BetVictor cursing Spain Euro 2012 victory after shelling out six-figure sum to customers

BetVictor customers enjoyed Euro 2012 payback after Spain claimed victory in the final against Italy

There are some glum faces at BetVictor HQ today after Spain cruised to a 4-0 Euro 2012 final victory against Italy on Sunday night, something which triggered a massive refund to customers that had backed another team to win the tournament.

Stan James were caught short two years ago and now it is BetVictor’s turn to cry into their cornflakes after a Spain triumph which was achieved largely without any recognised strikers, something that Charlie McCann felt was beyond La Roja.

We caught up with Charlie on Monday morning who revealed the true cost of running this ‘Spain Again’ promotion.

He told me: “The cashback cost us a substantial six-figure sum and we already have the mony back in our customers’ accounts.

“Our belief was that La Roja would miss both Carlos Puyol and David Silva, that Fernando Llorente had finished the season poorly and Fernando Torres had had a poor season. Little did we know they could win the tournament without a recognised striker in their XI but the best side won. 

“We are today licking our wounds and counting the cost but congratulations to those who backed Germany, England, France, Holland even Italy pre-event as we had the money back in their accounts by midnight last night”.
