WILLIAM HILL have slashed their odds for a disappointing turnout at Wembley of between 40,000 and 49,999 fans for England’s friendly against Hungary from 20/1 to 6/4 after taking a flood of bets that the official attendance will be extremely low. Hills have also cut 30,000 – 39,999 from 66/1 to 3/1, and a humiliating 20,000- 29,999 from 100/1 to 16/1. ‘The FA are pulling out all the stops to encourage a decent turnout for this game,but with most clubs wishing it wasn’t happening and fans having shelled out for club season tickets, and following such a dismal World Cup performance, punters have decided a low turnout is a certainty’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Eriksson odds-on for Villa:
SVEN WILL THEY LEARN?

SVEN Goran Erikkson has been backed down to odds-on favourite to become the next Aston Villa boss with William Hill who have slashed his odds from 7/2 to 8/11 after taking a string of bets from punters wishing to bet up to £700 a time on the Swede to be appointed to yet another high profile job.
‘Although it isn’t quite clear just which piece of managerial magic achieved by Sven might encourage Villa to believe he can take them on from the Martin O’Neill era he has been backed as though he’s on the verge of signing a contract’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’Maybe it is his sensational achievements for the Ivory Coast, Mexico and Notts County which might make him irresistible to Villa, who knows, but when punters are willing to bet hundreds at odds on we can’t afford to take chances.’
NEXT VILLA BOSS…..8/11 Sven; 11/4 Bradley; 7 Jol; 8 Klinsmann; Kambert; 10 Curbishley; Southgate.

Tentacled Tipster Gives Bookies More Reason To Cheer

Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

The news that Paul The Octopus has retired is music to the ears of bookmakers William Hill. “The predict-o-pus’s eight winning selections have helped superstitious punters to collect half a million from bookmakers coffers and anyone who bet £10 on each of the outcomes will have scooped £89.95 each, while those who “rolled” their money over onto the next outcome ended up with £1623.34.

“Picking all seven outcomes of Germany’s games, as well as the outcome of the World Cup final is quite some feat,” added Crilly. “We are thankful that Paul has now retired, and will happily give him a few s-quid towards a retirement aquarium to keep him that way. He has emerged as the star of the World Cup, and retiring at his peak will ensure that he goes down in history as a leg-end.”

William Hill Paul Specials:

5/1 To be given tipster column in British national newspaper.
33/1 To Accept a transfer to Spain
50/1 To Be Released Into The Wild
100/1 Squidnapped by distraught German fans .
250/1 Eaten by the German team on return from the World Cup
500/1 King Juan Carlos to confer Spain’s highest honour, the Order of the Golden Fleece, on the Octopus

Octopus Paul’s Punters Squids In !

OCTOPUNTERS SUCKER BOOKIES FOR HALF A MILLION

BOOKMAKERS William Hill estimate that punters gambling on Paul the Psychic Octopus’s World Cup selections have won up to half a million pounds from the betting industry with their wagers.
‘Paul’s incredible Octop-eight winning selections have won any punter who bet £10 on each one of them almost £200 each, while punters far-sighted enough to keep re-investing their winnings on the next selection all the way through will have won at odds in excess of 300/1 – and there are thousands who are squids-in thanks to the psychic cepholopod’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
‘Picking all of Germany’s victories, their two defeats, and Spain’s World Cup final triumph was one of the finest tipping feats ever’ added Sharpe, ‘We can but hope Paul has gone to a rest home for retired octopii by the time the next World Cup gets underway. Fortunately for us, though, there were plenty of punters who ignored Paul’s tips, and they have contributed an excellent profit for us on a record betting turnover for a sporting event of £1 billion’

HOW MANY PLAYERS WILL END UP AS TOP SCORER?

WITH FOUR PLAYERS currently topping the World Cup scorer charts with five goals each – Forlan, Mueller, Sneijder,and Villa, William Hill have opened a book on how many players will end with the greatest number of goals in the tournament……

OCTOPUS PAUL’S MAGNIFICENT SEVEN IS 200/1 HEADACHE FOR BOOKIES

PUNTERS WHO HAVE backed all of Paul the Octopus’s SEVEN successive winners are now just under £100 better off if they have staked £10 on each of his selections, and £2000 better off if they have reinvested their winnings on the next selection every time, say bookmakers William Hill – and if Spain win the Final, as also predicted by Paul, those profits will increase to just over £100 and to £3000 respectively.
‘Even Frankie Dettori only managed seven straight winners in what is recognised as the best ever feat of jockeyship when he rode all seven winners at Ascot in 1996 – Paul could put that winning streak to shame’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘If Spain win tomorrow we can only hope he never predivts another result until at least 2014 when the next World Cup takes place’

