Sneijder Favourite For Ballon D’ Or

WHO’LL WIN BALLON D’OR?

WESLEY SNEIJDER is 6/4 favourite with William Hill to win the prestigious Ballon d’Or Award following the announcement of the short-list of candidates. ‘Against him is the fact that he doesn’t play for the World Cup winners but other than that Wesley Sneijder would be a desreved winner. However, it is a sad reflection on England that they have no represnetatives on the list’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

TO WIN BALLON D’OR…6/4 Sneijder; 4 Messi; 5 Xavi; 11/2 Iniesta; 9 Villa; 16 Forlan; 20 Ronaldo; 33 Muller; Ozil; 40 Casillas; Eto’o; 50 Alonso;Drogba; Fabregas;Klose; Maicon; Puyol; Robben; Schweinsteiger; 66 Gyan; 100 Alves; Cesar; Lahm.

BORO 14/1 TO GO UP – 13/2 TO GO DOWN……..

AFTER APPOINTING Tony Mowbray as boss, Middlesbro are rated at 14/1 by William Hill to be promoted this season – and 13/2 to be relegated. ‘This won’t be an easy task for Tony Mowbray – we reckon they will struggle to reach the play-offs, let alone get promoted – and relegation is not out of the question’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WHERE WILL BORO FINISH?

WINNER….66/1
SECOND….40/1
PLAYOFFS….4/1
7TH TO 11TH….9/4
12TH TO 16TH….9/4

Greatest World Cup Winning Result Ever For Bookies

Bookies celebrate best winning World Cup game ever as:
PUNTER LOSES BIGGEST WORLD CUP BET OF ALL

A WILLIAM HILL telephone betting customer who staked a record 500,000 euros on Germany to beat Spain has lost his wager – the largest World Cup bet ever. ‘Not only did the 500,000 euro bet lose, but so did the 100,000 and 80,000 euro bets on Germany to win the tournament, and another 75,000 euro wager on them to get past Spain’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘Even though we have clients with £25,000 and £10,000 on Spain to win the World Cup we will be going into the Final celebrating the fact that Germany aren’t there. Germany losing that game made a difference of around £5million to us – it was almost certainly our best World Cup result ever. Now we’d like the Dutch to round off a fantastic tournament for us by beating Spain’ .

EVENS PAUL THE OCTOPUS TO PICK WORLD CUP WINNERS!

AND WILLIAM HILL ARE NOW OFFERING ODDS OF EVEN MONEY THAT PAUL THE OCTOPUS WILL TIP THE WINNERS OF THE WORLD CUP AFTER HIS LATEST TRIUMPH IN SELECTING SPAIN TO BEAT GERMANY. ‘Punters are keen to keep on the right side of Paul’s tips, so we are giving them the chance to bet that he’ll pick the winner BEFORE they even know which side he has opted for’ said William Hill spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WILLIAM HILL now make Spain 8/15 favourites to win the World Cup, with Holland offered at 6/4.
Hills make Spain Evens to win in 90m with Holland 12/5 and the draw 2/1.

WILLIAM HILL have shortened their odds that Fabio Capello will still be England manager when they play their August friendly against Hungary, from 4/7 to 1/2, and have lengthened the odds that he is gone by then from 5/4 to 6/4. ‘There seems to be a sudden flurry of support for Fabio to survive – but we do offer 11/10 that he has gone before the end of the year’ said Hill’s spookesman Graham Sharpe.
With Roy Hodgson seemingly now set to take over at Liverpool, William Hill have made Harry Redknapp 13/8 favourite to be the next England manager. ‘Many thought the England job was there for Hodgson’s taking but maybe he thought it would be a poisoned chalice to take on after the great job he has done at Fulham’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’Mind you, if Capello hangs on for a couple of seasons, Hodgson could still be in the right place at the right time!’
