Frank Backed To Start As England Reign Over Spain

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

England were priced at 7/2 with William Hill to win against the World Champions who were the first odds on team to face the Three Lions at the new Wembley. Frank Lampard scored the winner and stood in for John Terry as captain and Hills are undecided as to whether he will start England’s Euro 2012 campaign offering 5/6 he starts England’s first game and 5/6 that he does not. Darren Bent set up the winner and, in the absence of Rooney is 4/7 to start England’s first match.

Spain remain the 5/2 favourites to win the Euros next summer while England are 11/1 joint fifth favourites.

“We are not going to get too carried away and suddenly make England favourites for the Euros but a result like that could possibly tempt a few more punters to have a go at our 11/1,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Capello will be taking charge of England for the last time in Poland and the Ukraine with Harry Redknapp the favourite to take the reins after him. His odds have drifted from 8/11 to 7/4 but he is still quite away ahead of Martin O’Neill and Arsene Wenger who are the 8/1 second favourites.

To Start 1st Euro 2012 game for England:

Lampard: 5/6 yes; 5/6 no
Terry: 1/6 yes; 7/2 no
Bent: 4/7 yes; 5/4

Next England Manager: 7/4 Harry Redknapp; 8/1 Martin O’Neill; 8/1 Arsene Wenger; 14/1 Gareth Southgate; 14/1 Roy Hodgson; 16/1 Stuart Pearce; 16/1 Jose Mourinho; 20/1 BAR

Euro 2012 Winner: 5/2 Spain; 7/2 Germany; 5/1 Holland; 10/1 Italy; 11/1 England; 11/1 France; 16/1 Russia; 22/1 Portugal; 33/1 BAR

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

He’s odds on for Team GB, but:
SACRE BLEU! BECKS OFF TO FRANCE?

DAVID BECKHAM has been cut from 4/6 to 1/3 with William Hill to play in the London Olympics for Team GB – while Hills have also opened a book on which will be his next club if he doesn’t re-sign for LA Galaxy.
Becks is 6/4 to sign another contract for the US outfit, and 1/2 not to – while Hills make French side PSG 1/2 favourites to be the next club to sign the former England skipper. ‘Short of inviting Stuart Pearce to be god-father to the next baby Becks, it is difficult to see how much more obvious he could make it that he expects to be included in Team GB’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘But the question of where he will next ply his trade looks likely to see him turning up in Paris.’

WILLIAM HILL BECKS’ SPECIALS…
To play any part in Team GB Olympic football team – 1/3 yes; 9/4 no
To re-sign for LA Galaxy? – 6/4 yes; 1/ 2 no
Which club will Becks sign for next?…1/2 PSG; 5/1 Spurs; 6/1 QPR; 10/1 Anzhi; 10/1 Blackburn; 12/1 Villa; 16/1 AC Milan; 33/1 Real Madrid. Others on request.

William Hill offer 5/1 that Stuart Pearce leads the men to glory in London while Hope Powell is 8/1 to do the same for the women.

Beckham to be in the GB 2012 Olympic squad: 4/7
Beckham to captain the GB Olympic team in the opening match: 7/4

Will Big Sam Be The Big Man For England?

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

Sam Allardyce believes that he has what it takes to be the next England manager and claims that his stake would be strengthened should he get West Ham promoted this season. Allardyce is currently a 20/1 shot with William Hill to get the job after Fabio Capello leaves his post. Harry Redknapp is currently the 8/11 favourite with Martin O’Neill 8/1 second favourite.

“Big Sam has always been around the fringes whenever there has been discourse about the England manager’s job and he clearly thinks that he could still do the job,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Next England Manager: 8/11 Harry Redknapp; 8/1 Martin O’Neill; 11/1 Roy Hodgson; 12/1 Gareth Southgate; 16/1 Stuart Pearce; 16/1 Steve Bruce; 16/1 Joes Mourinho; 20/1 Sam Allardyce; 20/1 Carlo Ancelotti; 20/1 Gus Hiddink; 20/1 Arsene Wenger; 25/1 David Beckham; 25/1 Glenn Hoddle; 25/1 Mark Hughes; 25/1 Alan Shearer; 25/1 Ian Holloway…others on request

Redknapp Odds Slashed For England Job…but Will He Be Before Or After Euros?

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

With astonishing claims suggesting that the FA are drawing up plans to oust Fabio Capello before the Euro Championships and replace him with Harry Redknapp, Hills have slashed the odds on the Spurs boss being the man to replace the Italian when he does eventually step down. He is 8/11 to be the next England boss, with Martin O’Neill his closest contender at 8/1 for the job.

“The reports on Sunday morning were pretty sensational and it would appear that when Capello does go, whether before or after the Euros, Harry Redknapp has been earmarked as the successor,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Wayne Rooney bagged his second hat-trick of the season on Saturday and William Hill offer 5/4 that those are his only two. He is 9/4 to get one more this season and 3/1 to get two more. He is 6/1 to net five or more trebles this season.

Next England Manager: 8/11 Harry Redknapp; 8/1 Martin O’Neill; 11/1 Roy Hodgson; 12/1 Gareth Southgate; 16/1 Stuart Pearce; 16/1 Steve Bruce; 16/1 Jose Mourinho; 20/1 BAR

Who be will be England Manager at Euro 2012: 1/3 Capello; 9/4 Redknapp

How many hat-tricks will Wayne Rooney score this season (currently on 2): 5/4 two; 9/4 three; 3/1 four; 6/1 five or more

Romelu Lukaku appears to be the favourite to go to the Bridge, however, with the Anderlecht youngster 4/6 to make the move.

Modric: 11/10 yes; 4/6 no
Neymar: 5/2 yes; 2/7 no

All of the nations are odds on to have at least one player start the first game of the tournament.

“There are murmurings of discontent from some of the home nations associations, however, it looks as though common sense will prevail and each country will have at least one representative at the Games,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Hills go 4/9 about David Beckham starting the first game of the Olympics and offer 20/1 that he is the manager of the side. Stuart Pearce is the favourite to be the boss of the side however, offered at 5/2.
