Gambling Guru Hammers Bookies For £1/3 Million

A William Hill customer from London has smashed betting records today after taking the bookies for a cool £335,671 as the third part of his hat-trick of bets came up trumps following Middlesbrough's amazing UEFA Cup Semi-Final comeback. "His bets which totalled £204,000 (£50,000 Arsenal to win first leg of semi 4/7; £100,00 Arsenal to make the Final 4/9 and £54,000 double on both Arsenal and Middlesbrough to make their respective Finals - each at 4/9) was the biggest European club football wager we have ever taken and at half time we thought we would finally be getting some of our money back, but the betting gods are definitely on his side and if he carries on like this he will become a gambling legend!" said Hill's spokesman Rupert Adams.
Middlesbrough (who were 22/1 at the start of the Cup) are offered at 11/10 to beat Servilla (4/6) in the Final of the UEFA Cup, with an Arsenal / Middlesbrough Euro Double paying £3.50 for a £1 stake.

**Champions League Final: 1/2 Barcelona, 6/4 Arsenal........Despite getting to the Final, Hills still think that Henry is unlikely to be an Arsenal player at the start of next season and offer 4/6 that he is not and 11/10 that he will still be wearing an Arsenal shirt at the start of next season.

**Hills make Arsenal 5/2 to win the Champions League without conceding a further goal (excluding penalty shoot-outs). Jens Lehman is 20/1 to save a penalty in the Champions League Final (excluding penalty shoot-outs).
