Europe's leading on-line gaming and sportsbook website williamhill.com fear that Alejandro Valverde could cost them a €1 million payout. The local rider is now the odds on favourite to win the Vuelta A Espana cycling race.

Madrid, Spain, September 16, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Spanish bettors are on the edge of a €1million payday if countryman Alejandro Valverde wins la Vuelta in Madrid this week.
Online betting company, williamhill.com reports that 90% of all bets have been for Valverde, and they face a payout of €1million if he wins this year’s Tour.
David Hood, spokesman for the Green Jersey sponsors said: “Spanish gamblers have supported Valverde as if defeat is out of the question and he looks certain to repay their patriotic faith.
