ENGLAND WIN DELIGHTS BOOKIES

UNUSUALLY, bookmakers were delighted with an England victory. ‘The majority of the corrrect score bets we took were for victories of 4-0 and upwards, so we are relieved that the goals petered out at two. Usually an England win equals bookie gloom, but we got off relatively lightly this time, particularly as a fair few punters fancied an upset win for Wales’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills make Jack Wilshere a 2/5 chance to start the next qualifier against Bulgaria.

WILLIAM HILL have opened a book on how many of those who started against Wales for England will also be in the starting line up for their next Euro qualifier against Switzerland, for which Rooney will be suspended. ‘You’d have to expect that Capello will look to make changes as the display against Wales was functional rather than inspired’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

YOUNG AT HEART OF TRANSFER RIDDLE?

ASTON VILLA winger Ashley Young has been linked with a number of clubs, but William Hill, who have opened a book on who he will be playing for on the first day of next season make Villa 6/4 favourites. ‘Villa will no doubt make strenuous efforts to keep hold of Young, and if they finish the season strongly there could be a chance that he will stay, but on current form one would expect him to think seriously about moving – there will be no shortage of interested observers watching his situation’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

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

Punters Pick England To Beat Bulgaria

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

Despite the woeful World Cup and the current injury crisis bookmakers William Hill have been astounded by the overwhelming support for England with nine in ten William Hill shop punters backing the Three Lions for victory tomorrow.

England are just 7/1 to win every Group game and 2/5 to win Group G. With qualification looking like an almost certainty, Hills have opened a book on what stage of Euro 2012 England will be eliminated. The team are 7/2 to get knocked out in the Group stages, 9-4 for a Quarter Final exit and the same price to get knocked out in the Semis

In the overall betting England are the 9/1 fourth favourite behind 7-2 favourites Spain.

“English fans are notoriously patriotic, but even we have been astounded by the level of support for Capello’s men who have not repaid the faith of late,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.
