Weekend Review: Layers come out on top after Premier League draws

An exhilarating North London Derby brought the weekend’s punting to an end on Sunday afternoon as Arsenal drew 2-2 with bitter rivals Tottenham.

The match was Kindred Group’s biggest betting event of a weekend in which the bookies were left delighted at a series of draws for some high-profile teams including Manchester United and Chelsea.

Kindred Group’s Ali Gill said: “The North London Derby was our biggest event of the weekend and really went the way of the punters.

“The draw always seems to be a popular one with the neutrals in this match and so it proved, the high-scoring nature meaning the Overs goal lines also came in.

“No surprise that Man Utd’s 1-1 draw with Southampton was our biggest winning event of the weekend, and it took a fair few accas with it as punters expected a turnaround from the poor start.

“Chelsea’s 2-2 draw with Sheffield United was another one which left us well in the black whereas Everton’s late win in a thriller against Wolves was one of only two matches we lost out in.”
