Will Carroll Be Singing Following Rooney’s Rush Of Blood?

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

Wayne Rooney’s red card against Montenegro means that he will miss the opening game of Euro 2012 and William Hill are offering 10/11 that Andy Carroll is the man to start up top in England’s opener. Danny Welbeck is 6/5 second favourite with Theo Walcott 5/4. Rooney’s rush of blood to the head is being portrayed as an isolated incident but Hills go 20/1 about him getting his marching orders against Liverpool on Saturday.

“Rooney’s rush of blood has opened the door for someone else to come in and impress for Capello’s men at Euro 2012 and the odds suggest that Andy Carroll will be the one to benefit,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Ireland are the shortest priced team to qualify for Euro 2012 via the playoffs after they were drawn against Estonia. Trapattoni’s men are 1/3 to reach Poland and Ukraine while Estonia are 9/4. Portugal failed to qualify automatically and face Bosnia. Hills offer 4/9 that they make it through the two legged tie.

Ireland’s first game is away and they are 13/10 to return from Estonia with a victory in the bag.

To Start England’s First Euro 2012 Match: 10/11 Andy Carroll; 6/5 Danny Welbeck; 5/4 Theo Walcott; 2/1 Jermaine Defoe; 5/2 Darren Bent; 7/2 Gabby Agbonlaor; 7/2 Daniel Sturridge; 7/2 Bobby Zamora; 4/1 Peter Crouch; 8/1 Connor Wickham; 11/1 Jay Bothroyd; 14/1 Michael Owen; 16/1 Cameron Jerome

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

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.

WITH speculation continuing that Wesley Sneijder will become a Manchester United player before the transfer window closes – Hills offer 6/4 about that happening –William Hill have opened a book on who will be the first United player to foul Sneijder during Wednesday’s England versus Holland game, making Rio Ferdinand 11/8 favourite to get the first friendly foul in on his potential team-mate. Hills are also betting on which United player will take part in the game for the greatest number of minutes, and again make Ferdinand favourite, this time at 11/10. ‘Half of the England starting outfield line-up could be United players, which will give Wesley Sneijder the opportunity to get a close-up look at his possible team-mates’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

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

England U21s need a win against the Czech Republic if they are to progress from their group and are 23/20 with William Hill to do so. They are 6/10 to fail to win and crash out of the tournament. Whatever happens, England need to score and Daniel Sturridge, one of only a few small bright spots in England’s team, is 11/2 to open the scoring in the match, while Danny Welbeck is 13/2.

“England have so far been underwhelming in the tournament and it may be down to Daniel Sturridge or Danny Welbeck to fire them into the semi finals,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “Although the odds suggest that England will be packing their bags after Sunday’s game.”

Stuart Pearce is offered at 3/1 with Hills to become the Team GB manager at next year’s Olympics.

Mick McCarty is 7/1 second favourite ahead of 9/1 Steve Bruce. “Blackburn only managed to survive on the last day of the season, having been mid table at Christmas and a vast improvement will be needed if Steve Kean does not want to be the first manager out of the door next term,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

At 66/1 Kenny Dalglish, Tony Pulis and whoever takes over the Chelsea role next, appear to be the three safest managers in the league at the minute, with Roy Hodgson, Martin Jol and Sir Alex Ferguson all offered at 40/1. For no manager to leave all season is offered at 100/1.
