WITH HARRY REDKNAPP encouraging speculation that Spurs are keen to sign Joe Cole, William Hill make the former Chelsea star 5/4 to join up with Harry at White Hart Lane.’Harry is not being over-subtle in trying to lure Joe to Spurs and he generally gets his man’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

As Prem kick-off approaches:
WHO’S GOING, WHO’S STAYING?

THE FUTURE of a number of high profile Premier League stars is still in doubt as the season looms large on the horizon following the end of the World Cup. William Hill have opened a book on whether Messrs Cole A; Fabregas, Gerarrd, Mascherano and Torres will stick or twist at their current clubs and make Mascherano the most likely to go, Gerrard the most likely to stay.
‘Decision-day must be approaching for all these players who can no longer hide behind the excuse of concentrating on the World Cup to explain why they have yet to commit themselves to staying where they are, or announcing they want to leave’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe,

Players To Still Be At Their Current Clubs On 1st Day Of Premiership Season:

Fernando Torres Yes 2/5 No 7/4
Steven Gerrard Yes 1/6 No 7/2
Javier Mascherano Yes 10/3 No 1/5
Ashley Cole Yes 1/2 No 6/4
Cesc Fabregas Yes 8/11 No Evs

UNITED JOY FOR JOSE? YOU BET IT COULD HAPPEN……..

WILLIAM HILL make Jose Mourinho 3/1 favourite to succeed Sir Alex Ferguson as Manchester United manager as reports suggest that the former Chelsea boss is still interested in eventually taking over at Old Trafford.
But Hills believe Mourinho may not have to wait too long to realise his ambition – as they make 2011 11/10 favourite to be the year in which Sir Alex quits United. ‘Mourinho and Manchester United could be a marriage made in Heaven, or a recipe for disaster – it will be fun finding out which if it does happen’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WHEN WILL SIR ALEX FERGUSON CEASE TO BE MAN U BOSS?…..11/10 2011…..9/4 2012;…3/1 2010……8/1 2013+

WHO WILL BE NEXT PERMANENT MAN U MANAGER?…..3/1 Mourinho; 9/2 Moyes; 8/1 O’Neill; 12 Guardiola; 16/1 Capello; Queiroz; 20 Bruce; Cantona; Hiddink; Hughes.

Octopus Paul’s Punters Squids In !

OCTOPUNTERS SUCKER BOOKIES FOR HALF A MILLION

BOOKMAKERS William Hill estimate that punters gambling on Paul the Psychic Octopus’s World Cup selections have won up to half a million pounds from the betting industry with their wagers.
‘Paul’s incredible Octop-eight winning selections have won any punter who bet £10 on each one of them almost £200 each, while punters far-sighted enough to keep re-investing their winnings on the next selection all the way through will have won at odds in excess of 300/1 – and there are thousands who are squids-in thanks to the psychic cepholopod’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
‘Picking all of Germany’s victories, their two defeats, and Spain’s World Cup final triumph was one of the finest tipping feats ever’ added Sharpe, ‘We can but hope Paul has gone to a rest home for retired octopii by the time the next World Cup gets underway. Fortunately for us, though, there were plenty of punters who ignored Paul’s tips, and they have contributed an excellent profit for us on a record betting turnover for a sporting event of £1 billion’

WEBB’S WORLD IS A WINNER

HOWARD WEBB, who was backed down from 6/4 to 4/11 to take charge of the World Cup Final, is more likely to award a penalty than to send a player off in normal time at the Final, say bookmakers William Hill who offer 3/1 about the former, and 7/2 the latter. ‘Webb was well backed to get the Final,so he is the only Englishman to cost us any sort of World Cup payout’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WILLIAM HILL WEBB SPECIALS
Howard Webb to award a penalty during normal time 3/1
Howard Webb to send a player off during normal time 7/2
Howard Webb to send a player off at any time (including extra time) 11/4
Howard Webb to order a penalty to be retaken during normal time 25/1 (20/1 incl extra time)

GOAL LINE TECHNOLOGY NOW ODDS-ON FOR WORLD CUP, SAY BOOKIES

WILLIAM HILL believe it is now an odds-on shot that goal-line technology will be in place when the next World Cup Finals get underway in 2014. ‘Having offered 5/1 about it happening after the Lampard fiasco we are now going 1/2 that it will be a done deal when the next Finals kick off’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

William Hill…..Will goal line technology be in use for the first match of the 2014 World Cup Finals?

Yes 1/2
No 6/4

**A William Hill Manchester betting shop client stands to collect £424,000 if David Villa, now 8/11 favourite to do so, ends up as tournament top scorer after placing a £30,000 double on Holland to win their Group at 4/7, with Villa at 8/1.

**A William Hill telephone betting client could collect £275,000 for a £50,000 bet on Spain to win the World Cup at 9/2.

**Another Hill’s shop punter in Essex placed a £250 treble on Rafa Nadal and Serena Williams to win their respective Wimbledon singles tournaments, running on to Holland – and will collect £30,000 if the Dutch oblige.

**PUNTERS who have backed every Paul the Psychic Octopus tip so far are £84 better off by staking £10 to win on each one – and over £1000 if they reinvested winnings from each selection on to the next one!

