GERMANS BACKED TO CAUSE PAIN IN SPAIN

WILLIAM HILL have cut their odds about Germany eliminating Spain after heavy backing for them, including a single bet of 75,000 euros to do so at odds of Even money, which they have now shortened to 10/11.

Hills still make Spain favourites to go through, but have lengthened their odds from 8/11 to 4/5. ‘This is a remarkable semi final line up, with four countries whose respective form-lines across the tournament are almost impossible to compare .Punters have only the evidence of their own eyes to go on and we bookies are almost equally in the dark as to who will emerge as the champions’ said William Hill spokesman Graham Sharpe.
