Record £1 billion gamble on World Cup, but:
BOOKIES CELEBRATE AS FAVOURITES WIN WORLD CUP

DESPITE STARTING AS favourites to win the World Cup, Spain’s triumph produced a profitable return for bookmakers William Hill who say that the World Cup was the biggest gambling event of all time, attracting a record betting turnover of £1 billion.’Not even England’s unexpected early demise prevented the World Cup producing a record betting turnover and fortunately for us Spain’s early defeat by Switzerland seemed to dampen enthusiasm for backing them, which worked in our favour’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
HOWEVER, one Hill’s client who staked £50,000 on Spain at odds of 9/2 (four and a half to one) was celebrating a return of £275,000.

WILLIAM HILL WORLD CUP 2014 ODDS…..BOOKIES WRITE OFF ENGLAND’S 2014 WORLD CUP HOPES……

ENGLAND have been written off as 16/1 no-hopers for the 2014 World Cup by William Hill – ‘We have never quoted England at such long odds for a World Cup before, but after the debacle of their campaign this time we need to offer such odds to have any hope of attracing any one to back them’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Octopus Paul’s Punters Squids In !

OCTOPUNTERS SUCKER BOOKIES FOR HALF A MILLION

BOOKMAKERS William Hill estimate that punters gambling on Paul the Psychic Octopus’s World Cup selections have won up to half a million pounds from the betting industry with their wagers.
‘Paul’s incredible Octop-eight winning selections have won any punter who bet £10 on each one of them almost £200 each, while punters far-sighted enough to keep re-investing their winnings on the next selection all the way through will have won at odds in excess of 300/1 – and there are thousands who are squids-in thanks to the psychic cepholopod’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
‘Picking all of Germany’s victories, their two defeats, and Spain’s World Cup final triumph was one of the finest tipping feats ever’ added Sharpe, ‘We can but hope Paul has gone to a rest home for retired octopii by the time the next World Cup gets underway. Fortunately for us, though, there were plenty of punters who ignored Paul’s tips, and they have contributed an excellent profit for us on a record betting turnover for a sporting event of £1 billion’

HOW MANY PLAYERS WILL END UP AS TOP SCORER?

WITH FOUR PLAYERS currently topping the World Cup scorer charts with five goals each – Forlan, Mueller, Sneijder,and Villa, William Hill have opened a book on how many players will end with the greatest number of goals in the tournament……

DAVID VILLA is now 4/5 favourite with William Hill to end up as World Cup top scorer.
**A William Hill Manchester betting shop client stands to collect £424,000 if David Villa, now 8/11 favourite to do so, ends up as tournament top scorer after placing a £30,000 double on Holland to win their Group at 4/7, with Villa at 8/1.

William Hill…..Top Goalscorer
4/5 David Villa
9/4 Wesley Sneijder
7/1 Diego Forlan
7/1 Thomas Muller
150/1 Arjen Robben
(This market will be settled by dead-heat rules if more than one player finishes with the greatest number of goals.)

OCTOPUS PAUL’S MAGNIFICENT SEVEN IS 200/1 HEADACHE FOR BOOKIES

PUNTERS WHO HAVE backed all of Paul the Octopus’s SEVEN successive winners are now just under £100 better off if they have staked £10 on each of his selections, and £2000 better off if they have reinvested their winnings on the next selection every time, say bookmakers William Hill – and if Spain win the Final, as also predicted by Paul, those profits will increase to just over £100 and to £3000 respectively.
‘Even Frankie Dettori only managed seven straight winners in what is recognised as the best ever feat of jockeyship when he rode all seven winners at Ascot in 1996 – Paul could put that winning streak to shame’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘If Spain win tomorrow we can only hope he never predivts another result until at least 2014 when the next World Cup takes place’

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

Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

‘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.

As Fabio 10/3 to quit:
ENGLAND 6/4 TO BE BOOED OFF AGAIN!
WILLIAM HILL offer 6/4 that England will be booed off the pitch for the second successive game when they play Slovenia – and punters are beginning to bet that Fabio Capello will cease to be England manager before the end of the World Cup.’The mood towards England is turning hostile, the fans are restless, and Fabio is unlikely to survive a second fiasco in a row’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’We are 10/3 that he’ll be history by the end of the tournament’

You Bet Vuvuzela More Likely To Be Banned At Home Than At World Cup!

Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

YOU BET VUVUZELA MORE LIKELY TO BE BANNED AT HOME THAN AT WORLD CUP!
BOOKMAKERS William Hill are offering odds of 7/4 that the Vuvuzela is officially banned from all Premier League grounds by the first day of next season. Hills are already offering 16/1 that the noisy objects will be banned from the World Cup before the end of the tournament, but now punters have begun betting that Premier League clubs will want to keep it out of their stadia.
‘The vuvuzela certainly polarises opinion and we suspect that individual clubs will want to put a rule in pace to enable them to ban them should they threaten to become widespread’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’We’ve already cut the odds on a ban from 3/1 to 7/4
Hills also offer 2/5 that spectators will be free to bring them into one or more Premier League grounds when the season begins.