PAUL THE OCTOPUS PUNTERS ARE £1400 AHEAD OF BOOKIES

PUNTERS following the World Cup tips from Paul the Octopus have won up to £1400 by doing so, say bookmakers William Hill, who have taken so many bets on the sea creature tipping the World Cup winner that they have cut their odds for him to do it from Even money to 10/11.
‘If you had just bet £10 on each of Paul’s six successive winning selections on Germany or their opponents so far, you would have made a healthy profit of £84 – but if you had put the winnings from each bet all on to the next one, you would now be looking at £1400 of profit!’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
‘Punters are superstitious creatures at the best of times – and many have favourite tipsters they like to follow, but they tend to be human, so this is the first time we’ve genuinely had punters coming into betting shops and asking staff about the predictions made by an octopus.’

William Hill offer:
100/1 To become part of Fabio Capello’s staff .
100/1 Eaten by the German team on return from the World Cup .
1000 King Juan Carlos to confer Spain’s highest honour, the Order of the Golden Fleece, on the Octopus .

Bookies celebrate best winning World Cup game ever as:
PUNTER LOSES BIGGEST WORLD CUP BET OF ALL

A WILLIAM HILL telephone betting customer who staked a record 500,000 euros on Germany to beat Spain has lost his wager – the largest World Cup bet ever. ‘Not only did the 500,000 euro bet lose, but so did the 100,000 and 80,000 euro bets on Germany to win the tournament, and another 75,000 euro wager on them to get past Spain’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘Even though we have clients with £25,000 and £10,000 on Spain to win the World Cup we will be going into the Final celebrating the fact that Germany aren’t there. Germany losing that game made a difference of around £5million to us – it was almost certainly our best World Cup result ever. Now we’d like the Dutch to round off a fantastic tournament for us by beating Spain’ .

EVENS PAUL THE OCTOPUS TO PICK WORLD CUP WINNERS!

AND WILLIAM HILL ARE NOW OFFERING ODDS OF EVEN MONEY THAT PAUL THE OCTOPUS WILL TIP THE WINNERS OF THE WORLD CUP AFTER HIS LATEST TRIUMPH IN SELECTING SPAIN TO BEAT GERMANY. ‘Punters are keen to keep on the right side of Paul’s tips, so we are giving them the chance to bet that he’ll pick the winner BEFORE they even know which side he has opted for’ said William Hill spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WILLIAM HILL now make Spain 8/15 favourites to win the World Cup, with Holland offered at 6/4.
Hills make Spain Evens to win in 90m with Holland 12/5 and the draw 2/1.
DAVID VILLA is 8/11 to end up as World Cup top scorer with Hills who also offer 5/2 Sneijder; 4 Klose; 14 Muller; 16 Forlan.

You Bet: Ashley Cole Is The Most Hated Man In Britain

Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Bookies William Hill have been inundated with requests from punters looking to place novelty bets on England’s fallen idols. Perhaps the biggest figure of fun is Ashley Cole who is quoted as 1/3 to be the most hated man in Britain. Blundering keeper Rob Green does not escape the jibes with Hills quoting him as 1000/1 to be the spokesman for BP’s spill, given his previous form.

“First he laughs at £55,000 a week, then he cheats on a national treasure and now he texts that he hates England and English people. There can be little doubt that Ashley Cole is trying his best to scoop the award of most hated man in the country and the sooner he emigrates the better!” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Lancashire Man’s £150,000 South American World Cup Double Gamble

LANCASHIRE MAN’S £150,000 SOUTH AMERICAN WORLD CUP DOUBLE GAMBLE
A William Hill client, from Lytham St Annes in Lancashire is delighted that both Brazil and Argentina have reached the Quarter Finals of the World Cup – giving him two chances of landing a £150,000 gamble.
The anonymous gambler, who placed his bet via a letter to the bookie, 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.
‘There is little doubt that our client is convinced that Brazil are certainities to win the World Cup when it is held in their country in 2014, and believes that either they or Argentina can set up a huge payout by winning in South Africa – he is obviously a most patient punter, too!’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
The World Cup is set to break all betting records by becoming the first event ever to produce a betting turnover in excess of £1billion. ‘England’s defeat means that patriotic punters now have to switch their allegiance to another country – and the easiest way to do that is by betting on them.’ added Sharpe.
