You Bet It’s Time To Drop The Flops

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

Of the players that started for England on Sunday night, there were a number of players who have been the mainstay of England’s underperforming side for the last 10 years or so. William Hill are now offering just 9/1 that Hodgson drops at least eight of those for their first match of the World Cup qualifiers. He is 6/5 to remain relatively loyal to his quarter final players with 6/5 offered for eight or nine of them to start vs Moldova.

England did show sporadic flashes of ability during the Euros, although all too infrequent and all eyes now turn to the World Cup qualifying. With a supposedly “easy” group, England are 1/5 to qualify and 4/9 to top the group. With England still unbeaten under Roy Hodgson (not counting penalties), Hills are 5/2 to qualify for the World Cup in Brazil without losing a game. Once there Hills do not think that they have much hope of winning the tournament and they are 20/1 to lift the Jules Rimet in two year’s time – the biggest price they have ever been for a World Cup.

“England hardly impressed during the tournament, but at the same time, showed a new found resilience. A bit of tinkering from Roy could produce a winning formula for the qualifiers and we think they will breeze through to Brazil,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

The Euros take pause for a few days as the semi finals loom on the horizon and William Hill are taking stock on what has been a torrid tournament for the bookies so far. “Not even England’s exit has given us any cheer,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “Before last night, we had gone 14 games without a draw and when that happens, we are always going to take a bit of a kicking. On the plus side though, we have two fantastic semi finals in the pipeline and we reckon that turnover for the last three games could approach £10m for us alone.”

William Hill Semi Finals:
7/2 Portugal; 10/11 Spain; 11/5 draw
5/6 Germany; 19/5 Italy; 11/5 Draw

Winner: 13/8 Spain; 13/8 Germany; 11/2 Portugal; 11/2 Italy

England World Cup Qualifiers:
1/5 Qualify (10/3 not to)
4/9 Top the group (13/8 not to)
5/2 Qualify without losing a group game (2/7 not to)

How many of England’s starting XI vs Italy will start vs Moldova (7/9/12): 9/1 0-3; 2/1 4-7; 6/5 8-9; 9/4 10-11

England World Cup 2014 winner: 20/1

Euro 2012…gareth Barry, Goal Machine…rooney Ban

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

With the Republic of Ireland qualifying for Euro 2012 on Tuesday night, William Hill make them 11/4 to progress further than England in the tournament. Capello’s men are odds on, however, to go further that the Irish at 5/6. By defeating Sweden, England managed to go through the entirety of 2012 without losing once and Hills offer 12/1 that they do so next year (in 90 minutes only).

Reaching the semi finals in the tournament in Poland and the Ukraine would be considered an unbridled success and Hills are offering 6/4 that England reach the last four in 2012 and are also offering 9/2 that they do so in the 2014 World Cup. England are 100/1 to win both the 2012 Euros and 2014 World Cup.

England scored their 2,000th goal against Sweden but unfortunately, it will go down in the record books as an own goal. Hills have decided to pay out on Gareth Barry being first scorer, last scorer, anytime scorer and the 1-0 Gareth Barry scorecast.

“The scoreboard at Wembley displayed throughout the game that Gareth Barry was the goalscorer but despite Daniel Majstorovic being credited as having got the final touch we are celebrating a landmark 2,000 England goals by paying out to any punter who backed the City midfielder to score,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Wayne Rooney will face his disciplinary hearing on the 9th of December and will learn his Euro 2012 fate. He is 11/10 to have his three game reduced and 4/6 that it stays the same or is extended.

England Double (2012 Euros & 2014 WC): 100/1

England to reach Euro 2012 semi finals: 6/4 yes; 1/2 no

England to reach WC 2014 semi finals: 9/2 yes; 1/8

Euro 2012 – England/Rep Ireland Match Bet: 5/6 England; 11/4 Ireland; 2/1 Draw

Wayne Rooney Ban after the hearing on the 9th December: 11/10 Ban is reduced; 4/6 Ban stays the same or is extended

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

Republic of Ireland are 200/1, while Scotland are 300/1. Wales and Northern Ireland are both offered at 1000/1 to win the World Cup.

