Dan The Man And How Many Goals Will England Euro Top Scorer Notch ?

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

TWO GOALS AGAINST DUTCH – THREE IN ENTIRE EURO FINALS?

WILLIAM HILL have opened a book on how many goals England’s top scorer in the Euro finals will score and make THREE their 2/1 favourite, with TWO a 9/4 chance and ONE, the ‘winner’ in the last World Cup, a 7/2 shot. ‘Whoever manages the side in the Euros will need to prioritise his strikers pretty quickly as, at the moment, there are several contenders to start up front in the opening game to stake a claim for a permanent place in the side’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

And Hills make Wayne Rooney and Danny Welbeck their 11/2 joint favourites to top score for the country innthe tournament.

DAN THE MAN?

William Hill are betting on which Dan – Sturridge or Welbeck, will score more goals and play more minutes during the Euro finals – and reckon Welbeck is likely to outdo Sturridge in both areas. ‘The two Dans are amongst our most promising players and it will be very interesting to see which of the two enjoys the better tournament’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Pearce’s “old” Boys Could Feature In Future If He Gets Permanent Role

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

Stuart Pearce allowed Stewart Downing to take the Press Conference for England today and William Hill make the Liverpool winger 33/1 to be England’s captain for their first Euro 2012 game (the same price as Rio Ferdinand). James Milner holds the record for most under 21 appearances, many of which were under Pearce and he is 14/1 to be given the captain’s armband for the France game. Steven Gerrard is the 10/11 favourite although there is a suggestion that should Pearce be in charge at the Euros, he will turn to a number of his U21 stalwarts. Micah Richards is 5/2 to start England’s first game of the tournament, with Kyle Walker 7/4, Danny Welbeck 4/6 and Daniel Sturridge 8/11.

“Pearce knows a lot of these players from his U21 days and he certainly would not have called them up if he thought they would not be up to task,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Frazier Campbell has impressed since returning to action following a year on the touchline and he could mark his miraculous return to form with an England cap. William Hill make him 1/4 to make any form of appearance on Wednesday (11/4 to remain unused).

The match against Holland will be a good test for England against a side who must be confident of reaching the latter stages of the Euros and Hills are offering 12/1 that they meet in the tournament and England qualify.

England Captain for Euro 2012 game vs France: 10/11 Steven Gerrard; 7/4 Scott Parker; 11/2 Joe Hart; 10/1 Frank Lampard; 14/1 Gareth Barry; 14/1 James Milner; 20/1 Ashley Cole; 33/1 Rio Ferdinand; 33/1 Stewart Downing

England vs Holland goal scorer match bet: 10/3 Daniel Sturridge; 10/3 Danny Welbeck; 4/7 tie
*both must start or bets void

Frazier Campbell to make his debut: 1/4 yes; 11/4 no
*Debut counts as minutes played, even as a substitute

To start for England vs France at Euro 2012:

Micah Richards: 5/2 yes; 2/7 no
Glen Johnson: 8/11 yes; 1/1 no
Danny Welbeck: 4/6 yes; 11/10 no
Daniel Sturridge: 8/11 yes; 1/1 no
Kyle Walker: 7/4 yes; 2/5 no

Next permanent England manager: 4/9 Harry Redknapp; 6/1 Stuart Pearce; 7/1 Pep Guardiola; 11/1 Guus Hiddink; 12/1 BAR

FA Trophy: Luton Favs As They Draw Bogey Team

Despite drawing bogey side, York, Luton are the 6/4 favourites to win the FA Trophy, with William Hill making York and Newport 9/4 shots with Wealdstone 8/1 outsiders. Hills think that the final will be contested by Luton and Newport County, offering odds of 5/4 that these two line up at Wembley on the 20th May.

FA Trophy Winner: 6/4 Luton; 9/4 York; 9/4 Newport; 8/1 Wealdstone

FA Trophy – Nominate the finalist: 5/4 Luton/Newport County; 13/8 York/Newport County; 5/1 Luton/Wealdstone; 6/1 York/Wealdstone

Youngster Kyle To Wait A While To Walker On For England

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

Kyle Walker is in line to make his England debut but the odds suggest that if the call to make an appearance does arrive, it will have to come off the bench. He is 5/2 with William Hill to start against Denmark on Wednesday while Glen Johnson is 1/4 to feature as Capello’s starting right-back. Fabio Capello has stated that Jack Wilshere is the future of the England team and he is 2/7 to start.

“There is no doubting Kyle Walker’s potential, but his call up has come very early in his career. Two weeks ago, we were still offering odds of 5/1 that Walker would win a cap within the next two years,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

A lot of attention will be focused on Capello’s strikers with Wayne Rooney likely to lead the line. The Man United striker is 4/1 to score first, while Hills are offering 9/5 that he scores at any time and England win. Tottenham appear to be the most likely Premier League side to provide England’s first scorer at 15/8, while Aston Villa are 9/4.

William Hill Denmark/England Odds:

21/10 Denmark; 13/10 England; 11/5 Draw

4/1 Any England Substitute to score

England First Goalscorer: 4/1 Wayne Rooney; 5/1 Peter Crouch; 11/2 Darren Bent; 11/2 Jermaine Defoe; 15/1 Gabriel Agbonlahor; 8/1 Frank Lampard; 8/1 Steven Gerrard; 8/1 Theo Walcott; 9/1 James Milner; 9/1 Ashley Young; 10/1 Aaron Lennon; 14/1 Jack Wilshere; 16/1 Stuart Downing; 20/1 Scott Parker; 25/1 Ashley Cole; 25/1 Glen Johnson; 25/1 Gareth Barry; 33/1 Gary Cahill; 33/1 Joleon Lescott; 33/1 Phil Jagielka; 33/1 John Terry; 33/1 Rio Ferdinand; 33/1 Kyle Walker; 40/1 Leighton Baines; 40/1 Michael Dawson

9/5 Wayne Rooney to score at anytime and England to win
5/2 Jermaine Defoe to score at anytime and England to win
11/5 Peter Crouch to score anytime and England to win
5/2 Darren Bent to score at anytime and England to win
18/5 Gabriel Agbonlahor to score anytime and England to win

Kyle Walker: 5/2 Yes; 2/7 No
Michael Dawson: 4/7 Yes; 5/4 No
