ROONEY SPARKS £1 BILLION GAMBLE

PATRIOTIC PUNTERS backing England to bring the World Cup home have sparked the biggest gamble of all time, say bookmakers William Hill.
‘Over £1 billion will be gambled on the World Cup, making it bigger than the Grand National, General Election, Wimbledon , or Big Brother’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
And the nightmare scenario for bookies will be an England win – after a huge patriotic punt left betting shops facing mega payouts should England finally break their run of 44 years without a major trophy.
‘Despite Rio’s terrible injury we have been knocked over in the rush to back England to win the tournament at 8/1 today’added Sharpe.’Punters believe Rooney is the key to victory and are backing him to be England’s top scorer at 11/8 and the tournament’s top scorer at 10/1’
WILLIAM HILL make Spain 4/1 favourites to win the World Cup, and also offer 9/2 Brazil; 13/2 Argentina; 8/1 England; 10/1 Holland; 14/1 Germany; 16/1 Italy; 18/1 France.

GOODBYE, DARLING? YOU BET

WITH THE row over Alistair Darling’s ‘hell’ remarks still rumbling on, William Hill are offering odds of 9/4 that the Chancellor will retain a place in the cabinet/shadow cabinet following the first Labour re-shuffle after the forthcoming General Election. He is 1/3 not to be retained in the cabinet/shadow cabinet.
‘We think Alistair Darling is unlikely to be retained in either the cabinet or shadow cabinet following the Election despite recent public displays of friendship between him and Mr Brown’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

GAMBLE ON DARLING TO DO DIRTY ON BROWN

WITH RUMOURS that plotters in the Labour Party are planning an effort to remove Gordon Brown as Leader, William Hill have slashed their odds about Alastair Darling succeeding him from 66/1 to 33/1. ‘Political punters seem to believe that another effort to unseat Gordon Brown is on the verge of being launched and we have seen considerable betting interest in Alastair Darling taking over’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
And Hills have also cut their odds about Gordon Brown being forced out or resigning before the next general Election from 6/4 to 5/4, but make him 4/7 still to be Leader when the Election takes place.
Alan Johnson is 6/4 favourite to succeed Brown with Hills who also offer: 7/1 Harriet Harman; 7/1 David Miliband; 8/1 Peter Mandelson; 10/1 Ed Miliband; 12/1 Jon Cruddas; James Purnell; 16/1 Ed Balls; Andy Burnham; Jack Straw; 33/1 Alastair Darling.
