Chester Train Shop Punter Choo Choo Chooses 15 Winners And Bags Over £20k

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

A man in his mid forties has scooped a massive payout after he breezed into the William Hill shop at Chester train station and placed a £3, 15 team football accumulator. The man, who spoke with a Southern accent, told the girl working behind the counter that he was off on holiday on Easter Sunday with some of his winnings leaving it unknown as to whether he lived in Chester or just visiting the city for the day.

From his £3 stake, the lucky punter bagged himself £20,343.96, beating odds of over 6780/1 to land his massive payout.

“It is hard enough to pick one winner so for him to get 15 is absolutely incredible,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “When he collected his winnings on Saturday evening, he told the assistant that he had decided that he was going to go on holiday for a week and mull over what else he was going to spend his winnings on.”

The games that were played over Good Friday and the following Saturday included Celtic who won the SPL title by defeating Kilmarnock 6-0, Chelsea who defeated Wigan with two contentious goals and virtually the last kick of the game and Reading, who moved top of the Championship by beating 10 man Leeds with two goals in the last six minutes of the match.

The shop in the train station has been open for two years and is the first betting shop in Chester that punters get to when they arrive for the yearly race meetings that start in May.

How Long Will Crawley’s Cup Run Continue?

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

Only two matches went to replays of Saturday’s FA Cup ties and William Hill make Southampton the 4/11 favourites to qualify from their tie against Millwall, while Hills cannot split Sheffield Wednesday and Blackpool, offering 5/6 about the pair qualifying.

The biggest result, however, was Crawley’s 1-0 victory away to Hull and Hills are offering odds on when the Red Devils get knocked out of the competition offering 2/9 that they do so in the fifth round. They are 300/1 to go all the way and win the trophy and 125/1 to finish as runners up.

“Crawley are repeating the feats that took them so far last season and while they have captured the imagination of the FA Cup this year, we think they may well come a cropper in the next round,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.
Crawley FA Cup stage of elimination
5th round 2/9

Runners up 125/1

Anton Backed To Snub Terry On Saturday…

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

BOOKIES FACE BEING SHOOK UP BY HANDSHAKE SHENANIGANS

William Hill have seen a plunge on the odds of Anton Ferdinand snubbing John Terry during the pre match handshakes with the ‘no’ odds backed in from 11/10 to 8/11. “We have seen a number of three figure bets, the majority of which have come from the East End of London and if Mr Ferdinand fails to shake Terry’s hand, we could be all shook up,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Will Anton Ferdinand shake John Terry’s Hand: 8/11 no; 1/1 yes

WILL BELLAMY GIVE BOYHOOD TEAM THE BLUES AT WEMBLEY?

Craig Bellamy has claimed that it will be emotional playing for Liverpool against his boyhood side Cardiff City and William Hill are offering 4/9 that he starts the match at Wembley next month (13/8 he does not). He is 5/4 to bag a goal in the final and 20/1 to see red.

MEGSON COULD GET TROTTERS REVENGE SOONER RATHER THAN LATER!

Gary Megson has reignited his war of words with Bolton Wanderers and William Hill think that he could well get the chance to face up against his former employers sooner rather than later, offering 3/1 that the two teams play each other in the Championship next season. Bolton are 5/6 to be relegated, while Sheffield Wednesday are 11/10 to gain promotion from League 1.

Should the teams face each other next season, Hills are offering 40/1 that Megson receives a red card and is sent to the stands.

“There will be no love lost between Megson and the Bolton fans and he will be sure to be on the receiving end of a bit of stick which could see him lose his rag and be banished to the stands,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Lucky Weekend For William Hill Football Punters

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

There will have been one very nervous William Hill punter watching as Newcastle defeated Stoke on Monday evening and landed a £25,000 accumulator. The 44 year old from Margate was hoping for a Newcastle win at 5/2 in order to bring home a 12 team accumulator staked on William Hill online. All of the other selections came in on Saturday and included Manchester City, Liverpool, Manchester United and Rangers.

“This punter, who only ever bets between one and ten pounds each weekend on the football will have had his nerves calmed as Demba Ba smashed home a hat-trick to land £24,953.77 from just a five pound stake,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

It seems that the football luck was contagious this weekend as two other punters landed big money accumulators from relatively small stakes. One shop punter from the Romford area bagged £20,592.23 from a £3 accumulator while a shop punter from central Glasgow landed a seven team, £5 accumulator that paid out £11,535.33.

“We have had three winners this weekend winning life changing sums of money,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

The three winning accumulators:

Margate (£5 won £24,953.77) Romford (£3 won £20,592.23) Glasgow (£5 won £11,535.33)
Odds: 4340/1 Odds: 6864/1 Odds: 2306/1

6/5 Macclesfield 4/11 Rangers 8/5 Fulham
6/5 MK Dons 1/6 Manchester City 4/1 Arsenal
5/6 Manchester Utd 10/11 Southend 6/5 Derby
11/10 Liverpool 7/5 Burton 3/1 Kilmarnock
19/20 Oxford 6/5 Sheffield Wednesday 4/1 Draw (Celtic/Hibernian)
2/11 Manchester City 6/5 MK Dons 5/6 Manchester United
5/2 Newcastle 11/5 Draw (Doncaster/Coventry) 6/5 Millwall
4/7 Rangers 11/5 Draw (Birmingham/Brighton)
11/10 Charlton 2/1 Bristol City
1/1 Aldershot 1/1 Liverpool
6/4 Motherwell 5/6 Manchester United
3/4 Huddersfield 8/11 Falkirk

Nothing Fishy About Grimsby Punter’s £100k Win

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

A Grimsby based Manchester United fan was celebrating this weekend – and not just because his side managed to maintain their 100% record in the Premier League but because he won over £100,000 from an £8 bet with William Hill. The mystery man, who wishes to remain anonymous, selected 12 sides to win on his football accumulator and all duly obliged. The 37 year old punter who regularly has an accumulator at the weekend, had never hit the jackpot until Saturday and scooped £101,647.97 when Leeds, Crawley, Hearts, Tranmere, Hull, Peterborough, Sheffield Wednesday, Morecambe, Shrewsbury, Macclesfield, Gillingham and Sheffield Utd all won.

“It is incredibly difficult to pick even one winner, so to have 12 sides all come in is quite a feat and one that was priced at over 12,700/1,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “With a haul of over £100,000, he could spend the rest of the season following United home and away.”

Winning bet:

£8 12 fold

7/10 Leeds
4/6 Crawley
3/4 Hearts
21/20 Tranmere
5/4 Hull
11/10 Peterborough
6/4 Sheffield Wednesday
9/4 Morecambe
17/10 Shrewsbury
8/5 Macclesfield
6/5 Gillingham
5/6 Sheffield United

YOU BET THERE WILL BE AN FA CUP SHOCK…BUT WHICH WILL BE BIGGEST?

William Hill have opened a book on what will be the biggest shock result from this weekend’s FA Cup games, selecting SEVEN matches which potentially could produce upset outcomes and asking punters to bet on which will be the biggest surprise result amongst them – or whether all seven fancied teams will progress.
‘The enduring appeal of the FA Cup is the anticipation of upsets, so we have selected seven potential turn-ups and are inviting punters to be on which will produce the biggest ‘FA Cupset’ or, indeed, that there will be none at all’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
