WOW!!!!! Bookmaker paying out future's bets with 80% of the season remaning!!!!

[HinesWard86]

Bookmaker Paddy Power is already crediting money to people who bet Chelsea to win the English Premier League. Now keep in mind that the season is 7 GAMES OLD!!!!! Chelsea is 7-0-0 and looking good, but there are still 31 games left in the season!!! Amazing!!! What happens if Chelsea blows the lead? Anyone out there who can see why they'd do this so early into the season when so much could change?

Mr Hines,
This is an old bookmaking ploy to suck in greenhorn punters to think " Wow, what a great book", in reality the liability is next to nothing, especially when you add in advertising costs. That said, PP are a good book which I have never had a problem with and are 100% safe.

That seems strange to me also.
