28/1 Argentina, France, Portugal To Miss Out On World Cup

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

28/1 BIG THREE TO MISS OUT ON WORLD CUP FINALS

WITH ARGENTINA, FRANCE AND PORTUGAL all struggling to qualify for the World Cup Finals, William Hill have opened a book on each of them doing so – and make Argentina most likely at 1/5 (10/3 not to), with France 2/7 to get to South Africa, 5/2 not to; while Portugal are 5/6 to make it, 5/6 not to.’The World Cup will be a poorer tournament for the loss of any or all of these sides – and betting turnover will certainly be heavier if they all make it – but if they don’t produce the goods in qualification they clearly don’t deserve to be there’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills offer 15/8 that ALL of them will get through – and 28/1that NONE of them will do so.

GAMBLE ON DARLING TO DO DIRTY ON BROWN

WITH RUMOURS that plotters in the Labour Party are planning an effort to remove Gordon Brown as Leader, William Hill have slashed their odds about Alastair Darling succeeding him from 66/1 to 33/1. ‘Political punters seem to believe that another effort to unseat Gordon Brown is on the verge of being launched and we have seen considerable betting interest in Alastair Darling taking over’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
And Hills have also cut their odds about Gordon Brown being forced out or resigning before the next general Election from 6/4 to 5/4, but make him 4/7 still to be Leader when the Election takes place.
Alan Johnson is 6/4 favourite to succeed Brown with Hills who also offer: 7/1 Harriet Harman; 7/1 David Miliband; 8/1 Peter Mandelson; 10/1 Ed Miliband; 12/1 Jon Cruddas; James Purnell; 16/1 Ed Balls; Andy Burnham; Jack Straw; 33/1 Alastair Darling.

£1 BILLION TO BE GAMBLED AS ENGLAND GO TO WORLD CUP FINALS

ENGLAND are 5/2 to win all of their World Cup qualifying matches with William Hill who make them 8/1 to win the tournament – and 5/4 to go to the Finals WITHOUT David Beckham.
‘With England making it to the Finals with two games to spare we’re already predicting that a record BILLION pounds-plus will be gambled on the tournament – and fearing a mega millions payout if England go all the way and win the tournament’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘Mind you, we’ll have had 44 years to save up the money we’ll have to pay out!’
Hills have opened a book on how far England will get in the World Cup and offer 4/1 that they go out in the Final’s Group Stage; 11/4 they lose in the Round of 16; 11/4 in the Quarter Finals; 13/2 they finish runners up.
Wayne Rooney is 15/8 favourite to be England’s top sorer in the World Cup Finals with William Hill who also offer 7/2 Defoe; 4/1 Lampard; 5/1 Owen; 6/1 Gerrard; 13/2 Heskey; 20/1 Beckham; 33/1 Terry.
DAVID BECKHAM is 7/2 to beat Peter Shilton’s all time record number of caps with William Hill who make him 4/7 to make the World Cup finals squad, 5/4 not to. ‘Capello seems to be happy to keep Beckham around the place at the moment’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
WILLIAM HILL have opened a book on which club David Beckham will next sign for, on loan or permanently, and make AC Milan the 5/2 favourites, with Notts County 50/1 outsiders. ‘Chelsea may well have been favourites but for their current transfer ban, and if they win their appeal we wouldn’t be that surprised to see Beckham ending up there’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

**Beckham’s Next Club, Loan Signing or Permanent. Others on Request.
AC Milan 5/2
Tottenham 4/1
Man City 9/2
Arsenal 6/1
Chelsea 6/1

Dav id Beckham is out from 3/1 to 7/2 with Hills to break Peter Shilton’s record total of caps ‘Beckham not getting a cap against Slovenia was a minor surprise and he must be hoping that it isn’t the end of the road’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘We still make him an odds-on chance to make the England squad for the World Cup finals.’
