"It would have been the heftiest ever payout in football betting's history - the football equivalent of Frankie Dettori's Magnificent Seven in horse racing - and it is ironic that Frankie is a Gunners' fan." said William Hill's spokesman Graham Sharpe. "We were inundated with massive potential payouts on accumulator bets, which had team an Arsenal victory with every combination of Liverpool, Manchester United, Chelsea, Celtic, Leeds and Aston Villa - all of whom won. Tesn of millions would have been drained out of bookies' coffers had Arsenal won. As it is, the industry is celebrating its most profitable day of football betting ever." One William Hill client from Surrey staked £100 on a Hull victory by a score of 2-1. "He took 33/1 and won £3300 but later in the day we pushed the odds out to 66/1, so he would have won even more had he waited a little. Otherwise, the biggest bets we took for a Hull victory at 16/1 were two £100 bets." |
