Another Special Promotion

Who would have though that it pays to be a loser? Will Hill launched an innovation promotion that punters can only hope will be an annual event. Will Hill’s land and online casino betting divisions are, by far, the company’s signature product. Will Hill has been in the bookmaking business for decades and the company is well respected. The company announced a nationwide hunt for the most unlucky punter in the UK throughout 2008. The response to the hunt was overwhelming and Will Hill had a lot of tough decisions to make – it’s the nature of betting online and on land to have near misses and a lot of close calls. But for an unlucky bettor out of Barnsley, Paul Greenwood, luck was just not on his side in 2008.

Greenwood is a frequent punter, and, like any punter has one standby team that never does him wrong. Greenwood’s mistake was changing his mind at the last moment and changing one of his bets from Manchester United to Aston Villa – that decision alone cost the unlucky land and online casino bettor GBP 795,000 in winnings…instead he walked away 10 pounds lighter in his pocket. This sad story may happen dozens of times all over the globe as gamblers use land bookie shops and online casinos to place bets on sporting events, horseraces, and just about anything under the sun.

For Greenwood – luck was on his side just a bit when Will Hill chose the gambler as the unluckiest punter in the UK for 2008. In honor of this dubious award, Will Hill has given Greenwood GBP 1,000 in free bets to use in any way he wishes throughout the new year. And not surprisingly, Will Hill also issued a playful warning to other punters – find out what Paul’s betting on…and “avoid it!”
