their form to officially claim the title, while Liverpool and Arsenal will be aiming to take advantage of any slip-ups. With just a handful of games left to go, the end of the season is nearing, and with Frank Done heavily backed on Manchester City winning the league, Betfred continue to offer excitement in this years Premier League battle for the title by boosting both Arsenal to 5/1 and Liverpool to 7/1 to win the league.
