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

Tottenham are the 5/4 favourites to be the British side to progress furthest in this year’s Europa League. Stoke have been impressive in this year’s competition and Hills make them 9/4 second favourites while Fulham are 11/4.

Two British sides (Birmingham and Celtic) are odds on (at 4/11 and 1/8) to fail to make it out of the Group Stage. Spurs appear most likely to be knocked out of the competition at the round of 16 (11/4) along with Stoke (14/5), while Fulham are 11/8 to go out at the round of 32 stage.

Rooney vs. Aguero

Wayne Rooney and Sergio Aguero both got on the Champions League scoresheet ahead of the Manchester derby on Sunday and William Hill make the England striker the 2/1 slight favourite to outscore his Argentinean compatriot. United are 10/11 favourites to win the match at Old Trafford with City 5/2 and the draw 23/10.

“It is likely to be a close match on Sunday and neither team will be wanting to lose their unbeaten record, let alone to their bitterest rivals and it may well take a moment of magic from the two sides’ leading scorers,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

England Odds Shunted Out As Rooney Red Rocks Euro Hopes

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

On the back of the news that Wayne Rooney has received a three match ban from UEFA, William Hill have shunted England’s odds of winning Euro 2012 out by two points from 9/1 to 11/1. He is 14/1 to receive a red card at the tournament.

“The increase in odds reflects the fact that Rooney has to be considered the only real world class striker in Capello’s armoury,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Wayne Rooney has been pushed out from 9/2 second favourite to 11/2 fourth favourite to be top scorer for England at the tournament behind Darren Bent (7/2), Andy Carroll (9/2) and Steven Gerrard (5/1).

England are 4/7 to qualify from their group but 5/4 to fail to make it to the quarter finals. Rooney is 2/1 to fail to start an England Euro 2012 game (4/11 to start at least one match).

William Hill Wayne Rooney Odds:

To start a Euro 2012 match: 4/11 yes; 2/1 no

England to qualify from the group: 4/7 yes; 5/4 no

England Top Scorer: 7/2 Darren Bent; 9/2 Andy Carroll; 5/1 Steven Gerrard; 11/2 Wayne Rooney; 7/1 Theo Walcott; 7/1 Ashley Young; 7/1 Danny Welbeck; 7/1 Jermaine Defoe

Euro 2012 Winner: 11/4 Spain; 7/2 Germany; 5/1 Holland; 10/1 Italy; 11/1 England; 11/1 France; 16/1 Russia; 22/1 BAR

Will Rooney’s ban be reduced on appeal: 5/6 yes; 5/6 no

14/1 Wayne Rooney to be sent off during Euro 2012

Capello 11/4 To Leave Rooney Out Of Squad

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

WILL CAPELLO LEAVE ROONEY OUT OF SQUAD?

WILLIAM HILL quote odds of 11/4 that Fabio Capello will leave Wayne Rooney out of the Euro 2012 finals’ squad – and 1/ 4 that he will select him. Hills also offer 14/1 that he will be sent off during the Euro finals if he goes. ‘It seems ludicrous even to think Capello might leave Rooney out of the squad, but there is a chance that his ban could be icreased on appeal and Capello may have finally lost patience with him’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Goldenballs Beck To England But Tevez Could Be Off…

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

David Beckham’s contract with LA Galaxy is due to run out in November and William Hill think that his next contract will be in England offering 8/13 that he returns to these shores. With reported interest from PSG, Hills make France the 4/1 second favourite while he is 5/1 to stay in the US. Recent reports have suggested that Manchester United may be lining Becks up for a Sporting Director’s role and Hills make him 12/1 to fill that role before the end of 2012.

“Becks has never hidden the fact that he would love to return to Manchester United and while he may not be able to bend it as much as he used to, there may well be a seat with his name on in the upper echelons of Old Trafford,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

With Carlos Tevez coming back off his suspension, William Hill do not hold out much hope of him staying put for too long and Hills are offering odds on who he will join next. He is 11/4 to move to Juventus and 4/1 to join Corinthians.

William Hill think that Wayne Rooney will only miss one match of the European Championships following his red card against Montenegro. He is offered at 2/5 for his ban to be set at one game, while he is 7/4 to be the recipient of at least a two game suspension.

