Lucky Weekend For William Hill Football Punters

There will have been one very nervous William Hill punter watching as Newcastle defeated Stoke on Monday evening and landed a £25,000 accumulator. The 44 year old from Margate was hoping for a Newcastle win at 5/2 in order to bring home a 12 team accumulator staked on William Hill online. All of the other selections came in on Saturday and included Manchester City, Liverpool, Manchester United and Rangers.

“This punter, who only ever bets between one and ten pounds each weekend on the football will have had his nerves calmed as Demba Ba smashed home a hat-trick to land £24,953.77 from just a five pound stake,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

It seems that the football luck was contagious this weekend as two other punters landed big money accumulators from relatively small stakes. One shop punter from the Romford area bagged £20,592.23 from a £3 accumulator while a shop punter from central Glasgow landed a seven team, £5 accumulator that paid out £11,535.33.

“We have had three winners this weekend winning life changing sums of money,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

The three winning accumulators:

Margate (£5 won £24,953.77) Romford (£3 won £20,592.23) Glasgow (£5 won £11,535.33)

Million Thanks To Carlo As Becks 1/5 To Join Spurs

CHELSEA DRAW IS MILLION POUND PLUS BOOST FOR WILLIAM HILL

WILLIAM HILL breathed a million pound-plus sigh of relief when Chelsea failed to beat Villa. ‘Thanks a million, Carlo – after Saturday’s punter-friendly results we had hordes of accumulators running on to a Chelsea victory, so their failure to win is worth a seven figure saving to us and probably an eight figure boost for the industry’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

CARLO MORE LIKELY TO SURVIVE THAN GERARD!

WILLIAM HILL make Carlo Ancelotti an 8/11 chance still to be Chelsea boss on the first day of next season, while Gerard Houllier is 5/6 still to be Villa manager – they are Even money and 5/6 respectively to have left their club by that date. ‘This was a result which clearly did more for Villa than Chelsea, but Houllier is generally perceived to be more at risk than Ancelotti’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills have lengthened Chelsea from 7/2 to 9/2 third favourites to win the Premier League title, and cut Man U from 11/10 to Even money favourites with Aresenal 10/3 second favourites; Man City 11/2; Spurs 20/1.

BECKHAM NOW 1/5 TO JOIN SPURS

WILLIAM HILL have slahed their odds for David Beckham to join Spurs before he returns to the MLS from 1/3 to 1/5. ‘There seems to be something of a Redknapp-Beckham love-in going on, so we’ve had to cut our odds for Becks to go to White Hart Lane on loan’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Mystery Man Defies Odds Of 25,000/1 To Scoop Early Christmas Present

A William Hill punter from Swindon has scooped a massive £26,993.96 from just £1. The mystery punter placed an unlikely 20-fold football accumulator online and included teams from all over Europe in his selections. 19 of the games were winners whilst the other game was a postponed game between Lech Poznan and Widzew Lodz.

The punter has overcome odds of over 25000/1 and has taken Hills to the cleaners. His usual bets are football accumulators from around the world including English, European and South American football.

“Anyone who has done an accumulator will know that it is tough enough predicting five teams to win, let alone 20. We are sure that the winter blues will be banished by this bumper payout,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

GUNNERS’ TITLE ODDS SLASHED AFTER SIX GOAL HAUL

WILLIAM HILL have slashed Arsenal’s title odds from 9/1 to 11/2 following their demolition of Everton, while Manchester City are now odds on to win the ‘Without Big 4’ market – but 13/8 to break into the top four. ‘Villa’s defeat saved us from a massive payout on the opening day of the Premiership campaign – but if Liverpool and United win on Sunday we’ll be facing a huge battering as thousands of punters have them in accumulators with Arsenal and Chelsea’ said Hill’s spokesman Garahm Sharpe.

5/1 Football Punter To Hit William Hill For £2m This Season

5/1 Hills to pay out £2m on single bet this season:
‘WIN £2m WITH WILLIAM HILL’ : BOOKIES WELCOME NEW SEASON WITH RECORD PAYOUT OFFER

SINCE THE DECLINE of the football pools’ jackpots, it has not been possible to win more than £1million by betting on football matches – until now, as bookmakers William Hill have announced that they are raising their payout limit to £2million – the highest of any bookmaker – from the start of the new Premiership season.

‘Football betting has never been more popular and we feel the time is right to offer punters the opportunity of winning a life-changing amount of money by pitting their knowledge of the game against that of our odds compilers. So we have doubled our current £1 maximum winnings from this week. This concession is expected to encourage punters to include more matches in their accumulators in order to ratchet up their potential winnings, and it can only be a matter of time until someone becomes British bookmaking’s first ever double millionaire.’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Hills have even opened a book on when they will pay out on their first £2million winning football bet, offering 5/1 during the current season; 10/1 during the World Cup Finals 2010; 4/1 next season; 8/13 in 2011/12 or later.

**In 2001 Hills paid Staffordshire roofer Mick Gibbs £500,000 for a 30p accumulator ending with Bayern Munich’s victory over Valencia in the Champions League Final.

**In 1998 London Financier Galen Moore collected £760,000 from Hills after backing West Ham and Charlton to win the ‘handicaps’ in their respective divisions.

Please Note>>>>>>£2m Limit applies to Grade One matches/trophies played in following competitions: English Premiership;SPL; English Championship; League One; League Two; Blue Square Premier; Scottish 1,2 3.
