With injury doubts over Rio:
WHO WILL SKIPPER ENGLAND V USA?

WITH RIO FERDINAND’S season-long injury problems showing no signs of ending, William Hill have made him 1/6 favourite to start England’s opening World Cup game as skipper. ‘Given his persistent problems it is a brave punter who would risk backing Rio to start the first World Cup game as captain’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘And for all that he has strongly suggested Rio will be his pick, Fabio has yet to confirm it officially’

Hills…..Who Will Captain England v USA ?
Ferdinand 1/6, Gerrard 9/2, Rooney 12/1, Lampard 14/1, Beckham 25/1, Terry 20/1, Barry 33/1, James 50/1, A Cole 50/1.

Diet Punter Weighs In As Welsh Grandad Scores Everton Winner

DIET GAMBLER IAN LAYS OFF XMAS TURKEY TO CLINCH £1000 WINNINGS
A WILLIAM HILL customer was set to lay off the Christmas turkey on December 25 in order to clinch a £1000 payout from the bookies after betting that he could lose five stone by Christmas Day.
Former RAF man, 44 year old Ian Armstrong, from Bradford, suffered a football injury which stopped him training and saw his weight balloon from12 stone to 17.
He struck a bet with William Hill last January that he would be back to 12 stone by Christmas Day, staking £50 at odds of 20/1, standing to win £1000. ‘The terms of the bet are that Ian must weigh 12 stones actually ON December 25, so although we understand he had got down to that weight some days ago, we need confirmation that he hasn’t gone back above the 12 stone mark on Christmas Day – so it may be a case of no Xmas turkey for Ian so that he can clinch the bet’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Ian plans to give his winnings to his sons’ junior football team.
**PROUD GRANDAD STAN CRAIG from Caernarvon, Wales, is celebrating winning £3400 from William Hill after his grandson, Nathan, made his debut first team appearance for Everton last week. Eight years ago, when Nathan was just another 10 year old wannabe Premiership player, Stan staked £100 at 33/1 with Hills that the boy would play for any Premiership team – so when 18yo Nathan came on as a substitute in a Europa League game for Everton this week, the bet was won.
Stan has also backed the left sided midfielder to win a senior international cap for Wales and will collect another £10,000 if he does so after betting £100 at 100/1. ‘Stan’s pride in his grandson has paid off spectacularly and brought him a wonderful Christmas bonus’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

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

100/1 RYAN GIGGS EXTENDS CURSE OF SPORTS PERSONALITY FAVOURITE…….

ONE William Hill punter lost £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.
WAYNE ROONEY has been installed 6/1 joint favourite by William Hill along with Andy Murray and Lewis Hamilton to win the 2010 BBC TV Sports Personality of the Year Award. ‘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.
Hills also offer 8/1 David Beckham; 12/1 David Haye; Jenson Button; 25/1 Lee Westwood; 33/1 Amir Khan; 40/1 Ricky Hatton; 50/1 Mark Cavendish and Bradley Wiggins.

Gerrard And Rooney Odds On To Recover For Clubs As Platt Backed For County

ROONEY AND GERRARD ODDS ON TO MAKE MIRACLE RECOVERIES

WILLIAM HILL have opened a book on whether either Steven Gerrard and/or Wayne Rooney will play any part in their clubs’ Premiership matches at the weekend. Hills offer 8/1 that NEITHER will play any part; 5/4 that either ONE of them will play some part, and 8/11 that BOTH will play some part in the matches at home to Bolton (Man U) and away to Sunderland (Liverpool).
‘Both Rooney and Gerrard seem to be quick healers and we think there is every chance that both will be in action at the weekend’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

NOTT PLATT?

THE LARGEST bet William Hill have taken so far on the identity of the next Notts County manager is for David Platt, on whom one punter has risked £100 and who is currently 4/1 second favourite. ‘There are reports that such and such a candidate has ruled himself in or out and so and so is not being considered, but experience has told us that in these markets money is better informed than rumours’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills now make Roberto Mancini 7/2 favourite to get the job and also offer 4/1 Platt; Peter Taylor; 7 Coppell; 9 Dowie; 10 Curbishley; 16 Sven; Keegan; O’Leary; 20 Strachan.

Hart Still In Pomp As Ton Up County Head For Title ?

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

HART STILL IN HIS POMP – BUT FOR HOW LONG?

WITH THE Portsmouth takeover situation beginning to become a little clearer, William Hill have seen a flurry of support for Pompey boss Paul Hart to be the first manager to lose his job in the Premiership this season, and have cut his odds from 4/1 to 7/4 favourite.
‘Bets of £300 and £400 have gone on Hart to be the first out since the takeover appeared to have gone through, and some punters clearly believe that new owner means imminent new manager’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills make Phil Brown 3/1 second favourite to go first and also offer 5/1 Rafa Benitez; 10 Alex McLeish and Gary Megson; 11 David Moyes; 14 Mark Hughes; Gianfranco Zola; 20 Martin O’Neill.

NOTTS A TON-UP CERTAINTY?

A WILLIAM HILL punter from Shrewbury has staked £750 at odds of 10/1 on Notts County to amass 100 points and 100 goals in League Two this season.’County have been flying in most of their early matches, but the defeat by Chesterfield suggests that it may not be plain sailing all the way this season’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘However, this bet is typical of the interest we have been seeing for Sven’s side to canter to the title’.
Hills make County 11/10 favourites to win League Two, with Rotherham at 8/1; Bournemouth 12/1; Chesterfield and Crewe both 14/1.
