Rooney Sparks £1bn Gamble

ROONEY SPARKS £1 BILLION GAMBLE

PATRIOTIC PUNTERS backing England to bring the World Cup home have sparked the biggest gamble of all time, say bookmakers William Hill.
‘Over £1 billion will be gambled on the World Cup, making it bigger than the Grand National, General Election, Wimbledon , or Big Brother’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
And the nightmare scenario for bookies will be an England win – after a huge patriotic punt left betting shops facing mega payouts should England finally break their run of 44 years without a major trophy.
‘Despite Rio’s terrible injury we have been knocked over in the rush to back England to win the tournament at 8/1 today’added Sharpe.’Punters believe Rooney is the key to victory and are backing him to be England’s top scorer at 11/8 and the tournament’s top scorer at 10/1’
WILLIAM HILL make Spain 4/1 favourites to win the World Cup, and also offer 9/2 Brazil; 13/2 Argentina; 8/1 England; 10/1 Holland; 14/1 Germany; 16/1 Italy; 18/1 France.

8/1 England Won’t Win World Cup – William Hill

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

‘WE DON’T THINK 8/1 ENGLAND WILL WIN WORLD CUP’ SAY BOOKIES

BOOKMAKERS William Hill have pushed England out to the longest odds they have been since qualifying for the World Cup and quote them at 8/1 to bring home the trophy. ‘We’re not saying England CAN’T win the World Cup, but we’re pretty sure they won’t, so are looking to take as much money for them as possible at the industry leading price of 8/1’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
‘The regular patriotic punt on England at Euros and World Cups always gives us mega-liabilities – but it has been 44 years now since they landed one of these gambles so we are prepared to stick to our 8/1 offer- after all,we’ve had nearly half a century to save up in case they do finally manage to win again!’
Hills expect a record £1 billion+ to be gambled on the World Cup.

LATEST WILLIAM HILL WORLD CUP ODDS….4/1 Spain; 9/2 Brazil; 13/2 Argentina; 8/1 England; 10/1 Holland; 14/1 Germany; 16/1 Italy; 18/1 France; 25/1 Portugal; 40/1 Ivory Coast.

Punters Go Nuts For Brazil

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

YOU BET PUNTERS ARE NUTS FOR BRAZIL

SPAIN are no longer clear favourites for the World Cup with William Hill for the first time since they won the Euro 2008 tournament after Hills reported support for Brazil and cut their odds from 9/2 to 4/1 to become joint favourites with Spain.
One William Hill client, from Lytham St Annes in Lancashire, 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.’The punter is clearly convinced that Brazil will win in 2014 and happy to wait until then to collect his six figure winnings’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills have also shortened Argentina from 7/1 to 13/2 after taking another five figure bet for them, and eased England out to 13/2 from 6/1.
A William Hill customer staked 10,000 euros on Germany at 14/1 as big bets began to be placed on the World Cup, which will become the biggest betting event ever with over £1billion gambled on its outcome. ‘There is no doubt that as the tournament gets nearer to kick off there will be hefty bets placed on all of the leading contenders’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WILLIAM HILL LATEST WORLD CUP ODDS….4/1 Brazil; Spain; 13/2 Argentina; England; 9/1 Holland; 14/1 Germany; 16/1 Italy; 18/1 France.
