Fantastic Finale To Football Season Sparks £15million Betting Bonanza

William Hill are predicting a massive betting bonanza in what will be an epic finale to the football season. Saturday sees the Champions League Final, Championship Playoff Final and the William Hill Scottish Cup Final and football fans will be looking forward to having their last punts of what has been a fantastic season at home and abroad.

Chelsea take on Bayern Munich on the German side’s home turf and are underdogs to lift Europe’s biggest trophy. Given the home advantage, Hills are expecting a comfortable victory for Bayern and make them 4/5 to win in 90 minutes and 2/5 to lift the trophy. Chelsea are 7/2 to win in 90 minutes and 15/8 to lift the trophy.

Chelsea had a bit of luck, a bit of quality and a lot of guts in their victory Barca last time out and we think they will need more of the same in order to get anything out of this game, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

Hills are predicting that around £10million will be wagered industry wide on the game which would make it one of the largest turnover matches in history.

Arjen Robben is going to coming up against his former club and William Hill make him the 5/1 favourite to be named Man of the Match in the Champions League Final, ahead of his teammates, Mario Gomez at 6/1 and Frank Ribery at 7/1. Those three players are clearly Bayerns danger men and Hills are offering 12/1 that all three of them score on Saturday evening.

Chelsea successfully subdued the triple threat of Messi, Xavi and Iniesta in their last Champions League match although Bayern Munich offer a completely different and some would say more potent threat, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

Chelsea had to rely on a bit of luck to grab the draw they needed in the Nou Camp and Leo Messi missed a penalty as Chelsea inched into the final. Hills are offering 20/1 that Bayern Munich are awarded a penalty in 90 minutes and miss it.

Didier Drogba was on fine form against Barcelona and he will need to be at his best to help Chelsea lift the trophy. He is 8/1 to open the scoring in the match and the same price to win man of the match. Despite the massive influence that he has had in his time at Chelsea, he s just 8/11 to have left the club by the start of next season (Even money to still be there).

Drogba has been a fantastic servant to Chelsea and there would be no better way for him to sign off than put in a performance that helped Chelsea lift the trophy, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

PLAYOFF FINAL

Blackpool are taking on West Ham in the Championship playoff final and Hills make the Hammers the 19/20 favourites to win the match in 90 minutes and 8/13 to win promotion. Blackpool are quite big priced outsiders and are 14/5 to win the match in 90 minutes, although are only 5/4 to win promotion.

There will be a lot of people who will be saying that the Champions League Final will be the showpiece event on Saturday, but given the way that both sides play, the match in Munich may have competition, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

With both sides favouring attack to defence, there is the chance that there could be a few goals and Hills are offering 4/1 that four or more goals are scored and West Ham win in normal time.

Some might say that Big Sam Needs a win in order to keep hold of his job and Hills go 13/8 that he is no longer West Ham boss on the first day of next season (4/9 he is still there).

WILLIAM HILL SCOTTISH CUP

The William Hill Scottish Cup reaches its climax on Saturday and the tournament sponsors make Hearts the favourites to lift the trophy in a match that is expected to attract up to £2 million turnover industry wide. The Jambos are 4/7 to win the tournament outright and 6/5 to so in 90 minutes. Hibs are 11/8 to win the trophy and 2/1 to do so in 90 minutes, with the draw also 2/1. Of the £2 million expected to be wagered, Hills predict that 3/4 of that will be from north of the border as Scottish football fans embrace the last match of the season.

These three games are fully expected to draw in at least £15 million industry wide between them as football fans ready themselves for one last hurrah this season, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly

England 13/8 To Crash Out At Group Stage As Fabio 10/3 To Go

‘Biggest ever England winner for bookies’:
Fabio 10/3 to be gone by end of World Cup:
ENGLAND 13/8 TO GO OUT AT GROUP STAGE AS BOOKIES CLEAN UP

ENGLAND are now quoted at 13/8 by William Hill to FAIL to qualify from their World Cup Group after another dismal display against Algeria and Hills have lengthened England to 10/1 SIXTH favourites to win the tournament, having started as third favourites.
‘As bookmakers we should be over the moon, as that looks like the biggest winning England game we’ve ever seen – the indiustry must have made around £10million -but as patriots we are almost in despair’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘We are making short term profits from England’s failures but in the long term we want them going much further in the tournament to keep the interest going’
Hills believe that Fabio Capello’s own future as England boss is now under threat and they offer 10/3 that he will be gone by the end of the tournament. ‘If England don’t improve rapidly Fabio’s future as boss will be measured in days rather than years’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’He certainly won’t be around to celebrate his 65th birthday, exactly a year hence, as England manager.’
ENGLAND ARE 2/5 WITH HILLS TO WIN THEIR VITAL GAME AGAINST SLOVENIA, WHO ARE 6/1 WITH THE DRAW 11/4.

ENGLAND TO QUALIFY….4/9 YES….13/8 NO

TO WIN WORLD CUP….9/2 Argentina; 5/1 Brazil; 5/1 Spain; 7/1 Holland; 9/1 Germany; 10/1 England; 14/1 Italy; 25/1 Portugal; 500/1 Algeria.

Green Blunder Costliest Ever As Punters ‘ Robbed ‘ Of £10m +

June 17, 2010 Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments 10million, 163, Backers, Blunder, Bookies, Correct Score, England Rugby Union, Fabio Capello, Graham Sharpe, Hand Of God, Hand Of God Goal, Hundreds Of Thousands, Joe Hart, Maradona Hand Of God, Maradona Hand Of God Goal, Sp-fb, Stadiums, Union Boss, William Hill, World Cup, World Cups

Was this costliest soccer howler ever?
GREEN’S BLUNDER ROBS PUNTERS OF £10MILLION+

BOOKMAKERS William Hill say Rob Green’s disastrous error was the costliest mistake ever for Britain’s punters: ‘The difference between Green making the save, and letting the ball in made a difference of over £10million to how much bookies had to pay out to punters who backed England to win the game – in eight World Cups I can never remember a costlier blunder for backers – and that includes the Maradona hand of God goal – which only stopped England drawing, rather than winning’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. ‘Several punters had bet £10,000 on England to win and hundreds of thousands of supporters had more modest bets on the outcome of the game and the correct score.’

ROB GREEN IS EVEN MONEY FAVOURITE WITH WILLIAM HILL TO START THE GAME V ALGERIA, WITH DAVID JAMES AND JOE HART EACH OFFERED AT 9/4.

ENGLAND ARE 8/1 TO WIN THE WORLD CUP WITH WILLIAM HILL.

MARTIN JOHNSON, ENGLAND RUGBY UNION BOSS, IS 4/6 FAVOURITE TO LEAVE HIS JOB BEFORE FABIO CAPELLO DOES LIKEWISE – HILLS OFFER 11/10 VICED VERSA. ‘BOTH ENGLAND BOSSES ARE UNDER PRESSURE BUT JOHNSON CURRENTLY LOOKS MORE VULNERABLE’ SAID HILL’S SPOKESMAN GRAHAM SHARPE.

WILLIAM HILL OFFER 50/1 THAT THE VUVUZUELA WILL BE OFFICIALLY BANNED FROM STADIUMS BEFORE THE END OF THE WORLD CUP.
