WILLIAM HILL OFFERING PACKERS BETTORS A CHANCE TO GET EVEN WITH “NO JUICE” WEEKEND

Nevada’s biggest bookmaker charging no commission on Green Bay bets

LAS VEGAS (September 28, 2012) — Green Bay Packers fans who lost bets at the mercy of the replacement referees Monday night will have a special chance to get even this weekend at all William Hill Sports Books in Nevada.

William Hill is offering “no juice” on Packers straight bets through kickoff of Sunday’s game against the New Orleans Saints. This means that William Hill will not charge the standard bookmaker’s 11/10 commission in which bettors must wager $110 for every $100 they wish to win. William Hill will be offering straight bets on the Packers side at even money.

“If you like the Packers against the Saints on Sunday, William Hill is the place to bet,” said Jimmy Vaccaro, Director of Public Relations for William Hill US. “Packers bettors got a bad beat because of the refs on Monday night. This is a chance to support the team again without having to pay the ‘juice’ to do so.”

Of course, Packers supporters won’t have to worry about any more blown calls by replacement officials, as the veteran NFL referees will be back to work for the game.

The Packers are favored by just over a touchdown playing at home on Sunday against the Saints. Kickoff for the game is 1:25 p.m. Pacific time.

Bets may be placed at more than 160 locations throughout Nevada, including all PT’s and Sierra Gold taverns. Bets may also be placed from anywhere in Nevada through the William Hill Mobile Sports app, available for download from www.williamhill.us.
