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

FABIO 11/10 TO BE GONE BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR

WILLIAM HILL are offering odds of 11/10 that Fabio Capello becomes a former England manager during 2010 – ‘He seems to have a fortnight to convince the FA that he is the right man for the job – but even if he does so and then loses his first Euro 2012 qualifier he could be back in trouble’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. ‘Noone currently wants to bet on anything other than Fabio being out before the end of the year.’
HILLS NOW MAKE HARRY REDKNAPP 7/4 FAVOURITE TO BE THE NEXT PERMANENT ENGLAND MANAGER.

**HILLS OFFER 4/1 THAT THE PREMIER LEAGUE WILL INTRODUCE A WINTER BREAK BEFORE THE NEXT WORLD CUP: ‘Fabio supports the introduction of a winter break, but we can’t see it happening before the next World Cup and offer 4/1 that it will be- and 1/7 that it will not’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

**HILLS OFFER 1/3 THE NEXT MANAGER WILL BE ENGLISH, 9/4 NOT.

**WHEN WILL FABIO GO…11/10 – 2010;…6/1 2011….7/4 2012….11/1 2013…..7/1 2014…..14/1 2015+

ENGLAND TO WIN EURO 2012 – 9/1

WILLIAM HILL – NEXT PERMANENT ENGLAND MANAGER:

DAVID BECKHAM ghas been backed from 33/1 to 16/1 to become the next England manager. ‘If the FA decide to opt for a figurehead Englishman who has never managed at any level before for the England team, it appears there would be plenty of support for David Bechman amongst punters who have already availed themselves of our intial offer of 33/1’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

You bet Lampard scored, say bookies:
WILLIAM HILL PAY OUT ON LAMPARD ‘GOAL’
WILLIAM HILL are paying out to their customers who bet on Frank Lampard scoring against Germany after his goal was ruled out by the linesman and referee. ‘Even Sepp Blatter knows Lampard scored so we have already begun paying out to punters who backed him to do so at odds of 10/3. It will cost us a six figure sum.’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

VIDEO TECHNOLOGY ODDS CUT AFTER SECOND WORLD CUP FIASCO

AFTER a second blatant example of a wrong decision leading to a crucial goal award, William Hill have cut their odds for FIFA to put video technology in place in time for the 2014 World Cup from 5/1 to 7/2.
‘With two such huge decisions being proved to be incorrect within such a short space of time and costing both England and Mexico dear, the pressure will be on FIFA to take some action’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

1/3 Next England Boss English As Bookies Save £50m

1/3 Next England boss English:
BOOKIES £50m RELIEF AS ENGLAND CRASH OUT

BOOKMAKERS have been saved from a potential £50million+ payout by England’s humiliating exit from the World Cup. And William Hill, who made Fabio 7/4 to be gone by midnight after the match, are already betting on Capello’s successor, and make Harry Redknapp 7/4 favourite. ‘We go 1/3 that the next England manager will be English’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
‘William Hill alone would have been at least £7m worse off as a result of England winning the World Cup. It was the result we feared, but it now appears that patriotic punters fell for Fabio Capello’s unfounded optimism that England would somehow produce form they had never showed at any other time and manage to win the World Cup.
‘As a result the bookmaking industry was staring down the barrel of its biggest payout ever of over £50m’ said William Hill spokesman Graham Sharpe.
‘Even the disallowed goal now looks like a hollow excuse after England’s abject collapse in the second half’
HILLS ARE 5/4 THAT CAPELLO IS GONE BY THE END OF THE WORLD CUP.

You Bet: Ashley Cole Is The Most Hated Man In Britain

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

Bookies William Hill have been inundated with requests from punters looking to place novelty bets on England’s fallen idols. Perhaps the biggest figure of fun is Ashley Cole who is quoted as 1/3 to be the most hated man in Britain. Blundering keeper Rob Green does not escape the jibes with Hills quoting him as 1000/1 to be the spokesman for BP’s spill, given his previous form.

