AS many as 29 punters are in dreamland after backing Watford to beat Liverpool 3-0 at a staggering 150-1.
It’s the biggest price of the season and has seen one lucky punter scoop a whopping £1,510.

Alex Apati of Ladbrokes confirmed: “Hardly anyone saw things panning out the way they did at Vicarage Road tonight.
“But the result has gone down as the biggest priced scoreline of the season so far.”
Two goals from Ismaila Sarr and a third from Troy Deeney saw Watford become the first team to beat Liverpool in the league this season.
It means Jurgen Klopp’s men will not be able to join Arsenal as an ‘Invincibles’ side when they claim the title.
And the defeat also saw Liverpool’s 18-game winning streak come to an abrupt end, just one away from setting a new English top-flight record.
The result also means Watford are finally out of the relegation zone – albeit on goal difference.
And Hornets boss Nigel Pearson reckons the result can spur his side on to secure safety.
He said: “It’s such an important win for us. But it is one win.
“Our season has been tough so far, with losing last week and not playing well, we were keen to get a response.
“They are such an outstanding side, we had to get our performance right – as close to max as possible – and I thought we thoroughly deserved the win.
“We threatened with the ball and defended with discipline, energy and commitment. That’s been the message from day one.
“It’s in our own hands, and we have to deliver that performance week in, week out.”
