YOU BET WAYNE TO GO

WILLIAM HILL have cut their odds for Wayne Rooney to leave Manchester United during the January transfer window from 7/1 to 5/2, and have opened a book on where the England striker will be playing his football on the first day of next season – making him 1/3 still to be with United and 9/2 to have joined deadly rivals Manchester City by then. ‘City would be delighted to be able to team their other former United player Tevez with Rooney – how United fans would feel about that remains to be seen!’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘However, we still believe he is likely to stay where he is next season.’

IS ENGLAND CAREER OVER FOR OWEN?

Although Michael Owen is hoping to win his England place back, William Hill offer 3/1 that he will play any part in the Euro 2012 qualifying matches. ‘Michael may have to face up to the fact that his England career is over as Capello has shown little enthusiasm for restoring him to the side’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

HODGSON’S CHOICES?

WITH Roy Hodgson hoping to have cash to play with in the January transfer window as a result of Liverpool’s projected take-over, William Hill are betting on how many permanent signings he will make then, and make three or more their 5/4 favourite. ‘Liverpool clearly need to bring in a number of new players but whether they will have the money and whether the right players will be available remains to be seen’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

RYAN KICKS BUTT – ON…….. AND PUNTER WHO BET £24,000 ON JENSON
ONE William Hill punter lost over £24,500 and another £5000 in bets on odds on favourite Jenson Button who became the fourth consecutive beaten favourite, as Ryan Giggs, originally a 100/1 shot, won the BBC TV Sports Personality of the Year Award.
‘There was a massive gamble on Ryan Giggs winning which saw his odds slashed from 100/1 to 5/2 second favourite – and cost bookies a small fortune’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’Fortunately for us, we took some hefty bets for Button – one of our clients from Gloucester staked £24,560 on him, and another had £5000, which helped to soften the blow of Ryan’s win’
ANDY MURRAY has already been backed from 6/1 to 4/1 clear favourite with Hills to win the Award in 2010. ‘If England even go close to winning the World Cup it will almost certainly be a footballer who wins the Award next year’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’However, if they produce their usual quarter-final exit the Award will be wide open.’
WILLIAM HILL…..2010 BBC TV SPORTS PERSONALITY OF THE YEAR AWARD….4/1 Andy Murray; 6/1 Lewis Hamilton; 6/1 Wayne Rooney; 10/1 David Beckham; 10/1 Jenson Button; 12/1 David Haye; 12/1 John Terry; 14/1 Steven Gerrard; 20/1 Amir Khan; Jermain Defoe; Frank Lampard; 25/1 Theo Walcott; 25/1 Mark Cavendish; Rory McIlroy; Lee Westwood; 33/1 Michael Owen; 33/1 Bradley Wiggins; 50/1 Colin Montgomerie.

CAN BECKS BEAT SHILTS?

WITH DAVID BECKHAM very prominent at the World Cup draw, William Hill offering odds of 5/1 that he will break Peter Shilton’s all time record number of caps.’If he is to have the slightest chance of overtaking Shilts, Beckham needs to get to win one or two of the great keeper during the World Cup or he’ll have too much to do and too little time left to do it in’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
HILLS MAKE BECKHAM 13/8 TO START ONE OR MORE WORLD CUP GAMES, 4/9 NOT TO.
