You Bet Footballs Not Coming Home
The World Cup 2018 and 2022 bids host cities are being decided on 2nd December 2010 and William Hill make Russia the Even money favourite for 2018 and Qatar the 4/9 favourite for 2022. Englands bid for 2018 had been as short as 1/3, however, since the cash-for-votes was exposed, the price has drifted out to 13/8.
Having seemed destined at one point to have the World Cup on our doorstep, it now seems a trek to Russia will be in order in 2018, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

2018: 1/1 Russia; 13/8 England; 11/4 Portugal & Spain; 50/1 Belgium & Holland
