Portugal 13/2 For Euros Glory As Ronaldo Humiliates Dutch

June 24, 2012 Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments Ballon, Cesc Fabregas, Czech Republic, Fernando Torres, Footy, Half A Million, Joe Crilly, Karim Benzema, Knockout Stages, Lionel, Mario Gomez, Pip, Ronaldo, Silva, Six Figure, Top Scorer, Tournament Winner, William Hill, Williamhill, World Cup

Germany and Portugal made it through to the knockout stages of the Euros at the expense of Denmark and pre-tournament third favourites Holland. Initially offered at 13/2 the Dutch were very underwhelming all tournament and that did not change against Portugal who are now 13/2 to win the tournament, while Germany are 9/4 joint favourites with Spain.

Rather than battle as they did in the World Cup, the Dutch capitulated in every game that they played in and we do not have to worry about the half a million liability we racked up on them, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly. Worryingly, however, Portugal and Germany both leave us with large six figure payouts so were not out of the woods just yet.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored two to put his side through and William Hill make him 4/1 to be the Euros top scorer and more importantly, he is 1/2 to pip Lionel Messi to the Ballon DOr with the Argentinian 13/8.

Tournament winner: 9/4 Germany; 9/4 Spain; 13/2 Portugal; 7/1 France; 10/1 England; 14/1 Italy; 33/1 Czech Republic; 33/1 Croatia; 50/1 Greece; 100/1 Ukraine

Top goalscorer: 2/1 Mario Gomez; 7/2 Fernando Torres; 4/1 Cristiano Ronaldo; 16/1 Cesc Fabregas; 16/1 Mario andzukic; 25/1 Alan Dzagoev; 25/1 Karim Benzema; 33/1 BAR

Ballon DOr: 1/2 Ronaldo; 13/8 Messi; 10/1 Iniesta; 12/1 Gomez; 16/1 Xavi; 20/1 Silva, Casillas; 25/1 BAR

WHO’LL WIN BALLON D’OR?

WESLEY SNEIJDER is 6/4 favourite with William Hill to win the prestigious Ballon d’Or Award following the announcement of the short-list of candidates. ‘Against him is the fact that he doesn’t play for the World Cup winners but other than that Wesley Sneijder would be a desreved winner. However, it is a sad reflection on England that they have no represnetatives on the list’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

TO WIN BALLON D’OR…6/4 Sneijder; 4 Messi; 5 Xavi; 11/2 Iniesta; 9 Villa; 16 Forlan; 20 Ronaldo; 33 Muller; Ozil; 40 Casillas; Eto’o; 50 Alonso;Drogba; Fabregas;Klose; Maicon; Puyol; Robben; Schweinsteiger; 66 Gyan; 100 Alves; Cesar; Lahm.

BORO 14/1 TO GO UP – 13/2 TO GO DOWN……..

AFTER APPOINTING Tony Mowbray as boss, Middlesbro are rated at 14/1 by William Hill to be promoted this season – and 13/2 to be relegated. ‘This won’t be an easy task for Tony Mowbray – we reckon they will struggle to reach the play-offs, let alone get promoted – and relegation is not out of the question’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WHERE WILL BORO FINISH?

WINNER….66/1
SECOND….40/1
