You Bet Vuvuzela More Likely To Be Banned At Home Than At World Cup!

June 19, 2010 Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments Bet, Bookmakers, Graham Sharpe, Noisy Objects, Odds, Pace, Premier League Clubs, Sp-fb, Spectators, Spokesman, Stadia, Vuvuzela, William Hill, World Cup

YOU BET VUVUZELA MORE LIKELY TO BE BANNED AT HOME THAN AT WORLD CUP!
BOOKMAKERS William Hill are offering odds of 7/4 that the Vuvuzela is officially banned from all Premier League grounds by the first day of next season. Hills are already offering 16/1 that the noisy objects will be banned from the World Cup before the end of the tournament, but now punters have begun betting that Premier League clubs will want to keep it out of their stadia.
‘The vuvuzela certainly polarises opinion and we suspect that individual clubs will want to put a rule in pace to enable them to ban them should they threaten to become widespread’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’We’ve already cut the odds on a ban from 3/1 to 7/4
Hills also offer 2/5 that spectators will be free to bring them into one or more Premier League grounds when the season begins.

Was this costliest soccer howler ever?
GREEN’S BLUNDER ROBS PUNTERS OF £10MILLION+

BOOKMAKERS William Hill say Rob Green’s disastrous error was the costliest mistake ever for Britain’s punters: ‘The difference between Green making the save, and letting the ball in made a difference of over £10million to how much bookies had to pay out to punters who backed England to win the game – in eight World Cups I can never remember a costlier blunder for backers – and that includes the Maradona hand of God goal – which only stopped England drawing, rather than winning’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. ‘Several punters had bet £10,000 on England to win and hundreds of thousands of supporters had more modest bets on the outcome of the game and the correct score.’

ROB GREEN IS EVEN MONEY FAVOURITE WITH WILLIAM HILL TO START THE GAME V ALGERIA, WITH DAVID JAMES AND JOE HART EACH OFFERED AT 9/4.

ENGLAND ARE 8/1 TO WIN THE WORLD CUP WITH WILLIAM HILL.

MARTIN JOHNSON, ENGLAND RUGBY UNION BOSS, IS 4/6 FAVOURITE TO LEAVE HIS JOB BEFORE FABIO CAPELLO DOES LIKEWISE – HILLS OFFER 11/10 VICED VERSA. ‘BOTH ENGLAND BOSSES ARE UNDER PRESSURE BUT JOHNSON CURRENTLY LOOKS MORE VULNERABLE’ SAID HILL’S SPOKESMAN GRAHAM SHARPE.

WILLIAM HILL OFFER 50/1 THAT THE VUVUZUELA WILL BE OFFICIALLY BANNED FROM STADIUMS BEFORE THE END OF THE WORLD CUP.

50/1 Vuvuzelas To Be Banned

June 17, 2010 Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments Commentators, Football Matches, Graham Sharpe, People, Silence, Sp-fb, Spokesman, Vuvuzela, William Hill, World Cup Games

50/1 A VUVUZELA BAN ?

WITH INCREASING criticism of the omnipresent vuvuzela noise during World Cup games, William Hill are offering 50/1 that they will be officially banned at some stage before the World Cup Final is played.
‘It appears to be people who don’t normally attend or watch football matches live and would rather sit and watch games in silence who are objecting to the vuvuzela, but we don’t think a ban is at all likely’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘Besides which the noise helps drown out some of the commentators, whose own incomprehensible vocal babble is often far more offensive than any vuvuzela!’

Rooney Mania Hits Betting Shops

ROONEY-MAYHEM IN BETTING SHOPS AS WORLD’S BIGGEST GAMBLE UNDER WAY

ROONEY-MANIA is helping drive the biggest gamble of all time as punters bet over £1 billion on the outcome of the World Cup, say bookmakers William Hill, who have already taken bets of £60,000; $85,000; £110,000 and £200,000 on the tournament and now anticipate a £25m gamble on England’s opening match against USA.
‘No event has ever produced a betting turnover of £1 billion before – but that is going to happen at this World Cup – we have already taken mega-bets of up to £200,000, with that amount staked on an accumulator bet, with £110,000 bet on France and £20,000 on Germany, to win the tournament’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’England fans have gone Rooney-crazy with their bets, and we’re in trouble if he scores a hat trick against the USA’

And England have not been ignored by the high rollers, with two bets of £6500 placed on them at odds of 8/1. But nor have England’s first opponents USA, on whom one punter has staked £5000 at 80/1 to win the tournament.

ENGLAND are 4/9 favourites to get off to a winning start against USA with William Hill who make them 4/9 favourites to win the game for which the USA are 13/2 outsiders with the draw at 16/5.

WAYNE ROONEY is 5/1 to be sent off during the tournament and 25/1 to do so against USA. He is 10/3 to score the opening goal of the game; 10/3 to score the last; 4/5 to score at any stage of the game; 7/2 to score 2 or more; 20/1 to score a hat trick.
‘We have had to create a whole range of Rooney special bets to cope with the demand from punters’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WILLIAM HILL ROONEY SPECIALS…..6/4 TO BE SUBSTITUTED V USA; 2/1 To be yellow carded; 7/2 to score in both halves;4/1 to score with a header; 5/1 to hit the woodwork; 6/1 to score from outside the penalty box; 7/1 to win a penalty.

William Hill are also offering a 14/1 treble for patriotic punters this weekend. For it to come in England need to beat Australia in the Rugby Union, followed by beating USA in the World Cup and finally an English driver winning the GP on Sunday.
