You Bet It Will Be Capello’s Kids Against Bulgaria

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

WOULD YOU BACK CAPELLO’S KIDS TO TAKE ON BULGARIA?

WITH THE average age of England’s line up in their final World Cup match against Germany an arthritic 29.18 years old, William Hill are betting on what it will be when they line up for their next competitive game, the opening Euro qualifier against Bulgaria.
‘It is all very well Fabio glibly suggesting he’ll be looking at new players but the crucial element in most fans’ minds will be the ages of those new players’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’We beliebe that there is every chance we’ll see a drop in the average age of four years or more and make 24.1- 25 our 5/2 favourite to be the average age.’

William Hill…..Average age of England’s starting XI v Bulgaria (1st Euro qualifier):

22 and Under…..25/1
22.1-23……9/1
23.1-24…..7/2
24.1-25…..5/2
25.1-26…..3/1
26.1-27……6/1
27.1-28……10/1
28.1 and Over…..16/1

HILLS HAVE ALSO OPENED A BOOK ON HOW MANY EURO QUALIFYING POINTS ENGLAND WILL TAKE FROM WALES…..’Disappointment for England in the Wales matches would attract huge criticism from fans and media, so these are two vital matches for Fabio – and we’re increasing the pressure by making them odds on at 8/15 to take all six points’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Hills……England Points v Wales in the Euro qualifiers:

6….8/15
4….5/2
3….8/1
2….25/1
1….40/1
0…..200/1

FABIO ODDS ON TO STICK AROUND UNTIL 2012

WILLIAM HILL now make 2012 their 8/11 favourite to be the year in which Fabio Capello ceases to be England manager.
Despite Capello hitning at bringing in new faces for the Hungary friendly Hills still make Rooney, Terry, Gerrard and Lampard odds-on shots to start the match. (See prices below). But Emile Heskey has already been backed to miss out, from 4/6 to 4/11 not to start.

HILLS have lengthened Harry Redknapp’s odds of becoming the next England manager from 13/8 to 9/4 favourite, but slashed Roy Hodgson from 6/1 to 11/4 second favourite. ‘Who knows what Harry’s fortunes will be once the job becomes vacant, but if Hodgson impresses at Anfield he could well be in just the right place at just the right time to take over if Capello departs in 2012’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Next England Manager
Harry Redknapp…9/4
Roy Hodgson…11/4
Stuart Pearce..7/2
Martin O’Neill…10/1
David Beckham…10/1
Jose Mourinho..12/1
Sam Allardyce…12/1

ROY 1/7 TO WIN NOTHING AT LIVERPOOL NEXT SEASON
William Hill believe Roy Hodgson has almost no chance of winning anything with Liverpool in his first season – and make the Anfield side 1/7 to end up with nothing.’To turn them from last season’s mediocrities into new season marvels will test even Hodgson’s plentiful powers – we think a trophy blank is almost a certainty’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, adding, ‘Our betting suggests 5th or 6th in the Premiership with more points than last season is the most likely outcome for Liverpool’.

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.

Lancashire Man’s £150,000 South American World Cup Double Gamble

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

LANCASHIRE MAN’S £150,000 SOUTH AMERICAN WORLD CUP DOUBLE GAMBLE
A William Hill client, from Lytham St Annes in Lancashire is delighted that both Brazil and Argentina have reached the Quarter Finals of the World Cup – giving him two chances of landing a £150,000 gamble.
The anonymous gambler, who placed his bet via a letter to the bookie, has staked an £8824 double on Brazil winning the World Cup this year AND in 2014 – at odds of 16/1, which will win him £150,008 if it comes off.
The same punter has also staked a £5173 double on Argentina to win this year – going on to Brazil to win in 2014 at odds of 28/1, also set to produce a return of £150,017.
‘There is little doubt that our client is convinced that Brazil are certainities to win the World Cup when it is held in their country in 2014, and believes that either they or Argentina can set up a huge payout by winning in South Africa – he is obviously a most patient punter, too!’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
The World Cup is set to break all betting records by becoming the first event ever to produce a betting turnover in excess of £1billion. ‘England’s defeat means that patriotic punters now have to switch their allegiance to another country – and the easiest way to do that is by betting on them.’ added Sharpe.
