Punters Go Nuts For Brazil
June 7, 2010 By Leave a Comment
YOU BET PUNTERS ARE NUTS FOR BRAZIL
SPAIN are no longer clear favourites for the World Cup with William Hill for the first time since they won the Euro 2008 tournament after Hills reported support for Brazil and cut their odds from 9/2 to 4/1 to become joint favourites with Spain.
One William Hill client, from Lytham St Annes in Lancashire, has staked an £8824 double on Brazil winning the World Cup this year AND in 2014 – at odds of 16/1, which will win him £150,008 if it comes off. The same punter has also staked a £5173 double on Argentina to win this year – going on to Brazil to win in 2014 at odds of 28/1, also set to produce a return of £150,017.’The punter is clearly convinced that Brazil will win in 2014 and happy to wait until then to collect his six figure winnings’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills have also shortened Argentina from 7/1 to 13/2 after taking another five figure bet for them, and eased England out to 13/2 from 6/1.
A William Hill customer staked 10,000 euros on Germany at 14/1 as big bets began to be placed on the World Cup, which will become the biggest betting event ever with over £1billion gambled on its outcome. ‘There is no doubt that as the tournament gets nearer to kick off there will be hefty bets placed on all of the leading contenders’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
William Hill LATEST WORLD CUP ODDS….4/1 Brazil; Spain; 13/2 Argentina; England; 9/1 Holland; 14/1 Germany; 16/1 Italy; 18/1 France.

Goals Galore At World Cup ?

GOALS GALORE AT WORLD CUP? YOU BET!
WITH THE official World Cup ball already causing controversy over its aero-dynamic qualities, William Hill are quoting odds that the record total of goals in a 32 country World Cup finals wil be beaten. The previous record total was 171 goals in 1998 and Hills offer 6/4 that 172 or more will be scored this time round (including extra time but excluding penalty shoot-out goals), 1/2 that 171 or fewer will be scored.’Every ball which appears at a tournament seems to create some sort of panic amongst keepers, concerned that it will make them look incompetent – but they’re probably getting their excuses in early if truth were told!’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
And Hills have also opened a book on how many goals England will score during the tournament, and offer:
0…..80/1 1…..50/1 2……33/1 3………20/1 4…….16/1 5…….14/1 6…….12/1 7……10/1 8……9/1 9……8/1 10…….13/2 11……..9/2
12…………11/2 13 or more….10/3
Keeper backed to play longest:
WILL FABIO GO GREEN?
ROBERT GREEN, once the 11/2 outsider to start in goal for England against USA is now down to 6/4 to do so with William Hill who have lengthened David James from 4/6 to 8/11 favourite while Joe Hart is now the 6/1 outsider.
Hills have also cut Green from 12/1 to 10/1 to play the greatest number of minutes of any player for England during the tournament, a market in which Ashley Cole and John Terry are 9/2 joint favourites with Hills who also offer:5/1 G Johnson, 11/2 David James, 6/1 R Ferdinand, 13/2 F Lampard, 9/1 S Gerrard, 10/1 R Green, 12/1 G Barry, 12/1 W Rooney, 16/1Joe Hart, James Milner, 20/1 L King, 20/1 M Carrick, 25/1 J Cole, 33/1 J Carragher, 33/1 S Warnock, 40/1 A Lennon, 40/1 E HeSky, 40/1 P Crouch, 66/1 M Upson, 66/1 S Wright-Phillips, 100/1 J Defoe
