2 Bookies To Pay Out On Owen and Lampard
Bet 365 and the Tote are paying out on both Lampard and Owen For Scoring The First Goal Of The England V Wales Match.
Ladbrokes, Coral and William Hill are only paying out Lampard backers at the moment. It is possible that could change.
Owen, Lampard or Both?Gamblog Comment :: Rules are rules when striking a bet and the rules state the bookies "pay out on the Press Association announcement of goalscorers".
England played Wales yesterday and won 2-0. The first goal was scored when a 3rd minute freekick by Frank Lampard was deflected into the goal by Michael Owen.
Lampard's strike was most certainly going to be saved by the Welsh keeper Paul Jones until the ball clipped Owen's heel.
Most annoyingly the Press Association and football's governing body FIFA have credited Lampard with the goal, even though it is clearly Owen's.
What transpires is punters who backed "Michael Owen to score the first goal of the match," lose out even though Michael Owen did indeed "score the first goal of the match."
Owen backers will have to bite the bullet unless the Press Association change their mind. My advice would be to Lampard backers to get to the cashout till quick and get your money.
