Brazil are the 15/8 favourites to win the mens Olympic football although all eyes will be on Stuart Pearces men and William Hill make Team GB 5/1 for the gold medal. Spain are the 9/4 second favourites with Uruguay some way behind the three favourites at 9/1. In the womens competition, Hills make USA the 11/4 favourites to win the gold medal with Brazil and current world champions, Japan, 3/1. Hope Powells ladies are 16/1 to win the gold medal. The double for both Team GB sides to grab gold pays 101/1 at Hills.

Team GB are relative outsiders in both the mens and womens competition, but they do have experienced hands in charge and we are certainly expecting them to be well backed as the Olympics draw closer, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

plastic Brits Could Be Hits At London 2012

April 10, 2012 Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments 100m Hurdles, Athlete, Brits, Delano, Footy, Gold Men, Greenside, Joe Crilly, London 2012, London N22, Long Jump, Olympics, Proctor, Shara, Team Gb, Tiffany, Triple Jump, Vest, William Hill, Williamhill

Delano Williams is set to become the latest overseas athlete to try their hand in a Team GB vest and William Hill are offering 8/11 that he competes for Team GB at the Olympics in the 200m. Should he qualify, however, Hills think he will struggle to make an impression, offering 7/2 he makes the final, 33/1 he wins a medal and 200/1 he wins gold.

Delano Williams is definitely one for the future, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly. He is not expected to make much of an impression on the field at this Games, but it may not stay that way for long.

Other so-called plastic Brits who will be competing are Yamile Aldama (5/1 for triple jump gold), Tiffany Porter (10/1 for 100m hurdles gold) and Shara Proctor (16/1 for long jump gold).

You Bet Olympic Saga Could Be Sorted Soon…

January 31, 2012 Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments Bet, Footy, Greenside, Joe Crilly, London N22, Olympic Stadium, Olympics, Priority, Professional Division, Running, Saga, Spokesman, West Ham, William Hill, Williamhill

West Ham are allegedly growing frustrated with the lack of movement on the Olympic Stadium front. William Hill think that any problems should be sorted out by 2015, offering 2/7 that any team (in any professional division) is playing or has played a full season of home league matches at the Olympic Stadium by 2015.

The Olympic Stadium saga has been running for quite a while now, but we think that once the Olympics are out of the way, the Stadium issue will become number one priority and should be sorted relatively quickly, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly

A team to play a full season/be playing a full season of home league matches at the Olympic Stadium by 2015: 2/7 yes; 5/2 no

Lampard 5/6 To Reach 100 Caps…qpr Becks Appeal Shrinking

November 22, 2011 Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments 2012 Olympics, Ac Milan, David Beckham, England Caps, Favourites, Footy, Frank Lampard, Gb Squad, Greenside, Joe Crilly, London N22, Midfielder, Olympic Squad, Olympics, Paris Saint Germain, Ramsey, Spurs, Tally, William Hill, Williamhill

Frank Lampard led by example as England defeated Spain and he has now targeted 100 caps for England. The midfielder, who took his tally to 90 on Saturday is 5/6 with William Hill to join the 100 club (5/6 not to).

QPR have seemingly given up in the race to sign David Beckham and William Hill have eased their odds to 8/1 (from 6/1). Paris Saint Germain are the 4/9 favourites to secure Beckhams signature, while Tottenham are the 5/1 second favourites. Beckham is 4/7 to join up with the GB squad for the 2012 Olympics and Hills make Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey 1/8 and 1/5 respectively to feature in the Olympic squad.

Bale and Ramsay have already appeared in the promotional photos for the launching of the GB kit and with Wales not playing in the Euros, it now seems almost impossible to imagine that they will not join up with the squad in London, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

David Beckham next club: 4/9 PSG; 5/1 Spurs; 8/1 QPR; 9/1 Anzhi; 10/1 Blackburn; 12/1 Aston Villa; 16/1 AC Milan; 33/1 Real Madrid…others on request

Frank Lampard to win 100 England Caps: 5/6 yes; 5/6 no

GB Sqaud for Olympics:

Bale: 1/8 yes; 9/2 no
Ramsey: 1/5 yes; 10/3 no
Beckham: 4/7 yes; 5/4 no

He’s odds on for Team GB, but:
SACRE BLEU! BECKS OFF TO FRANCE?

DAVID BECKHAM has been cut from 4/6 to 1/3 with William Hill to play in the London Olympics for Team GB – while Hills have also opened a book on which will be his next club if he doesn’t re-sign for LA Galaxy.
Becks is 6/4 to sign another contract for the US outfit, and 1/2 not to – while Hills make French side PSG 1/2 favourites to be the next club to sign the former England skipper. ‘Short of inviting Stuart Pearce to be god-father to the next baby Becks, it is difficult to see how much more obvious he could make it that he expects to be included in Team GB’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘But the question of where he will next ply his trade looks likely to see him turning up in Paris.’

WILLIAM HILL BECKS’ SPECIALS…
To play any part in Team GB Olympic football team – 1/3 yes; 9/4 no
To re-sign for LA Galaxy? – 6/4 yes; 1/ 2 no

William Hill offer 5/1 that Stuart Pearce leads the men to glory in London while Hope Powell is 8/1 to do the same for the women.

Having named their coaches, the hard work begins in earnest and the odds suggest that both sides will need to be at their very best to grab gold in London, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

Beckham to captain the GB Olympic team in the opening match: 7/4
Beckham to score for the GB Olympic team during the Olympics 2012 (penalty shoot outs do not count): 7/2
