Scotland Red Hot Favourites Against Liechtenstein

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

Scotland are the 1/14 favourites at William Hill to win against Liechtenstein who are priced at 16/1 to win. The last player to score a hat-trick for Scotland was Colin Stein in 1970. Any Scottish player to break that duck is priced at 8/1. Liechtenstein’s top scorer is Mario Frick, who plays for St Gallen, and he is priced at 12/1 to score at any time during the game.

Scotland are 5/1 to qualify for the 2012 European Championships but with Spain and the Czech Republic also in their group they face an uphill task. Spain are 1/9 to win the group and the Czechs are 11/2 to win. Scotland are 12/1 third favourites.

“The odds suggest that Scotland should stroll to victory and the hosts will be keen to give their goal difference a boost at Liechtenstein’s expense,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

50m Final Set To Seal £1bn World Cup Gamble

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

£50 MILLION FINAL SET TO SEAL £1 BILLION RECORD WORLD CUP GAMBLE

DESPITE England’s absence from the latter stages of the tournament British football fans are set to help swell the betting turnover on the World Cup towards a record £1 billion, while £50million is expected to be staked on Sunday’s Final between Holland and hot favourites Spain.
‘After England crashed out, patriotic football fans had to transfer their affections elsewhere – and they seem to have done so by placing bets on their adopted second favourite country. With England gone, they no longer had automatic loyalty to one country and therefore have used a bet to enhance their enjoyment of matches. And the enormous coverage given to Paul the Psychic Octopus has also kept the tournament in punters’ sights, so we expect a record industry betting turnover for both the Final and the tournament with £1bn and £50m respectively staked’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
SPAIN are 4/7 favourites with William Hill to be crowned as World Champions – thus justifying Paul the Psychic Octopus’ predicition – with Holland the 6/4 outsiders.

**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!

Spanish Odds On Drift As Punters Go Dutch

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

*********WILLIAM HILL WORLD CUP SPECIALS**********

SPANISH ODDS ON THE DRIFT AS PUNTERS GO DUTCH
WITH PUNTERS APPARENTLY reluctant to back Spain to beat the Dutch in the World Cup Final, William Hill are to lengthen their 90 minutes odds to an industry-leading 6/5 for online and telephone clients from 7a.m on Friday morning. ‘Despite already taking bets of £10,000, £25,000 and £50,000 for Spain to win the World Cup, we cannot now seem to persuade punters to back Spain to beat the Dutch in 90 minutes, so, as they are a seven figure winner for us we are trying to tempt punters to support them – hopefully Paul the Octopus will tip them to help us out!’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

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.

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.

‘It has been a good World Cup for bookies thus far, with 52% favs winning , 27% draws and 21% underdogs, which doesn’t sound that great, except that the high turnover matches have tended to go our way – not least the England matches, and the Germany-Spain semi in which there were bets of 500,000 and 75,000 euros on a German win’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WILLIAM HILL now make Spain 4/7 favourites to win the World Cup, with Holland offered at 6/4.
Hills make Spain 6/5 to win in 90m with Holland 13/5 and the draw 11/5. (PRICES AVAILABLE FROM 7A.M.)

Hills offer 9/2 that the Final will go to a penalty shoot-out; Holland are 10/1 to win by that method, with Spain also quoted at 10/1. Holland are 11/1 to win in extra time, with Spain 9/1 to do likewise.

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; 100 Suarez.

VAN BOMMEL FOR BOOKING?
WILLIAM HILL have cut their price for Van Bommel to be booked during the Final (90m play) from 9/4 to 13/8 after taking a string of bets of up to £600 a time on the tough tackling Dutchman to fall foul of the referee.

REPEAT FOR PUYOL?
AFTER Carles Puyol headed Spain to victory against Germany, William Hill offer 25/1 that he will score again from a header during 90m play of the Final.

FERNANDO PENALTY?
WILLIAM HILL offer 12/1 that Torres will win a penalty.(90m play)
ARJEN ROBBEN is 13/2 with Hills to score from outside the box.(90m play)

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.
