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

Will Carroll Be Singing Following Rooney’s Rush Of Blood?

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

Wayne Rooney’s red card against Montenegro means that he will miss the opening game of Euro 2012 and William Hill are offering 10/11 that Andy Carroll is the man to start up top in England’s opener. Danny Welbeck is 6/5 second favourite with Theo Walcott 5/4. Rooney’s rush of blood to the head is being portrayed as an isolated incident but Hills go 20/1 about him getting his marching orders against Liverpool on Saturday.

“Rooney’s rush of blood has opened the door for someone else to come in and impress for Capello’s men at Euro 2012 and the odds suggest that Andy Carroll will be the one to benefit,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Ireland are the shortest priced team to qualify for Euro 2012 via the playoffs after they were drawn against Estonia. Trapattoni’s men are 1/3 to reach Poland and Ukraine while Estonia are 9/4. Portugal failed to qualify automatically and face Bosnia. Hills offer 4/9 that they make it through the two legged tie.

Ireland’s first game is away and they are 13/10 to return from Estonia with a victory in the bag.

To Start England’s First Euro 2012 Match: 10/11 Andy Carroll; 6/5 Danny Welbeck; 5/4 Theo Walcott; 2/1 Jermaine Defoe; 5/2 Darren Bent; 7/2 Gabby Agbonlaor; 7/2 Daniel Sturridge; 7/2 Bobby Zamora; 4/1 Peter Crouch; 8/1 Connor Wickham; 11/1 Jay Bothroyd; 14/1 Michael Owen; 16/1 Cameron Jerome

England Odds Shunted Out As Rooney Red Rocks Euro Hopes

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

On the back of the news that Wayne Rooney has received a three match ban from UEFA, William Hill have shunted England’s odds of winning Euro 2012 out by two points from 9/1 to 11/1. He is 14/1 to receive a red card at the tournament.

“The increase in odds reflects the fact that Rooney has to be considered the only real world class striker in Capello’s armoury,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Wayne Rooney has been pushed out from 9/2 second favourite to 11/2 fourth favourite to be top scorer for England at the tournament behind Darren Bent (7/2), Andy Carroll (9/2) and Steven Gerrard (5/1).

England are 4/7 to qualify from their group but 5/4 to fail to make it to the quarter finals. Rooney is 2/1 to fail to start an England Euro 2012 game (4/11 to start at least one match).

William Hill Wayne Rooney Odds:

To start a Euro 2012 match: 4/11 yes; 2/1 no

England to qualify from the group: 4/7 yes; 5/4 no

England Top Scorer: 7/2 Darren Bent; 9/2 Andy Carroll; 5/1 Steven Gerrard; 11/2 Wayne Rooney; 7/1 Theo Walcott; 7/1 Ashley Young; 7/1 Danny Welbeck; 7/1 Jermaine Defoe

Euro 2012 Winner: 11/4 Spain; 7/2 Germany; 5/1 Holland; 10/1 Italy; 11/1 England; 11/1 France; 16/1 Russia; 22/1 BAR

Will Rooney’s ban be reduced on appeal: 5/6 yes; 5/6 no

14/1 Wayne Rooney to be sent off during Euro 2012

WILL LAMPS LIGHT UP ENGLAND AGAINST MONTENEGRO?

WILLIAM HILL are undecided about Frank Lampard’s chances of starting England’s vital Euro qualifier against Montenegro despite his weekend hat-trick, and offer 5/6 that Capello WILL start him, 5/5 that he WILL NOT. ‘Lampard is football Marmite at the moment – dividing opinion between those who believe he is still an integral part of the England starting line up, and those who believe he is past his international sell-by date’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. Hills make Lampard 10/3 to score if he does start. And 9/1 to get the opening goal of the game.
Hills are also betting on whether other named players will start and make Cahill 4/7 to do so, with Carroll 5/2.
**England are 4/5 to win the game with Hills who make Montenegro 7/2 and the draw 12/5.

STEVEN GERRARD 7/4 TO START FOR ENGLAND

William Hill offer 7/4 that Steven Gerrard will start England’s next Euro qualifier against Montenegro in October – and offer 6/5 that if he starts he will finish the game. ‘Gerrard is unlikely to have played a great deal of football before that game, so Capello may decide not to risk starting him’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WILL GERRARD START VE MONTENEGRO?…..7/4 YES; 2/5 NO
WILL GERARD FINISH THE GAME IF HE STARTS?….6/5 YES; 8/13 NO

England 7/4 To Win Group G With Games To Spare

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

Bookmakers William Hill are offering a number of specials about how England will fare in their Euro 2012 group. Hills offer 4/1 that England get maximum points from their remaining fixtures and 5/4 that they fall just short with 19-21 points. They are 7/4 to score between 19 and 21 goals and 9/2 to score 22 or more goals. Hills think that Group G is going to be incredibly tight and offer 7/4 that England win the group with games to spare, but 2/5 that they do not.

