66/1 For Germany To Win The Euros…let’s Just Hope For Clean Sheets

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

Germany are 5/2 favourites to win the European Championships and with their price being backed all the time, it will only get shorter. Having won their opening game 1-0 against Portugal, Germany are now 66/1 to win the tournament without conceding a goal.

“There may be a few punters who will be kicking themselves because they did not manage to grab any of the 5/1 that we offered a couple of months before the tournament started, but they now have the opportunity to back a relatively realistic 66/1 shot,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Germany take on Holland on Wednesday and Hills make them 6/4 slight favourites, with Holland 19/10 and the draw 21/10.

Cristiano Ronaldo flattered to deceive somewhat in Portugal’s first game at the Euros, but Hills think that he could spark to life against Denmark and is 3/1 to score more goals than the Danes in their match on Tuesday.

Group B – Winner: 1/3 Germany; 9/2 Denmark; 8/1 Holland; 14/1 Portugal

Group B – To qualify (not qualify): 1/16 Germany (7/1); 10/11 Denmark (10/11); 7/4 Portugal (2/5); 9/4 Holland (1/3)

66/1 Germany to win Euros without conceding a goal

Goals match bet: 3/1 Ronaldo; 13/8 Denmark; 10/11 Draw

Group A Starting To Take Shape…home Side Should Squeak Through

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

Poland struggled to a draw against Greece in their first match despite being much fancied but William Hill think that they will still get though the group, offering 10/11 that they do so. They will have to try to get a result against group leaders Russia to do so and Hills make them 11/5 to win and the same price to get a draw.

The game was notable for the fact that two players were sent off and Hills offer 11/2 that Greece get a yellow card in their match against the Czech Republic. Greece had the chance to take the lead against Poland but missed a penalty and Hills offer 14/1 that the match sees another penalty awarded and missed.

“The home faithful will have watched Poland’s game with mixed emotions given the fact that the first half went so well for them but the second half was disastrous,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “They did not lose, however, so remain in a strong position to qualify.”

Russia’s Alan Dzagoev currently leads the goalscoring charts at the Euros and he is 10/1 to win the golden boot at the tournament only behind Mario Gomez at 5/1.

Russia’s outright odds tumbled after their 4-1 victory on Friday night and are now 12/1 for glory in Poland and Ukraine.

Result: 13/10 Czech Republic, 21/10 Greece, 23/10 Draw

First Goal Scorer: 7/1 M Baros, 7/1 T Gekas, 8/1 D Lafata, 8/1 T Necid, 9/1 N Liberopoulos, 9/1 D Salpingidis, 9/1 T Pekhart, 10/1 G Samaras, 10/1 K Mitroglou, 10/1 J Rezek.

Anytime Goal Scorer: 7/4 M Baros, 15/8 T Gekas, 2/1 D Lafata, 9/4 T Necid, 9/4 K Mitroglou, 9/4 N Liberpoulos, 10/3 T Pekhart, 11/4 G Samaras, 11/4 D Salpingidis, 7/2 J Rezek.

Result: 13/10 Russia, 11/5 Draw, 11/5 Poland

First Goal Scorer: 6/1 R Pavlyuchenko, 6/1 A Kerzhakov, 6/1 R Lewandowski, 7/1 A Dzagoev, 8/1 P Pogrebnyak, 9/1 A Arshavin, 9/1 P Brozek, 9/1 A Sobiech, 11/1 J Blaszczykowski.

Group A Winner: 2/7 Russia, 5/1 Poland, 8/1 Greece, 20/1 Czech Republic.

Group A Qualification: 1/16 Russia, 10/11 Poland, 13/8 Greece, 9/4 Czech Republic.

Group A Not to Qualify: 1/3 Czech Republic, 4/9 Greece, 10/11 Poland, 7/1 Russia.

Greece to be shown a Red Card: 11/2

A Red Card to be shown in 90 minutes: 11/4

Greece to come from behind and draw: 15/2.

A penalty to be awarded and missed: 14/1

Euros top goalscorer: 5/1 Mario Gomez; 10/1 Karim Benzema; 10/1 Alan Dzagoev; 12/1 Mario Mandzukic; 16/1 Antonio Di Natale; 16/1 Robin van Persie; 16/1 Nickica Jelavic; 16/1 Robert Lewandowski; 20/1 Cesc Fabregas; 20/1 Roman Pavlyuchenko; 20/1 Cristiano ROnaldo; 25/1 BAR

Bookies Breathe Sigh Of Relief As England And France Draw

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

After a hard fought draw, William Hill were breathing a sigh of relief. As the game kicked off, 47% of all bets had been for Roy Hodgson’s men, with 39% of all bets being placed on France.

