Football Punters Score Big With New Racing Post/William Hill app

The app has already proved popular because of simple, fast betting twinned with easy-to-digest betting gems like killer stats and expert tips.

And football fans are assured of a great app: its five-star racing stablemate has dominated the free sports app charts for months by virtue of having great information and easy betting.

"Football Betting is a massive opportunity for Racing Post, we just had to create another app that users will love. I think we’ve made it. There’s nothing like Football Bet available for the iPhone," commented Mark Renshaw, Racing Post’s Head of Online. "Once again the ability to quickly make informed bets on the move will mean it’s adopted quickly."

"The new Racing Post Football App is a must-have for all football fans," said William Hill spokesman Tony Kenny. "We’re really excited about the start of the Premier League season and to celebrate the launch of the 2011/12 campaign we’ve come up with some great offers for the betting public. We’re offering top prices on all the favourites in the Premier League this weekend and we also have the cracking money-back offer in the game between West Brom and Manchester United."
