ENGLAND WORLD CUP ODDS ON THE DRIFT

WILLIAM HILL have lengthened Englands 2014 World Cup odds from 12/1 to 16/1 following their disappointing display against Switzerland. They have also lengthened France from 20/1 to 28/1 following the announcement of the seedings for the forthcoming World Cup draw, and shortened favourites Brazil from 7/2 to 5/2, with second favourites Spain out to 5/1 from 9/2.
We have decided that on current form, under the current manager England do not warrant being any shorter than 16/1 and that as we have no idea who the boss will be when 2014 gets underway we should be looking to lay them now said Hills spokesman Graham Sharpe.
WITH CARLO ANCELOTTI taking a year out but reportedly saying he wants to remain in management in England, Hills have introduced him into the Next England manager market at 16/1. If it is decided to opt for another foreign boss Ancelotti would surely be a contender after all, he speaks better English than Capello said Hills spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Not Everyone Fancies England For World Cup

June 15, 2010 Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments 163, Bet, Bets, Betting Shops, Capello, Cup Triumphs, Financial Liability, Graham Sharpe, Holland, Les Bleus, Match, North Korea, Northern Ireland, Outsiders, Punters, Regional Differences, Sp-fb, Spokesman, Top Billing, William Hill, World Cup Odds

YOU BET NOT ALL BRITS FANCY ENGLAND FOR WORLD CUP!

ALMOST one of every five bets being placed on the World Cup with William Hill by punters in English betting shops is for England to win the tournament – but in Wales it is only one in every nine; in Northern Ireland one in every twelve – and in Scotland just one in every twenty.
‘It is certainly the case that there are regional differences in the support for England to win the World Cup, which is to be expected – but taking the betting as a whole, England are definitely the one team we’d rather see not win the World Cup,’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
In English betting shops Hills only Spain rival the support for England; in Wales the most popular selection is Brazil (21%), closely followed by Spain, with England 3rd; in Northern Ireland punters are opting for Argentina (24%), Spain, Brazil and Holland in front of England; and in Scotland, Brazil (26%) take top billing ahead of Argentina, Spain, and Holland with England 5th.
France are currently the worst possible result for Hills, who have taken one bet of £110,000 on Les Bleus at odds of 20/1, but England are a close second, and Hills anticipate that they will regain the lead before the first match kicks off – ‘The single France mega-bet has distorted our financial liability for France, as there are very few other big bets for them, but we are continually taking substantial bets for England and victory for Capello’s team will prove hideously expensive for us’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Bizarrely, North Korea are Hill’s third worst result – ‘We have taken scores of small bets of up to £80 for the 2000/1 outsiders’ – with Germany, the subject of a £60,000 bet with Hills at 14/1 on Thursday, now the 4th worst outcome.
At the other end of the scale, Hills would welcome unlikely World Cup triumphs for New Zealand, Honduras, Slovakia or Slovenia.

WORLD CUP PUNTERS TARGET GERMANY AND HOLLAND

WILLIAM HILL cut Holland from 10/1 to 9/1 fifth favourites in the face of continued support for the Dutch to win the World Cup, while one Hill’s client has gambled a substantial £60,000 bet on Germany to win the tournament at odds of 14/1 – and stands to make £840,000 profit.Hills have also taken a bet of £110,000 (£55,000 each-way) on France to win the tournament at odds of 20/1, perhaps the biggest ever pre-tournament outright bet. ‘Betting on the World Cup is at record levels for pre-tournament turnover, which suggests to us that a record £1billion betting turnover is a certainty, making this World Cup the biggest sports betting event of all time.’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills have also cut the odds about a Brazil v S Korea World Cup final from 500/1 to 200/1 after taking a string of small online bets for that outcome. ‘We can half understand this gamble!’ commented Sharpe.

‘WE DON’T THINK 8/1 ENGLAND WILL WIN WORLD CUP’ SAY BOOKIES

BOOKMAKERS William Hill have pushed England out to the longest odds they have been since qualifying for the World Cup and quote them at 8/1 to bring home the trophy. ‘We’re not saying England CAN’T win the World Cup, but we’re pretty sure they won’t, so are looking to take as much money for them as possible at the industry leading price of 8/1’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
‘The regular patriotic punt on England at Euros and World Cups always gives us mega-liabilities – but it has been 44 years now since they landed one of these gambles so we are prepared to stick to our 8/1 offer- after all,we’ve had nearly half a century to save up in case they do finally manage to win again!’
Hills expect a record £1 billion+ to be gambled on the World Cup.
