7/2 COLE OUT

WILLIAM Hill offer 7/2 that Ashley Cole will NOT start for England in their forthcoming friendly against Hungary following latest tabloid revelations – and Hills have pushed his Sports Personality of the Year odds out to 500/1, the longest price ever quoted for an England football international. ‘Ashley is hardly likely to win many popularity contests in England at the moment and Fabio may decide to take him out of the firing line for the friendly’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Ashley Cole to start for England in the friendly v Hungary: 1/6 Yes 7/2 No

Ashley Cole to still be a Chelsea player on 1 September 2010(Loan deals count as leaving): ‘11/4 No 1/4 Yes

2-1 HOLLAND TO WIN WORLD CUP; HOLLAND 66/1 TO WIN WORLD CUP 2-1,2-1!!

HOLLAND have won their last three World Cup games, and William Hill now make the World Cup 2/1 shots 66/1to win both the semi final and final 2-1(including e-t, but not pen shoot-outs).
Hills also offer 10/3 that Holland will win both the semi final and final in 90 minutes play to complete a perfect record of seven straight 90 minutes play wins in the tournament.

Holland to win both of their 2 remaining games in 90 minutes: 10/3

Holland to win both of their 2 remaining games 2-1 in 90m play/e-t.: 66/1.

COME ON ANYONE BUT GERMANY!

GERMANY are William Hill’s least favoured winners of the World Cup. ‘We have a couple of hefty bets on the Germans – an 80,000 euros at 14/1; and another of 100,000 euros at 13/2 – which mean that we’d rather see any of the other three winning .’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. ‘Uruguay would be our preferred outcome, followed by Spain and Holland in that order’

SPAIN REGAIN WORLD CUP FAVOURITISM

HAVING been displaced at different times by Brazil, Argentina, Holland and Germany, Euro champions Spain have regained favouritism for the World Cup with William Hill, who quote them at 15/8 to lift the trophy.
Hills make Holland 2/1 joint second favourites with Germany, and make Uruguay the 12/1 outsiders.’Punters have deserted Spain in the outright market recently and they are currently a very good winner for us, whereas a Germany victory would prove costly’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

HILLS…TO PROGRESS…8/11 Spain v Evens Germany (90m – 19/10 Germany; 21/10 draw; 6/4 Spain)
12/5 Uruguay v 3/10 Germany (90m – 11/2 Uruguay; 12/5 draw; 8/13 Holland)

You Bet It Will Be Capello’s Kids Against Bulgaria

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

WOULD YOU BACK CAPELLO’S KIDS TO TAKE ON BULGARIA?

WITH THE average age of England’s line up in their final World Cup match against Germany an arthritic 29.18 years old, William Hill are betting on what it will be when they line up for their next competitive game, the opening Euro qualifier against Bulgaria.
‘It is all very well Fabio glibly suggesting he’ll be looking at new players but the crucial element in most fans’ minds will be the ages of those new players’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’We beliebe that there is every chance we’ll see a drop in the average age of four years or more and make 24.1- 25 our 5/2 favourite to be the average age.’

William Hill…..Average age of England’s starting XI v Bulgaria (1st Euro qualifier):

22 and Under…..25/1
22.1-23……9/1
23.1-24…..7/2
24.1-25…..5/2
25.1-26…..3/1
26.1-27……6/1
27.1-28……10/1
28.1 and Over…..16/1

HILLS HAVE ALSO OPENED A BOOK ON HOW MANY EURO QUALIFYING POINTS ENGLAND WILL TAKE FROM WALES…..’Disappointment for England in the Wales matches would attract huge criticism from fans and media, so these are two vital matches for Fabio – and we’re increasing the pressure by making them odds on at 8/15 to take all six points’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Hills……England Points v Wales in the Euro qualifiers:

6….8/15
4….5/2
3….8/1
2….25/1
1….40/1
0…..200/1

FABIO ODDS ON TO STICK AROUND UNTIL 2012

WILLIAM HILL now make 2012 their 8/11 favourite to be the year in which Fabio Capello ceases to be England manager.
Despite Capello hitning at bringing in new faces for the Hungary friendly Hills still make Rooney, Terry, Gerrard and Lampard odds-on shots to start the match. (See prices below). But Emile Heskey has already been backed to miss out, from 4/6 to 4/11 not to start.

