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.
