Leading online bookmaker BetVictor are facing a huge payout if England overcome Spain in Sunday’s Euro 2024 final.
BetVictor handed new customers remarkable odds of 100/1 for England to win the tournament with a £1 bet before the competition in Germany kicked off. And now the Three Lions are just one game away from glory, punters are ready to cash in.
Sam Boswell, spokesperson of BetVictor, said:
England to lift any trophy is always a bad result for bookies but this year we are facing a much larger liability if Harry Kane and Co can go one step further than in the last Euros. At times it has looked like England were heading home early but somehow, we have just one game to go – and 58 years of hurt could finally come to an end…
Chris Poole, director of trading at BetVictor, added:
Not for the first time, Sam and our marketing department twisted my arm for an ultra-aggressive offer, giving new customers odds of 100/1 for England to win the Euros with a £1 bet. It proved massively popular, so much so that I will be watching the final from behind the sofa!
Meanwhile BetVictor brand ambassador Harry Redknapp has backed England to get over the line in Berlin and deal a huge blow to the bookies.
The former Tottenham manager said:
I can’t believe the guys at BetVictor ever doubted England! I know at times it looked like we could be going out, but we’ve improved as the tournament has gone on and we played some good attacking football in that first half against the Netherlands. I have said it all along, our name’s on the trophy, we have the best squad by miles. It’s meant to be!
