Northern Ireland Out To 7/1 To Reach Euro’s

Northern Ireland have been pushed out to 7/1 from 6/1 to qualify for Euro 2012 following their disappointing draw 1-1 with the Faroe Islands on Tuesday afternoon.

Nigel Worthington’s side were odds on favourites to beat the minnows, but they were only saved an embarrassing defeat when Kyle Lafferty equalised in the 76th minute.

Northern Ireland are now quoted as 14/1 shots to win Group C by William Hill who make Italy the 4/11 favourites to win the Group.

‘Northern Ireland seem to have no problem competing against the big teams in Europe – it’s the lesser teams who are the problem,’ said William Hill spokesman Tony Kenny ‘They put in a brilliant performance against Italy last week, but they failed to follow it up in the Faroes.’

Now For England Mega Gamble !

NOW BOOKIES FEAR £50M WORLD CUP MEGA GAMBLE ON ENGLAND

DESPITE facing a payout of up to £50million if England now go on to win the World Cup, bookies have welcomed their victory over Slovenia.
‘If England had failed to qualify, Britain’s bookies would have won £30million – as it is we now face a payout of up to £50million if they ultimately go all the way and win the tournament. We’ve slashed their odds from 10/1 to 7/1’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’In an ideal world we’d like England to reach the World Cup Final and lose in a penalty shoot-out, perhaps to New Zealand – but if they do win it, well, at least we’ve had 44 years to save up since their last success!
‘There was a huge gamble on England winning the game which forced us to shorten their odds pre-match as we took five figure bets galore for them – and now patriotic punters are pouring their cash on England to win the tournament – we’ve already seen two bets of £6500 amongst the plethora of five figure wagers, and expect to take tens of thousands more bets for England in the euphoria of their qualification.
‘The current worst day in bookmaking history came in September 1996 when Frankie Dettori cost the bookies over £30m – an England World Cup victory is likely to dwarf even that’ added Sharpe.
