Murray Mint For Wimbledon Punters?
LONDON, UK -- (PRESS RELEASE) -- Andy Murray has overtaken Tim Henman as the man the bookies fear winning Wimbledon this year.
'We now have a larger potential liability for Murray than Henman winning the tournament and will face a seven figure-plus payout if he were to pull off what would admittedly be the shock of the century!' said Hill's spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Murray is now a 100/1 shot with William Hill who make Federer 4/7 favourite to hang on to the title and also offer 7/2 Roddick; 14/1 Hewitt; Nadal; Safin; 20/1 Ancic; Henman; 25 Gasquet; 33 J Johannson; 40 Nalbandian - on whom one punter from Stoke staked £40,000 to win his match on Tuesday with Hills, making a £10,000 profit on the 1/4 bet.
Hills make Sharapova 2/1 favourite to win the womens event and also offer 3/1 Clijsters; 9/2 S Williams; 8 Davenport; 12 Venus; Kuznetsova; Mauresmo. O'Donohue is a 500/1 no hoper.
