HODGSON’S HERO: FIT AGAIN BENT 4/1 TO MAKE EUROS…HILL’S PREDICT FANTASTIC PREM FINALE

Darren Bent has been declared fit for the Euros and William Hill make the Villa man 4/1 to make Roy Hodgson’s 23 man squad (1/7 not to).

“In his pomp, Darren Bent is one of the best natural finishers in world football, although whether Hodgson will risk taking a player who has barely turned out for his club in 2012 remains to be seen,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Bent is 25/1 to secure the Euros Golden Boot, with Wayne Rooney at the same price and Danny Welbeck, Daniel Sturridge and Steven Gerrard at 33/1.

EVERYTHING UP FOR GRABS ON CLOSEST LAST DAY EVER

With the title, top four and relegation all to be decided on the final day of the season, William Hill have opened a market on which teams will fill the all important spots in the table. They offer 5/4 that City win the League, Arsenal grab the last definite Champions League spot (in third), and Bolton are the unlucky side who are relegated.

“This Premier League season has been nip and tuck from day one and it seems only fitting that there should be so much up for grabs on the final day,” said Crilly.

Will Darren Bent make the England Euros Squad: 4/1 yes; 1/7 no

To win the Premier League, Finish Third and be Relegated:

5/4 Man City; Arsenal; Bolton
10/3 Man City Tottenham; Bolton
7/2 Man City; Arsenal; QPR
8/1 Man City; Tottenham; QPR
9/1 Man Utd; Arsenal; Bolton
18/1 Man Utd; Tottenham; Bolton;
50/1 Man City; Newcastle; Bolton
100/1 Man City; Newcastle; QPR
200/1 Man Utd; Newcastle; Bolton

Tevez 7/2 To Make Scoring Return From The Bench…

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

Carlos Tevez could make an astonishing comeback for Manchester City against Chelsea on Wednesday and William Hill are offering 7/2 that he comes off the bench and grabs himself a goal. Tevez is 5/4 to score anytime during the game and 5/1 to score the first goal of the game. Hills think that should he make a comeback for City this season he will more than likely be firing blanks, offering 11/10 that he scores no goals for the rest of the season.

On the other side on Wednesday will be Fernando Torres who grabbed a brace on Sunday and William Hill are offering Even money that he fails to score for at least two hours from the time of his last goal on Sunday (currently stands at 5 minutes).

Tevez to come off bench and score: 7/2 – void if he starts and void if not on bench
Tev goals rest of season: 11/10 none; 5/2 one; 4/12 two; 4/1 three or more

How long until Torres’ next goal: 7/2 0-60 minutes; 5/2 61-120 minutes; 5/1 121-180 minutes; 1/1 180 minutes or more

Who will score more EPL goals between now until the end of the season:
2/9 Torres; 3/1 Tevez
8/11 Torres; 1/1 Carroll

England 7/4 To Win Group G With Games To Spare

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

Bookmakers William Hill are offering a number of specials about how England will fare in their Euro 2012 group. Hills offer 4/1 that England get maximum points from their remaining fixtures and 5/4 that they fall just short with 19-21 points. They are 7/4 to score between 19 and 21 goals and 9/2 to score 22 or more goals. Hills think that Group G is going to be incredibly tight and offer 7/4 that England win the group with games to spare, but 2/5 that they do not.

Jermaine Defoe is currently England’s leading scorer in Euro 2012 qualifiers with three and Hills go 5/4 that he ends the campaign as top marksman. Darren Bent is 6/4 second favourite, while Lampard and Rooney are 6/1 and 7/1 respectively.

“”England are top of their group and while they are expected to qualify, the odds suggest that it will be closer than many would expect,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

England are 2/5 to win the match at Wembley with Switzerland 6/1. The draw is priced at 14/5. Hills also offer 3/1 that any England substitute scores a goal. Darren Bent is the 10/3 favourite to open the scoring on Saturday, with Peter Crouch 9/2, joint second favourite with Bobby Zamora.

England are 8/1 to win Euro 2012 and 12/1 to win the competition without losing a game either in qualifying or the finals themselves.

With Wayne Rooney banned for the England match against Switzerland, William Hill are betting on which of the three forwards in the squad will start the game. Darren Bent is 1/7 while Peter Crouch is 1/4. Bobby Zamora is 11/4. The central midfield is another position that is up for grabs during the match and Hills make Scott Parker, Frank Lampard and Jack Wilshere all odds on to start, with Capello thought to be considering three men across the middle. Parker is 4/9, while Lampard is 1/10 and Jack Wilshere 4/11.

