Bookies to say sorry with dairy treat

Paddy Power controversially paid out on Stoke being relegated on the opening day of the season. After losing 3-1 to Bolton, the Irish bookmakers shelled out £30,000 and reasoned: “If you’re getting tonked by Bolton on the opening day you’re going to struggle.”
