Do Football Gods Have More Heartbreak For England Fans In 2012?

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

2011 was hardly a vintage year for British football, highlighted by the lack of trinkets and nominations for the BBC Sports Personality, but William Hill think that 2012 could be different, offering 7/2 that any footballer wins the 2012 award. With the European Championships taking place in the Summer of 2012, Hills currently make England 7/1 to win the favourites behind Spain 9/4, Germany 7/2 and level with Holland. Germany’s Mario Gomez is the 7/1 favourite to be the tournament’s leading goalscorer just ahead of David Villa, currently out with a fractured leg, at 9/1. Hills also offer 250/1 that the competition’s final is contested between England and the Republic of Ireland.

“With the Euros taking place in an Olympic year, it will be very difficult for the England players to steal the limelight unless they were to win the tournament,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “We think that there are teams more well suited to winning and it could well be another season of heartbreak for English football fans.”

William Hill are also offering 11/4 that 2012 is the year that Sir Alex Ferguson finally steps down from his seat at Manchester United and having experienced tricky starts to their careers Hills offer 4/1 that Fernando Torres returns to Liverpool and 11/2 that Andy Carroll goes back to Newcastle. The record for goals in a Premier League game is 9 and Hills go 10/1 that this is broken in 2012, while 25/1 is offered for any player to break the record of five goals scored by an individual in a single game.

25/1 Fabio To Quit By Midnight Wednesday

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

FABIO 25/1 TO QUIT BEFORE MIDNIGHT WEDNESDAY

WITH FABIO Capello inviting England fans to boo his team on Wednesday and his ‘new look’ side’s performance sure to be savaged if they do not beat Hungary comfortably, William Hill offer 25/1 that Capello will quit before midnight tomorrow. ‘If the fans do take up his invitation to boo and the new look team is unimpressive the media will be ready to savage him again and that could be the final straw for Fabio’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. ‘And the FA would have a ready replacement in Martin O’Neill close at hand and free to take up the job – he’s 6/1 to become England manager as his next appointment.’
ENGLAND ARE 2/7 TO BEAT HUNGARY WITH HILLS WHO MAKE THE DRAW 4/1 AND A HUNGARIAN VICTORY 10/1.

HOW MAY WILL TURN UP FOR ENGLAND V HUNGARY?

WILLIAM HILL are betting on what official attendance for the England v Hungary friendly will be on Wednesday – and make 50,000-59,999 and 60,000-69,999 their 15/8 joint favourites. ‘The FA are hyping the potential turnout upwards while the media are doing the opposite, so it will be fascinating to see what the actual attendance will be’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

16/1 ENGLAND FRIENDLY LINE UP TO START NEXT COMPETITIVE MATCH

DESPITE Capello’s introduction of new blood into the squad for the friendly v Hungary, William Hill offer 16/1 that he will start with the same line up in the next competitive match v Bulgaria, as he opts for against the Hungarians. ‘The squad for this friendly could well prove to be a false dawn for those expecting a mass cull of the established players when Capello decides on his line up for the first Euro qualifier’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘And we certainly do not expect to see the same line up then – our best guess is that seven or eight who start v Hungary will also do so against Bulgaria.’

Greatest Ever Patriotic Punt

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

England-Germany to become biggest betting match EVER!
BOOKIES BRACED FOR £30m ‘GREATEST EVER PATRIOTIC GAMBLE’
THE WORLD CUP will become the biggest betting event of all time with over £1 billion gambled for the first time on any one tournament; and the country’s biggest bookies, William Hill say that England versus Germany on Sunday is sparking the greatest patriotic gamble they have ever seen.
‘The traditional rivalry between the two countries over the years has made it a certainty that up to £30 million will be at stake on the outcome.’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’There has also been a major10/1 patriotic gamble that England win the game, beat the Aussies in the 1 day cricket international, and either Lewis Hamilton or Jenson Button wins Sunday’s Grand Prix.’

‘If England do go through and meet Argentina in the next round that could be an even bigger betting game. Should England go all the way and win the World Cup bookies will have to shell out up to £50m, making it the grimmest day in bookmaking – currently a record held by Frankie Dettori’s seven race winning streak at Ascot in September 1996’

England fans are not only backing their heroes to win the biggest match they have ever contested – but are also betting on how many of the players will sing the national anthem; whether vuvuzelas will figure in after-match celebrations – and whether manager Fabio Capello will receive an honorary knighthood!

WILLIAM HILL ENGLAND-GERMANY/WORLD CUP SPECIALS…..
1/2 England to be allowed a beer by Fabio on the eve of the match; 6/4 not.
11/10 9 or more England players to sing/mime National Anthem pre-match.
6/4 Rooney to score his first goal in 1st 90m play.
2/1 Defoe to score again within first 90m play.
3/1 England player(s) to celebrate victory over Germany by blowing vuvuzela.
3/1 England to score first five penalties in shoot out.
9/2 Game to go to penalty shoot-out.
10/1 Fabio pictured drinking pint of beer.
10/1 England to win on penalty shoot-out.
16/1 Fabio given honorary knighthood.
25/1 Fabio to appear in tv beer commercial.

