Was this costliest soccer howler ever?
GREEN’S BLUNDER ROBS PUNTERS OF £10MILLION+

BOOKMAKERS William Hill say Rob Green’s disastrous error was the costliest mistake ever for Britain’s punters: ‘The difference between Green making the save, and letting the ball in made a difference of over £10million to how much bookies had to pay out to punters who backed England to win the game – in eight World Cups I can never remember a costlier blunder for backers – and that includes the Maradona hand of God goal – which only stopped England drawing, rather than winning’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. ‘Several punters had bet £10,000 on England to win and hundreds of thousands of supporters had more modest bets on the outcome of the game and the correct score.’

ROB GREEN IS EVEN MONEY FAVOURITE WITH WILLIAM HILL TO START THE GAME V ALGERIA, WITH DAVID JAMES AND JOE HART EACH OFFERED AT 9/4.

ENGLAND ARE 8/1 TO WIN THE WORLD CUP WITH WILLIAM HILL.

MARTIN JOHNSON, ENGLAND RUGBY UNION BOSS, IS 4/6 FAVOURITE TO LEAVE HIS JOB BEFORE FABIO CAPELLO DOES LIKEWISE – HILLS OFFER 11/10 VICED VERSA. ‘BOTH ENGLAND BOSSES ARE UNDER PRESSURE BUT JOHNSON CURRENTLY LOOKS MORE VULNERABLE’ SAID HILL’S SPOKESMAN GRAHAM SHARPE.

WILLIAM HILL OFFER 50/1 THAT THE VUVUZUELA WILL BE OFFICIALLY BANNED FROM STADIUMS BEFORE THE END OF THE WORLD CUP.

WILLIAM HILL HAND BACK CASH ON IRISH WORLD CUP QUALIFICATION BETS

BOOKMAKERS WILLIAM HILL are refunding stake money to all punters who backed Republic of Ireland to qualify for the final stages of the World Cup following the controversy over the Thierry Henry goal which knocked them out. Hills will also be paying out on bets for the French to go through.
‘Leaving aside any moral scruples and the fact that noone knows what would have happened if the goal had been disallowed, William Hill feel that they are being as fair as possible to everyone by returning stake money to those who bet on the Irish going through’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’It will cost us a significant five figure sum’.
IRISH 100/1 TO GET WORLD CUP REPLAY

WILLIAM HILL offer 100/1 that FIFA will order the Republic v France World Cup game to be replayed. ‘There are two chances that this will happen – slim and none’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

**William Hill were the first bookmakers ever to make a gesture of this nature when, in 1986, they ‘disallowed’ Maradona’s ‘Hand of God’ goal for Argentina against England and refunded stakes to punters.
REPUBLIC ARE 5/4 WITH WILLIAM HILL TO QUALIFY FOR EURO ’12; AND 2/1 TO QUALIFY FOR WORLD CUP 2014.
