UNPATRIOTIC PUNT!

THE FIRST major gamble since the Euro 2012 draw has seen William Hill cut England’s odds of being eliminated at the Group stage of their campaign from 5/2 to 2/1. ‘No sooner did the 5/2 go out than unpatriotic punters were snapping it up and forcing us to take evasive action by cutting them to 2/1’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

HILLS…ENGLAND to qualify from Group? 2/1 no – 4/11 yes
ENGLAND STAGE OF ELIMINATION….. 2/1 Group Stage; 2/1 Quarter Finals; 4/1 Semis; 6/1 Runners Up; 7/1 Winners
REP IRELAND STAGE OF ELIMINATION…1/5 Group Stage; 9/2 QF; 12 Semis; 33 Runners Up; 50 Winners.

Euro 2012…gareth Barry, Goal Machine…rooney Ban

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

With the Republic of Ireland qualifying for Euro 2012 on Tuesday night, William Hill make them 11/4 to progress further than England in the tournament. Capello’s men are odds on, however, to go further that the Irish at 5/6. By defeating Sweden, England managed to go through the entirety of 2012 without losing once and Hills offer 12/1 that they do so next year (in 90 minutes only).

Reaching the semi finals in the tournament in Poland and the Ukraine would be considered an unbridled success and Hills are offering 6/4 that England reach the last four in 2012 and are also offering 9/2 that they do so in the 2014 World Cup. England are 100/1 to win both the 2012 Euros and 2014 World Cup.

England scored their 2,000th goal against Sweden but unfortunately, it will go down in the record books as an own goal. Hills have decided to pay out on Gareth Barry being first scorer, last scorer, anytime scorer and the 1-0 Gareth Barry scorecast.

“The scoreboard at Wembley displayed throughout the game that Gareth Barry was the goalscorer but despite Daniel Majstorovic being credited as having got the final touch we are celebrating a landmark 2,000 England goals by paying out to any punter who backed the City midfielder to score,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Wayne Rooney will face his disciplinary hearing on the 9th of December and will learn his Euro 2012 fate. He is 11/10 to have his three game reduced and 4/6 that it stays the same or is extended.

England Double (2012 Euros & 2014 WC): 100/1

England to reach Euro 2012 semi finals: 6/4 yes; 1/2 no

England to reach WC 2014 semi finals: 9/2 yes; 1/8

Euro 2012 – England/Rep Ireland Match Bet: 5/6 England; 11/4 Ireland; 2/1 Draw

Wayne Rooney Ban after the hearing on the 9th December: 11/10 Ban is reduced; 4/6 Ban stays the same or is extended

ENGLAND WIN DELIGHTS BOOKIES

UNUSUALLY, bookmakers were delighted with an England victory. ‘The majority of the corrrect score bets we took were for victories of 4-0 and upwards, so we are relieved that the goals petered out at two. Usually an England win equals bookie gloom, but we got off relatively lightly this time, particularly as a fair few punters fancied an upset win for Wales’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills make Jack Wilshere a 2/5 chance to start the next qualifier against Bulgaria.
