There's a famous EPL story about betting.I spoke to a cabbie many years ago and he told me a story of a friend that put that sort of money on the Aussies in cricket against Sri Lanka and the the odds were around the same not to mention they had never won a game at that oval and their record on our home soil was atrocious. anyway he thought he could get a free expensive dinner for the wife but ended up losing it all - Sri lanka won and he drove cabs.
Tottenham were beating Manchester United 3-0 at half time and a guy bet his whole savings (he was engaged and was saving for a wedding) on Tottenham to win the game. Second half Man Utd scored 5 goals, win the game 5-3 and the poor guy lost it all
