Cash Out: Late Lane joy for Tottenham pays dividends

Do You...Don't You? Cash Out is the unique Betfair tool that allows you to lock in a profit or minimise losses regardless of the final result. In a new regular column, Christian Crowther reviews where the optimum Cash Out profits were to be had from last weekend's Premier League action... 

Cash Out is the phrase on every punter's lips and here at Betfair we are so committed to helping our customers find the best value that we have created our very own Cash Out Value league table.

The table works by adding up the total minutes of positive Cash Out return a team has offered throughout each game, then displaying the average over the duration of the season.

All Cash Out value is based on a 25 stake.

Last weekend's Premier League action threw up all sorts of drama at both ends of the table, with 90% of the games producing at least two goals.

Liverpool's 5-0 demolition of Norwich was also one of four games which produced over 3.5 goals as part of a goal-filled showing in the top-flight.

And where there are goals, there are always going to be big cash out opportunities for those with a bit of know-how and a healthy sense of timing.

Observers who got behind a Newcastle win over Reading - but were wise to the goal threat from the bench posed by Adam Le Fondre - could have made a tidy 10.59 profit if they'd cashed out just before the striker's 71st-minute equaliser.

However, it was leaders Manchester United's big Sunday afternoon clash at White Hart Lane which provided the Cash Out dream ticket, thanks to Clint Dempsey's equaliser deep into stoppage time.

While a mixture of David De Gea's ineptitude and a turned down penalty appeal enraged Sir Alex Ferguson at the whistle, those who suspected Tottenham would grab their richly deserved leveller would have been cartwheeling in delight if they'd cashed out on a United victory just before the Texan slotted home.

If the Premier League has taught us anything it's to expect late, late goals and those who applied this principle with Spurs continuing to pepper their visitors' goal, could have walked away with a cool 34.05 profit.
