Green Blunder Costliest Ever As Punters ‘ Robbed ‘ Of £10m +
Was this costliest soccer howler ever?
GREEN’S BLUNDER ROBS PUNTERS OF £10MILLION+
BOOKMAKERS William Hill say Rob Green’s disastrous error was the costliest mistake ever for Britain’s punters: ‘The difference between Green making the save, and letting the ball in made a difference of over £10million to how much bookies had to pay out to punters who backed England to win the game – in eight World Cups I can never remember a costlier blunder for backers – and that includes the Maradona hand of God goal – which only stopped England drawing, rather than winning’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. ‘Several punters had bet £10,000 on England to win and hundreds of thousands of supporters had more modest bets on the outcome of the game and the correct score.’
ROB GREEN IS EVEN MONEY FAVOURITE WITH WILLIAM HILL TO START THE GAME V ALGERIA, WITH DAVID JAMES AND JOE HART EACH OFFERED AT 9/4.
ENGLAND ARE 8/1 TO WIN THE WORLD CUP WITH WILLIAM HILL.
MARTIN JOHNSON, ENGLAND RUGBY UNION BOSS, IS 4/6 FAVOURITE TO LEAVE HIS JOB BEFORE FABIO CAPELLO DOES LIKEWISE – HILLS OFFER 11/10 VICED VERSA. ‘BOTH ENGLAND BOSSES ARE UNDER PRESSURE BUT JOHNSON CURRENTLY LOOKS MORE VULNERABLE’ SAID HILL’S SPOKESMAN GRAHAM SHARPE.
