England looked comfortable in victory against Bulgaria and William Hill think that Fabio Capello will keep faith in most of his starting XI – offering 5/4 that the same XI is used and Even money that 10 retain their places. Hills bet 7/2 that England score four and 4/1 they score five or more in the match against Wales at Wembley on Tuesday. They are 9/4 to match the three that they scored against Bulgaria and 7/1 to score no goals.

“The England starting XI against Bulgaria looked comfortable and settled and there are many that think that too much tinkering by Capello could result in disrupting the harmony that was clearly in evidence on Friday,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Rooney’s brace against Bulgaria took him up to three goals in qualifying and level with Jermaine Defore. Rooney is now 4/5 favourite to end the qualifying campaign as England’s leading scorer, while Defoe is 11/4. Darren Bent is 4/1. Rooney is 12/1 to get a hat-trick in the game against Wales on Tuesday.

Hills offer 4/6 that England win the next two Euro 2012 qualifying games.

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

Arsenal are having a torrid time of things at the moment with players wanting out, injuries and suspensions. Hills predict that they will struggle to take many points from the next two games (against Liverpool and Manchester United) offering 7/2 they get none and 9/4 just one. Arsenal will need to strengthen if they are to challenge for any honours this year and Hills offer 13/8 that Wenger makes four or more signings before the end of the transfer window. Samir Nasri is 1/12 to leave Arsenal by the end of the transfer window and 6/1 to remain at the Emirates. Arsenal are 1/6 to finish another season with no silverware.

“Arsene is already under pressure and the odds suggest that Arsenal could feasibly have just one point after their first three games,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Wesley Sneijder looks as though his move to Manchester United may be drawing ever closer with Hills making him 8/11 to now make the move from Italy. He is Evens to stay with Inter. Luka Modric has been the subject of a new bid from Chelsea and he is 8/13 to make the Blues his next club.

Facebook is to screen its first ever football match live, an extra-preliminary FA Cup qualifier between Ascot United vs Wembley FC. William Hill make the hosts the 11/10 favourites to win the match, while Wembley are 7/4 for victory. The draw is 5/2.

Arsenal points in next two games: 8/1 six; 7/2 four; 2/1 three; 9/4 one; 7/2 none

Number of Arsenal signings before the end of the transfer window: 7/4 0-1; 6/4 2 or three; 13/8 four or more
*must be a professional senior contract

Arsenal Trophies: 1/6 None

Luka Modric next permanent club: 8/13 Chelsea; 5/2 Manchester United; 9/1 Arsenal; 10/1 Manchester City; 20/1 Barcelona; 20/1 Real Madrid

England 7/4 To Win Group G With Games To Spare

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

Bookmakers William Hill are offering a number of specials about how England will fare in their Euro 2012 group. Hills offer 4/1 that England get maximum points from their remaining fixtures and 5/4 that they fall just short with 19-21 points. They are 7/4 to score between 19 and 21 goals and 9/2 to score 22 or more goals. Hills think that Group G is going to be incredibly tight and offer 7/4 that England win the group with games to spare, but 2/5 that they do not.

Jermaine Defoe is currently England’s leading scorer in Euro 2012 qualifiers with three and Hills go 5/4 that he ends the campaign as top marksman. Darren Bent is 6/4 second favourite, while Lampard and Rooney are 6/1 and 7/1 respectively.

“”England are top of their group and while they are expected to qualify, the odds suggest that it will be closer than many would expect,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

England are 2/5 to win the match at Wembley with Switzerland 6/1. The draw is priced at 14/5. Hills also offer 3/1 that any England substitute scores a goal. Darren Bent is the 10/3 favourite to open the scoring on Saturday, with Peter Crouch 9/2, joint second favourite with Bobby Zamora.

England are 8/1 to win Euro 2012 and 12/1 to win the competition without losing a game either in qualifying or the finals themselves.

With Wayne Rooney banned for the England match against Switzerland, William Hill are betting on which of the three forwards in the squad will start the game. Darren Bent is 1/7 while Peter Crouch is 1/4. Bobby Zamora is 11/4. The central midfield is another position that is up for grabs during the match and Hills make Scott Parker, Frank Lampard and Jack Wilshere all odds on to start, with Capello thought to be considering three men across the middle. Parker is 4/9, while Lampard is 1/10 and Jack Wilshere 4/11.

