Those who chose Olympiakos, the Greek champion in Greece, and Manchester City, the English champions, have already gone to the box office!
The league is in full swing, with two games left for the end of regular season and another 10 in the play-offs. Olympiacos has taken a significant lead from its pursuers, however there is still a way to judge the title mathematically in its favor.
But that did not stop Stoiximan from paying its players' bets on conquest of the Super League by Olympiakos!
This move is not only unprecedented for the members of Stoiximan. In January 2012 and February 2016 he had paid the Olympic champion again, while in February 2019 he did the same with PAOK.
It is worth noting that in case the big upset in this year's championship and Olympiacos loses the cup, then Stoiximan will of course pay those who have played as the winner the team that will win it! That is, in case of reversal, the Greek betting company will pay two teams as winners of an event!
Manchester City was also paid, following in the footsteps of Liverpool
The same decision for the Super League was made by Stoiximan for the Premier League, paying those who chose Manchester City as champions. Something he had done in December 2019 for those who bet on Liverpool. In the same year and specifically in February, he had paid both Juventus (Serie A) and Paris Saint-Germain (Ligue 1).
And it may seem difficult for Olympiacos and City to lose the title this year, however in the past it has happened to betting companies to take the risk of early repayment and in the end to pay two teams!
When Betfred paid for two teams as champions
A typical example that belongs to this category is the British company Betfred, the owner of which is a fanatical friend of Manchester United. This led him to pay early in March 1998 as United champions, a move that cost him .500.000 11 after Arsenal returned from -XNUMX that year, winning the Premier League.
However, he did not mind and cheated on her again in April 2012, paying United early as champions when she was at +8 from City with six games left. He even said publicly at the time that "in 1998 Fergie told me to never pay early, but this time I am not going to fall out". Finally, the "citizens" reached his team and won the championship thanks to the goal difference!
