William Hill taking a position. Now life really gets interesting!

I can't bet with them but I am familiar with how they set their markets. They are not in trouble at all. My experience is that when they offer a great offer on a big event it is because they feel the line is going to move that way. This tells me that by kick off Spain will be way higher than 2.2 (+120).

Nothing too far out of the ordinary at 2.20
Pinnacle is offering 2.18

It is quite normal for Pommies to put up promotions and then take peanuts on those bets, but for everyone that does fancy Spain to win the World Cup within 90 minutes, go for the 2.20 (+120) with William Hill. The took 8000 Euros from me without a problem. They seem to need the money. Are they in trouble?

Everything I want to bet on goes to a trader and normally I get a max bet of 2.88€ or something.

that is because you are a winner

.
Willhill company as thousands of shops in UK they must take milions everyday in bets, so i guess 8000€ is nothing for them

A punter lost 500.000€ betting on Germany to beat Spain.
They should be happy and allow me to bet more than 2€.

I've got 1K there and never even asked for a withdrawal.

then I suggest it's time you did
why leave it there for them to earn interest on?

They have nice Premier League 'Bet One, get One Free' offers.
I'm still able to get a tenner on one of those offers.

My feeling is that if I withdraw they won't allow me a penny on any bet.

Topic starter is not really up to date with Will Hill's odds though, they are often slow with moving their odds.
Was very obvious with last weeks Europa League.

there was a story about it couple of days ago. pinnacle will let you bet that $250k multiple times, don't worry

+110 and they still claim best price