“England have generally performed well in qualifying, but should they get drawn against France, their odds will be expected to drift considerably,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

England will, of course, have a new manager at the helm when they start their qualifying campaign and Hills make Harry Redknapp the 6/4 favourite to get the gig followed by Martin O’Neill at 6/1, Gareth Southgate at 8/1 and Roy Hodgson at 9/1.

World Cup 2014 Winner: 5/2 Brazil; 5/1 Spain; 6/1 Argentina; 11/1 Germany; 12/1 Holland; 16/1 England; 20/1 Italy; 25/1 Portugal; 28/1 France; 33/1 Uruguay; 33/1 Chile; 50/1 Ivory Coast; 50/1 Serbia; 66/1 BAR

Next England Manager: 6/4 Harry Redknapp; 6/1 Martin O’Neill; 8/1 Gareth Southgate; 9/1 Roy Hodgson; 14/1 Steve Bruce; 14/1 Jose Mourinho; 16/1 Stuart Pearce; 16/1 Sam Allardyce; 16/1 Carlo Ancelotti; 16/1 Guus Hiddink; 20/1 David Beckham; 20/1 Glenn Hoddle; 20/1 Mark Hughes; 20/1 Arsene Wenger; 20/1 Alan Shearer; 20/1 Ian Holloway

England 10/1 To Host 2030 World Cup

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

England now 10/1 to host 2030 World Cup……..£3 billion mega-gamble at 2018 World Cup?
THEY WILL NOT HOST IT, BUT YOU CAN BET ENGLAND WILL GO INTO 2018 WORLD CUP FINALS WITH STUART PEARCE AS BOSS, JACK WILSHERE AS SKIPPER, AND DAVID CAMERON AS PRIME MINISTER!!

DESPITE ENGLAND NOT HOSTING the 2018 World Cup, bookmakers William Hill are predicting that the tournament could produce the biggest betting turnover ever for a major sporting event of up to £3billion- and England are 14/1 with Hills to win it.
‘Each World Cup ALWAYS produces the biggest betting event so far, but with the tournament taking place in the home of both football and betting we are already anticipating an amazing betting bonanza with up to £3billion being gambled on the 2018 tournament worldwide – at least double what the 2010 event managed’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’However, had England won we’d have expected a betting turnover of up to £5billion.’

ENGLAND are now 10/1 with William Hill to host the 2030 World Cup. ‘We’re now finding it as difficult to make a serious bid to host the World Cup as we do to win Eurovision’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

HILLS have already opened a book on a number of elements of the 2018 tournament: ‘The shrewd punters backed Russia – one South London customer staked £2000 on them at 4/5 -but a late patriotic gamble which promoted England back to the favouritism they lost after the Sunday Times revelations made the market a six figure winner for us – which is some (very) small consolation for the World Cup not coming home’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

ALREADY, Hills have put up markets for who will manage and skipper the England side which takes the field for the country’s first game of the 2018 World Cup finals – and which other players will be part of it – Wayne Rooney is 2/1 to make it, (and 9/1 favourite to score England’s first goal of the Finals) (1/2 not to) but the shortest priced contender is Jack Wilshere at 7/4 (4/7 not to). ‘Over seven years is a long time to wait for your winnings, but if you correctly select a player who starts you’ll be receiving back over 175% profit on your original investment – not something many banks and building societies are likely to be able to match!’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. ‘And we are offering our punters a 100% market because of the timeframe, leaving no profit margin for ourselves’ he added.

Former favourites England are now 6/4 second favourites with William Hill to host the 2018 World Cup as the storm over Sunday Times allegations and the forthcoming Panorama show continues. ‘Punters certainly believe that the England bid has been damaged by this row, and before it broke they were odds on favourites, but have now been overtaken in the betting by Russia, the new favourites.’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills offer 20/1 that England will both HOST the 2018 tournament, and also WIN it.

WILLIAM HILL …WORLD CUP HOSTS 2018…10/11 Russia; 6/4 England; 7/2 Spain/Portugal; 50/1 Holland/Belgium.

WHO’LL GO FIRST – AVRAM OR ROY?

Grant, 11/8 still to be West Ham boss on the first day of next season with Hills, is 7/4 second favourite to be the NEXT Prem manager to leave his club, with Hodgson 7/2 third favourite. Ahead of both of them in Hill’s betting is 13/8 favourite Roberto Mancini. Hills also offer 12/1 Holloway, Hughton, McCarthy, with Martinez at 14/1.
