Scotland’s Next Manager Betting at William Hill Now Closed

Yes, the betting for Scotland’s next manager at the popular sports betting firm William Hill is now closed. The firm has actually decided not to take any more bets on who’s going to be Scotland’s next manager.

William Hill has actually opened a betting market in regards to the identity of the next manager of Scotland after George Burley left. A lot of bettors or punters have already placed their own bet but then the firm needs to close it due to the position of Chief Executive Ralph Topping as Scottish Premier League’s non-executive chairman.

But then, all bettors or punters who have already placed their own bet don’t need to worry about what they have gambled as Graham Sharpe of the firm assured that all of the bets already taken will be honored though the betting market for Scotland’s next manager will be closed because of Topping’s dual role.

“We would not like any aspersions to be cast in his or our direction in the event of any major gamble taking place on the identity of the new Scotland managerial appointment, so we have decided to close our book”, Sharpe said.

Burley was discharged from position as Scotland manager after 22 months of rendering his services, just last November 16. He only won 3 of his 14 games as the manager.

Walter Smith and Craig Levein were made favorites by Sky Bet to have the position at 5/2, while Jim Jefferies at 5/1 and John Collins at 6/1.

Many were saddened by the decision of William Hill to close the betting market in regards to the identity of the next manager of Scotland after George Burley left. But for the firm, it seems like it was the best decision to make then considering what Sharpe has actually said.
