"The difference between Rob Green making the save and letting the ball in made a difference of over £10 million to how much bookies had to pay out to punters who backed England to win the game. In eight World Cups, I can never remember a costlier blunder for backers and that includes the Maradona hand of God goal, which only stopped England drawing, rather than winning." said William Hill's spokesman Graham Sharpe. "Several punters had bet £10,000 on England to win and hundreds of thousands of supporters had more modest bets on the outcome of the game and the correct score." England's next World Cup match takes place on Friday, 18 June against Algeria. |
