Will They Stay Or Will They Go ?

WITH HARRY REDKNAPP encouraging speculation that Spurs are keen to sign Joe Cole, William Hill make the former Chelsea star 5/4 to join up with Harry at White Hart Lane.’Harry is not being over-subtle in trying to lure Joe to Spurs and he generally gets his man’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

As Prem kick-off approaches:
WHO’S GOING, WHO’S STAYING?

THE FUTURE of a number of high profile Premier League stars is still in doubt as the season looms large on the horizon following the end of the World Cup. William Hill have opened a book on whether Messrs Cole A; Fabregas, Gerarrd, Mascherano and Torres will stick or twist at their current clubs and make Mascherano the most likely to go, Gerrard the most likely to stay.
‘Decision-day must be approaching for all these players who can no longer hide behind the excuse of concentrating on the World Cup to explain why they have yet to commit themselves to staying where they are, or announcing they want to leave’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe,

Players To Still Be At Their Current Clubs On 1st Day Of Premiership Season:

Fernando Torres Yes 2/5 No 7/4
Steven Gerrard Yes 1/6 No 7/2
Javier Mascherano Yes 10/3 No 1/5
Ashley Cole Yes 1/2 No 6/4
Cesc Fabregas Yes 8/11 No Evs

England 16/1 For Next World Cup

Record £1 billion gamble on World Cup, but:
BOOKIES CELEBRATE AS FAVOURITES WIN WORLD CUP

DESPITE STARTING AS favourites to win the World Cup, Spain’s triumph produced a profitable return for bookmakers William Hill who say that the World Cup was the biggest gambling event of all time, attracting a record betting turnover of £1 billion.’Not even England’s unexpected early demise prevented the World Cup producing a record betting turnover and fortunately for us Spain’s early defeat by Switzerland seemed to dampen enthusiasm for backing them, which worked in our favour’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
HOWEVER, one Hill’s client who staked £50,000 on Spain at odds of 9/2 (four and a half to one) was celebrating a return of £275,000.

UNITED JOY FOR JOSE? YOU BET IT COULD HAPPEN……..

WILLIAM HILL make Jose Mourinho 3/1 favourite to succeed Sir Alex Ferguson as Manchester United manager as reports suggest that the former Chelsea boss is still interested in eventually taking over at Old Trafford.
But Hills believe Mourinho may not have to wait too long to realise his ambition – as they make 2011 11/10 favourite to be the year in which Sir Alex quits United. ‘Mourinho and Manchester United could be a marriage made in Heaven, or a recipe for disaster – it will be fun finding out which if it does happen’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WHEN WILL SIR ALEX FERGUSON CEASE TO BE MAN U BOSS?…..11/10 2011…..9/4 2012;…3/1 2010……8/1 2013+

Octopunters Squids In !

Octopus Paul’s Punters Squids In !

OCTOPUNTERS SUCKER BOOKIES FOR HALF A MILLION

BOOKMAKERS William Hill estimate that punters gambling on Paul the Psychic Octopus’s World Cup selections have won up to half a million pounds from the betting industry with their wagers.
‘Paul’s incredible Octop-eight winning selections have won any punter who bet £10 on each one of them almost £200 each, while punters far-sighted enough to keep re-investing their winnings on the next selection all the way through will have won at odds in excess of 300/1 – and there are thousands who are squids-in thanks to the psychic cepholopod’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
‘Picking all of Germany’s victories, their two defeats, and Spain’s World Cup final triumph was one of the finest tipping feats ever’ added Sharpe, ‘We can but hope Paul has gone to a rest home for retired octopii by the time the next World Cup gets underway. Fortunately for us, though, there were plenty of punters who ignored Paul’s tips, and they have contributed an excellent profit for us on a record betting turnover for a sporting event of £1 billion’

HOWARD WEBB, who was backed down from 6/4 to 4/11 to take charge of the World Cup Final, is more likely to award a penalty than to send a player off in normal time at the Final, say bookmakers William Hill who offer 3/1 about the former, and 7/2 the latter. ‘Webb was well backed to get the Final,so he is the only Englishman to cost us any sort of World Cup payout’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WILLIAM HILL believe it is now an odds-on shot that goal-line technology will be in place when the next World Cup Finals get underway in 2014. ‘Having offered 5/1 about it happening after the Lampard fiasco we are now going 1/2 that it will be a done deal when the next Finals kick off’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

**A William Hill telephone betting client could collect £275,000 for a £50,000 bet on Spain to win the World Cup at 9/2.

**Another Hill’s shop punter in Essex placed a £250 treble on Rafa Nadal and Serena Williams to win their respective Wimbledon singles tournaments, running on to Holland – and will collect £30,000 if the Dutch oblige.

