Liverpool's 7-0 thrashing of Birmingham in the FA Cup

Liverpool's 7-0 thrashing of Birmingham in the FA Cup proved a magnificent result for many shrewd punters who bet on that result with William Hill. "Oddly enough, although we took a few bets of a fiver or less at 100/1 for the 7-0 result prior to kick-off, the biggest bets we took for the score line were placed during game via the internet. One customer from Manchester staked £25 at 66/1 when the score was 3-0, and won £1650; while another from Cleveland picked up a profit of £1320 after betting £20. Overall, we lost a five figure sum on the outcome", said Hill's spokesman Graham Sharpe. HOWEVER, the result was bad news for Birmingham boss Steve Bruce, whose future looks poised on a knife edge - with William Hill now offering 5/6 that he survives until the end of the season and 5/6 that he does not. Bruce is also now 13/8 to be the next Premiership manager to leave his club this season. William Hill are already offering 12/1 that Birmingham will concede seven or more goals against Manchester United in their next match. And following the defeat, Hills cut their odds about Birmingham being relegated from 4/7 to 4/9 and now offer 13/8 that they can stay up.
