YOU BET ENGLAND SHOULD WEAR POPPIES ON THEIR SHIRTS

BOOKMAKERS William Hill have opened a book on whether England’s players will wear poppies on their shirts when they take on Spain at the weekend – and the bookies have pledged to donate all of their winnings from the market to the Royal British Legion’s Poppy Appeal.
‘We think it is unlikely that the FA will be permitted to wear the poppy shirts, but doubt whether they would do it regardless and risk the wrath of the governing body. However, we are very much in favour of poppies on the shirts, and will guarantee a minimum four figure donation to the Poppy Appeal, win or lose’ said William Hill spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WILLIAM HILL..Will England wear shirts featuring a Poppy when they play Spain this weekend?….1/2 NO….6/4 YES

Will Their Hearts Be In It? Former Jambos Bosses Favourites For Hibs Job

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

Jim Jeffries has emerged as William Hill’s 5/2 favourite to become the next Hibs boss. The former Hearts boss is joined in the top three in the betting by another former Hearts manager Billy Brown at 4/1 and Shamrock Rovers manager Michael O’Neill at 3/1.

“There are a number of likely candidates for the position but it is strange to see two former Hearts bosses so high in the betting,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “It seems that in the fickle world of football, these managers would have no qualms in crossing the great divide.”

Other contenders include Mark McGhee at 6/1 and Gordon Strachan, Jimmy Calderwood and Gus McPherson – all at 8/1.

Next Hibernian Boss: 5/2 Jim Jeffries; 3/1 Michael O’Neill; 4/1 Billy Brown; 6/1 Mark McGhee; 8/1 Gordon Strachan; 8/1 Jimmy Calderwood; 8/1 Gus McPherson; 10/1 Gary Bollan; 10/1 Billy Stark; 10/1 John Robertson; 10/1 Danny Lennon; 12/1 Billy Reid; 12/1 Jackie McNamara; 14/1 Billy Davies; 16/1 Terry Butcher; 16/1 John Collins; 16/1 Allan Moore; 16/1 John Hughes; 20/1 Paul Cook

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

TERRY TIME?

WITH John Terry now looking likely to start for England against Spain, William Hill offer 2/1 that he will be carded at some stage of the game, and 1/6 that if he does start, he will also finish the game – 7/2 that he will come off before the end.
Terry is 7/1 with Hills to score at any time, 20/1 to get the first goal of the game, 33/1 to be sent off.
William Hill believe Terry will be firmly in charge of the armband when the Euro finals kick off, and make the Chelsea skipper 4/7 to start as captain in England’s opening game of the tournament.

ROONEY BAN

WILLIAM HILL offer 4/6 that Wayne Rooney’s three game Euro ban will not be reduced on appeal by the FA, and 11/10 that it will be reduced. ‘We understand that there is virtually no chance of the ban being extended so it is now a two-option outcome’ said ill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WILSH JACK STAY WITH GUNNERS ‘FOR EVER’?

Jack Wilshere has reportedly vowed to stay with Arsenal for the rest of his career. William Hill offer 4/9 that he IS still a Gunner on Jan 1, 2014; 13/8 that he is not; and 8/11 that he remains an Arsenal player in five years time on January 1, 2016 – Evens that he is elsewhere by then. ‘Who knows when Arsene Wenger might leave, and Jack could well change his mind when that happens’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Lucky Punters Quids In After Weekend Football Feast

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

Two William Hill punters were over the moon as they both scooped a small fortune on the football this weekend. The two winners from Sidcup and Watford netted £28,333.76 between them from just £13.75.

The Sidcup punter, who regularly bets on the football at the weekend, placed a £10, 12 team accumulator on Saturday morning and was waiting on four results on Sunday to bag him £17,368.63. Leeds, Brighton, Tottenham and Reading duly won to add to wins from Cardiff, Rangers and Manchester United amongst others.

The Watford based punter placed a 25p Lucky 15 (a four selection bet consisting of four singles, six doubles, four trebles and one fourfold) which returned £10,965.13. Rather than selecting sides to win, lose or draw, the gutsy punter predicted four correct scores. The selections were Aston Villa to defeat Norwich 3-2 at 25/1, Arsenal to win against West Brom 3-0, Newcastle recording a 2-1 victory over Everton at 15/2 and a 3-1 win for Spurs over Fulham at 16/1.

“It is incredibly difficult to predict the outcome of a match, let alone the correct score and so to do so four times on one bet is almost unprecedented,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “We have to take our hats off to this punter, who has increased his initial outlay by almost 3000 times.”

Sidcup Bet – £10 stake won £17,368.63 Watford Bet – £3.75
Odds – 1736/1 Odds – 2923/1
Cardiff (1/1) Aston Villa 3-2 Norwich (25/1)
Rangers (2/9) Arsenal 3 – 0 West Brom (15/2)
Leeds (23/10) Newcastle 2 – 1 Everton (15/2)
Southampton (5/6) Fulham 1 – 3 Tottenham (16/1)

9/2 ROONEY EURO BAN TO BE INCREASED

William Hill have opened a book on whether the FA appeal against Wayne Rooney’s three match Euro ban will result in a increased ban, a decreased ban, or no change. ‘This may be a calculated gamble on behalf of the FA but it is not impossible it could backfire’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WILLIAM HILL- RESULT OF FA APPEAL AGAINST ROONEY EURO BAN…

‘That makes it tough to price him up in the sack race – although it is not out of the question that his own pride would cause him to walk away if things did not continue. We reckon he is 6/4 to survive in the job until the start of next season, but 1/ 2 that he will have left by then’.
