Manchester City eased to victory in the FA Cup final on Saturday afternoon with a 6-0 win over Watford at Wembley.
David Silva opened the scoring whilst braces from Gabriel Jesus and Raheem Sterling, as well as a strike from official man of the match Kevin De Bruyne, meant there was to be no upset this season.
William Hill were just 2/7 (1.28) about City winning the match inside 90 minutes whilst a 6-0 victory was priced at 40/1 (41.0) – with 207 punters getting paid out on the correct score.
The biggest wager the firm took on the Premier League champions winning by that scoreline was £30, meaning the bettor walked away with £1,230.
They also report that the biggest bet on City taking to spoils in normal time was £10,000, which returned £12,857 including their stake, whilst there was a £16,000 wager on them lifting the trophy at 1/8 (1.13).
The latter bet returned £18,000 including the initial stake, and City securing the domestic treble never looked in doubt as soon as they went 1-0 up. Indeed, the Hornets had just two shots on target all afternoon.
Attention can now turn to next year’s competition and William Hill are just 3/1 (4.0) on the Citizens retaining the trophy. The winners managed 26 goals in this season’s tournament and similar domination could be on the cards next term.
The bookmaker offers 5/1 (6.0) that Liverpool are able to win their first FA Cup since 2006, although the Reds have not got past the fourth round under Jurgen Klopp and got past round five just twice in the last 13 seasons.
It is 7/1 (8.0) that Chelsea lift the cup for the second time in three seasons and the same price is available on Spurs, with Arsenal and Manchester United both available at 8/1 (9.0).
Just three of the last 31 FA Cup finals have been won by a team not part of the current “big six”, but you can get odds of 16/1 (17.0) on each of Wolves, Everton and Leicester.