To Start vs Switzerland:
Peter Crouch 1/4 Yes; 11/4 No
Darren Bent 1/7 Yes; 4/1 No
Bobby Zamora 11/4 Yes; 1/4 No
Scott Parker 4/9 Yes; 13/8 No
Frank Lampard 1/10 Yes; 11/2 No
Jack Wilshere 4/11 Yes; 2/1 No

Euro 2012 Outright: 3/1 Spain; 4/1 Germany; 6/1 Holland; 8/1 England; 10/1 Italy; 10/1 France; 16/1 Portugal; 20/1 Russia; 25/1 Croatia; 33/1 Ukraine; 40/1 Poland; 50/1 BAR

Odds Hint At 4-3-3 For England This Weekend…will Sam Be The Man For West Ham?

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

With Wayne Rooney banned for the England match against Switzerland, William Hill are betting on which of the three forwards in the squad will start the game. Darren Bent is 1/7 while Peter Crouch is 1/4. Bobby Zamora is 11/4. The central midfield is another position that is up for grabs during the match and Hills make Scott Parker, Frank Lampard and Jack Wilshere all odds on to start, with Capello thought to be considering three men across the middle. Parker is 4/9, while Lampard is 1/10 and Jack Wilshere 4/11.

“Parker and Wilshere impressed against Wales and it looks as they will be rewarded by starting on Saturday. Lampard also looks like he will start alongside the pair as Capello seeks to use the 4-3-3 that has proved effective in recent matches,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

England are 2/5 to win the match at Wembley with Switzerland 6/1. The draw is priced at 14/5. Hills also offer 3/1 that any England substitute scores a goal. Darren Bent is the 10/3 favourite to open the scoring on Saturday, with Peter Crouch 9/2, joint second favourite with Bobby Zamora.

England are 8/1 to win Euro 2012 and 12/1 to win the competition without losing a game either in qualifying or the finals themselves.

To Start vs Switzerland:
Peter Crouch 1/4 Yes; 11/4 No
Darren Bent 1/7 Yes; 4/1 No
Bobby Zamora 11/4 Yes; 1/4 No
Scott Parker 4/9 Yes; 13/8 No
Frank Lampard 1/10 Yes; 11/2 No
Jack Wilshere 4/11 Yes; 2/1 No

Euro 2012 Outright: 3/1 Spain; 4/1 Germany; 6/1 Holland; 8/1 England; 10/1 Italy; 10/1 France; 16/1 Portugal; 20/1 Russia; 25/1 Croatia; 33/1 Ukraine; 40/1 Poland; 50/1 BAR

William Hill are offering a number of West Ham specials, following the announcement that Sam Allardyce has taken over the reins at West Ham. He has been a relative success at almost every club that he has been at and Hills offer 10/11 that West Ham get promoted into the Premier League at any point during Allardyce’s time at the club. They are 16/1 to win either the FA or League Cup under Big Sam and 20/1 to qualify for Europe. Despite the arrival of a big name manager, it would appear that a big name player may be leaving the club. Hills offer 1/20 that Scott Parker has left the club before the first game of next season.

West Ham Odds:

Will West Ham win a cup (FA or League) under Allardyce: 16/1
Will they qualify for Europe Under Allardyce: 20/1
Will they be relegated (from Championship) under Allardyce: 16/1
Will they be promoted under Allardyce: 10/11
Scott Parker to still be at West Ham after summer transfer window: 1/20 No; 8/1 Yes

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

CHELSEA 5/6 TO FAIL TO WIN PREM TITLE THIS SEASON AND NEXT AFTER TRANSFER BAN

FACING A BAN on buying players, Chelsea, currently 6/5 favourites to win this season’s Premiership title with William Hill, are now being quoted at 5/6 by Hills to FAIL to win the title either THIS or NEXT season.
Hills offer Chelsea at 5/1 to win the title both this season and next, and spokesman Graham Sharpe said, ‘Chelsea will doubtless appeal against this decision and it may not be beyond them to find a way around any restriction on acquiring players, possibly via the loans system, so we can’t see it having a major effect on their title chances during this and next season’.
Chelsea are Even money with Hills to win none of the major trophies this season, and 150/1 to win all four.

WHO’LL START ENGLAND’S WORLD CUP QUALIFIER AGAINST CROATIA?
WILLIAM HILL have opened a book on whether specific players will start England’s forthcoming World Cup qualifier against Croatia next week. ‘There are still a few positions which look to be up for grabs, and maybe a positive display against Slovenia will lead to a surprise start against Croatia for one or two players.’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

William Hill: To start vs Croatia
Yes No
Crouch 7/4 2/5
Heskey 5/6 5/6
Beckham 8/13 6/5
Lennon 11/4 1/4
Wright Phillips 10/3 1/5
Lescott 5/6 5/6
Upson 5/6 5/6
