DAVID BECKHAM has been left out of Stuart Pearces Olympic squad to be replaced instead by Micah Richards and William Hill are offering 4/1 that the starting XI in the first Olympics game for Team GB features at least one player from England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. GB are the 6/1 joint third favourites to win the Olympic football alongside Switzerland and behind Brazil (15/8) and Spain (9/4). David Beckham has now been slashed from 25/1 to 10/1 to light the Olympic Flame.

Becks has been disappointed in his dream to represent Team GB at the Olympics but he may well have a role to play in lighting the Olympic Flame, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

David Beckhams attentions will undoubtedly turn to the MLS Cup, for which his LA Galaxy side are 12/1 to win.

Andre Villas Boas looks as though he is just days away from being confirmed as the next Spurs boss with William Hill making him 1/12 to get the gig on a permanent basis. He is well fancied to do better in the Spurs hot-seat than he did at Chelsea and he is 1/10 to last the whole of next season in charge. AVBs job will be made simpler by the fact that star man, Gareth Bale, has penned a new four year deal although Hills offer 4/6 that he leaves White Hart Lane before the end of the contract (11/10 he will still be there).

AVBs project did not go down too well at Chelsea, but with a younger squad, wholesale changes will not really be required and it may well be able easier to implement his ideas at the lane, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

Should Villas Boas take charge, he may have to turn around Spurs fortunes without playmaker, Luka Modric, who is 1/7 to leave the club before the start of next season, amid interest from Real Madrid and Manchester United.

La Galaxy to win the MLS Cup: 12/1

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.
