33/1 FABIO TO CELEBRATE WITH VUVUZELA BLAST

WILLIAM HILL OFFER 33/1 THAT FABIO CAPELLO WILL BE SEEN ON SCREEN BLOWING A VUVUZELA AT ANY STAGE OF THE WORLD CUP FINALS.’The vuvuzela is the unexpected symbol of the World Cup – but you suspect England will have to win the trophy for Fabio to go anywhere near one!’

ROB GREEN ODDS ON TO START

WILLIAM HILL MAKE ROBERT GREEN 4/7 FAVOURITE to start in goal for England’s second game, with David James offered at 15/8 and Joe Hart at 6/1. ‘This must be the best kept secret in football history’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘It is vIrtually unheard of to be able to bet on something of this nature within twenty four hours of kick off time.’

**To start v Algeria and keep clean sheet – Evens Green; 11/4 James; 17/2 Hart.

HILLS OFFER 4/1 THAT ENGLAND WILL USE ALL THREE KEEPERS AT SOME STAGE OF THE WORLD CUP.

YOU BET GERRARD WILL KEEP GOAL-SCORING RUN GOING

STEVEN GERRARD has scored three of England’s last five goals and is 5/4 to notch again against Algeria.

But Wayne Rooney is favourite to end up as England’s top scorer with Hills at 13/8, with Gerrard at 5/2. Lampard is 6/1, with Crouch 8/1; Defoe and Heskey 12/1.

14/1 ENGLAND TO WIN NEXT TWO GAMES – AND THE WORLD CUP!

ENGLAND are 14/1 with Hills to defeat both Algeria and Slovenia, and then go on to win the World Cup. ‘This should be an attractive bet for anyone who fancies England to go all the way – because if they can’t win both of these matches they won’t have much chance of lifting the trophy’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

ENGLAND are 1/4 to beat Algeria, 11/1, with the draw 9/2. To win Group: 8/15 England; 3/1 USA; 19/5 Slovenia; 66/1 Algeria.

WORLDWIDE WEBB?…Ref Howard Webb will be secretly hoping England fail to reach the World Cup Final – because if they do that will scupper his chances of being handed to top job for the game’s arbiters.

Webb performed well in his first game of the tournament and Hills quote him at 6/1 to get the nod to ref the Final. (Stakes refunded if England reach Final).

England 13/8 To Crash Out At Group Stage As Fabio 10/3 To Go

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

‘Biggest ever England winner for bookies’:
Fabio 10/3 to be gone by end of World Cup:
ENGLAND 13/8 TO GO OUT AT GROUP STAGE AS BOOKIES CLEAN UP

ENGLAND are now quoted at 13/8 by William Hill to FAIL to qualify from their World Cup Group after another dismal display against Algeria and Hills have lengthened England to 10/1 SIXTH favourites to win the tournament, having started as third favourites.
‘As bookmakers we should be over the moon, as that looks like the biggest winning England game we’ve ever seen – the indiustry must have made around £10million -but as patriots we are almost in despair’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘We are making short term profits from England’s failures but in the long term we want them going much further in the tournament to keep the interest going’
Hills believe that Fabio Capello’s own future as England boss is now under threat and they offer 10/3 that he will be gone by the end of the tournament. ‘If England don’t improve rapidly Fabio’s future as boss will be measured in days rather than years’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’He certainly won’t be around to celebrate his 65th birthday, exactly a year hence, as England manager.’
ENGLAND ARE 2/5 WITH HILLS TO WIN THEIR VITAL GAME AGAINST SLOVENIA, WHO ARE 6/1 WITH THE DRAW 11/4.

ENGLAND TO QUALIFY….4/9 YES….13/8 NO

TO WIN WORLD CUP….9/2 Argentina; 5/1 Brazil; 5/1 Spain; 7/1 Holland; 9/1 Germany; 10/1 England; 14/1 Italy; 25/1 Portugal; 500/1 Algeria.

England Now Second Favourites For World Cup

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

England second favourites for World Cup as:
RECORD £1 BILLION MEGA WORLD CUP GAMBLE

THE 2010 WORLD CUP WILL BE THE FIRST SPORTING EVENT TO PRODUCE A BETTING TURNOVER OF OVER £1 BILLION, PREDICT BOOKMAKERS WILLIAM HILL. ‘The last World Cup came close to producing a £1 billion turnover, but we have no doubt that the 2010 tournament will smash through the barrier and go well beyond. The excitement and interest surrounding the tournament is at an all time high – and it looks the most open World Cup for many years, which will enhance the betting interest’ said William Hill spokesman Graham Sharpe.
‘We are desperate for England to do well – but not quite well enough to win as that would cost us millions’ said Sharpe, ‘Our ideal scenario is for England to reach the Final but lose on a penalty shoot-out. That is a 90/1 chance. But even if England do win – well, we’ve had forty three years since 1966 to save up!’

ENGLAND NOW WORLD CUP SECOND FAVOURITES

WILLIAM HILL have cut England from 6/1 third favourites to 5/1 second favourites following the World Cup draw. Spain are 4/1 favourites with Hills who also offer 11/2 Brazil; 9/1 Argentina; 11/1 France and Italy; 12/1 Germany; 14/1 Holland; 25/1 Portugal; 33/1 Chile and Ivory Coast; 50/1 Paraguay; 66/1 Cameroon;Ghana Mexico; Serbia and Uruguay; 80/1Nigeria and USA; 100/1 Australia; 125/1 Denmark and South Africa; 150/1 Greece and Switzerland; 200/1 S Korea and Slovenia; 250/1 Slovaki; Japan and Algeria; 750/1 Honduras; 1000/1 New Zealand; 2000/1 North Korea.
‘England have received a dream draw and have been promoted to second favourites’ said William Hill spokesman Graham Sharpe.
**ENGLAND MAY NOT BE FAVOURITES TO WIN THE 2010 WORLD CUP – BUT THEY ARE 7/4 FAVOURITES WITH WILLIAM HILL TO WIN THE RIGHT TO HOST THE 2018 WORLD CUP.(Hills also offer 9/4 Spain-Portugal; 3/1 Australia; 9/2 Russia; 20/1 Holland- Belgium; 25/1 Japan; 33/1 USA; 50/1 Indonesia.
**HILLS OFFER 100/1 THAT THIERRY HENRY WILL BE SENT OFF FOR HANDBALL DURING THE TOURNAMENT.