OCTOPUS PAUL’S MAGNIFICENT SEVEN IS 200/1 HEADACHE FOR BOOKIES

PUNTERS WHO HAVE backed all of Paul the Octopus’s SEVEN successive winners are now just under £100 better off if they have staked £10 on each of his selections, and £2000 better off if they have reinvested their winnings on the next selection every time, say bookmakers William Hill – and if Spain win the Final, as also predicted by Paul, those profits will increase to just over £100 and to £3000 respectively.
‘Even Frankie Dettori only managed seven straight winners in what is recognised as the best ever feat of jockeyship when he rode all seven winners at Ascot in 1996 – Paul could put that winning streak to shame’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘If Spain win tomorrow we can only hope he never predivts another result until at least 2014 when the next World Cup takes place’

50m Final Set To Seal £1bn World Cup Gamble

£50 MILLION FINAL SET TO SEAL £1 BILLION RECORD WORLD CUP GAMBLE

DESPITE England’s absence from the latter stages of the tournament British football fans are set to help swell the betting turnover on the World Cup towards a record £1 billion, while £50million is expected to be staked on Sunday’s Final between Holland and hot favourites Spain.
‘After England crashed out, patriotic football fans had to transfer their affections elsewhere – and they seem to have done so by placing bets on their adopted second favourite country. With England gone, they no longer had automatic loyalty to one country and therefore have used a bet to enhance their enjoyment of matches. And the enormous coverage given to Paul the Psychic Octopus has also kept the tournament in punters’ sights, so we expect a record industry betting turnover for both the Final and the tournament with £1bn and £50m respectively staked’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
SPAIN are 4/7 favourites with William Hill to be crowned as World Champions – thus justifying Paul the Psychic Octopus’ predicition – with Holland the 6/4 outsiders.

**A William Hill Manchester betting shop client stands to collect £424,000 if David Villa, now 8/11 favourite to do so, ends up as tournament top scorer after placing a £30,000 double on Holland to win their Group at 4/7, with Villa at 8/1.

Spanish Odds On Drift As Punters Go Dutch

*********WILLIAM HILL WORLD CUP SPECIALS**********

SPANISH ODDS ON THE DRIFT AS PUNTERS GO DUTCH
WITH PUNTERS APPARENTLY reluctant to back Spain to beat the Dutch in the World Cup Final, William Hill are to lengthen their 90 minutes odds to an industry-leading 6/5 for online and telephone clients from 7a.m on Friday morning. ‘Despite already taking bets of £10,000, £25,000 and £50,000 for Spain to win the World Cup, we cannot now seem to persuade punters to back Spain to beat the Dutch in 90 minutes, so, as they are a seven figure winner for us we are trying to tempt punters to support them – hopefully Paul the Octopus will tip them to help us out!’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

A William Hill Manchester betting shop client stands to collect £424,000 if David Villa, now 8/11 favourite to do so, ends up as tournament top scorer after placing a £30,000 double on Holland to win their Group at 4/7, with Villa at 8/1.

Another Hill’s shop punter in Essex placed a £250 treble on Rafa Nadal and Serena Williams to win their respective Wimbledon singles tournaments, running on to Holland – and will collect £30,000 if the Dutch oblige.

‘It has been a good World Cup for bookies thus far, with 52% favs winning , 27% draws and 21% underdogs, which doesn’t sound that great, except that the high turnover matches have tended to go our way – not least the England matches, and the Germany-Spain semi in which there were bets of 500,000 and 75,000 euros on a German win’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WILLIAM HILL now make Spain 4/7 favourites to win the World Cup, with Holland offered at 6/4.
Hills make Spain 6/5 to win in 90m with Holland 13/5 and the draw 11/5. (PRICES AVAILABLE FROM 7A.M.)

Hills offer 9/2 that the Final will go to a penalty shoot-out; Holland are 10/1 to win by that method, with Spain also quoted at 10/1. Holland are 11/1 to win in extra time, with Spain 9/1 to do likewise.

DAVID VILLA is 8/11 to end up as World Cup top scorer with Hills who also offer 5/2 Sneijder; 4 Klose; 14 Muller; 16 Forlan; 100 Suarez.

VAN BOMMEL FOR BOOKING?
WILLIAM HILL have cut their price for Van Bommel to be booked during the Final (90m play) from 9/4 to 13/8 after taking a string of bets of up to £600 a time on the tough tackling Dutchman to fall foul of the referee.

REPEAT FOR PUYOL?
AFTER Carles Puyol headed Spain to victory against Germany, William Hill offer 25/1 that he will score again from a header during 90m play of the Final.

FERNANDO PENALTY?
WILLIAM HILL offer 12/1 that Torres will win a penalty.(90m play)
ARJEN ROBBEN is 13/2 with Hills to score from outside the box.(90m play)
