Last Gasp Goal Is £18,000 Happy New Year Winner

Ian Stern, a 37 year old from Leeds, is celebrating a New Year’s Day to remember after winning over £18,000 on a William Hill football coupon for a stake of just £3.28. And a goal scored in the dying seconds of a match by York player Jamal Fyfield was worth £17,000 of his winnings!

Ian predicted a New Year ‘goalfest’ in the Blue Square Premier – and was vindicated when he selected eight games that produced four or more goals and included them in eight 41p seven-match accumulator bets.

Despite his fantastic win, Ian claims to be more of a tennis fan, but if he is betting on football it is always on goals galore being scored.

“I always go for number of goals, rather than win accumulators because the bet runs from the first until the last minute,” said Ian. “And to have a win like this just after Christmas is a real bonus.”

Jamal Fyfield’s goal in the 91st minute of York’s 2-2 with Mansfield was the difference between Ian winning £1070.33 and his ultimate win of £18,165.90.

“Jamal Fyfield’s last gasp equaliser was fantastic for York’s fans, but even more so for Ian who claims that he does not support a particular team,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “My guess would be that his loyalties now rest with York.”

Hills Hammered By Goal Fest Prem

Every Premier League side playing scored this weekend, the second time that it has happened this season and cost William Hill over £1 million. A quarter of all football coupon bets every weekend are placed on Both Teams To Score coupon, which is still in its relative infancy, having only been introduced at the start of the 2009/10 season. Earlier this year, Hills were hit for another seven figure sum when every Premier League team scored.

“At the start of this season, the Both Teams To Score coupon accounted for around 10% of our football coupon turnover, since then, however, it has grown to around 25% of revenue,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly, “helped, no doubt, by the fact that the bet runs for the full 90 minutes of the match if you back both sides to score.”

This Weekend’s Both Teams To Score:
Blackburn / Manchester United: 8/11 Yes; 1/1 No
Sunderland / Wolves: 10/11 Yes; 10/11 No
West Brom / Everton: 4/6 Yes; 11/10 No
Blackpool / Bolton: 1/2 Yes; 6/4 No
Chelsea / Newcastle: 1/1 Yes; 8/11 No
Arsenal / Aston Villa: 10/11 Yes; 10/11 No
Liverpool / Tottenham: 8/11 Yes; 1/1 No
Birmingham / Fulham: 1/1 Yes; 8/11 No
Wigan / West Ham: 13/20 Yes; 23/20 No
Manchester City / Stoke: 1/1 Yes; 8/11 No

Zola Cut To Be Next Chelsea Manager!

Gianfranco Zola has been cut from 25/1 to 16/1 with Hills to become Chelsea’s next permanent manager following the news that he is being lined up as a coach by the Stamford Bridge outfit. Carlo Ancelotti is now 8/13 to have been relieved of his duties at Chelsea and Guus Hiddink is 5/2 favourite to take over with Jose Mourinho the 11/4 second favourite.

“A few years back, Gianfranco Zola was voted Chelsea’s best ever player, it now seems as if he could follow that up by becoming manager,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Next Permanent Chelsea Manager: 5/2 Guus Hiddink; 11/4 Jose Mourinho; 5/1 Pep Guardiola; 8/1 Andre Villas Boas; 10/1 Didier Deschamps; 12/1 Martin O’Neill; 14/1 Frank Rijkaard; 14/1 Jurgen Klinsmann; 14/1 Marco van Basten; 16/1 David Moyes; 16/1 Gianfranco Zola; 16/1 Harry Redknapp; 16/1 Rafael Benitez; 20/1 BAR
