Punters Go Nuts For Brazil
YOU BET PUNTERS ARE NUTS FOR BRAZIL
SPAIN are no longer clear favourites for the World Cup with William Hill for the first time since they won the Euro 2008 tournament after Hills reported support for Brazil and cut their odds from 9/2 to 4/1 to become joint favourites with Spain.
One William Hill client, from Lytham St Annes in Lancashire, has staked an £8824 double on Brazil winning the World Cup this year AND in 2014 – at odds of 16/1, which will win him £150,008 if it comes off. The same punter has also staked a £5173 double on Argentina to win this year – going on to Brazil to win in 2014 at odds of 28/1, also set to produce a return of £150,017.’The punter is clearly convinced that Brazil will win in 2014 and happy to wait until then to collect his six figure winnings’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills have also shortened Argentina from 7/1 to 13/2 after taking another five figure bet for them, and eased England out to 13/2 from 6/1.
A William Hill customer staked 10,000 euros on Germany at 14/1 as big bets began to be placed on the World Cup, which will become the biggest betting event ever with over £1billion gambled on its outcome. ‘There is no doubt that as the tournament gets nearer to kick off there will be hefty bets placed on all of the leading contenders’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
WILLIAM HILL LATEST WORLD CUP ODDS….4/1 Brazil; Spain; 13/2 Argentina; England; 9/1 Holland; 14/1 Germany; 16/1 Italy; 18/1 France.
