Cash Out: Chelsea backers bite back with big profits

Eden Hazard has scored Chelsea's second from the spot

It's only natural that the abominable actions of Luis Suarez dominate the headlines; after all, it's not every day the world witnesses such lunacy, thankfully it might be added.

But while chomp-gate dominates the footballing newsphere, there was actually some brilliant televised football played in the Premier League on Sunday, some of which ironically featured football's most wanted, with cash-out opportunities aplenty.

If it wasn't for the Uruguayan's split personality of genius/madman then three of the four goals at Anfield would not have been scored.

For starters, his beautifully measured first-time ball to set up substitute Daniel Sturridge put the Liverpool comeback in motion. After a lacklustre showing in the first half, the Reds started the second all guns blazing with Sturridge striking the post minutes before finding the net.

Those Chelsea backers who were sensing the equaliser might have cashed out for 25 just before it arrived but of course, punters would have been far more richly rewarded had they waited until the 96th minute.

Following Suarez's second meaningful contribution of the half in which he inexplicably handled the ball in the box, resulting in Chelsea taking charge once more, the cash-out value began to climb again.

In the moments preceding that last-gasp headed equaliser, the cash-out value soared to a maximum 60.28.

Despite reopening a two-goal cushion in the top scorer charts over Robin van Persie, any proposed ban could easily see the Dutchman overhaul his 23 goals with five games left to play - RVP is rated at 1.538/15. 

In Sunday's other televised clash, Tottenham showed remarkable spirit to come from behind and beat Manchester City 3-1, after the champions appeared to be cruising in a largely dominant first-half display where they took the lead through Samir Nasri.

Andre Villas-Boas can take huge credit for switching his team's tactics around, sending Gareth Bale out to the wing and introducing Jermain Defoe, who got the second.

Backers of a City win who sensed a change in the tide at White Hart Lane could have locked in 27.65 before Clint Dempsey swept home the equaliser. 

Tottenham's top-four chances are now rated at 2.01/1.
