Biggest Sports Betting Event Ever
Monday, July 12, 2010 at 3:00 PMWritten by Daniel OA month of football is behind us. And the best team has won.
But there were other "records" involved. Here are a few.
Biggest sports betting event ever: billions, yes billions of
pounds were wagered on the games. Perhaps for the first time, at least in such
a scale, punters could do it online with
quality sportsbooks
offering bets of all kinds, and all sizes..
Biggest sign sports betting bet: dude placed a 417,000 pound wager on Germany to beat Spain in the semi finals. The only winner here is
William Hill Sportsbook..
1-goal final, 14 yellow cards: sure, it wasn't pretty,
especially the Netherlands' De Jong's kick to Xavi Alonso's chest, but referee Howard
Webb was quite card happy indeed. Webb issued 14 yellow cards - 5 in overtime -
and a red in the World Cup final. I'm not sure it was a record, but leaving the
Dutch with 10 players on the field for the final 10 minutes was crucial for the
Spaniards scoring the goal.
There. I said it. Now let's enjoy the Tour de France will
you? ;)
