FERGIE’S OLYMPIC GRIPE

With Sir Alex Ferguson said to be angry at the prospect of seeing several of his players taking part in the Olympics, William Hill have opened a book on how many United first-teamers will take part in the Games and make it a 9/4 chance that he will have to endure seeing 6 or more of his side in action – ‘It must come with the territory that when you are one of the top sides in the world your players will be in demand to represent their countries so I’m sure Sir Alex has had plenty of time to prepare himself for the prospect of seeing many of his lads in action in Euro 2012 and others in the Olympic tournament’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

England Ladies’ Penalty Shoot Out Game Is Record Breaker

BBC TV BOOST MAKES ENGLAND WORLD CUP DEFEAT BIGGEST BETTING DAY YET FOR LADIES’ FOOTBALL

England’s penalty shoot-out World Cup quarter final defeat by France became William Hill‘s first six-figure game in the history of ladies’ football.
‘The live showing of the match by BBC2 really boosted betting turnover and the game became our first six figure turnover match for ladies’ football, and together with the Germany-Japan game will almost certainly have produced an industry turnover on the day of over a million pounds – another first’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
‘We are now anticipating a terrific betting interest in the Women’s Football tournament at the London Olympics where the game should come of age as a betting sport, with GB already qualifying as hosts.’

William Hill…..GB Women to win the Olympic football 7/1.
Hills – GB To win a penalty shootout at the Olympic tournament 8/1.

Hills WERE BETTING ON WHETHER ENGLAND STRIKER KELLY SMITH WOULD SCORE DURING THE TOURNAMENT, AND ALTHOUGH PENALTY SHOOT-OUTS DO NOT NORMALLY COUNT IN SUCH MARKETS, THEY HAVE DECIDED TO PAY OUT ON THIS OCCASION. ‘Kelly had drifted to 11/10 to score during the tournament and as she showed such tremendous character in not only staying on the pitch when she was badly hampered by an injury, but also hammering home the first penalty of the shoot-out we are going to pay out on both sides of the bet.’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
