MARA-GONER?

You Bet: Diego Is Not A Mara-goner!

William Hill have opened betting on whether or not Diego Maradona will still be in charge of the Argentine national team when they play their friendly match against Ireland on the 11th of August.

The bookies make him a 4-7 chance to be in charge of the team to play Ireland, and 5-4 not to be.

Ireland’s match against Argentina will be the first soccer international at the new Aviva stadium in Dublin. The stadium was built to replace the old Lansdowne road which was demolished in 2007.

‘Maradona was given a heroes’ welcome on returning home to Buenos Aires, and we think the support he received from the public is likely to persuade him to stay on,’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe ‘However, we are talking about Diego Maradona – who what goes through his head at any given time.’

‘Maradona draws huge media attention wherever he goes – so it would be great news for Ireland and the new stadium sponsors if he stays in charge.’

Will Maradona still be in charge of Argentina for their match against Ireland on the 11th August: (William Hill bet): 4-7 Yes, 5-4 No

You Bet It Will Be Capello’s Kids Against Bulgaria

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

WOULD YOU BACK CAPELLO’S KIDS TO TAKE ON BULGARIA?

WITH THE average age of England’s line up in their final World Cup match against Germany an arthritic 29.18 years old, William Hill are betting on what it will be when they line up for their next competitive game, the opening Euro qualifier against Bulgaria.
‘It is all very well Fabio glibly suggesting he’ll be looking at new players but the crucial element in most fans’ minds will be the ages of those new players’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’We beliebe that there is every chance we’ll see a drop in the average age of four years or more and make 24.1- 25 our 5/2 favourite to be the average age.’

William Hill…..Average age of England’s starting XI v Bulgaria (1st Euro qualifier):

22 and Under…..25/1
22.1-23……9/1
23.1-24…..7/2
24.1-25…..5/2
25.1-26…..3/1
26.1-27……6/1
27.1-28……10/1
28.1 and Over…..16/1

HILLS HAVE ALSO OPENED A BOOK ON HOW MANY EURO QUALIFYING POINTS ENGLAND WILL TAKE FROM WALES…..’Disappointment for England in the Wales matches would attract huge criticism from fans and media, so these are two vital matches for Fabio – and we’re increasing the pressure by making them odds on at 8/15 to take all six points’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Hills……England Points v Wales in the Euro qualifiers:

6….8/15
4….5/2
3….8/1
2….25/1
1….40/1
0…..200/1

FABIO ODDS ON TO STICK AROUND UNTIL 2012

WILLIAM HILL now make 2012 their 8/11 favourite to be the year in which Fabio Capello ceases to be England manager.
Despite Capello hitning at bringing in new faces for the Hungary friendly Hills still make Rooney, Terry, Gerrard and Lampard odds-on shots to start the match. (See prices below). But Emile Heskey has already been backed to miss out, from 4/6 to 4/11 not to start.

HILLS have lengthened Harry Redknapp’s odds of becoming the next England manager from 13/8 to 9/4 favourite, but slashed Roy Hodgson from 6/1 to 11/4 second favourite. ‘Who knows what Harry’s fortunes will be once the job becomes vacant, but if Hodgson impresses at Anfield he could well be in just the right place at just the right time to take over if Capello departs in 2012’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