ENGLAND WORLD CUP BID ODDS ON DRIFT

HAVING BEEN 6/4 FAVOURITES to win the right to host the 2018 World Cup with William Hill, England’s odds of doing so have been lengthened to 2/1 by Hills amidst reports that all is not progressing smoothly with the bid. ‘Support for the England bid is beginning to dry up, and we have seen no significant bets for them in recent days, while money is coming in for the Australian and Spain-Portugal bids’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

20/1 ENGLAND – BRAZIL IS WORLD CUP FINAL DRESS REHEARSAL!

WILLIAM HILL are offering 20/1 that England and Brazil, who play a weekend friendly, will meet again in the World Cup Final – and 3/1 that the two take each other on at any stage of the tournament. ‘England go into this match on good terms with themselves and as one of the countries qualifying in style for the final stages, so speculation about an England- Brazil Final may not be regarded as entirely unhinged!’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
However, Hills still make Brazil 23/20 favourites to win the game, with England 2/1 and the draw 21/10. Brazil are Evens with Hills to go further than England in the World Cup, with Capello’s side 11/8 to do vice versa, and 4/1that both will be eliminated at the same stage. (3rd place play off to count if relevant).

IS BECKS NO-HOPER TO BEAT SHILTS?

DAVID BECKHAM’s absence from the squad for the Brazil game is a blow to his chances of ovrtaking Peter Shilton’s record number of caps, and William Hill have pushed him out from 3/1 to 5/1 as a consequence. ‘He now has virtually no chance of catching Shilton during the World Cup, and his best hope may be to get so close that the FA take pity on him and organise a series of friendlies to take him past Shilts. Failing that, if he does play well during the World Cup, Capello may keep him involved for the Euro qualification campaign – always assuming that the boss is still there after the World Cup’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
William Hill: To make England World Cup Squad
Yes No
Beckham……. 4/7 5/4
Owen…………. 9/4 1/3
Heskey………. 1/16 7/1
Carrick……….. 1/8 9/2

Agbonlahor….. 5/4 4/7
Ferdinand……… 1/7 4/1
Huddlestone ……9/4 1/3
Walcott …………2/9 3/1

16/5 ALL FOUR SEEDS TO MAKE WORLD CUP FINALS

WILLIAM HILL are offering 16/5 that all four seeded countries involved in the play offs – Greece, France, Russia and Portugal – will make it through to the Finals, and 125/1 that none of them will do so.
HILLS….Play offs- to qualify….. 4/6 Ukraine v 11/10 Greece; 2/9 Portugal v 7/2 Bosnia; 1/4 Russia v 11/4 Slovenia; 2/7 France v 5/2 Rep Ire

WILL BEARDED BECKHAM BE CLEAN SHAVEN FOR WORLD CUP?

WILLIAM HILL offer odds of 11/4 that newly bearded David Beckham will be completely clean shaven when England’s first match in the World Cup finals kicks off, and 1/4 that he is sporting a beard,designer stubble, goatee, moustache or some other variety of facial hair. (Stakes refunded if Beckham not in squad). ‘It is difficult to imagine that Fabio Capello will want his players running out for World Cup games looking like extras from Pirates of the Caribbean’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

ENGLAND FAVOURITES TO HOST 2018 WORLD CUP
WITH FIFA VICE PRESIDENT Jack Warner generously advising England on how to go about winning the right to host the 2018 World Cup, William Hill have installed them as 6/4 favourites to do so. ’52 years down the line it would seem not unreasonable that one of the few countries ever to have won the tournament should be given the right to host it again’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe,’But football politics make Machiavelli’s machinations look straightforward, so this race looks wide open’
William Hill: To host 2018 World Cup:
England 6/4
Australia 10/3
Russia 7/2
Spain/Portugal 4/1
Holland/Belgium 33/1
Japan 33/1
USA 33/1
Indonesia 50/1

NOW ZOLA ‘FIRST BOSS OUT’ ODDS SLASHED

WITH rumours that Zola may be perusaded away from financially challenged West Ham to an Italian club, William Hill have cut the odds about him being the first Premiership manager to leave his club this season, from 25/1 to 6/1 fourth favourite.
Hills currently make Paul Hart 7/4 favourite, with Phil Brown at 15/8 and Harry Redknapp 3/1. Alex McLeish is a 7/1 chance, with Gary Megson at 14/1 and Sam Allardyce 20/1.
Hills offer 20/1 that no Premiership manager will depart his club this season, and have opened a book on when the first will go – offering 11/8 that it will be during October 2009. ‘The ‘First to go’ market has been extremely volatile in recent weeks, yet we are still waiting for a departure – we believe the first one will be sooner, rather than later’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe,

HILLS: When will the 1st Premier league manager leave his club:
Oct-09 11/8
Nov-09 15/8
Dec-09 9/2
Jan-10 8/1
1st Feb-10 until the final day of Premier season 8/1
No Manager to go 25/1

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.
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.’
