Frank Backed To Start As England Reign Over Spain

Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

England were priced at 7/2 with William Hill to win against the World Champions who were the first odds on team to face the Three Lions at the new Wembley. Frank Lampard scored the winner and stood in for John Terry as captain and Hills are undecided as to whether he will start England’s Euro 2012 campaign offering 5/6 he starts England’s first game and 5/6 that he does not. Darren Bent set up the winner and, in the absence of Rooney is 4/7 to start England’s first match.

Spain remain the 5/2 favourites to win the Euros next summer while England are 11/1 joint fifth favourites.

“We are not going to get too carried away and suddenly make England favourites for the Euros but a result like that could possibly tempt a few more punters to have a go at our 11/1,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Capello will be taking charge of England for the last time in Poland and the Ukraine with Harry Redknapp the favourite to take the reins after him. His odds have drifted from 8/11 to 7/4 but he is still quite away ahead of Martin O’Neill and Arsene Wenger who are the 8/1 second favourites.

To Start 1st Euro 2012 game for England:

Lampard: 5/6 yes; 5/6 no
Terry: 1/6 yes; 7/2 no
Bent: 4/7 yes; 5/4

Next England Manager: 7/4 Harry Redknapp; 8/1 Martin O’Neill; 8/1 Arsene Wenger; 14/1 Gareth Southgate; 14/1 Roy Hodgson; 16/1 Stuart Pearce; 16/1 Jose Mourinho; 20/1 BAR

Euro 2012 Winner: 5/2 Spain; 7/2 Germany; 5/1 Holland; 10/1 Italy; 11/1 England; 11/1 France; 16/1 Russia; 22/1 Portugal; 33/1 BAR

Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

John Terry sat out England’s victory against Spain and William Hill make are offering a market on what he will do first should he start versus Sweden. The 5/6 favourite is that England concede a goal while he is on the pitch while it is 12/1 he scores a goal and 40/1 he gets sent off. Having been very much the outsiders against Spain, England return to favouritism against Sweden at 4/6 with the visitors 7/2 and the draw 23/10.

“John Terry returns to the International fold after sitting out the Spain game and it will be interesting to see if he returns with a bang or a whimper,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Capello has received a fair amount of praise following his side’s battling victory and Hills now offer 8/1 that he remains as the England manager after the Euro 2012 Championships. Harry Redknapp is the 7/4 favourite to become England’s next manager with Martin O’Neill and Arsene Wenger 8/1.

What will John Terry do first vs Sweden: 5/6 Complete game; 5/2 complete the match; 9/2 be substituted; 7/1 yellow card; 12/1 score; 40/1 get sent off

Capello to remain as England manager after the Euro 2012 Championships: 8/1 yes; 1/20 no

England vs Sweden: 4/6 England; 7/2 Sweden; 23/10 draw

Tevez to start a Premier League game for Manchester City again: 13/8 yes; 4/9 no

1st Premier League Manager to leave his job: 4/7 Steve Kean; 7/2 Steve Bruce; 8/1 David Moyes; 10/1 Arsene Wenger; 12/1 Neil Warnock; 14/1 Alan Pardew; 16/1 BAR

Premier League Latest: Arsenal Gunning For Fifth As United Odds On To Stay Unbeaten Longest

Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Arsene Wenger has made no secret of the fact that his Arsenal side is struggling and William Hill reckon the Gunners will miss out on Champions League football next season. Hills have them at 8/15 to finish 5th or sixth this season while their odds of a top four finish is 9/4. They are 40/1 to win the league and 100/1 to be relegated. Arsene Wenger is 9/4 to have left Arsenal by the end of the season and 8/1 to be the first Premier League manager to leave his job.

Hills offer 13/8 that Arsenal concede over 55 goals this season and are 1/16 to end the season with no silverware.

“Arsenal’s form at the moment is nowhere near the high standards that they have set over the past few years and Nasri and Fabregas appear justified in having left the Gunners in search of silverware,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

In stark contrast to Arsenal’s shaky start, United are five for five this season and are 1000/1 to win every single game this season and 10/1 to remain undefeated all season. They are odds on for the first time this season to win the league, at 4/6 while their cross city rivals are 5/2 to do so. Hills offer 6/4 that Manchester United win the league with City in second while it is 3/1 for City 1st and Utd 2nd.

Wayne Rooney is 13/8 to win the golden boot this season, with Sergio Aguero 11/4.

After the weekend’s matches, there are now only four unbeaten sides in the Premier League and William Hill make Manchester United the 2/5 favourites of the four to remain undefeated for the greatest number of matches. City are 2/1, while Newcastle are 16/1 and Villa 25/1.

Arsenal finishing position: 40/1 winner; 9/4 top four; 8/15 5th or 6th; 6/1 7th – 10th; 10/1 11th-17th; 100/1 relegated

Last team to lose in EPL: 2/5 Man Utd; 2/1 Man City; 16/1 Newcastle; 25/1 Aston Villa

1000/1 Utd to win every match this season

10/1 Utd to remain undefeated all season

Arsenal goals conceded this season: 15/8 under 48; 6/4 49-55; 13/8 over 55

First Premier League manager to go: 4/6 Steve Kean; 9/2 Steve Bruce; 8/1 Arsene Wenger; 9/1 Alan Pardew; 10/1 Neil Warnock; 12/1 David Moyes; 12/1 Harry Redknapp; 16/1 Mick McCarthy; 20/1 BAR

Arsene In Trouble…8/1 To Be Next To Go, 9/4 To Go This Season

Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Arsenal’s humbling at the hands of Blackburn have seen William Hill shorten his odds of NOT being at Arsenal on the last day of the season to 9/4. He is 1/3 to still be there. Arsene Wenger is back down to 8/1 to be the next manager to leave their club having drifted out to 12/1 on transfer deadline day.

“Arsene brought in a number of players on transfer deadline day, intended to strengthen the side, but the new faces appear, at first glance, not to have done the trick and Wenger could be out on his Arsene very soon,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Hills offer 10/1 that Arsenal finish in the bottom half and having conceded another two own goals, Arsenal are 4/1 to score at least another five own goals this season. Arsenal are now far and away the Premier League’s leakiest side and Hills offer 13/8 that Arsenal concede over 55 goals this season.

William Hill Odds:

How Many Own Goals Will Arsenal Score This Season: 13/2 None; 5/2 One; 5/2 Two; 9/2 Three; 10/1 Four; 4/1 Five or more

Wenger to be in charge on the last day of the season: 1/3 yes; 9/4 gone

8/1 Arsene Wenger to be next Premier League manager to go

Total Arsenal goals conceded in PL this season: 15/8 under 48; 6/4 49-55; 13/8 55 or more

10/1 Arsenal to finish bottom half this season