PAUL THE OCTOPUS PUNTERS ARE £1400 AHEAD OF BOOKIES

PUNTERS following the World Cup tips from Paul the Octopus have won up to £1400 by doing so, say bookmakers William Hill, who have taken so many bets on the sea creature tipping the World Cup winner that they have cut their odds for him to do it from Even money to 10/11.
‘If you had just bet £10 on each of Paul’s six successive winning selections on Germany or their opponents so far, you would have made a healthy profit of £84 – but if you had put the winnings from each bet all on to the next one, you would now be looking at £1400 of profit!’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
‘Punters are superstitious creatures at the best of times – and many have favourite tipsters they like to follow, but they tend to be human, so this is the first time we’ve genuinely had punters coming into betting shops and asking staff about the predictions made by an octopus.’

William Hill offer:
100/1 To become part of Fabio Capello’s staff .
100/1 Eaten by the German team on return from the World Cup .
1000 King Juan Carlos to confer Spain’s highest honour, the Order of the Golden Fleece, on the Octopus .
1000/1 Squidnapped by distraught German fans .

Greatest World Cup Winning Result Ever For Bookies

Bookies celebrate best winning World Cup game ever as:
PUNTER LOSES BIGGEST WORLD CUP BET OF ALL

A WILLIAM HILL telephone betting customer who staked a record 500,000 euros on Germany to beat Spain has lost his wager – the largest World Cup bet ever. ‘Not only did the 500,000 euro bet lose, but so did the 100,000 and 80,000 euro bets on Germany to win the tournament, and another 75,000 euro wager on them to get past Spain’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘Even though we have clients with £25,000 and £10,000 on Spain to win the World Cup we will be going into the Final celebrating the fact that Germany aren’t there. Germany losing that game made a difference of around £5million to us – it was almost certainly our best World Cup result ever. Now we’d like the Dutch to round off a fantastic tournament for us by beating Spain’ .

EVENS PAUL THE OCTOPUS TO PICK WORLD CUP WINNERS!

AND WILLIAM HILL ARE NOW OFFERING ODDS OF EVEN MONEY THAT PAUL THE OCTOPUS WILL TIP THE WINNERS OF THE WORLD CUP AFTER HIS LATEST TRIUMPH IN SELECTING SPAIN TO BEAT GERMANY. ‘Punters are keen to keep on the right side of Paul’s tips, so we are giving them the chance to bet that he’ll pick the winner BEFORE they even know which side he has opted for’ said William Hill spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WILLIAM HILL now make Spain 8/15 favourites to win the World Cup, with Holland offered at 6/4.
Hills make Spain Evens to win in 90m with Holland 12/5 and the draw 2/1.
DAVID VILLA is 8/11 to end up as World Cup top scorer with Hills who also offer 5/2 Sneijder; 4 Klose; 14 Muller; 16 Forlan.

WILLIAM HILL ; WORLD CUP SEMI-FINAL SPECIALS

GERMANS BACKED TO CAUSE PAIN IN SPAIN

WILLIAM HILL cut their odds about Germany eliminating Spain after heavy backing for them, including a single bet of 75,000 euros to do so at odds of Even money, which they have now shortened to 10/11.

GERMANY are William Hill’s least favoured winners of the World Cup. ‘We have a couple of hefty bets on the Germans – an 80,000 euros at 14/1 (which would win 1,120,000 euros); and another of 100,000 euros at 13/2 (which potentially wins 650,000 euros) – which mean that we’d rather see anyone else winning .’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

The biggest bet Hills have taken for Spain to win the World Cup is £10,000 at odds of 7/2 (potentially winning £35,000) in a Nottinghamshire betting shop.

DUTCH 11/8 WORLD CUP FAVOURITES

HOLLAND are now 11/8 favourites to win the World Cup with William Hill who make Germany 2/1, with Spain 9/4 outsiders of the remaining three. ‘Amazingly enough, Spain who began the tournament as clear favourites, are now the outsiders of the three sides remaining and Holland, despite winning all of their games are still odds against despite being the only one of the three actually in the Final, because of a huge gamble on the Germans’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
THE BIGGEST BET STAKED ON HOLLAND TO WIN THE WORLD CUP IS £5000 AT 10/1 WITH WILLIAM HILL – PLACED BY A GERMAN TELEPHONE BETTING CLIENT!
**Hllls offer 17/20 that Holland will face Germany in the Final and the same price that they will play Spain. ‘We cannot split the sides in the other final’ said Sharpe.

DAVID VILLA is 8/11 favourite to end up as the World Cup’s top scorer with William Hill who also offer 3/1 Sneijder; 7/2 Klose; 16/1 Muller; 20/1 Forlan.

MARA-GONER?

You Bet: Diego Is Not A Mara-goner!

William Hill have opened betting on whether or not Diego Maradona will still be in charge of the Argentine national team when they play their friendly match against Ireland on the 11th of August.

The bookies make him a 4-7 chance to be in charge of the team to play Ireland, and 5-4 not to be.

Ireland’s match against Argentina will be the first soccer international at the new Aviva stadium in Dublin. The stadium was built to replace the old Lansdowne road which was demolished in 2007.

‘Maradona was given a heroes’ welcome on returning home to Buenos Aires, and we think the support he received from the public is likely to persuade him to stay on,’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe ‘However, we are talking about Diego Maradona – who what goes through his head at any given time.’

‘Maradona draws huge media attention wherever he goes – so it would be great news for Ireland and the new stadium sponsors if he stays in charge.’

Will Maradona still be in charge of Argentina for their match against Ireland on the 11th August: (William Hill bet): 4-7 Yes, 5-4 No