Where will Beckham’s next contract be: 8/13 England; 4/1 France; 5/1 USA; 7/1 Italy; 16/1 UAE; 20/1 Scotland; 25/1 Brazil; 25/1 Qatar; 50/1 (*includes any coaching role **Bets void if no contract signed by the end of 2013)

Beckham to be officially appointed Manchester United’s Sporting Director before the end of 2012: 12/1

Carlos Tevez next club: 11/4 Juventus; 4/1 Corinthians; 6/1 AC Milan; 6/1 Inter Milan; 7/1 Real Madrid; 8/1 PSG; 10/1 Boca Juniors; 12/1 Napoli; 16/1 Chelsea; 16/1 West Ham; 20/1 Arsenal; 20/1 Barcelona

Wayne Rooney Ban Length: 2/5 one match; 7/4 two or more matches (pertains to red card vs Montenegro)

Nottingham Forest next manager: 8/11 Steve Cotterill; 5/2 Mark Robins; 4/1 Kevin MacDonald; 9/2 Roy Keane; 8/1 John Pemberton; 10/1 Nigel Clough; 20/1 BAR

Republic of Ireland to qualify for Euro 2012: 5/6 yes; 5/6 no

Rooney Backed For Two Match Ban As Robins 5th Runner To Be Forest Favourite

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

ROONEY BACKED TO GET TWO MATCH+ EURO BAN

WILLIAM HILL have cut their odds for Wayne Rooney to be banned for two games or more following his sending off against Montenegro from 11/4 to 7/4. ‘We haven’t taken any particularly hefty individual bets but the overwhelming majority of those we have taken are for an extended suspension’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills now offer 2/5 that he will be banned for just the one game.

FIFTH FOREST FAVOURITE

MARK ROBINS is the fifth contender to become favourite to succeed Steve McClaren as Forest manager with William Hil who make the former Barnsley boss 2/1 to take over, ahead of 9/4 second favourite Steve Cotterill; 5/2 Roy Keane; 7/2 Nigel Clough; 11/2 Kevin MacDonald; 9/1 John Pemberton.
‘As seems to be par for the course with so many such markets, the Forest managerial merry-go-round has been a volatile one and you wouldn’t be over surprised if there were another five favourites before the issue is finally resolved’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

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

11/4 ROONEY TO GET INCREASED EURO BAN

WILLIAM HILL offer 11/4 that Wayne Rooney’s one match Euro 2012 finals’ suspension will be increased, and 1/ 4 that it will remain as it is. ‘Rooney’s hopes of keeping the ban at one match appear to be boosted by the referee’s comments that he accepted his sending off without protest, and it is in England’s best interests that that is the case’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
With the possibility of an increased ban Hills have lengthened their odds for Rooney to go straight back into the starting line up for the next game for which he is eligible from 2/ 5 to 1/ 2, and have shortened the odds that he will not, from 7/4 to 6/4. ‘The more games he misses the less likely he is to come straight back in, particularly if the side does well in his absence’ said Sharpe.

**WAYNE ROONEY has been lengthened from 7/2 favourite to 9/2 second favourite to be Englan’s top scorer at the Euro 2012 Finals after his sending off means he will miss at least one game.

Michael’s G-owen To Have To Do More To Feature For Fergie As United Set To Top A Ton

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

Michael Owen made a goalscoring return to Manchester United’s first team, but despite this, William Hill do not think that his performance against Leeds will force him back into Sir Alex Ferguson’s Premier League reckoning. He is odds on at 10/11 to start between 0 and one game. He is 8/1 to start six or more games. Owen bagged a brace against Leeds and Hills offer 5/6 that he scores more than seven goals for United this season in all competitions. He is 10/1 to make any appearance for England before the end of Euro 2012 and 16/1 to make Fabio Capello’s Euro 2012 squad.

“Michael Owen will have been delighted to have impressed on his first start for United since January, but the odds suggest that he will need to produce more of the same if he is to elbow his way into Fergie’s Premier League plans,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

United have been in great goalscoring form this season and Hills go 11/2 about the Red Devils scoring 100 or more goals in the Premier League this season.
