Official betting partner of Wolverhampton Wanderers 21Bet are rewarding fans and ante-post punters by paying out all bets on Wolves winning the EFL Championship.
At start of the Season Nuno Santos’ team were 12/1 to win the League and that price only shortened as Wolves got off to a flyer and built up a commanding lead at the top of the League. Punters latched onto this and plenty of bets came in for them.
Wolves have been scintillating this season, with the likes of Rúben Neves, Diogo Jota and Leo Bonatini causing Championship defences loads of problems, Santos’ side now stand 12 points clear and heading for the Premier League, after a hard fought victory over Ipswich at the weekend.
The chasing pack have tried, but none has been able to get close to the runaway leaders, making it difficult to envisage anyone halting Wolves on their quest to clinch the title.
Richard Hogg, CEO of 21Bet, explained the idea: “As partners of Wolves, it’s only right we be the first bookie to payout on them winning the EFL Championship and reward fans who backed their team at the start of the season. It will cost us into the Thousands, but we don’t mind.”
21Bet signed a three-year deal with Wolves in August 2016, after the club was taken over by Chinese conglomerate group Fosun International. Wolves joined 21Bet’s sponsorship alongside Gloucester Rugby Club and League of Ireland Premier Division side, Waterford FC.
