16/5 ALL FOUR SEEDS TO MAKE WORLD CUP FINALS

WILLIAM HILL are offering 16/5 that all four seeded countries involved in the play offs – Greece, France, Russia and Portugal – will make it through to the Finals, and 125/1 that none of them will do so.
HILLS….Play offs- to qualify….. 4/6 Ukraine v 11/10 Greece; 2/9 Portugal v 7/2 Bosnia; 1/4 Russia v 11/4 Slovenia; 2/7 France v 5/2 Rep Ire
20/1 ENGLAND – BRAZIL IS WORLD CUP FINAL DRESS REHEARSAL!

WILLIAM HILL are offering 20/1 that England and Brazil, who play a weekend friendly, will meet again in the World Cup Final – and 3/1 that the two take each other on at any stage of the tournament. ‘England go into this match on good terms with themselves and as one of the countries qualifying in style for the final stages, so speculation about an England- Brazil Final may not be regarded as entirely unhinged!’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
However, Hills still make Brazil 23/20 favourites to win the game, with England 2/1 and the draw 21/10. Brazil are Evens with Hills to go further than England in the World Cup, with Capello’s side 11/8 to do vice versa, and 4/1that both will be eliminated at the same stage. (3rd place play off to count if relevant).
TO WIN WORLD CUP: 9/2 Brazil and Spain; 6/1 England; 7/1 Argentina; 12/1 Germany; 14/1 Holland; Italy; 16/1 Portugal; 20/1 France; 25/1 Russia; 33/1 Ivory Coast.

IS BECKS NO-HOPES TO BEAT SHILTS?

DAVID BECKHAM’s absence from the squad for the Brazil game is a blow to his chances of ovrtaking Peter Shilton’s record number of caps, and William Hill have pushed him out from 3/1 to 5/1 as a consequence. ‘He now has virtually no chance of catching Shilton during the World Cup, and his best hope may be to get so close that the FA take pity on him and organise a series of friendlies to take him past Shilts. Failing that, if he does play well during the World Cup, Capello may keep him involved for the Euro qualification campaign – always assuming that the boss is still there after the World Cup’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

HODGSON ODDS ON TO BOSS OLYMPIC FOOTBALL TEAM

WILLIAM HILL have installed Fulham boss Roy Hodgson as 8/15 favourite to manage the GB team for the 2012 Olympics. ‘Few could argue that Hodgson has done a tremendous job at Fulham, but there are a few other contenders with strong claims, too, and despite cliams that Hodgson will be offered the role it may be far from a fait accompli as yet’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

ROONEY AND GERRARD ODDS ON TO MAKE MIRACLE RECOVERIES

WILLIAM HILL have opened a book on whether either Steven Gerrard and/or Wayne Rooney will play any part in their clubs’ Premiership matches at the weekend. Hills offer 8/1 that NEITHER will play any part; 5/4 that either ONE of them will play some part, and 8/11 that BOTH will play some part in the matches at home to Bolton (Man U) and away to Sunderland (Liverpool).
‘Both Rooney and Gerrard seem to be quick healers and we think there is every chance that both will be in action at the weekend’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

NOTT PLATT?

THE LARGEST bet William Hill have taken so far on the identity of the next Notts County manager is for David Platt, on whom one punter has risked £100 and who is currently 4/1 second favourite. ‘There are reports that such and such a candidate has ruled himself in or out and so and so is not being considered, but experience has told us that in these markets money is better informed than rumours’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills now make Roberto Mancini 7/2 favourite to get the job and also offer 4/1 Platt; Peter Taylor; 7 Coppell; 9 Dowie; 10 Curbishley; 16 Sven; Keegan; O’Leary; 20 Strachan.

ENGLAND are 5/2 to win all of their World Cup qualifying matches with William Hill who make them 8/1 to win the tournament – and 5/4 to go to the Finals WITHOUT David Beckham.
‘With England making it to the Finals with two games to spare we’re already predicting that a record BILLION pounds-plus will be gambled on the tournament – and fearing a mega millions payout if England go all the way and win the tournament’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘Mind you, we’ll have had 44 years to save up the money we’ll have to pay out!’
Hills have opened a book on how far England will get in the World Cup and offer 4/1 that they go out in the Final’s Group Stage; 11/4 they lose in the Round of 16; 11/4 in the Quarter Finals; 13/2 they finish runners up.

DAVID BECKHAM is 7/2 to beat Peter Shilton’s all time record number of caps with William Hill who make him 4/7 to make the World Cup finals squad, 5/4 not to. ‘Capello seems to be happy to keep Beckham around the place at the moment’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
WILLIAM HILL have opened a book on which club David Beckham will next sign for, on loan or permanently, and make AC Milan the 5/2 favourites, with Notts County 50/1 outsiders. ‘Chelsea may well have been favourites but for their current transfer ban, and if they win their appeal we wouldn’t be that surprised to see Beckham ending up there’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
