Following Englands stunning victory over Sweden on Friday night William Hill are sweating. This is due to the fact that British bookmakers could be forking out over £10m should the Three Lions go on and win the trophy.

Despite the turmoil that faced the England team just months before the tournament was to begin, patriotic punters have gone mad for England and they are by far the worst result for us at this moment in time, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly. The two opening performances of the tournament have more than justified our punters support as well.

During the game 34,504 bets were staked with Hills, equating to 383 bets per minute and 6 bets per second on the outcome of the game. England were still relatively well fancied when they were 2-1 down and punters were piling into them at 2/1.

Now For England Mega Gamble !

NOW BOOKIES FEAR £50M WORLD CUP MEGA GAMBLE ON ENGLAND

DESPITE facing a payout of up to £50million if England now go on to win the World Cup, bookies have welcomed their victory over Slovenia.
‘If England had failed to qualify, Britain’s bookies would have won £30million – as it is we now face a payout of up to £50million if they ultimately go all the way and win the tournament. We’ve slashed their odds from 10/1 to 7/1’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’In an ideal world we’d like England to reach the World Cup Final and lose in a penalty shoot-out, perhaps to New Zealand – but if they do win it, well, at least we’ve had 44 years to save up since their last success!
‘There was a huge gamble on England winning the game which forced us to shorten their odds pre-match as we took five figure bets galore for them – and now patriotic punters are pouring their cash on England to win the tournament – we’ve already seen two bets of £6500 amongst the plethora of five figure wagers, and expect to take tens of thousands more bets for England in the euphoria of their qualification.
‘The current worst day in bookmaking history came in September 1996 when Frankie Dettori cost the bookies over £30m – an England World Cup victory is likely to dwarf even that’ added Sharpe.
