Unlucky Man Wins


The online casino took the time to make the website’s unluckiest gambler and decided to make his day a little bit brighter. The 52 year old man from the United Kingdom is a regular player at the Will Hill online casinos. The UK bookie group that runs the Will Hill stats, launched an all out search for the most frustrating story of online gambling and bad luck. The father of four from Barnsley, Paul Greenwood, wrote in his story of how he has not had good luck in the game of online casinos and it looks like his luck may have changed. His story told about his horrible luck that he has had with sports betting. In March of 2008 he placed his weekly wager of GBP 10 on 14 of his favorite football teams which initially picked his favorite teams. He changed his bets at the last minute and changed his bet from Manchester United to Arsenal.

The online casino player unfortunately his first 13 selections won including Manchester United. This made his potential winnings of GBP 795,000 turn to a loss of GBP 10. Graham Sharpe, a spokesperson for the online casino said: "Against a great deal of competition from punters beaten by a short-head or a fall in horse races, we have declared Paul officially the unluckiest punter in the UK. I would think our customers will be desperate to know what Paul places his GBP 1 000 free bet on, so they can avoid it!" Will Hill’s online casinos will also be featured on an upcoming daytime television show.

Online casinos are sometimes limited by regulations placed upon them on the medium in which they can advertise on. William Hill’s bingo website just sponsored the television show, The Real Deal. The online casino hopes to gain more players on their website from the demographic of the show, which is the daytime TV viewer and at home bingo player. The new four month contract will be the second time around for the online gambling giant to sponsor a TV show and will hopefully return as good of a response as the one they received from the Spin Star network. The website has already tried to shake things up for the potential viewers of the show.
