WLLIAM HILL offer 8/13 that Evra and Suarez will NOT shake hands pre-match at this weekend’s Manchester United v Liverpool Premier League match. ‘Assuming the FA does not decide to ban the pre-match handshake, we think the two will fail to sake hands’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

‘There is plenty of punting support about for Capello and Terry to miss out on the Euros – and we offer 11/1 that NEITHER of them will go’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

HILLS…TERRY TO BE IN FINAL EURO SQUAD….2/5 YES; 7/4 NO
CAPELLO STIL BOSS AT EUROS – 1/6 YES; 7/2 NO

LATEST WILLIAM HILL EURO 12 ODDS…….William Hill now make England 8/1 4th favourites to win Euro 12, with Spain 9/4 favourites, Germany 3/1 and Holland 7/1. ‘We have already seen Fabio’s resignation sparking a sudden outpouring of patriotic support for England to win the Euro tournament – fans appeared to have become rather disillusioned by the Italian’s lacklustre efforts in the job – we’d taken very little for them to win Euro 12 despite recently beating Spain, but all of a sudden cash is pouring in again’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills also offer 12/1 France; 14/1 Italy; 16/1 Russia.

78% Of Money Gambled Is For Harry To Be England Boss

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

78% OF MONEY GAMBLED IS FOR HARRY TO BE ENGLAND BOSS…..
BETTING support for Harry Redknapp has seen 78% of the cash William Hill have so far taken on the Next England Manager market since Capello resigned, gambled on the Spurs’ boss, with Stuart Pearce attracting 8.7% in second place, and Guus Hiddink 6.5% in third.
However, in terms of individual bets placed, Pearce is leading the way with 25% of bets struck, ahead of Hiddink in 2nd with 22% and Redknapp in third with 21%.
‘The discrepancy can probably be explained that Harry Redknapp is currently offered at odds of 4/11 ,which are unlikely to appeal to a gambler with a fiver in his or her pocket, whereas Pearce is quoted at 11/2 and Hiddink 12/1’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
WILLIAM HILL- NEXT PERMANENT ENGLAND BOSS- 4/11 Redknapp; 11/2 Pearce; 10 Mourinho; 12 Hiddink; Hodgson. Others on request.
