BOOKIES SHAKEN AS WAYNE SNUBS TERRY

BOOKMAKERS William Hill are paying out to punters who gambled on Wayne Bridge refusing to shake hands with John Terry after the odds about that happening were slashed from odds against to odds-on following a surge of bets.
‘We cut our odds once from 13/8 to 11/10 and then again to 5/6 as punters poured cash on the Bridge snub’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘It will cost us a five figure sum – so we’re shaken- but not stirred enough to rule out similar bets in the future as they create a huge talking point.’
HILLS OFFER 10/1 THAT BRIDGE WILL CHANGE HIS MIND AND MAKE HIMSELF AVAILABLE FOR 2010 WORLD CUP SELECTION.

Pompey Drop Payout

********POMPEY DROP PAY OUT*******

BOOKMAKERS William Hill are paying out on Portsmouth being relegated from the Premiership. ‘Pompey are poised to go into administration on Friday, and if they do so they will be a massive odds-on shot to be relegated; as it is, they are currently 1/20 for the drop, having opened the season at 7/1 to go down, and it seems like delaying the inevitable not to pay out now. Punters will benefit to the tune of a five figure payout, which they would almost certainly have received in any case a few weeks down the line’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

With injury doubts over Rio:
WHO WILL SKIPPER ENGLAND V USA?

WITH RIO FERDINAND’S season-long injury problems showing no signs of ending, William Hill have made him 1/6 favourite to start England’s opening World Cup game as skipper. ‘Given his persistent problems it is a brave punter who would risk backing Rio to start the first World Cup game as captain’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘And for all that he has strongly suggested Rio will be his pick, Fabio has yet to confirm it officially’

Hills…..Who Will Captain England v USA ?
Ferdinand 1/6, Gerrard 9/2, Rooney 12/1, Lampard 14/1, Beckham 25/1, Terry 20/1, Barry 33/1, James 50/1, A Cole 50/1.

*********************************WILLIAM HILL CHAMPIONS LEAGUE SPECIALS:
PREMIER LEAGUE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE PLAY OFFS A NON STARTER? YOU BET….
BOOKMAKERS William Hill are offering 9/2 that the Premier League WILL introduce a play off to determine who gets the fourth Champions League place, during the 2010/11 season – but offer 1/8 that they will NOT. ‘This may seem an attractive idea in theory, but could result in a team finishing perhaps a dozen points or more away from an automatic Champions League place eventually qualifying for the tournament – what purpose would that serve? It would also mean more matches for tired players, which probably wouldn’t play well with international team bosses. Would Capello be happy if that system were in place this season and a key player was injured as a result? We think it is a non-starter.’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

John Terry 10/1 To Resign As England Skipper

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

10/1 John Terry to resign as England skipper:
TERRY ODDS ON TO RETAIN ENGLAND CAPTAINCY

DESPITE yet another high profile tabloid scandal enveloping the England football team captain, bookmakers William Hill believe John Terry will still be skipper of his country when the 2010 World Cup kicks off – and make him a 4/11 chance to start the opening game against USA wearing the captain’s armband. Hills offer 10/1 that Terry will resign the captaincy before Chelsea kick off their forthcoming midweek game against Hull.
‘Even the most accident-prone politician might find it difficult to survive the sort of stories Terry has been involved in recently, but football seems to have a moral code all of its own and the chances are that Terry will avoid being stripped of the captaincy’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

**WHO WILL SKIPPER ENGLAND V USA?…..4/11 Terry; 11/4 Gerrard; 16/1 David Beckham; Rio Ferdinand; Wayne Rooney.(Others on request)
HILLS OFFER 1/3 THAT TERRY WILL STILL BE A CHELSE PLAYER ON THE FIRST DAY OF NEXT SEASON, 9/4 THAT HE WILL NOT.