100/1 England to beat Germany 4-2
200/1 England to beat Germany 5-1.
1000/1 Fabio to become country’s most popular christian name.

**ENGLAND are 17/10 to win the game in 90m play with Germany 9/5, and the draw 2/1. It is 11/1 for England tp win during extra time, and 10/1 to do so as a result of a penalty shoot-out.
**William Hill expect to take bets from customers in a record 188 countries via the internet on the England-Germany game.
ENGLAND 3/1 FOR FIVE STAR PENALTY DISPLAY
WILLIAM HILL are offering 3/1 that England will score ALL of their first FIVE penalties in any shoot-out they take part in at the World Cup.
HILLS OFFER 9/2 THAT ENGLAND-GERMANY WILL BE DECIDED VIA A PENALTY SHOOT OUT, 10/1 THAT ENGLAND WIN BY THAT METHOD, 9/1 THAT GERMANY DO SO.
And Hills have opened a book on whether named players score their first spot-kicks in the first shoot-out they contest:
WILLIAM HILL…..PAYING THE PENALTY: ( prices to score)
Barry yes 1/3, no 9/4
Gerrard yes 1/3, no 9/4
Lampard yes 2/7, no 5/2
Milner yes 2/7, no 5/2
Rooney yes 1/3, no 9/4
ENGLAND FAVOURITES TO OUTDO ANDY MURRAY
WILLIAM HILL offer 4/7 that the England football team are still in the World Cup when Andy Murray is knocked out of Wimbledon – 5/4 that it happens the other way round! ‘There are no English players left in the Wimbledon tournament so Andy has already scored a win for Scotland over England – but now comes the big one – Andy to outlast the England football team.’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
DEVON PUNTER CREAMS OFF BIG WORLD CUP PROFITS
A mystery punter from Eastern Europe has won over £50,000 on a World Cup winning streak at William Hill in Tiverton. This makes him Hill’s biggest ever football winner in Devon. Having staked £3770 on Michael Dawson to score first in England’s dour 0-0 draw with Algeria at 25/1, the mystery man claimed back his stake due to Dawson not playing. He promptly placed the whole £3770 on Wesley Sneijder to score first for Holland against Japan at 6/1 and Paraguay to beat Slovakia at 10/11 – both at the weekend. This won the man £50,380.91. He then proceeded to reinvest £11,000 of this on England to win against Slovenia winning him a further £4,440 taking his winning streak to well over £50,000.
**BY CONTRAST, a William Hill telephone betting client was deprived of a potential £360,000 payout from an accumulator bet on Group outcomes when Italy failed to qualify from their Group.

Fabio Backed To Go Before End Of World Cup

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

PUNTERS BET FABIO WILL BE OUT BEFORE END OF WORLD CUP

WILLIAM HILL have slashed their odds for Fabio Capello to be an ex-England manager before the end of the World Cup from 10/3 to 2/1 after a rush of bets for the Italian to walk away or be sacked during the tournament.
‘We had to slash the odds rapidly as punters poured cash on Fabio to go – noone at all wanted to take the current odds of 4/11 that he will still be in place when the World Cup is over – as far as England fans are concerned it is now a case of when will Fabi-go rather than if he will go’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
ALTHOUGH Roy Hodgson is being linked with the Liverpool job, William Hill believe he would be a leading candidate should Fabio Capello’s World Cup end in early elimination and dismissal or resignation as England boss.
Hills have installed Hodgson and Harry Redknapp as 3/1 joint favourites to succeed Capello as England boss; ‘Many people believe Hodgson should have got the job when Sven beat him to it and little that has happened since suggests that the Fulham boss wouldn;t have made a worse job of England than those who have since held the post’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
**Capello is 10/3 with Hills to cease to be England boss before the end of the World Cup.

WILLIAM HILL…TO SUCCEED FABIO AS PERMANENT ENGLAND BOSS:

Hodgson 3/1
Redknapp 3/1
Mourinho 5/1
Wenger 10/1
Pearce 10/1
Shearer 33/1
Beckham 50/1

YOU BET ROONEY WILL BE SORRY AGAIN!

WAYNE ROONEY is 6/1 with William Hill to have to issue ANOTHER official apology for some trangression during England’s game against Slovenia. ‘After the booing incident, for which he had had to formally apologise, we wouldn’t be surprised if there was another incident of similar type should England under-perform again on Wednesday’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. Hills have already cut their odds for Rooney to be red-carded in the game against Slovenia from 33/1 to 20/1.

WILLIAM HILL ARE BETTING ON WHETHER ANDY MURRAY WILL BE KNOCKED OUT OF WIMBLEDON BEFORE ENGLAND GO OUT OF THE WORLD CUP – AND OFFER 4/7 THAT MURRAY WILL BE THE FIRST TO GO OUT, 5/4 THAT IT WILL BE ENGLAND.
