Ladbrokes on Chelseas vs Liverpool

Ladbrokes can report that the Champions League semi-final matches between Chelsea and Liverpool will be the biggest betting football games since Euro 2004.Ladbrokes spokesman Warren Lush said: "We expect turnover across the industry to exceed £10 million on the two games, meaning the all English semi-final will represent the biggest betting games since Euro 2004. To bookmakers, it is like having two cup finals in two weeks.""Even though Chelsea are odds-on to win the first leg they are undoubtedly and unsurprisingly the punters' choice to win the first leg. We have taken 30 TIMES more money for the Blues than we have for Benitez's side. We'll be in dreamland if the Reds get a result a Stamford Bridge and will be shelling out thousands if Mourinho gets a result.""Liverpool winning the Champions League is a bad result for bookmakers as they have been backed at odds as big as 33/1 but we'd prefer the Reds to triumph as a Chelsea treble was a 100/1 chance at the start of the season and there has been no shortage of people out there backing Mourinho to do the business in his debut season.""The most popular bets for the match on the first goalscorer are for Frank Lampard and John Terry of Chelsea and Steven Gerrard and Sami Hyypia of Liverpool, while Chelsea to win 2-1 is the most favoured correct score prediction."Ladbrokes have PAID OUT on Chelsea as winners of the Premiership.TO WIN THE FIRST LEG4/7 CHELSEA9/2 LIVERPOOL9/4 DRAWCHAMPIONS LEAGUE WINNER5/4 MILAN6/4 CHELSEA11/2 LIVERPOOL8/1 PSVSPECIALS2/1 CHELSEA TO WIN BY ONE GOAL10/1 MOURINHO TO GET SENT OFF 4/1 A PLAYER TO BE SENT OFF6/5 CHELSEA TO KEEP A CLEAN SHEET9/4 CHELSEA TO WIN BOTH HALVES25/1 LIVERPOOL TO WIN BOTH HALVES5/1 CHELSEA TO SCORE A PENALTY5/1 LIVERPOOL TO SCORE A PENALTY20/1 CHELSEA TO MISS A PENALTY20/1 LIVERPOOL TO MISS A PENALTY5/1 DROGBA TO SCORE WITH A HEADER7/1 BAROS TO SCORE WITH A HEADER6/1 TERRY TO SCORE WITH A HEADERNATIONALITY OF WINNER4/5 ENGLISH6/5 ITALIAN8/1 DUTCH