To Start vs Switzerland:
Peter Crouch 1/4 Yes; 11/4 No
Darren Bent 1/7 Yes; 4/1 No

Odds Hint At 4-3-3 For England This Weekend…will Sam Be The Man For West Ham?

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

With Wayne Rooney banned for the England match against Switzerland, William Hill are betting on which of the three forwards in the squad will start the game. Darren Bent is 1/7 while Peter Crouch is 1/4. Bobby Zamora is 11/4. The central midfield is another position that is up for grabs during the match and Hills make Scott Parker, Frank Lampard and Jack Wilshere all odds on to start, with Capello thought to be considering three men across the middle. Parker is 4/9, while Lampard is 1/10 and Jack Wilshere 4/11.

“Parker and Wilshere impressed against Wales and it looks as they will be rewarded by starting on Saturday. Lampard also looks like he will start alongside the pair as Capello seeks to use the 4-3-3 that has proved effective in recent matches,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

England are 2/5 to win the match at Wembley with Switzerland 6/1. The draw is priced at 14/5. Hills also offer 3/1 that any England substitute scores a goal. Darren Bent is the 10/3 favourite to open the scoring on Saturday, with Peter Crouch 9/2, joint second favourite with Bobby Zamora.

England are 8/1 to win Euro 2012 and 12/1 to win the competition without losing a game either in qualifying or the finals themselves.

To Start vs Switzerland:
Peter Crouch 1/4 Yes; 11/4 No
Darren Bent 1/7 Yes; 4/1 No
Bobby Zamora 11/4 Yes; 1/4 No
Scott Parker 4/9 Yes; 13/8 No
Frank Lampard 1/10 Yes; 11/2 No
Jack Wilshere 4/11 Yes; 2/1 No

Euro 2012 Outright: 3/1 Spain; 4/1 Germany; 6/1 Holland; 8/1 England; 10/1 Italy; 10/1 France; 16/1 Portugal; 20/1 Russia; 25/1 Croatia; 33/1 Ukraine; 40/1 Poland; 50/1 BAR

William Hill are offering a number of West Ham specials, following the announcement that Sam Allardyce has taken over the reins at West Ham. He has been a relative success at almost every club that he has been at and Hills offer 10/11 that West Ham get promoted into the Premier League at any point during Allardyce’s time at the club. They are 16/1 to win either the FA or League Cup under Big Sam and 20/1 to qualify for Europe. Despite the arrival of a big name manager, it would appear that a big name player may be leaving the club. Hills offer 1/20 that Scott Parker has left the club before the first game of next season.

West Ham Odds:

Will West Ham win a cup (FA or League) under Allardyce: 16/1
Will they qualify for Europe Under Allardyce: 20/1
Will they be relegated (from Championship) under Allardyce: 16/1
Will they be promoted under Allardyce: 10/11
Scott Parker to still be at West Ham after summer transfer window: 1/20 No; 8/1 Yes

Champions League Final: You Bet History Can Repeat Itself

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

William Hill think that history may well repeat itself and offer odds on all previous Manchester United European Final victories. In 1968, Manchester United won the European Cup Final at Wembley by four goals to one and Hills offer 100/1 that United defeat Barca by the same score this weekend. In 1999, they came back from 1-0 down to triumph and Hills offer 14/1 that United come from behind and win within 90 minutes. 2008 saw United beat Chelsea on penalties and for the same to happen on Saturday is 11/1.

United also lost a Champions League Final in 2009 2-0 to Barcelona and Hills offer 8/1 for a repeat of that score line.

“In such a hotly contested match between two European heavyweights there is a strong feeling that we may see history repeating itself in one way or another,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

MANCHESTER UNITED are the longest odds they have been all season to win a game in 90minutes play as they prepare to take on Barcelona in the Champions League, with Hills offering them at 3/1 to clinch victory without having to worry about extra time or a penalty shot-out. Barca are 21/20 for a 90min win with the draw 21/10.

**ONE WILLIAM HILL ONLINE CLIENT FROM BOLTON HAS STAKED FIVE BETS, TOTALLING £80,000 ON BARCA LIFTING THE TROPHY AT ODDS OF 1/2 and Hills expect that industry wide, the Champions League Final will generate around £10 million turnover.

Champions League Final Odds:

Outright (90 minutes): 21/20 Barcelona; 3/1 Manchester United; 21/10 Draw

To Lift The Trophy: 1/2 Barcelona; 13/8 Manchester United

To go to penalties: 5/1

MVP (Messi, Villa & Pedro all to score): 25/1
