Stake

A mystery punter from Eastern Europe has won over £50,000 on a World Cup winning streak at William Hill in Tiverton. This makes him Hill’s biggest ever football winner in Devon. Having staked £3770 on Michael Dawson to score first in England’s dour 0-0 draw with Algeria at 25/1, the mystery man claimed back his stake due to Dawson not playing. He promptly placed the whole £3770 on Wesley Sneijder to score first for Holland against Japan at 6/1 and Paraguay to beat Slovakia at 10/11 – both at the weekend. This won the man £50,380.91. He then proceeded to reinvest £11,000 of this on England to win against Slovenia winning him a further £4,440 taking his winning streak to well over £50,000. We believe the man, who wishes to remain anonymous, was holidaying in Devon, as he made arrangements to pick up the bet in London.

“Unlike a lot of our punters, this mystery man certainly had the confidence to back England. It will be interesting to see how long his streak continues and we will be keeping a close eye on the situation over the coming weeks,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.
