STEVEN GERRARD 7/4 TO START FOR ENGLAND

William Hill offer 7/4 that Steven Gerrard will start England’s next Euro qualifier against Montenegro in October – and offer 6/5 that if he starts he will finish the game. ‘Gerrard is unlikely to have played a great deal of football before that game, so Capello may decide not to risk starting him’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WILLIAM HILL:

WILL GERRARD START VE MONTENEGRO?…..7/4 YES; 2/5 NO
WILL GERARD FINISH THE GAME IF HE STARTS?….6/5 YES; 8/13 NO

Kenny Dalglish’s ‘Buy English’ campaign seems a step closer to recruiting another body with Stuart Downing set to make the move to Anfield and Hills are offering 8/1 that between nine and 11 of Liverpool’s first starting XI of next season are English. Charlie Adam also appears set to join the Reds and Hills offer 11/10 that he scores more than Stephen Gerrard next season. Liverpool have also been cut slightly, from 11/1 to 10/1 to win the Premier League.

Cesc Fabregas Next Club: 1/3 Barcelona; 3/1 Real Madrid; 9/1 Manchester City

Fabregas to still be at Arsenal after the Summer transfer window: 2/7 no; 5/2 yes

WILL GERRARD BE FIT FOR SEASON?

WITH STEVEN GERRARD a non-runner on Liverpool’s pre-season tour of Asia, William Hill have opened a book on whether the Reds’ skipper will start their first Premier League game of the season – and offer 2/5 that he WILL, 7/4 that he will NOT. ‘Gerrard is still a key player for Liverpool and it would be a real setback for them if he was not fit enough to start their campaign’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Liverpool play Sunderland at Anfield in their opening game and are 7/20 to win it with Hills who make the visitors 6/1 and the draw 16/5.

Wales Lengthened As England Are Baled Out…has Jack The Lad Spelled The End For Lamps?

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

Following the news that Gareth Bale has pulled out of the Wales squad to face England, William Hill have shortened England, from 4/9 to 2/5, to win the match at the Millennium Stadium on Saturday. Wales are now 15/2, having been 6/1, while the draw is 10/3.

“It goes to show how important a player Gareth Bale is for Wales. Not even Ryan Giggs in his pomp withdrawing from the squad would have affected the odds this much,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Jack Wilshere looks set to start ahead of Frank Lampard in the Wales game but Hills feel that this is just a small blip and have Lamps as the 11/10 favourite to start more Euro 2012 qualifiers than either Steven Gerrard or Jack Wilshere. Hills also offer 5/4 that he plays all five of England’s remaining Euro qualifiers.

“There has been a great deal of discussion over the years about accommodating both Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard in the centre of midfield, but the odds appear to suggest that the experiment will continue until at least the start of Euro 2012,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Wales / England Odds:

90 Minutes: 15/2 Wales; 2/5 England; 10/3 Draw

How Many More Euro Qualifying Games Will Frank Lampard Start: 10/1 None; 20/1 One; 16/1 Two; 7/2 Three; 2/1 Four; 5/4 All Five

Who Will Start More Qualifying Games In 2011: 11/10 Frank Lampard; 5/4 Gerrard; 4/1 Jack Wilshere

Frank Lampard To Quit International Football In 2011: 7/2 Yes; 1/6 No

Matt Jarvis To Play Any Part In Euro 2011 Qualification: 8/11 Yes; 1/1 No

David Beckham To Play Any Part In Euro 2011 Qualification: 9/4 Yes; 1/3 No

Arrested Developments: Cole Could Find Himself In Hot Water Once More

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

William Hill have reopened betting on the next Premier League footballer to be arrested following the news that Ashley Cole is likely to escape punishment for his air-rifle shenanigans. Cole heads the betting at 7/1, with another of football’s not-so-squeaky-clean luminaries, Joey Barton, 8/1 to be the next Premier League footballer to be arrested for a new offence. John Terry is the 10/1 third favourite.

“Ashley has been off the front pages for quite a while now but recent revelations have seen him return with a flourish. The odds suggest that Cole could become quite the rogue over the next few months ,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Hills have already paid out on Craig Bellamy and Jack Wilshere and could still find themselves paying out on Cole if he is arrested over the air rifle incident.

William Hill Next Premier League Player Arrested Prices*:

7/1 Ashley Cole; 8/1 Joey Barton; 10/1 John Terry; 11/1 Anton Ferdinand; 11/1 Jack Wilshere; 11/1 Mario Ballotelli; 12/1 Andy Carroll; 12/1 El Hadji Diouf; 12/1 Steven Gerrard; 14/1 Wayne Rooney; 16/1 Barry Ferguson; 16/1 Kevin Nolan; 20/1 Jermaine Pennant; 25/1 Frank Lampard; 25/1 Jermaine Defoe; 25/1 Rio Ferdinand; 33/1 Carlos Teez; 33/1 Didier Drogba; 33/1 Joe Cole; 33/1 Nicolas Anelka

*must be for a new offence starting from the 1st March 2011

In Cole-d Blood: Ashley Favourite To Visit The Cop Shop

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

Ashley Cole has been made the 8/1 joint favourite with William Hill to be the next Premier League player to be arrested following reports that he shot a student with an air rifle. Joey Barton is also 8/1, while John Terry is the 10/1 third favourite.

“Rather bizarrely, reports are suggesting that Ashley Cole shot someone with an air rifle and it could well be that his bad boy ways are not behind him just yet,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Hills have already paid out on Craig Bellamy and Jack Wilshere this year and the odds suggest that Ashley Cole could make it a “hat-trick of hoodlums.”
