Spain 20/1 To Win Next Two Tournaments At Least

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

Spain became double European Champions and all eyes will turn to the World Cup in Brazil. William Hill make Spain 2/7 to win their qualifying group and 6/4 to do so without losing a game. Once they touch down in Brazil, the Spaniards are 11/2 joint second favourites to win. Spain have now won three major tournaments in a row and are 20/1 to carry on winning tournaments until at least the World Cup in 2018.

As the match kicked off, the focus was on Mario Balotelli, but as the game finished, he had been overshadowed by Fernando Torres who came on and scored one and set one up. Hills offer 1/2 that Torres scores more goals than Balotelli in next season’s Premier League (6/4 that he does not).

“Spain were simply unplayable tonight and have now won the right to be called the best European side ever,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “They are 20/1 to win the next two tournaments at least and the way they have played over the last eight years, it would take a brave man to be against them doing it.”

William Hill Spain Odds:

World Cup 2014 qualifying group I: 2/7 Spain; 5/2 France; 50/1 Belarus; 150/1 Finland; 200/1 Georgia

6/4 Spain to qualify for World Cup 2014 without losing

World Cup 2014 winner: 11/4 Brazil; 11/2 Argentina; 11/2 Spain; 8/1 Germany; 14/1 Holland; 14/1 Uruguay; 16/1 Italy; 20/1 England; 20/1 Portugal; 25/1 BAR

When will Spain next lose an international tournament: 1/8 World Cup 2014; 5/1 Euro 2016; 20/1 World Cup 2018 or later

Balotelli and Torres 2012/13 season match bet: 1/2 Torres; 6/4 Balotelli

*NOTE* Hills are settling top goalscorer as a six man dead heat. Double tournament winner/top goalscorer will be settled on Monday

Patriotic gamble slashes England World Cup 2018 odds:
ENGLAND NOW JOINT FAVOURITES TO WIN WORLD CUP BID

ENGLAND have been backed down to joint favouritism to win the 2018 World Cup bid with William Hill who have slashed their odds from 11/4 on Wednesday morning to 6/5, while Russia’s odds have drifted from 4/6 to 6/5.
‘Almost all of the bets staked on Wednesday – over 90% of them – were for England in a giant patriotic punt’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘Putin’s failure to attend seemed to persuade punters that he didn;t believe Russia could win and that sparked the main part of the gamble’

WILLIAM HILL: TO WIN WORLD CUP 2018 BID…6/5 England; 6/5 Russia; 4/1 Portugal/Spain; 40/1 Holland/Belgium.

TO WIN 2022 BID…4/6 Qatar; 5/2 Australia; USA; 33 Japan; 40 S Korea.

ENGLAND WORLD CUP 2018 ODDS DRIFT

FOLLOWING Monday night’s Panorama programme, William Hill have lengthened their odds for England to win the 2018 World Cup bid from 9/4 second favourites to 3/1 third favourites. ‘While the programme did not seem to suggest anything which would have a direct impact on England’s bid there may be a public backlash against the conditions imposed by FIFA which, it was suggested, the Bid Team is prepared to go along with.’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’FIFA representatives may also not be that impressed by some of the allegations levelled against them.’

WILLIAM HILL NOW MAKE RUSSIA 4/6 FAVOURITES TO HOST THE 2018 WORLD CUP, WITH THE SPAIN/PORTUGAL BID 11/4 SECOND FAVOURITE, ENGLAND 3/1 THIRD FAVOURITE AND BELGIUM/HOLLAND 16/1 OUTSIDERS.

Massive Gamble On Russia For 2018

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

In the last 24 hours, William Hill have seen a heavy gamble (including one bet of £2000) in the London area for Russia’s 2018 World Cup Bid and have subsequently slashed their odds from Even money to 4/6. This has pushed England’s odds out to 9/4 and Portugal and Spain’s bid is priced at 3/1. It is a long way since England were the massive odds on favourites a month ago and it now seems as if Russia have the upper hand with a decision imminent on Tuesday.

“As opposed to England, Russia seems to be attracting money at the right time and with decision day getting ever closer, it seems as if there is only one winner,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill World Cup 2018 World Cup Bid:

4/6 Russia; 9/4 England; 3/1 Portugal & Spain; 50/1 Belgium & Holland

“A month ago, England were the hot favourites to host the 2018 World Cup, but sadly it seems like Russia have now won the bid,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

2018: 1/1 Russia; 13/8 England; 11/4 Portugal & Spain; 50/1 Belgium & Holland

YOU BET ENGLAND WORLD CUP 2018 BID IN FREEFALL…….

The odds about England winning the right to host the 2018 World Cup bid are drifting alarmingly with William Hill, who no longer make the front-runners favourites to win the race.
‘We have lengthened England’s odds consistently, from 8/11 to Even money in the past three days, but can’t take any money for them, while Russia’s odds have shortened from 6/4, and their bid is now odds-on favourite at 10/11, and the momentum seems to be with them’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

TO HOST 2018 WORLD CUP….10/11 Russia; Evens England; 8/1 Portugal/Spain; 33/1 Belgium/Holland.
