Will They Stay Or Will They Go ?

WITH HARRY REDKNAPP encouraging speculation that Spurs are keen to sign Joe Cole, William Hill make the former Chelsea star 5/4 to join up with Harry at White Hart Lane.’Harry is not being over-subtle in trying to lure Joe to Spurs and he generally gets his man’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

As Prem kick-off approaches:
WHO’S GOING, WHO’S STAYING?

THE FUTURE of a number of high profile Premier League stars is still in doubt as the season looms large on the horizon following the end of the World Cup. William Hill have opened a book on whether Messrs Cole A; Fabregas, Gerarrd, Mascherano and Torres will stick or twist at their current clubs and make Mascherano the most likely to go, Gerrard the most likely to stay.
‘Decision-day must be approaching for all these players who can no longer hide behind the excuse of concentrating on the World Cup to explain why they have yet to commit themselves to staying where they are, or announcing they want to leave’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe,

Players To Still Be At Their Current Clubs On 1st Day Of Premiership Season:

Fernando Torres Yes 2/5 No 7/4
Steven Gerrard Yes 1/6 No 7/2
Javier Mascherano Yes 10/3 No 1/5
Ashley Cole Yes 1/2 No 6/4
Cesc Fabregas Yes 8/11 No Evs

WEBB’S WORLD IS A WINNER

HOWARD WEBB, who was backed down from 6/4 to 4/11 to take charge of the World Cup Final, is more likely to award a penalty than to send a player off in normal time at the Final, say bookmakers William Hill who offer 3/1 about the former, and 7/2 the latter. ‘Webb was well backed to get the Final,so he is the only Englishman to cost us any sort of World Cup payout’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WILLIAM HILL WEBB SPECIALS
Howard Webb to award a penalty during normal time 3/1
Howard Webb to send a player off during normal time 7/2

GOAL LINE TECHNOLOGY NOW ODDS-ON FOR WORLD CUP, SAY BOOKIES

WILLIAM HILL believe it is now an odds-on shot that goal-line technology will be in place when the next World Cup Finals get underway in 2014. ‘Having offered 5/1 about it happening after the Lampard fiasco we are now going 1/2 that it will be a done deal when the next Finals kick off’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

William Hill…..Will goal line technology be in use for the first match of the 2014 World Cup Finals?

Yes 1/2
No 6/4

**A William Hill Manchester betting shop client stands to collect £424,000 if David Villa, now 8/11 favourite to do so, ends up as tournament top scorer after placing a £30,000 double on Holland to win their Group at 4/7, with Villa at 8/1.

**A William Hill telephone betting client could collect £275,000 for a £50,000 bet on Spain to win the World Cup at 9/2.

**Another Hill’s shop punter in Essex placed a £250 treble on Rafa Nadal and Serena Williams to win their respective Wimbledon singles tournaments, running on to Holland – and will collect £30,000 if the Dutch oblige.

**PUNTERS who have backed every Paul the Psychic Octopus tip so far are £84 better off by staking £10 to win on each one – and over £1000 if they reinvested winnings from each selection on to the next one!

GERMANS BACKED TO CAUSE PAIN IN SPAIN

WILLIAM HILL cut their odds about Germany eliminating Spain after heavy backing for them, including a single bet of 75,000 euros to do so at odds of Even money, which they have now shortened to 10/11.

GERMANY are William Hill’s least favoured winners of the World Cup. ‘We have a couple of hefty bets on the Germans – an 80,000 euros at 14/1 (which would win 1,120,000 euros); and another of 100,000 euros at 13/2 (which potentially wins 650,000 euros) – which mean that we’d rather see anyone else winning .’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

The biggest bet Hills have taken for Spain to win the World Cup is £10,000 at odds of 7/2 (potentially winning £35,000) in a Nottinghamshire betting shop.
