As this represents odds of 7/2, I was surprised to read in the next paragraph that the punter had “accepted the odds being offered by Ladbrokes of 5/2”.
As Ladbrokes odds would return “winnings” of only £125,000, I wonder if, should Murray win Wimbledon, the punter will try to hold The Scotsman to the higher winnings stated.
