ENGLAND ODDS-ON TO CZECH OUT OF EURO TOURNAMENT EARLY

ENGLAND are now 4/6 with William Hill to crash out of the U21 tournament at the Group stage following their disappointing draw against Ukraine.

Having drawn for the second time, England are now offered at 9/4 to draw, and 11/10 to win, their final group game against Czech Republic. Daniel Sturridge is the 11/2 favourite to open the scoring in the match, while Danny Welbeck, who squandered a glorious chance against the Ukraine, is 13/2.
‘England’s first two games have proved disappointing for fans and punters alike but we need them to get through to boost betting interest in the event, even though they’ll inevitably cost us a few bob if they goon to win the tournament’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

England are now out to 11/2 to win the tournament, having been as short as 9/2. Spain, having effectively qualified from their group are now 8/11 clear favourites to go on and win the tournament.

The Fluctuating Fortunes Of England’s World Cup Bid

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

Monday evening’s Panorama exposé saw the odds of England hosting the World Cup pushed out to 3/1 with William Hill however, following a number of three figure bets, the odds have since been cut to 11/4. Not since England first threw their name into the hat have their odds been as long.

England initially expressed their interest in hosting the 2018 World Cup back in November 2005 and they were offered at 8/1. They then started to attract some tentative bets totalling around £3000, by the time England officially announced they would be entering the race, they were 4/1 shots. In February 2007 England became odds on favourites (4/6) for the first time but by March the English bid was back out to 6/4. The English odds hovered around Evens until November 2009 when Dave Richards handed in his resignation as Chairman of the Premier League and the odds were eased out to 11/4, however the announcement of the potential English stadia saw the odds slashed to 7/4.

Since the bid was handed over by David Beckham in January of this year, England have remained favourites at one point as short as 8/11, however when the Times uncovered the FIFA cash for votes scandal Russia’s bid overtook them for the first time.

“England’s odds have fluctuated massively over the course of the last five years but as it stands England are still our biggest loss but we would be more than happy to pay out on football coming home. In the long run, a domestic World Cup would see turnover break all World Cup betting records,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

How The Odds Have Changed:

5th November 2005 – Initial interest – 8/1
20th January 2007 – Official Bid Announcement – 4/1
12th February 2007 – First Odds-On – 4/6
24th November 2009 – Dave Richards resigns as Chairman of the Premier League – 11/4
7th January 2010 – Potential English Stadia announced – 7/4
12th May 2010 – David Beckham hands over Bid book – 11/10
12th June2010 – Back to odds on – 5/6
17th October 2010 – Times Exposé – 11/8
29th November 2010 – Panorama – 3/1

William Hill World Cup Odds:

2018 Bid: 4/6 Russia; 11/4 Portugal & Spain; 11/4 England; 20/1 Belgium & Holland

25/1 England Host and Win the World Cup in 2018

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

********************************PREMIER LEAGUE / ENGLAND SPECIALS*************************************************************

ODDS ON NEXT ENGLAND BOSS WILL BE ENGLISH

WILLIAM HILL have cut their odds for the next England manager to be English from 1/3 to 1/8 after an FA spokesman confirmed that they planned to appoint an English manager next time round. Hills offer 9/2 that the next appointee will not be English.
‘It is odd that the FA should be making such announcements at a time when they are also apparently confirming their confidence in Fabio who could, in theory, stay around until 2012’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills have made Harry Redknapp 9/4 favourite to be next England boss – with David Beckham at 20/1.

NEXT FULL TIME ENGLAND MANAGER…WILLIAM HILL……9/4 Redknapp; 7/2 Pearce; 6 Hodgson; 8 O’Neill; 11 Allardyce; 14 Bruce- Hughes; Mourinho; 20 Beckham; Shearer; Wenger.

BLACKPOOL FANS ROCK BOOKIES WITH 25/1 WINNER

WILLIAM HILL have paid out to punters who took their odds of 25/1 that Blackpool would top the Premier League at somestage this season after they led the way on goal difference after their 4-0 win at Wigan and before Chelsea hammered WBA 6-0.
‘Blackpool fans are collecting their first cash of the season after taking 25/1 that their side would top the League – we’re also concerned that so many of them backed Blackpool to WIN the League that we have had to slash their odds to 2000/1 and we already face a £5m loss – if they carry on as they have started we may start to get a little nervous!’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

YOU BET ROBERTOS ENDANGERED SPECIES IN PREMIER LEAGUE?

WILLIAM HILL are currently quoting the three Premier League managers named Roberto as their three favourites to be the next manager to leave their club – with Martinez clear 5/2 favourite following Wigan’s humiliating defeat to Blackpool, while Man C’s Mancini and West Brom’s Di Matteo are joint second favourites at 9/2.
‘The three are under pressure for different reasons but it is coincidental that they should all suddenly emerge as prime candidates for the chop after just one game’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
NEXT PREM BOSS TO GO…..WILLIAM HILL….5/2 Martinez; 9/2 Di Matteo; Mancini; 5 Hughton; 6 McLeish; 8 Bruce; Holloway; 12 Grant; 14 Allardyce; McCarthy; 20 Coyle; Hughes.
