William Hill Predict Massive Champions League Bets
Less than a week from the biggest game of the European football calendar in Moscow, UK bookmaker William Hill have revealed that they expect £10,000,000 to be bet on the Champions League Final.
This, in concordance with the absence of any British teams in Euro 2008, is thought to be the reason for the unusually high prediction by William Hill. A spokesperson for William Hill said, ''The amount being bet on the final is high as it is the first time that two English teams are meeting in the final of a European competition. Also one should remember that none of the UK countries have made it to the Euro 2008 finals.'
William Hill has cut the odds on Chelsea manager Avram Grant clinching the double, but also set a new price on the Israeli leaving the club before the start of the next season. The new odds on Grant's departure are 10/1.

It's no wonder that there are huge amounts being expected to be bet. I heard that 50,000 Man Utd and Chelsea fans descended on Moscow this week-so this apparently is a really huge deal!