ROONEY-MAYHEM IN BETTING SHOPS AS WORLD’S BIGGEST GAMBLE UNDER WAY

ROONEY-MANIA is helping drive the biggest gamble of all time as punters bet over £1 billion on the outcome of the World Cup, say bookmakers William Hill, who have already taken bets of £60,000; $85,000; £110,000 and £200,000 on the tournament and now anticipate a £25m gamble on England’s opening match against USA.
‘No event has ever produced a betting turnover of £1 billion before – but that is going to happen at this World Cup – we have already taken mega-bets of up to £200,000, with that amount staked on an accumulator bet, with £110,000 bet on France and £20,000 on Germany, to win the tournament’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’England fans have gone Rooney-crazy with their bets, and we’re in trouble if he scores a hat trick against the USA’

And England have not been ignored by the high rollers, with two bets of £6500 placed on them at odds of 8/1. But nor have England’s first opponents USA, on whom one punter has staked £5000 at 80/1 to win the tournament.

ENGLAND are 4/9 favourites to get off to a winning start against USA with William Hill who make them 4/9 favourites to win the game for which the USA are 13/2 outsiders with the draw at 16/5.

WAYNE ROONEY is 5/1 to be sent off during the tournament and 25/1 to do so against USA. He is 10/3 to score the opening goal of the game; 10/3 to score the last; 4/5 to score at any stage of the game; 7/2 to score 2 or more; 20/1 to score a hat trick.
‘We have had to create a whole range of Rooney special bets to cope with the demand from punters’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WILLIAM HILL ROONEY SPECIALS…..6/4 TO BE SUBSTITUTED V USA; 2/1 To be yellow carded; 7/2 to score in both halves;4/1 to score with a header; 5/1 to hit the woodwork; 6/1 to score from outside the penalty box; 7/1 to win a penalty.

William Hill are also offering a 14/1 treble for patriotic punters this weekend. For it to come in England need to beat Australia in the Rugby Union, followed by beating USA in the World Cup and finally an English driver winning the GP on Sunday.

Sacre Bleu – Gambler To Lift £1.5m If France Win World Cup

Bobby Moore to skipper England at World Cup again?
SACRE BLEU – GAMBLER TO LIFT £1.5M IF FRANCE WIN WORLD CUP

WITH BOOKMAKERS WILLIAM HILL predicting that the World Cup will become the biggest betting event of all time with over £1billion gambled on the tournament, they have taken the largest single win bet on the tournament so far – £110,000 on France.
‘A southern based William Hill telephone client has staked a bet of £55,000 each-way on France to win the World Cup at odds of 20/1 – and will make a profit of £1,650,000 if they do so – the biggest ever World Cup winnings’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills have also taken their biggest bet so far for an England victory, of £6500 at 8/1 in a Knightsbridge, London betting shop – which would make a profit of £52,000; while other customers have staked £10,000 on Germany at 14/1, and $85,000 on a six-team accumulative bet.

**But Hills are also taking slightly smaller, but perhaps more original bets as well – TWO of their customers have backed children called Bobby Moore to captain England in the future. Proud grandfather John Moore, from Great Yarmouth will win £100,000 if his grandson Bobby, born in November, 2003, captains England after staking £20 at 5000/1.

**And a second Bobby Moore – this one as yet UNBORN! – will win his proud father-to-be, £82,500 if he grows up to play for West Ham and wins the World Cup with England. Daniel Moore, from Stanstead Abbotts, Hertfordshire has staked four £5 bets that his son will play for West Ham (500/1); play for England (1000/1); skipper England (5000/1) and win the World Cup with England (10,000/1). This Bobby Moore is due to be born on July 1, 2010 – and Daniel has staked a further £10 at 10/1 that he is born on a day England are playing at the World Cup.

**ROBERT GROVES OF RUISLIP, NORTH WEST LONDON, HAS PLACED A BET WITH WILLIAM HILL ON A WORLD CUP DREAM HE HAD COMING TRUE. MR GROVES COULD COLLECT £50,000 AFTER HE DREAMED THAT PETER CROUCH WILL SCORE THE ONLY GOAL OF THE WORLD CUP FINAL AGAINST ARGENTINA, WITH A 78TH MINUTE HEADER, AND STAKED £10 AT 5000/1 THAT IT WILL HAPPEN.

**RICHARD ENDICOTT, AN ENGLISHMAN CURRENTLY LIVING AND WORKING IN NEW JERSEY, USA,WILL WIN £1MILLION IF HIS UNBORN SON GROWS UP TO SCORE A GOAL FOR ENGLAND DURING THE 2030 WORLD CUP FINALS AFTER STAKING £100 AT 10,000/1 ABOUT THIS HAPPENING.

Rooney Sparks £1bn Gamble

ROONEY SPARKS £1 BILLION GAMBLE

PATRIOTIC PUNTERS backing England to bring the World Cup home have sparked the biggest gamble of all time, say bookmakers William Hill.
‘Over £1 billion will be gambled on the World Cup, making it bigger than the Grand National, General Election, Wimbledon , or Big Brother’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
And the nightmare scenario for bookies will be an England win – after a huge patriotic punt left betting shops facing mega payouts should England finally break their run of 44 years without a major trophy.
‘Despite Rio’s terrible injury we have been knocked over in the rush to back England to win the tournament at 8/1 today’added Sharpe.’Punters believe Rooney is the key to victory and are backing him to be England’s top scorer at 11/8 and the tournament’s top scorer at 10/1’
WILLIAM HILL make Spain 4/1 favourites to win the World Cup, and also offer 9/2 Brazil; 13/2 Argentina; 8/1 England; 10/1 Holland; 14/1 Germany; 16/1 Italy; 18/1 France.