“First he laughs at £55,000 a week, then he cheats on a national treasure and now he texts that he hates England and English people. There can be little doubt that Ashley Cole is trying his best to scoop the award of most hated man in the country and the sooner he emigrates the better!” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Greatest Ever Patriotic Punt

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

England-Germany to become biggest betting match EVER!
BOOKIES BRACED FOR £30m ‘GREATEST EVER PATRIOTIC GAMBLE’
THE WORLD CUP will become the biggest betting event of all time with over £1 billion gambled for the first time on any one tournament; and the country’s biggest bookies, William Hill say that England versus Germany on Sunday is sparking the greatest patriotic gamble they have ever seen.
‘The traditional rivalry between the two countries over the years has made it a certainty that up to £30 million will be at stake on the outcome.’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’There has also been a major10/1 patriotic gamble that England win the game, beat the Aussies in the 1 day cricket international, and either Lewis Hamilton or Jenson Button wins Sunday’s Grand Prix.’

‘If England do go through and meet Argentina in the next round that could be an even bigger betting game. Should England go all the way and win the World Cup bookies will have to shell out up to £50m, making it the grimmest day in bookmaking – currently a record held by Frankie Dettori’s seven race winning streak at Ascot in September 1996’

England fans are not only backing their heroes to win the biggest match they have ever contested – but are also betting on how many of the players will sing the national anthem; whether vuvuzelas will figure in after-match celebrations – and whether manager Fabio Capello will receive an honorary knighthood!

WILLIAM HILL ENGLAND-GERMANY/WORLD CUP SPECIALS…..
1/2 England to be allowed a beer by Fabio on the eve of the match; 6/4 not.
11/10 9 or more England players to sing/mime National Anthem pre-match.
6/4 Rooney to score his first goal in 1st 90m play.
2/1 Defoe to score again within first 90m play.
3/1 England player(s) to celebrate victory over Germany by blowing vuvuzela.
3/1 England to score first five penalties in shoot out.
9/2 Game to go to penalty shoot-out.
10/1 Fabio pictured drinking pint of beer.
10/1 England to win on penalty shoot-out.
16/1 Fabio given honorary knighthood.
25/1 Fabio to appear in tv beer commercial.
33/1 Fabio to celebrate by blowing a vuvuzela.
100/1 England to beat Germany 4-2
200/1 England to beat Germany 5-1.
1000/1 Fabio to become country’s most popular christian name.

**ENGLAND are 17/10 to win the game in 90m play with Germany 9/5, and the draw 2/1. It is 11/1 for England tp win during extra time, and 10/1 to do so as a result of a penalty shoot-out.
**William Hill expect to take bets from customers in a record 188 countries via the internet on the England-Germany game.
ENGLAND 3/1 FOR FIVE STAR PENALTY DISPLAY
WILLIAM HILL are offering 3/1 that England will score ALL of their first FIVE penalties in any shoot-out they take part in at the World Cup.
HILLS OFFER 9/2 THAT ENGLAND-GERMANY WILL BE DECIDED VIA A PENALTY SHOOT OUT, 10/1 THAT ENGLAND WIN BY THAT METHOD, 9/1 THAT GERMANY DO SO.
And Hills have opened a book on whether named players score their first spot-kicks in the first shoot-out they contest:
WILLIAM HILL…..PAYING THE PENALTY: ( prices to score)
Barry yes 1/3, no 9/4
Gerrard yes 1/3, no 9/4
Lampard yes 2/7, no 5/2
Milner yes 2/7, no 5/2
Rooney yes 1/3, no 9/4
ENGLAND FAVOURITES TO OUTDO ANDY MURRAY
WILLIAM HILL offer 4/7 that the England football team are still in the World Cup when Andy Murray is knocked out of Wimbledon – 5/4 that it happens the other way round! ‘There are no English players left in the Wimbledon tournament so Andy has already scored a win for Scotland over England – but now comes the big one – Andy to outlast the England football team.’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
DEVON PUNTER CREAMS OFF BIG WORLD CUP PROFITS
A mystery punter from Eastern Europe has won over £50,000 on a World Cup winning streak at William Hill in Tiverton. This makes him Hill’s biggest ever football winner in Devon. Having staked £3770 on Michael Dawson to score first in England’s dour 0-0 draw with Algeria at 25/1, the mystery man claimed back his stake due to Dawson not playing. He promptly placed the whole £3770 on Wesley Sneijder to score first for Holland against Japan at 6/1 and Paraguay to beat Slovakia at 10/11 – both at the weekend. This won the man £50,380.91. He then proceeded to reinvest £11,000 of this on England to win against Slovenia winning him a further £4,440 taking his winning streak to well over £50,000.
**BY CONTRAST, a William Hill telephone betting client was deprived of a potential £360,000 payout from an accumulator bet on Group outcomes when Italy failed to qualify from their Group.

Now For England Mega Gamble !

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

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.
