Mystery Punter Leaves £31k Unclaimed

A mystery William Hill customer has so far left a whopping jackpot win of over £31,000 unclaimed. The spectacular win is the result of a 50 pence stake on a football bet that consisted of nine selections resulting in a draw.

The bet was placed in Arbroath on Friday 10th August on the next day’s matches. The punter backed an array of draws including the Hull v Rotherham clash in the Capital One Cup which went to extra time and other games with teams leagues apart. Aldershot helped bump his winnings up by gaining an unlikely draw at Molineux against Wolves at odds of 3/1.

“The close to 64,000/1 shot is a fantastic win and an amazing start to the season for someone but to leave it unclaimed since Saturday is rather unusual. We are not sure if this customer has gone on holiday or if he just doesn’t realise how lucky he has been but we will be more than happy to pay out when the penny drops,” said William Hill spokesman Mark Young.

Chelsea Getting Ever Closer…but When Will Torres Score?

Fernando Torres failed to find the net again although William Hill are offering 4/5 that he bags his first Chelsea goal at Stamford Bridge against Copenhagen next week. 7/1 is on offer for him to fail to find the net for the next five matches. Defeat left Blackpool dangling perilously over the relegation trapdoor and thus increased the probability of star man, Charlie Adam, leaving the club. Hills are offering 13/8 that he leaves for Tottenham in the Summer, while 5/2 is on offer for him to join the Kenny Dalglish revolution at Anfield.

“Torres looks more worth 50p than £50 million at the moment, but he is a quality forward but we are expecting him to take us for a small fortune when he does eventually score,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “Possibly staring with Copenhagen next week.”

Blackpool are only two points off relegation now and Hills have them as Even money (from 6/5) to be relegated at the end of the season, while Chelsea on the other hand have closed the gap on Manchester United and have been cut from 14/1 to 7/1 to retain their Premier League crown. “Chelsea are well and truly over their slump…write them off at your peril!”

Which Club Will Charlie Adam Be At On First Day Of Next Season: 13/8 Tottenham; 5/2 Liverpool; 5/1 Blackpool; 10/1 Manchester United; 16/1 German Club; 20/1 Spanish Club; 25/1 Italian Club

Fernando Torres First Chelsea Goal: 4/5 Copenhagen; 5/2 Manchester City; 5/1 Stoke; 8/1 Wigan; 12/1 West Brom; 7/1 None of the next five

Premier League Outright: 8/11 Manchester United; 7/4 Arsenal; 7/1 Chelsea; 25/1 Manchester City; 200/1 Tottenham

Premier League Relegation: 2/7 Wigan; 1/1 Blackpool; 6/5 Wolves; 11/8 West Ham; 7/4 West Brom; 9/4 Birmingham; 3/1 Blackburn; 10/1 BAR