“We offered an industry top price of 5/2 about England, which punters were desperate to get on, while at the same time, France were also well backed by our more pragmatic punters. If we had seen a win for either side, we would have been paying out a seven figure sum,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

There were some top notch performances from the England players against France and William Hill are offering 7/4 that all eleven of tonight’s starting XI start vs Sweden with 11/8 offered for ten.

Danny Welbeck lead the line very well against France and he is 1/3 to start the match against Sweden and 6/5 to start the match against Ukraine. One person who did not impress, however, was the referee and Nicola Rizzoli is 16/1 from 7/1 to officiate in the Final.

Niccola Rizzoli to Officiate the Final: 16/1

How many of England XI to start v Sweden
11 – 7/4
10 – 11/8
9 or less – 2/1

Welbeck to start v Sweden
Yes – 1/3
No – 9/4

Welbeck to start v Ukraine
Yes – 6/5
No – 8/13

Bad Boy Barton Backed For No Reprieve…

Bad Boy Barton Backed For No Reprieve…

Joey Barton, today received a 12 match ban for his shenanigans at the end of last season and bookmakers William Hill are betting on what the outcome will be at the culmination of the inevitable appeal that will take place. Barton will undoubtedly feel aggrieved at the extent of his ban and Hills are offering 11/8 that the 12 matches are decreased. It is even money that the ban stays the same and 4/1 that it is increased.

“Barton gives the impression that he has turned over a new leaf,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “It seems as though the FA, however, have taken a dim view as to his antics in the last game of the season and we reckon his ban will remain as it is regardless of appeal.”

Will Joey Barton’s Ban Be…11/8 decreased, 1/1 stay same; 4/1 increased

Torres 2/1 To Walk…di Matteo 1/2 To Stay…you Bet Chelsea Set To Dominate England Squad

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

Fernando Torres is said to be assessing his options at Chelsea despite winning the Champions League and has made it clear that he is contemplating leaving should his role in the squad remain peripheral. William Hill think that he will still be a Chelsea player at the start of next season, offering 4/11 that he starts next season at Chelsea, although the 2/1 that he leaves is the shortest price on him exiting since he joined the club.

“Torres is reportedly far from happy at Chelsea ad has revealed he would be open to a transfer, but would there be any club willing to part with around £50 million to sign a misfiring striker?” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Roberto Di Matteo is reportedly being given serious consideration by the Chelsea hierarchy, but despite this and his masterminding of victory in the Champions League, he can still be backed at 1/2 with Hills to get the manager’s job on a permanent basis. Fabio Capello is 5/2 with Pep Guardiola and Jose Mourinho 8/1.

“Despite winning the trophy most coveted by Roman Abramovic, he still remains relatively backable at 1/2 and he finds himself uncertain of his future at Chelsea,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Roy Hodgson has stated that he wants Chelsea’s players to continue their Champions League form into the European Championships and Hills offer 2/1 that all four Chelsea players in the England squad start the first match against France. The favourite, however, is three of the four at 4/5. For none or one of those players to start is offered at 14/1.

Spurs missed out on Champions League football despite finishing fourth in the League and there could well be a exodus from White Hart Lane, with Luka Modric cut to leave the club from 6/5 to 5/6. Gareth Bale is the same price to have left the club with Van der Vaart 9/4 to leave.

Next permanent Chelsea manager: 1/2 Roberto Di Matteo; 5/2 Fabio Capello; 8/1 Pep Guardiola; 8/1 Jose Mourinho; 10/1 Harry Redknapp; 14/1 Laurent Blanc; 14/1 Rafa Benitez; 16/1 Joachim Low; 20/1 BAR

Players at Spurs on first day of next season:

Modric: 5/6 yes; 5/6 no
Bale: 5/6 yes; 5/6 no
Van der Vaart: 1/3 yes; 9/4 no

Fernando Torres still at Chelsea on the first day of next season: 4/11 yes; 2/1 no

Didier Drogba still at Chelsea on the first day of next season: 6/5 yes; 8/13 no

Frank Lampard to be at Chelsea on first day of next season: 1/6 yes; 7/2 no

Number of Chelsea players in England’s starting XI vs France: 14/1 none/one; 7/2 two; 4/5 three; 2/1 four

English side in Champions League Final 2012/13: 5/6 yes; 5/6 no

Crouch Wonder Goal Stands Tall Over Rivals

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

Despite hitting a fantastic goal against Chelsea, Papiss Cisse is not at the top of the betting for this year’s Match of the Day Goal of the Season. Peter Crouch’s effort for Stoke vs Manchester City is 10/11 then followed by Cisse’s second effort at Stamford Bridge at 6/5. Luis Suarez’s effort from the halfway line against Norwich is the 6/1 third favourite followed by any other goal at 16/1.

“It looks like it will be a two horse race for the Goal of the Season honour and we think it could still go either way,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.
