Deutsche To Bank Gutsy Punter Over £100,000 Euro Bonus

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

A German national strolled into a William Hill shop in central London on Tuesday afternoon and placed £41,000 on his home country winning this year’s Euros at 13/8. It is believed that he was on a business trip in London and he said that this was his first ever wager– which if it cops will scoop the gutsy chap a staggering £107,625. The price has been shortened from 13/8 to 6/4 and makes Germany the stand alone favourites ahead of Spain at 7/4 and Italy and Portugal both 11/2.

“It is believed that the German gent was on a business trip in London and to our knowledge, he has never placed a bet before in his life,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “Amazingly his is the biggest single wager that we have taken over the course of this year’s Euros.’

PUNTERS AND BOOKIES ALL SHOOK UP BY BY NO HANDSHAKE DECISION

William Hill have voided all bets in their market on whether Anton Ferdinand and John Terry would or would not shake hands in the pre-match handshake before the QPR-Chelsea game. ‘As the official pre-match handshake was cancelled, all bets have been voided as there was no opportunity for the subject of the wager to take place’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills opened the market at 4/6 that they would shake; 11/10 they would not. It closed at 2/1 they would, 4/11 they would not.

You Bet Someone Loves Jose

Real big bet on Madrid………
YOU BET SOMEONE LOVES JOSE

A William Hill online client has staked £20,000 on Real Madrid over-turning Barcelona’s two goal lead from the first leg of their Champions League semi final and knocking them out. The client took odds of 16/1 which would give him a profit of £320,000 if the bet is successful. Hills have now cut Real’s odds of going through from 16/1 to 14/1 but make Barcelona red hot favourites to reach the final at odds of 1/50. ‘This is a bold wager, which may look an inspired gamble if Jose can live up to his ‘Special One’ nickname and somehow plot the downfall of bitter rivals Barca’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

FOLLOWING the controversial scenes at the first leg of the Bareclona- Real Madrid Champions League semi, William Hill are betting on how many players Real will end up with on the pitch and offer 2/5 all eleven; 9/4 just ten; 5/1 nine or fewer.

William Hill make Jose Mourinho odds-on still to be Real Madrid boss on the first day of next season, despite his outspoken remarks after the defeat to Barcelona. ‘Most Real – and probably Chelsea and Inter – fans will empathise with Mourinho’s comments, controversial though they are. He is shrewd enough to know that, and as well as removing responsibility for defeat from himself he is also keeping the fans onside for a further stint with Real, in case those same comments may not have gone down well with potential future employers’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Greatest World Cup Winning Result Ever For Bookies

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

Bookies celebrate best winning World Cup game ever as:
PUNTER LOSES BIGGEST WORLD CUP BET OF ALL

A William Hill telephone betting customer who staked a record 500,000 euros on Germany to beat Spain has lost his wager – the largest World Cup bet ever. ‘Not only did the 500,000 euro bet lose, but so did the 100,000 and 80,000 euro bets on Germany to win the tournament, and another 75,000 euro wager on them to get past Spain’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘Even though we have clients with £25,000 and £10,000 on Spain to win the World Cup we will be going into the Final celebrating the fact that Germany aren’t there. Germany losing that game made a difference of around £5million to us – it was almost certainly our best World Cup result ever. Now we’d like the Dutch to round off a fantastic tournament for us by beating Spain’ .

EVENS PAUL THE OCTOPUS TO PICK WORLD CUP WINNERS!

AND William Hill ARE NOW OFFERING ODDS OF EVEN MONEY THAT PAUL THE OCTOPUS WILL TIP THE WINNERS OF THE WORLD CUP AFTER HIS LATEST TRIUMPH IN SELECTING SPAIN TO BEAT GERMANY. ‘Punters are keen to keep on the right side of Paul’s tips, so we are giving them the chance to bet that he’ll pick the winner BEFORE they even know which side he has opted for’ said William Hill spokesman Graham Sharpe.

William Hill now make Spain 8/15 favourites to win the World Cup, with Holland offered at 6/4.
Hills make Spain Evens to win in 90m with Holland 12/5 and the draw 2/1.
DAVID VILLA is 8/11 to end up as World Cup top scorer with Hills who also offer 5/2 Sneijder; 4 Klose; 14 Muller; 16 Forlan.
