By defeating 1. FC Nürnberg 2-0 last Saturday, German premier division football club Borussia Dortmund were crowned the 2010/11 Bundesliga Champions, and deservedly so considering how superbly they have played throughout the season.
Bundesliga betting fans who backed Borussia Dortmund from the start of the season must be smiling all the way to the bank, not only because of their winnings, but because they now have bragging rights up until the start of the 2011/12 Bundesliga season.
And while many Bundesliga betting fans backed FC Bayern Munich this season, the defending champs failed to live up to expectations and were ultimately no match for a determined Dortmund. That said, with two games still to play, Munich could finish second.
That is provided Munich wins its final two games of the season and that current second place club Bayer 04 Leverkusen loses both of their games and that they are not pipped at the post by current fourth place club Hannover 96, who are only two points behind.
It goes without saying that even the most ardent Munich supporters will likely give the far-too-great odds of that happening a wider than wide berth, especially considering how Munich's level of play has fluctuated like an elastic yo-yo this Bundesliga season.
So with Borussia Dortmund on top, Bayer 04 Leverkusen looking likely to finish second and FC Bayern Munich third, the 2011/12 Bundesliga season is all but over. However, Bundesliga betting fans can still capitalise on the final two games of the season.
