Bookies Suspend Betting on Delph Transfer After Flurry of Bets

It is a few weeks into the football transfer window and not long now until the new season begins. In the meantime football fans have been busy betting on likely transfers.

It seems that many people believe that Aston Villa’s Fabian Delph will be making a move to Manchester City in the near future. Pellegrini is thought to be desperate to bring in more English players after Frank Lampard, James Milner and Micah Richards all signed deals to move away from the club.

As a result of all the speculation, and a huge flurry of betting, bookies are now beginning to suspending betting on the move. Sky Bet was the first to suspend betting after a run of bets at very short prices were placed in one day. There are still fifty days remaining of the transfer window, so it could take a little while to find out if the punters were correct.
