Wigan Man Lands The impossible Treble!

You would have thought that an Everton fan based in Wigan would be used to supporting the underdogs and his penchant for the plucky outsiders has earned him a share of William Hills longest odds football treble. The man, in his mid 40s, who wishes to remain anonymous placed £5.00 on Blackburn beating Manchester United, Aston Villa beating Chelsea and when Ji Dong-Won scored the 93rd minute winner for Sunderland against Manchester City landing a 1517/1 hat-trick of results worth £7590.

To find three of the least predictable of the season and put them in a virtually impossible treble leaves us very relieved he was only prepared to risk a fiver on the outcome, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly. The Blackburn game saw the biggest winning Premier League odds we have ever offered, 22/1 for them to win at Old Trafford and by adding Sunderland and Villa to the mix, the lucky punter beat odds of 1517/1. It is a little surprising he didnt add Everton to win at West Brom, which would have boosted his winnings to nearly £20,000.

The winning selections:

£5 stake scooped £7590

Blackburn to beat Manchester United: 22/1
Aston Villa to beat Chelsea: 10/1
Sunderland to beat Manchester City: 5/1

City 6/4 To Be Flying High With Etihad…or Will They Need The Wonga???

March 22, 2011 Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments Aon, Budweiser, Etihad, Favourites, Front Runners, Hats, Joe Crilly, Manchester City, Money Bags, Orange, Payday Loan, Penchant, Red Bull, Roberto Mancini, Scarves, Shirt Sponsors, Spokesman, Tourism Board, Uae Tourism, William Hill

Manchester City have been given permission to rename their stadium and William Hill think that current shirt sponsors Etihad are the front runners, offering 6/4 that they win the rights to rename Eastlands. The UAE Tourism Board, UAE Interact, are the 4/1 second favourites with Umbro the 10/1 third favourites.

Given Roberto Mancinis penchant for scarves and hats, Hills are offering 25/1 that Armani buy the rights and 33/1 Versace do. 100/1 is offered for money-bags City to play in the Wonga Stadium next season!

Etihad are the clear favourites but should Manchester City ever need a payday loan, maybe renaming Eastlands the Wonga Stadium, could help them out, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Who Will Win Rights For Manchester City New Stadium Name:

6/4 Etihad; 4/1 UAE Interact; 10/1 Umbro; 16/1 Vodaphone; 16/1 O2; 16/1 AON; 20/1 Red Bull; 20/1 Benetton; 20/1 Orange; 25/1 Armani; 33/1 Budweiser; 33/1 Versace; 66/1 William Hill; 100/1 Go Compare; 100/1 Wonga
