You Bet Vuvuzela More Likely To Be Banned At Home Than At World Cup!

YOU BET VUVUZELA MORE LIKELY TO BE BANNED AT HOME THAN AT WORLD CUP!
BOOKMAKERS William Hill are offering odds of 7/4 that the Vuvuzela is officially banned from all Premier League grounds by the first day of next season. Hills are already offering 16/1 that the noisy objects will be banned from the World Cup before the end of the tournament, but now punters have begun betting that Premier League clubs will want to keep it out of their stadia.
‘The vuvuzela certainly polarises opinion and we suspect that individual clubs will want to put a rule in pace to enable them to ban them should they threaten to become widespread’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’We’ve already cut the odds on a ban from 3/1 to 7/4
Hills also offer 2/5 that spectators will be free to bring them into one or more Premier League grounds when the season begins.

Green Blunder Costliest Ever As Punters ‘ Robbed ‘ Of £10m +

Was this costliest soccer howler ever?
GREEN’S BLUNDER ROBS PUNTERS OF £10MILLION+

BOOKMAKERS William Hill say Rob Green’s disastrous error was the costliest mistake ever for Britain’s punters: ‘The difference between Green making the save, and letting the ball in made a difference of over £10million to how much bookies had to pay out to punters who backed England to win the game – in eight World Cups I can never remember a costlier blunder for backers – and that includes the Maradona hand of God goal – which only stopped England drawing, rather than winning’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. ‘Several punters had bet £10,000 on England to win and hundreds of thousands of supporters had more modest bets on the outcome of the game and the correct score.’

ROB GREEN IS EVEN MONEY FAVOURITE WITH WILLIAM HILL TO START THE GAME V ALGERIA, WITH DAVID JAMES AND JOE HART EACH OFFERED AT 9/4.

ENGLAND ARE 8/1 TO WIN THE WORLD CUP WITH WILLIAM HILL.

MARTIN JOHNSON, ENGLAND RUGBY UNION BOSS, IS 4/6 FAVOURITE TO LEAVE HIS JOB BEFORE FABIO CAPELLO DOES LIKEWISE – HILLS OFFER 11/10 VICED VERSA. ‘BOTH ENGLAND BOSSES ARE UNDER PRESSURE BUT JOHNSON CURRENTLY LOOKS MORE VULNERABLE’ SAID HILL’S SPOKESMAN GRAHAM SHARPE.

WILLIAM HILL OFFER 50/1 THAT THE VUVUZUELA WILL BE OFFICIALLY BANNED FROM STADIUMS BEFORE THE END OF THE WORLD CUP.

50/1 Vuvuzelas To Be Banned

50/1 A VUVUZELA BAN ?

WITH INCREASING criticism of the omnipresent vuvuzela noise during World Cup games, William Hill are offering 50/1 that they will be officially banned at some stage before the World Cup Final is played.
‘It appears to be people who don’t normally attend or watch football matches live and would rather sit and watch games in silence who are objecting to the vuvuzela, but we don’t think a ban is at all likely’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘Besides which the noise helps drown out some of the commentators, whose own incomprehensible vocal babble is often far more offensive than any vuvuzela!’

Rob Benefits From Green Blunder!

June 17, 2010 Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments 163, Bank Balance, Bet, Blunder, Culmination, England, Fingers, Glasgow, Joe Crilly, Namesake, Rangers Fan, Saturday Evening, Saturday Night, Scotland, South Africa, Sp-fb, Spokesman, William Hill

A middle aged Rangers fan was smiling ear to ear following Rob Greens blunder on Saturday night and not just because he was Scottish. Whilst Rob Green was left red faced on Saturday evening, his namesake Rob, from Glasgow, was given a £15,000 boost to his bank balance! Englands draw against the States was the culmination of a £130 bet, placed at a William Hill betting office in Glasgow that also included South Africa to draw 1-1 and France to draw 0-0.

Rob, like the rest of Scotland, probably had his fingers crossed for an England win, and we can only hope that this win consoles him somewhat, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.
