Skybet this afternoon brought Franck Ribery in from 66/1 to 8/13 to join Liverpool.
The firm took a number of bets this afternoon after the French winger had last week ruled out a move to England.
Ribery's price was lowered and backed throughout the day before the Harrogate-based firm made the Bayern Munich player odds-on to join the Anfield club.
Skybet’s Dale Tempest said: "Every price we have put up has been taken on Ribery moving to Liverpool, which has left us stumped as in recent weeks he has been liked with every other club but the Reds!
"After seeing money for him to join Man United and Real Madrid at the same time that Bayern Munich say he’s going nowhere, we’ve now seen a flood of bets on him to join Liverpool.
Since this kind of betting, you can control the outcome. Example: You're Liverpool owners. You put $5,000 bet at 66/1 for Ribery to Liverpool at many betting houses as you can. Assume you can place the bet at 20 different places.
$50,000 x 20 betting places x 66 odds = $66 million in winning.
Same thing with Owen to Man Utd (20/1 odds). $50,000 would net you $1 mil winning. Do that at many places as possible and you pay for his salary from these winnings. Of course, they do it through proxies.
