William Hill are gearing up for a potential £100m tournament with the European Championships just around the corner. Hills offered 16/1 on England (now 10/1) on Saturday and added to their liabilities of over £1m on the Three Lions, while punters have also been backing Spain (11/4), Germany (3/1) , Holland (13/2) and France (10/1).

We are incredibly excited about this tournament and so are our punters, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly. In fact, we alone are expecting to take £100m across all channels throughout the course of the Euros.

Germanys Mario Gomez is the 8/1 favourite to win the Golden boot and given the expansive way in which the energetic and youthful German side play, they could well reach the Final (6/4) and score plenty of goals along the way. Gomez is followed in the betting by 10/1 Robin van Persie and 12/1 Cristiano Ronaldo, who had two of the most remarkable goalscoring records in world football last season. Being banned for the first two matches of the tournament, Wayne Rooney is 33/1 to end the tournament as top goalscorer while Thomas Muller, who won the Golden Boot at the 2010 World Cup, is 25/1 to do the same in Poland and Ukraine.

England are 13/8 to be eliminated at the group stage and 15/8 to go out in the quarter finals but should there be an early exit for Roys boys, all English eyes will turn to one man. Howard Webb is 10/1 to referee the Final, while Scotlands Craig Thompson is the same price.

Keane On Brink As Messi Tops Champions League Top Scorer Market

September 25, 2009 Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments Anelka, Benzema, Champions League Top Scorer, Drogba, Early Exit, Fb, Gerrard, Grafite, Graham Sharpe, Hat Trick, Latter Stages, League Game, Midweek, Outsiders, Raoul, Rapid Turnaround, Ronaldo, Rooney, Roy Keane, Standard Liege, William Hill

WILL IPSWICH FANS STAY KEANE ON ROY?
WITH IPSWICH struggling without a win in the Championship relegation zone, William Hill are offering odds of 5/6 that Roy Keane will cease to be their manager before the end of the season, and 5/6 that he is still in place on the final day of the campaign. ‘Keane was greeted like a conquering hero when he arrived at the club but there are reports of the side being booed off in recent matches and without a win to show for their efforts so far Roy needs a rapid turnaround in form if he is to avoid an ignominious early exit. As our odds suggest we believe that it could go either way for him’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills have cut Ipswich to 8/1 to be relegated from 40/1 at the start of the season. ‘Everyone is assuming that they are too good and have too much money to go down. But the fate of Leeds, Norwich and Southampton suggests that that’s not certain to be the case’ said Sharpe.

MESSI HEADS CHAMPIONS LEAGUE TOP SCORER MARKET

WOLFSBURG striker Grafite, who hit a hat trick in his side’s Champions League game in midweek, is now 7/1 second favourite with William Hill to end up as the Champions League top scorer – for which Hills make Messi 13/2 favourite, and also offer: 8/1 Ronaldo; Torres; 9 Benzema; 10 Ibrahimovic; 14 Anelka; Eto’o; Rooney; 20 Drogba; Gerrard; Henry; Raoul. ‘Grafite leads the way, but as 80/1 shots his club may not be around in the latter stages of the tournament. We expect one of the big names to end up as top scorer in the competition’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

**AFTER Arsenal came back from two down to beat Standard Liege, William Hill make them 9/1 to win the Champions League – and 33/1 to meet Chelsea in an all London Final.
**HILLS MAKE ARSENAL 3/1 THIRD FAVOURITES TO GO FURTHEST OF THE PREM TEAMS, WITH CHELSEA 7/4 FAVOURITES; MAN U 9/4 AND LIVERPOOL 10/3 OUTSIDERS.
**William Hill offer 11/10 that a British team will win the Champions League and 3/1 that it will have an all Brit final. Barcelona are now 4/1 favourites to win the Champions League with William Hill who also offer 9/2 Real Madrid; 5/1 Chelsea; 7/1 Man U; 8/1 Inter; 9/1 Arsenal; 10/1 Liverpool; 22/1 Bayern- Juventus; 33 AC, Lyon, Sevilla; 66 Atletico Madrid; 80 Wolfsburg.
**RANGERS ARE 13/8 TO QUALIFY, 4/9 NOT TO, AND 250/1 TO WIN THE TOURNAMENT.
20/1 CHAMPIONSHIP BIG THREE TO BOUNCE BACK
WILLIAM HILL make West Brom, Middlesbro and Newcastle, the three relegated sides from the Premiership, 20/1 to bounce straight back at the first attempt.
Hills make WBA 11/4 favourites for the title and also offer 4/1 Middlesbro; Newcastle; 8 Sheff U; 9 Cardiff; 20 Leicester; Preston.
