Ladbrokes are celebrating the derailing of the Chelsea juggernaut

Bookmakers Ladbrokes are celebrating tonight following the derailing of the Chelsea juggernaut. Jose Mourinho's side were quoted at 100/1 for the treble at the start of the season and we estimate that the industry has been spared a payout of over £4 million. Liverpool have been as big as 33/1 to win the Champions League and are cut from 11/2 to 6/4 but Milan remain favourites.Ladbrokes spokesman Warren Lush said:" We estimate that the industry has been spared a £4 million payout by Luis Garcia's controversial goal. It just goes to show how much money there can be riding on one decision.""Over £10 million has been gambled on both legs, the biggest betting games since Euro 2004. We're relieved that the smile has finally been wiped off Mourinho's face as it has saved us a fortune."
