BETTING ON BECKS TO BOOST WORLD CUP BID

WITH DAVID BECKHAM set to join the team handing over England’s hefty bid to stage the 2018 World Cup in Zurich on Friday, William Hill make England odds-on favourites to win the right to host the competition, at 10/11. ‘Having not staged the tournament since 1966 – which will be over half a century ago by 2018 – there is a strong feeling that it would be appropriate to return here sooner rather than later, and the betting reflects that’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills also offer 4/1 Spain/Portugal joint bid; 9/2 Russia; 8/1 Australia; 8/1 Holland/Belgium joint bid; 33/1 USA; 66/1 Indonesia.

Fabregas Now Odds-on To Leave Arsenal

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

Bookmakers William Hill have cut the price for Cesc Fabregas to leave Arsenal this summer from 11-10 to 8-11 following intense speculation in the Spanish press that he will re-join Barcelona this summer.
Catalan newspaper El Mundo Deportivo claim Fabregas has told family and friends that he has agreed a four-year deal with the Blaugrana.
Leading Spanish newspaper, Marca have also added fuel to the story. They quote the Arsenal skipper as saying “I want to make a decision about my future before the start of the World Cup. It’s impossible to perform at a tournament like the World Cup if you’re not fully focused on the sporting aspects of the game. I don’t want to be distracted by transfer talk.”
William Hill spokesman Graham Sharpe said “The Spanish media seem to believe that it is a done deal and the money seems to suggest that he’ll be playing at the Camp Nou next season.”