HILLS have lengthened Harry Redknapp’s odds of becoming the next England manager from 13/8 to 9/4 favourite, but slashed Roy Hodgson from 6/1 to 11/4 second favourite. ‘Who knows what Harry’s fortunes will be once the job becomes vacant, but if Hodgson impresses at Anfield he could well be in just the right place at just the right time to take over if Capello departs in 2012’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Capello 10/3 to drop Rooney for next game:

FABIO ODDS ON TO STICK AROUND UNTIL 2012
WILLIAM HILL now make 2012 their 8/11 favourite to be the year in which Fabio Capello ceases to be England manager. ‘Fabio has somehow defied the odds and his critics to retain his job, but he still faces the small matter of Euro 2012 qualification which, on paper, should be straightforward’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. ‘We expect him to blood some new players in the August friendly against Hungary and have opened a book on who might start the game’
Despite Capello hitning at bringing in new faces for the Hungary friendly Hills still make Rooney, Terry, Gerrard and Lampard odds-on shots to start the match. (See prices below)

ROY 1/7 TO WIN NOTHING AT LIVERPOOL NEXT SEASON
William Hill believe Roy Hodgson has almost no chance of winning anything with Liverpool in his first season – and make the Anfield side 1/7 to end up with nothing.’To turn them from last season’s mediocrities into new season marvels will test even Hodgson’s plentiful powers – we think a trophy blank is almost a certainty’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, adding, ‘Our betting suggests 5th or 6th in the Premiership with more points than last season is the most likely outcome for Liverpool’.

City 5/4 To Outdo United

YOU BET CITY CAN OUTDO UNITED THIS SEASON….

WITH MANCHESTER CITY already flexing their financial muscle, William Hill make them 8/13 to finish in the top four next season and 6/5 not to – while they are just 5/1 to win the Premier League title. ‘City never looked like winning the title last season, but punters are already taking note of their early spending spree and we are now starting to see support coming in for them – we took 86 internet title bets for City, and a Manchester shop bet of £300 after the news of Yaya Toure’s signing was released’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. ‘They are 5/1 third favourites at the moment and it is not impossible that they could overtake second favourites United if they keep on spending’

Hills make City 5/4 to finish above bitter rivals United, who are 4/7 to do vice versa, this season.

Lancashire Man’s £150,000 South American World Cup Double Gamble

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

LANCASHIRE MAN’S £150,000 SOUTH AMERICAN WORLD CUP DOUBLE GAMBLE
A William Hill client, from Lytham St Annes in Lancashire is delighted that both Brazil and Argentina have reached the Quarter Finals of the World Cup – giving him two chances of landing a £150,000 gamble.
The anonymous gambler, who placed his bet via a letter to the bookie, has staked an £8824 double on Brazil winning the World Cup this year AND in 2014 – at odds of 16/1, which will win him £150,008 if it comes off.
The same punter has also staked a £5173 double on Argentina to win this year – going on to Brazil to win in 2014 at odds of 28/1, also set to produce a return of £150,017.
‘There is little doubt that our client is convinced that Brazil are certainities to win the World Cup when it is held in their country in 2014, and believes that either they or Argentina can set up a huge payout by winning in South Africa – he is obviously a most patient punter, too!’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
The World Cup is set to break all betting records by becoming the first event ever to produce a betting turnover in excess of £1billion. ‘England’s defeat means that patriotic punters now have to switch their allegiance to another country – and the easiest way to do that is by betting on them.’ added Sharpe.
