5/1 Football Punter To Hit William Hill For £2m This Season
5/1 Hills to pay out £2m on single bet this season:
‘WIN £2m WITH WILLIAM HILL’ : BOOKIES WELCOME NEW SEASON WITH RECORD PAYOUT OFFER
SINCE THE DECLINE of the football pools’ jackpots, it has not been possible to win more than £1million by betting on football matches – until now, as bookmakers William Hill have announced that they are raising their payout limit to £2million – the highest of any bookmaker – from the start of the new Premiership season.
‘Football betting has never been more popular and we feel the time is right to offer punters the opportunity of winning a life-changing amount of money by pitting their knowledge of the game against that of our odds compilers. So we have doubled our current £1 maximum winnings from this week. This concession is expected to encourage punters to include more matches in their accumulators in order to ratchet up their potential winnings, and it can only be a matter of time until someone becomes British bookmaking’s first ever double millionaire.’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills have even opened a book on when they will pay out on their first £2million winning football bet, offering 5/1 during the current season; 10/1 during the World Cup Finals 2010; 4/1 next season; 8/13 in 2011/12 or later.
