World Cup sees large take-up of Internet Betting

THE BILLION POUND WORLD CUP GAMBLE

WORLD CUP gamblers are betting over £350 per SECOND; more than £20,000 per MINUTE; almost £1.5 million per HOUR; over £30 million per DAY and are well on course for a record total of over ONE BILLION pounds on the tournament, say bookmakers William Hill.

'The World Cup is the biggest betting event of all time, and punters worldwide are lining up to make bookies the big losers - and if England lift the trophy, then football will be coming home - but bookies may have to re-mortgage theirs!' said Hill's spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Early results have been going the gamblers’ way with a string of hotly fancied favourites winning the games – the biggest winner so far is a Swiss client of Hills who has collected £371,000 after successfully backing Brazil and Germany to win their matches, but a London-based businessman will dwarf that amount if England win the tournament. He staked the biggest ever bet of £200,000 on a team to lift the trophy and will collect £1,400,000 if the wager comes off.

• Chris Garland from Reading will win £100,000 from Hills if Germany beat England 4-2 in the Final to avenge their famous defeat by that score in 1966. He bet £100 at 1000/1.

• Stuart Harvey from West Sussex will win £3000 from William Hill if England win the World Cup – and his wife Diana gives birth on the same day, after betting £20 at 150/1.

• Darren Green from London will collect £6000 if England win the World Cup –with Peter Crouch scoring the last goal of the game, having bet £60 at 100/1.

• Craig Chidgey of Kent can win £2680 after betting £40 at 66/1 on his dream that Wayne Rooney will score to give England a 1-0 lead against France during the tournament.

From Peter Crouch doing his Robot Dance again, through David Beckham’s haircuts, to mega bets on who wins it this World Cup is the biggest betting bonanza bookies have ever known’ said William Hill spokesman Graham Sharpe.
