Leading online bookmaker BetVictor faces a substantial financial hit if England triumphs over Spain in Sunday’s Euro 2024 final.
BetVictor offered new customers extraordinary odds of 100/1 for England to win the tournament with just a £1 bet before the competition kicked off in Germany. Now, with the Three Lions on the brink of glory, bettors are poised to cash in.
"England lifting any trophy is always a challenging outcome for bookies, but this year the stakes are even higher," said Sam Boswell, Spokesperson for BetVictor.
"If Harry Kane and his team go one step further than in the last Euros, we are looking at a significant liability. Despite moments when it seemed like England might be heading home early, we're now just one game away from potentially ending 58 years of disappointment."
Chris Poole, Director of Trading at BetVictor, shared his perspective on the situation. "Sam and our marketing department convinced me to go with an ultra-aggressive offer, providing new customers with odds of 100/1 for England to win the Euros with a £1 bet. The offer was incredibly popular, so much so that I will be watching the final from behind the sofa!"
BetVictor Brand Ambassador Harry Redknapp remains optimistic about England’s chances in the final. The former Tottenham manager believes that England has the potential to secure victory in Berlin, dealing a massive blow to the bookmakers.
"I can’t believe the guys at BetVictor ever doubted England!" Redknapp exclaimed. "Yes, there were times it looked like we might be going out, but we’ve improved as the tournament has progressed. We played some excellent attacking football in the first half against the Netherlands.
"I’ve said it all along – our name’s on the trophy. We have the best squad by miles. It’s meant to be!"
As England prepares to face Spain in the Euro 2024 final, the potential payout for BetVictor looms large. With fans and punters alike eagerly awaiting the outcome, Sunday’s match promises to be a thrilling conclusion to an exciting tournament.
If England emerges victorious, it will not only end decades of waiting for fans but also result in a historic financial hit for BetVictor.
