2008 Bookies
Celebrate One Hull Of A Result Bookies
William
Hill
hailed their greatest result in Premiership history
after the industry was saved from an eight figure
payout by Hull's dramatric 1-2 victory at
Arsenal. "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." |
