UNITED BACK IN CHAMPIONS LEAGUE? YOU BET IT COULD HAPPEN

A THREAT by FIFA which could see all Swiss clubs banned from all international football has seen William Hill offering odds of 16/1 that Manchester United will be reinstated in the Champions League.
‘FIFA are trying to kill off FC Sion’s long running legal case against them and has reportedly threatened to ban all Swiss teams from international competition if it isn;t resolved by January – which could just open the door for United, who finished behind FC Basel to be reinstated’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
United are currently 11/2 second favourites for the Europa League.

WILLIAM HILL PAY OUT ON POPPY COMPROMISE……

WITH FIFA reportedly permitting England to play against Spain wearing armbands with the poppy emblem on them, bookmakers William Hill, who were betting on whether they would be allowed to sport the poppy during the game or not, are paying out to those who bet that they would, (at odds of 1/6 to 1/8) and also to those who bet they wouldn’t at odds of up to 9/2. ‘This is a classic compromise by FIFA, allowing both sides to claim victory and deny defeat, and as a case can be made for those who bet either yes or no to be winners we have decided to pay out to both.’ said William Hill spokesman Graham Sharpe.
AND WILLIAM HILL HAVE ALSO ANNOUNCED THAT THEY WILL BE HANDING OVER A £5000 PAYMENT TO THE ROYAL BRITISH LEGION POPPY APPEAL. ‘We said we’d give the Poppy appeal our winnings – but as we are paying out on both options there won’t be any! So we have decided to make a donation of £5000 to the Appeal instead’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WM HILL POPPY SPECIALS STILL AVAILABLE:

PLAYER TO SCORE AND REVEAL A POPPY ON UNDER-SHIRT – 7/2 YES – 1/6 NO
ANY ENGLAND PLAYER ON THE PITCH TO HAVE DYED RED HAIR – 10/1 YES 1-33 NO
ANY PLAYER TAKING PART WITH POPPY DESIGN HAIRCUT – 20/1

You Bet Blatter Looks To Splatter Bernstein

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

Sepp Blatter looks set to be awarded another four years in charge of FIFA and William Hill are offering 4/6 that he serves the whole of his term and FIFA get a new President in 2015. FIFA are 9/4 to get a new President in 2011. One of the most contentious decisions under Blatter was the awarding of the 2022 World Cup to Qatar. Despite the fact that the temperatures usually soar into the 40s during the summer in Qatar, Hills offer 1/5 that the 2022 World Cup Final takes place between June and August of that year.

David Berstein has been particularly scathing in his appraisal of FIFA and Blatter. Hills offer 2/7 that the FIFA chief now outlasts the FA Chairman. Blatter is 5/2 to leave his job before Bernstein.

“The FIFA / FA row looks set to rumble on, but Blatter now looks to have the upper hand once more and the odds suggest he will outlast this latest controversy,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Odds:

When will FIFA get a new President: 9/4 2011; 7/1 2012; 10/1 2013; 12/1 2014; 4/6 2015

When will 2022 World Cup Final take place: 7/1 Jan – May; 1/5 June – Aug; 5/1 Sept – Dec

Who will leave their job first: 2/7 Bernstein; 5/2 Blatter
