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

David Beckham helped the LA Galaxy to the MLS play-offs but William Hill think that he will leave when his contract runs out at the end of November. He is 2/7 to not sign a new contract at Los Angeles and Hills think that he could be on his way to PSG, with the French giants offered at 4/7 to be Beckham’s next club.

Beckham has stipulated that he needs to move somewhere where he will be playing first team football in order to get into the GB national squad for London 2012. He is 4/7 to be in the squad and 7/4 to captain the team. He is 7/2 to score at the Olympics and 33/1 to manage the team.

“Becks is a very patriotic guy and would surely jump at the chance to play for the GB team at the Olympics and because of this, he will have to pick his next club very carefully as he needs to be playing first team football,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Pompey Return For Fa Cup Winners?

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

Portsmouth are manager-less following Steve Cotterill’s departure to Forest and William Hill make current Pompey first team coach, Stuart Gray, the 7/2 favourite to take the top job. Academy manager, Andy Awford is 5/1 with players from the ‘golden generation’, Sol Campbell and David James offered at 12/1 and 16/1 respectively.

“With Portsmouth still struggling financially, the appointment may well come from within the club rather than bringing in an outsider, although players such as Campbell and James hold the club dear to their hearts following their FA Cup win and may well be tempted to take their first steps into football management at Fratton Park,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Cotterill has taken the helm at the City Ground and Hills make Forest 100/1 to win the league under the popular former Portsmouth man and 20/1 offered for promotion. Relegation may well be more likely at 11/2.

Next Portsmouth manager: 7/2 Stuart Gray; 5/1 Andy Awford; 6/1 Paul Hart; 7/1 Guy Whittingham; 8/1 Kevin MacDonald; 8/1 Mark Robins; 12/1 Sol Campbell; 14/1 Joe Jordan; 16/1 Kit Symons; 16/1 David James; 50/1 Paul Merson

England Odds Shunted Out As Rooney Red Rocks Euro Hopes

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

On the back of the news that Wayne Rooney has received a three match ban from UEFA, William Hill have shunted England’s odds of winning Euro 2012 out by two points from 9/1 to 11/1. He is 14/1 to receive a red card at the tournament.

“The increase in odds reflects the fact that Rooney has to be considered the only real world class striker in Capello’s armoury,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Wayne Rooney has been pushed out from 9/2 second favourite to 11/2 fourth favourite to be top scorer for England at the tournament behind Darren Bent (7/2), Andy Carroll (9/2) and Steven Gerrard (5/1).

England are 4/7 to qualify from their group but 5/4 to fail to make it to the quarter finals. Rooney is 2/1 to fail to start an England Euro 2012 game (4/11 to start at least one match).

William Hill Wayne Rooney Odds:

To start a Euro 2012 match: 4/11 yes; 2/1 no

England to qualify from the group: 4/7 yes; 5/4 no

England Top Scorer: 7/2 Darren Bent; 9/2 Andy Carroll; 5/1 Steven Gerrard; 11/2 Wayne Rooney; 7/1 Theo Walcott; 7/1 Ashley Young; 7/1 Danny Welbeck; 7/1 Jermaine Defoe

Euro 2012 Winner: 11/4 Spain; 7/2 Germany; 5/1 Holland; 10/1 Italy; 11/1 England; 11/1 France; 16/1 Russia; 22/1 BAR

Will Rooney’s ban be reduced on appeal: 5/6 yes; 5/6 no

14/1 Wayne Rooney to be sent off during Euro 2012

Ash To Cash In As Contract Runs Down ?

ASH TO CASH IN AS CONTRACT RUNS OUT?

WITH Ashley Cole rumoured to be the subject of potential big money bids from Barcelona and mega-rich Russian club, Anzhi Makhachkala, William Hill have opened a book on where he will be playing on the first day of the next Premier League season and make him odds-on still to be at Chelsea. ‘We are all aware that Ashley Cole takes into account the amount of financial reward on offer before deciding who to play for, particularly with his contract now running down, so it is not impossible that he could be tempted away from Stamford Bridge for the right price said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

William Hill : Ashley Cole’s Club 1st Day Of 12/13 Prem Season?
Chelsea 1/4
Barcelona 5/1
Real Madrid 7/1
Man City 10/1
Man Utd 16/1
Anzhi Makhachkala 20/1

Rooney Backed For Two Match Ban As Robins 5th Runner To Be Forest Favourite

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

ROONEY BACKED TO GET TWO MATCH+ EURO BAN

WILLIAM HILL have cut their odds for Wayne Rooney to be banned for two games or more following his sending off against Montenegro from 11/4 to 7/4. ‘We haven’t taken any particularly hefty individual bets but the overwhelming majority of those we have taken are for an extended suspension’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills now offer 2/5 that he will be banned for just the one game.

FIFTH FOREST FAVOURITE

MARK ROBINS is the fifth contender to become favourite to succeed Steve McClaren as Forest manager with William Hil who make the former Barnsley boss 2/1 to take over, ahead of 9/4 second favourite Steve Cotterill; 5/2 Roy Keane; 7/2 Nigel Clough; 11/2 Kevin MacDonald; 9/1 John Pemberton.
‘As seems to be par for the course with so many such markets, the Forest managerial merry-go-round has been a volatile one and you wouldn’t be over surprised if there were another five favourites before the issue is finally resolved’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

OXLADE-CHAMBERLAIN 6/4 TO MAKE ENGLAND’S EURO SQUAD

FOLLOWING his impressive hat trick against Switzerland in the Euro U21 Championship, Arsenal starlet Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is a 6/4 chance with William Hill to make it into England’s senior squad for the Euro 2012 finals. ‘Oxlade-Chamberlain will inevitably be compared with Theo Walcott, and there is an argument that his elevation into Sven’s World Cup squad was actually harmful to his career at that stage’ said Hills spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills are also betting on how many Premier League starts he will make and goals he will score.