Jermaine Defoe is currently England’s leading scorer in Euro 2012 qualifiers with three and Hills go 5/4 that he ends the campaign as top marksman. Darren Bent is 6/4 second favourite, while Lampard and Rooney are 6/1 and 7/1 respectively.

“”England are top of their group and while they are expected to qualify, the odds suggest that it will be closer than many would expect,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

England are 2/5 to win the match at Wembley with Switzerland 6/1. The draw is priced at 14/5. Hills also offer 3/1 that any England substitute scores a goal. Darren Bent is the 10/3 favourite to open the scoring on Saturday, with Peter Crouch 9/2, joint second favourite with Bobby Zamora.

England are 8/1 to win Euro 2012 and 12/1 to win the competition without losing a game either in qualifying or the finals themselves.

With Wayne Rooney banned for the England match against Switzerland, William Hill are betting on which of the three forwards in the squad will start the game. Darren Bent is 1/7 while Peter Crouch is 1/4. Bobby Zamora is 11/4. The central midfield is another position that is up for grabs during the match and Hills make Scott Parker, Frank Lampard and Jack Wilshere all odds on to start, with Capello thought to be considering three men across the middle. Parker is 4/9, while Lampard is 1/10 and Jack Wilshere 4/11.

To Start vs Switzerland:
Peter Crouch 1/4 Yes; 11/4 No
Darren Bent 1/7 Yes; 4/1 No
Bobby Zamora 11/4 Yes; 1/4 No
Scott Parker 4/9 Yes; 13/8 No
Frank Lampard 1/10 Yes; 11/2 No
Jack Wilshere 4/11 Yes; 2/1 No

Euro 2012 Outright: 3/1 Spain; 4/1 Germany; 6/1 Holland; 8/1 England; 10/1 Italy; 10/1 France; 16/1 Portugal; 20/1 Russia; 25/1 Croatia; 33/1 Ukraine; 40/1 Poland; 50/1 BAR

Odds Hint At 4-3-3 For England This Weekend…will Sam Be The Man For West Ham?

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

With Wayne Rooney banned for the England match against Switzerland, William Hill are betting on which of the three forwards in the squad will start the game. Darren Bent is 1/7 while Peter Crouch is 1/4. Bobby Zamora is 11/4. The central midfield is another position that is up for grabs during the match and Hills make Scott Parker, Frank Lampard and Jack Wilshere all odds on to start, with Capello thought to be considering three men across the middle. Parker is 4/9, while Lampard is 1/10 and Jack Wilshere 4/11.

“Parker and Wilshere impressed against Wales and it looks as they will be rewarded by starting on Saturday. Lampard also looks like he will start alongside the pair as Capello seeks to use the 4-3-3 that has proved effective in recent matches,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

England are 2/5 to win the match at Wembley with Switzerland 6/1. The draw is priced at 14/5. Hills also offer 3/1 that any England substitute scores a goal. Darren Bent is the 10/3 favourite to open the scoring on Saturday, with Peter Crouch 9/2, joint second favourite with Bobby Zamora.

England are 8/1 to win Euro 2012 and 12/1 to win the competition without losing a game either in qualifying or the finals themselves.

To Start vs Switzerland:
Peter Crouch 1/4 Yes; 11/4 No
Darren Bent 1/7 Yes; 4/1 No
Bobby Zamora 11/4 Yes; 1/4 No
Scott Parker 4/9 Yes; 13/8 No
Frank Lampard 1/10 Yes; 11/2 No
Jack Wilshere 4/11 Yes; 2/1 No

Euro 2012 Outright: 3/1 Spain; 4/1 Germany; 6/1 Holland; 8/1 England; 10/1 Italy; 10/1 France; 16/1 Portugal; 20/1 Russia; 25/1 Croatia; 33/1 Ukraine; 40/1 Poland; 50/1 BAR

William Hill are offering a number of West Ham specials, following the announcement that Sam Allardyce has taken over the reins at West Ham. He has been a relative success at almost every club that he has been at and Hills offer 10/11 that West Ham get promoted into the Premier League at any point during Allardyce’s time at the club. They are 16/1 to win either the FA or League Cup under Big Sam and 20/1 to qualify for Europe. Despite the arrival of a big name manager, it would appear that a big name player may be leaving the club. Hills offer 1/20 that Scott Parker has left the club before the first game of next season.

West Ham Odds:

Will West Ham win a cup (FA or League) under Allardyce: 16/1
Will they qualify for Europe Under Allardyce: 20/1
Will they be relegated (from Championship) under Allardyce: 16/1
Will they be promoted under Allardyce: 10/11
Scott Parker to still be at West Ham after summer transfer window: 1/20 No; 8/1 Yes
