Paddy Power may have crowned Arsenal as Premier League champions a little too soon, in a move that could cost them more than £1million. At the time, Paddy Power couldn't see anyone reeling Arsenal in. Arsenal had to settle for a disappointing 1-1 draw against relegation-bound side WolvesThe early payout, which could end up totalling more than £1million, now looks like one of the most costly calls in recent bookmaking memory. The accountants won't be happy with another early payout this season which could also prove a complete blunder. 'We were so confident Arsenal had it wrapped up we practically started engraving the trophy ourselves', a Paddy Power spokesperson said.
