Hearts are 40/1 to win the SPL and 16/1 to be runners-up, although, they are even money to finish in third place.

Feature for England at any point again in the future: 9/4 yes; 1/3 no

Team GB Manager at London 2012: 16/1

Start a match for Team GB at London 2012: 2/1 yes; 4/11 no

Lampard Set To Go Head To Head With Wilshere As Leicester Not Too Foxy For Becks

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

There are many reports suggesting that Frank Lampard’s England career may be over due to the emergence of Jack Wilshere but William Hill think that he still has a role to play, offering 7/4 that he starts more competitive England games this season than the Arsenal ace. Hills go 6/4 about Wilshere starting more and 7/4 that they start the exact same amount of games.

“There are many people saying that Lampard may have lost his position to Wilshere but we think that there is still life in the old dog yet and he will give the young buck a good run for his money this season,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Sven Goran-Eriksson has stated his desire to take David Beckham to Leicester in January, although Hills think that an appearance for the Foxes is unlikely, offering 8/1 that he plays a league game in a Leicester shirt this season.

Lampard/Wilshere Match Bet (who will start most Competitive England games between now and Euro 2012): 7/4 Lampard; 7/4 Tie; 6/4 Wilshere

Premier League Looks Set To Strike It Lucky

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

With a host of top quality strikers set to be plying their trade in the Premier League next season, William Hill think that the 2011/12 could be yet another record breaking season, offering 4/5 that last season’s total of 1063 goals is broken this year. With a number of the ‘top six’ sides recruiting heavily over the summer break, Hills are offering 5/6 that the top six score more than the 334 that they mustered last season.

Manchester United lead the scoring charts last season and 9/4 is offered for them to do so once again, while Chelsea are the 11/4 second favourites. Hills also offer 7/4 that over 30 goals are scored on the opening weekend of the season.

“Last season was a record breaker with more goals scored than any previous year in Premier League history and with a number of top strikers set to line up for their sides this season, the goals look set to flow,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Despite suffering a somewhat rocky start to his Chelsea career, Hills are backing Fernando Torres to do the business this season and make him the 13/8 favourite to be Chelsea’s top marksman this season. Didier Drogba is offered at 11/4 and Frank Lampard is 9/2.

Total goals scored by the “top six” in 2011/2012*: 10/11 under 334; 33/1 exactly 334; 5/6 over 334
*Arsenal; Chelsea; Liverpool; Man City; Man Utd; Tottenham
