FABIO BACKED TO STAY AS BOSS
WILLIAM HILL have shortened their odds that Fabio Capello will still be England manager when they play their August friendly against Hungary, from 4/7 to 1/2, and have lengthened the odds that he is gone by then from 5/4 to 6/4. ‘There seems to be a sudden flurry of support for Fabio to survive – but we do offer 11/10 that he has gone before the end of the year’ said Hill’s spookesman Graham Sharpe.
With Roy Hodgson seemingly now set to take over at Liverpool, William Hill have made Harry Redknapp 13/8 favourite to be the next England manager. ‘Many thought the England job was there for Hodgson’s taking but maybe he thought it would be a poisoned chalice to take on after the great job he has done at Fulham’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’Mind you, if Capello hangs on for a couple of seasons, Hodgson could still be in the right place at the right time!’

WM HILL – TO BE NEXT PERMANENT ENGLAND BOSS..
13/8 Harry Redknapp; 6/1 Pearce; 8/1 Hodgson; 10/1 O’Neill; 12/1 Allardyce; Mourinho; 16/1 Beckham; Hughes; Bruce; 20 Hiddink; 25 Shearer.

14/1 ENGLAND TO WIN NEXT TWO GAMES – AND THE WORLD CUP!

ENGLAND are 14/1 with Hills to defeat both Algeria and Slovenia, and then go on to win the World Cup. ‘This should be an attractive bet for anyone who fancies England to go all the way – because if they can’t win both of these matches they won’t have much chance of lifting the trophy’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

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

ROONEY SPARKS £1 BILLION GAMBLE

PATRIOTIC PUNTERS backing England to bring the World Cup home have sparked the biggest gamble of all time, say bookmakers William Hill.
‘Over £1 billion will be gambled on the World Cup, making it bigger than the Grand National, General Election, Wimbledon , or Big Brother’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
And the nightmare scenario for bookies will be an England win – after a huge patriotic punt left betting shops facing mega payouts should England finally break their run of 44 years without a major trophy.
‘Despite Rio’s terrible injury we have been knocked over in the rush to back England to win the tournament at 8/1 today’added Sharpe.’Punters believe Rooney is the key to victory and are backing him to be England’s top scorer at 11/8 and the tournament’s top scorer at 10/1’
WILLIAM HILL make Spain 4/1 favourites to win the World Cup, and also offer 9/2 Brazil; 13/2 Argentina; 8/1 England; 10/1 Holland; 14/1 Germany; 16/1 Italy; 18/1 France.
