Octopus Paul’s Punters Squids In !
OCTOPUNTERS SUCKER BOOKIES FOR HALF A MILLION
BOOKMAKERS William Hill estimate that punters gambling on Paul the Psychic Octopus’s World Cup selections have won up to half a million pounds from the betting industry with their wagers.
‘Paul’s incredible Octop-eight winning selections have won any punter who bet £10 on each one of them almost £200 each, while punters far-sighted enough to keep re-investing their winnings on the next selection all the way through will have won at odds in excess of 300/1 – and there are thousands who are squids-in thanks to the psychic cepholopod’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
‘Picking all of Germany’s victories, their two defeats, and Spain’s World Cup final triumph was one of the finest tipping feats ever’ added Sharpe, ‘We can but hope Paul has gone to a rest home for retired octopii by the time the next World Cup gets underway. Fortunately for us, though, there were plenty of punters who ignored Paul’s tips, and they have contributed an excellent profit for us on a record betting turnover for a sporting event of £1 billion’

A William Hill client, from Lytham St Annes in Lancashire is delighted that both Brazil and Argentina have reached the Quarter Finals of the World Cup – giving him two chances of landing a £150,000 gamble.
The anonymous gambler, who placed his bet via a letter to the bookie, 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.
‘There is little doubt that our client is convinced that Brazil are certainities to win the World Cup when it is held in their country in 2014, and believes that either they or Argentina can set up a huge payout by winning in South Africa – he is obviously a most patient punter, too!’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
The World Cup is set to break all betting records by becoming the first event ever to produce a betting turnover in excess of £1billion. ‘England’s defeat means that patriotic punters now have to switch their allegiance to another country – and the easiest way to do that is by betting on them.’ added Sharpe.

RECORD £1 BILLION MEGA WORLD CUP GAMBLE
THE 2010 WORLD CUP WILL BE THE FIRST SPORTING EVENT TO PRODUCE A BETTING TURNOVER OF OVER £1 BILLION, PREDICT BOOKMAKERS WILLIAM HILL. ‘The last World Cup came close to producing a £1 billion turnover, but we have no doubt that the 2010 tournament will smash through the barrier and go well beyond. The excitement and interest surrounding the tournament is at an all time high – and it looks the most open World Cup for many years, which will enhance the betting interest’ said William Hill spokesman Graham Sharpe.
‘We are desperate for England to do well – but not quite well enough to win as that would cost us millions’ said Sharpe, ‘Our ideal scenario is for England to reach the Final but lose on a penalty shoot-out. That is a 90/1 chance. But even if England do win – well, we’ve had forty three years since 1966 to save up!’

WITH ARGENTINA, FRANCE AND PORTUGAL all struggling to qualify for the World Cup Finals, William Hill have opened a book on each of them doing so – and make Argentina most likely at 1/5 (10/3 not to), with France 2/7 to get to South Africa, 5/2 not to; while Portugal are 5/6 to make it, 5/6 not to.’The World Cup will be a poorer tournament for the loss of any or all of these sides – and betting turnover will certainly be heavier if they all make it – but if they don’t produce the goods in qualification they clearly don’t deserve to be there’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills offer 15/8 that ALL of them will get through – and 28/1that NONE of them will do so.
