News reports are suggesting that Manchester United are set to make a move for Spurs playmaker Luka Modric and William Hill are offering a market on who will start in midfield for the Reds on the first day of next season. Paul Scholes and new signing, Shinji Kagawa, are 4/7 with Ryan Giggs 8/11 to start. With Modric not confirmed as a Manchester United player yet, he is just 9/4 to take to the pitch in a United shirt on day one of the 2012/13 season.

After just missing out on the title this season, United are aiming to come back with a bang and the signings of Kagawa and Modric certainly indicate their intentions right at the start of the summer, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

David Beckham, Craig Bellamy and Ryan Giggs are reportedly the three over 23 players named in Stuart Pearces Olympic squad and Hills now make David Beckham the 1/3 favourite to wear the armband in the first game. Bellamy is the 5/1 second favourite with Giggs 6/1.

All three players have worn international armbands in the past and all three will be leaders on the pitch but it looks like Becks will lead the side out, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

To start for Manchester United next season:

1/3 Michael Carrick (9/4 not to)
4/7 Paul Scholes (5/4 not to)
4/7 Shinji Kagawa (5/4 not to)
8/11 Ryan Giggs (1/1 not to)
6/4 Tom Cleverley (1/2 not to)
6/4 Ji-Sung Park (1/2 not to)
9/4 Luka Modric (1/3 not to)
5/2 Darren Fletcher (2/7 not to)
9/2 Paul Pogba (1/8 not to)

Who will be Team GB in the first group game: 1/3 David Beckham; 5/1 Craig Bellamy; 6/1 Ryan Giggs

William Hill Pay Out On Poppy Compromise

November 18, 2011 Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments 163, Armbands, British Legion Poppy Appeal, Compromise, England Player, Fifa, Graham Sharpe, Haircut, Odds, Pitch, Red Hair, Royal British Legion, Spain, Spokesman, Sport Game, Twitter, Victory, William Hill, William Sharpe, Wm Hill

WILLIAM HILL PAY OUT ON POPPY COMPROMISE……

WITH FIFA reportedly permitting England to play against Spain wearing armbands with the poppy emblem on them, bookmakers William Hill, who were betting on whether they would be allowed to sport the poppy during the game or not, are paying out to those who bet that they would, (at odds of 1/6 to 1/8) and also to those who bet they wouldn’t at odds of up to 9/2. ‘This is a classic compromise by FIFA, allowing both sides to claim victory and deny defeat, and as a case can be made for those who bet either yes or no to be winners we have decided to pay out to both.’ said William Hill spokesman Graham Sharpe.
AND WILLIAM HILL HAVE ALSO ANNOUNCED THAT THEY WILL BE HANDING OVER A £5000 PAYMENT TO THE ROYAL BRITISH LEGION POPPY APPEAL. ‘We said we’d give the Poppy appeal our winnings – but as we are paying out on both options there won’t be any! So we have decided to make a donation of £5000 to the Appeal instead’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WM HILL POPPY SPECIALS STILL AVAILABLE:

PLAYER TO SCORE AND REVEAL A POPPY ON UNDER-SHIRT 7/2 YES 1/6 NO
ANY ENGLAND PLAYER ON THE PITCH TO HAVE DYED RED HAIR 10/1 YES 1-33 NO
ANY PLAYER TAKING PART WITH POPPY DESIGN HAIRCUT 20/1
