Rooney 11/4 To Head Past Egypt

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

Rooney 11/4 to score header against Egypt:
WILL JOE GO TO WORLD CUP WITH ENGLAND?

WITH Joe Cole’s inclusion in the England World Cup squad apparently no longer a ‘given’, William Hill are offering 5/6 that the Chelsea player will make it, and 5/6 that he will not. ‘There was a time when it would have been difficult to imagine that a fit Joe Cole could be left out of the England squad, but doubts are now setting in and we can’t decide whether he is more likely to go or stay.’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
ENGLAND are 4/11 favourites with Hills to beat Egypt on Wednesday. The African champions are 7/1, with the draw an 11/4 chance.
WAYNE ROONEY is 11/4 with Hills to score with a header for England on Wednesday – he is 11/10 to fail to score; 11/8 to score one goal; 5/1 two; 12/1 three or more.
Hills offer 10/1 that there will be no goals scored during the game; 7/2 just one; 12/5 two; 14/5 three; 5/1 four; 9/1 five; 12/1 six or more.
Hills make England 11/8 to score in both halves; 21/20 to lead at both half and full time; 13/20 England to keep a clean sheet; 5/6 to win the game to nil.

***WITH 100 DAYS TO THE WORLD CUP KICK OFF, WILLIAM HILL ARE OFFERING 100/1 THAT ENGLAND WILL BEAT GERMANY IN THE WORLD CUP FINAL WITH WAYNE ROONEY SCORING THEIR LAST GOAL.

BOOKIES SHAKEN AS WAYNE SNUBS TERRY

BOOKMAKERS William Hill are paying out to punters who gambled on Wayne Bridge refusing to shake hands with John Terry after the odds about that happening were slashed from odds against to odds-on following a surge of bets.
‘We cut our odds once from 13/8 to 11/10 and then again to 5/6 as punters poured cash on the Bridge snub’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘It will cost us a five figure sum – so we’re shaken- but not stirred enough to rule out similar bets in the future as they create a huge talking point.’
HILLS OFFER 10/1 THAT BRIDGE WILL CHANGE HIS MIND AND MAKE HIMSELF AVAILABLE FOR 2010 WORLD CUP SELECTION.

GOODBYE, DARLING? YOU BET

WITH THE row over Alistair Darling’s ‘hell’ remarks still rumbling on, William Hill are offering odds of 9/4 that the Chancellor will retain a place in the cabinet/shadow cabinet following the first Labour re-shuffle after the forthcoming General Election. He is 1/3 not to be retained in the cabinet/shadow cabinet.
‘We think Alistair Darling is unlikely to be retained in either the cabinet or shadow cabinet following the Election despite recent public displays of friendship between him and Mr Brown’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Pompey Drop Payout

********POMPEY DROP PAY OUT*******

BOOKMAKERS William Hill are paying out on Portsmouth being relegated from the Premiership. ‘Pompey are poised to go into administration on Friday, and if they do so they will be a massive odds-on shot to be relegated; as it is, they are currently 1/20 for the drop, having opened the season at 7/1 to go down, and it seems like delaying the inevitable not to pay out now. Punters will benefit to the tune of a five figure payout, which they would almost certainly have received in any case a few weeks down the line’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

With injury doubts over Rio:
WHO WILL SKIPPER ENGLAND V USA?

WITH RIO FERDINAND’S season-long injury problems showing no signs of ending, William Hill have made him 1/6 favourite to start England’s opening World Cup game as skipper. ‘Given his persistent problems it is a brave punter who would risk backing Rio to start the first World Cup game as captain’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘And for all that he has strongly suggested Rio will be his pick, Fabio has yet to confirm it officially’

Hills…..Who Will Captain England v USA ?
Ferdinand 1/6, Gerrard 9/2, Rooney 12/1, Lampard 14/1, Beckham 25/1, Terry 20/1, Barry 33/1, James 50/1, A Cole 50/1.
