England-Germany to become biggest betting match EVER!
BOOKIES BRACED FOR £30m ‘GREATEST EVER PATRIOTIC GAMBLE’
THE WORLD CUP will become the biggest betting event of all time with over £1 billion gambled for the first time on any one tournament; and the country’s biggest bookies, William Hill say that England versus Germany on Sunday is sparking the greatest patriotic gamble they have ever seen.
‘The traditional rivalry between the two countries over the years has made it a certainty that up to £30 million will be at stake on the outcome.’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’There has also been a major10/1 patriotic gamble that England win the game, beat the Aussies in the 1 day cricket international, and either Lewis Hamilton or Jenson Button wins Sunday’s Grand Prix.’

‘If England do go through and meet Argentina in the next round that could be an even bigger betting game. Should England go all the way and win the World Cup bookies will have to shell out up to £50m, making it the grimmest day in bookmaking – currently a record held by Frankie Dettori’s seven race winning streak at Ascot in September 1996’

England fans are not only backing their heroes to win the biggest match they have ever contested – but are also betting on how many of the players will sing the national anthem; whether vuvuzelas will figure in after-match celebrations – and whether manager Fabio Capello will receive an honorary knighthood!

DEVON PUNTER CREAMS OFF BIG WORLD CUP PROFITS
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 Hills biggest ever football winner in Devon. Having staked £3770 on Michael Dawson to score first in Englands 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.
**BY CONTRAST, a William Hill telephone betting client was deprived of a potential £360,000 payout from an accumulator bet on Group outcomes when Italy failed to qualify from their Group.

Now For England Mega Gamble !

June 27, 2010 Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments 163, 50million, Bets, England World Cup, Euphoria, Frankie Dettori, Graham Sharpe, Match, New Zealand, Odds, Patriotic, Plethora, Punters, Slovenia, Sp-fb, Spokesman, Tens Of Thousands, Wagers, Winning The Game, World Cup Bookies, World Cup Victory

NOW BOOKIES FEAR £50M WORLD CUP MEGA GAMBLE ON ENGLAND

DESPITE facing a payout of up to £50million if England now go on to win the World Cup, bookies have welcomed their victory over Slovenia.
‘If England had failed to qualify, Britain’s bookies would have won £30million – as it is we now face a payout of up to £50million if they ultimately go all the way and win the tournament. We’ve slashed their odds from 10/1 to 7/1’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’In an ideal world we’d like England to reach the World Cup Final and lose in a penalty shoot-out, perhaps to New Zealand – but if they do win it, well, at least we’ve had 44 years to save up since their last success!
‘There was a huge gamble on England winning the game which forced us to shorten their odds pre-match as we took five figure bets galore for them – and now patriotic punters are pouring their cash on England to win the tournament – we’ve already seen two bets of £6500 amongst the plethora of five figure wagers, and expect to take tens of thousands more bets for England in the euphoria of their qualification.
‘The current worst day in bookmaking history came in September 1996 when Frankie Dettori cost the bookies over £30m – an England World Cup victory is likely to dwarf even that’ added Sharpe.
