Bookies Burned By Hottest Ever October!

The hottest ever October record temperature was broken on the first day of the month and bookmakers William Hill have been stung by an Indian Summer betting bonanza by meteorological punters. The odds of this month seeing the all time record of 29.4C (1985) had been backed in, all the way from 6/4 to 8/11 by the time that betting ceased at midnight on the 30th September.

The previous record was officially confirmed as having been smashed just after one oclock and Hills forked out a five figure sum to eager punters – no doubt on their way to buy burgers and bangers for a final Barbie of the year, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly. We must have been the only people in the country praying for wind and rain.

ROONEY 7/4 TO TOP SCORE FOR ENGLAND IN EURO 2012 FINALS AND 9/2 TO BEAT BOBBYS ALL TIME SCORING RECORD

WILLIAM HILL have opened a book on who will top score in the EURO 2012 Finals for England assuming they make it through. And despite failing to find the net against Wales, Wayne Rooney has been installed as 7/4 favourite. Wayne is the most regularly played striker I the squad and deserves his place at the head of the market but granted a regular starting place in the side Andy Carroll and/or Darren Bent could well run him close said Hills spokesman Graham Sharpe.
HILLS OFFER 9/2 THAT ROONEY, WHO CURRENTLY BOASTS 28 ENGLAND GOALS, WILL EVENTUALLY OVERTAKE BOBBY CHARLTONS ALL TIME RECORD TOTAL OF 49 FOR HIS COUNTRY. As Gary Lineker and Michael Owen both discovered, Bobby Charltons record is a daunting target which many have aimed at but none has yet managed to better added Sharpe.
Hills offer 1/8 that Rooney will not reach the target.

HILLS MAKE BECKHAM 13/8 TO START ONE OR MORE WORLD CUP GAMES, 4/9 NOT TO.

ENGLAND are 5/2 to win all of their World Cup qualifying matches with William Hill who make them 8/1 to win the tournament – and 5/4 to go to the Finals WITHOUT David Beckham.
‘With England making it to the Finals with two games to spare we’re already predicting that a record BILLION pounds-plus will be gambled on the tournament – and fearing a mega millions payout if England go all the way and win the tournament’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘Mind you, we’ll have had 44 years to save up the money we’ll have to pay out!’

DAVID BECKHAM is 7/2 to beat Peter Shilton’s all time record number of caps with William Hill who make him 4/7 to make the World Cup finals squad, 5/4 not to. ‘Capello seems to be happy to keep Beckham around the place at the moment’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
WILLIAM HILL have opened a book on which club David Beckham will next sign for, on loan or permanently, and make AC Milan the 5/2 favourites, with Notts County 50/1 outsiders. ‘Chelsea may well have been favourites but for their current transfer ban, and if they win their appeal we wouldn’t be that surprised to see Beckham ending up there’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
