William Hill

Got an email from William Hill this morning with a 6 fold Accy offer of Chelsea, Hull, Valencia, Benfica, Athletico Madrid and AC Milan. Took them up on their offer with a tenner and just returned £115.

Are William Hill trying to lose money? A big thank you to William Hill anyway

Thanks for sharing that this morning.

I was out, got the email on my phone and placed the bet from there...sorry

I'd say not; the bet you had is exactly the sort of high margin product that makes them very rich.

Nice work on winning this one, but generally speaking, accas are great business for bookmakers.

Aye, Hills took in just under £1.5bn last year to turn a profit after tax of £226.5m. I wouldn't worry too much about them chucking you an acca for £115.
