Fabio Backed To Go Before End Of World Cup

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

PUNTERS BET FABIO WILL BE OUT BEFORE END OF WORLD CUP

WILLIAM HILL have slashed their odds for Fabio Capello to be an ex-England manager before the end of the World Cup from 10/3 to 2/1 after a rush of bets for the Italian to walk away or be sacked during the tournament.
‘We had to slash the odds rapidly as punters poured cash on Fabio to go – noone at all wanted to take the current odds of 4/11 that he will still be in place when the World Cup is over – as far as England fans are concerned it is now a case of when will Fabi-go rather than if he will go’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
ALTHOUGH Roy Hodgson is being linked with the Liverpool job, William Hill believe he would be a leading candidate should Fabio Capello’s World Cup end in early elimination and dismissal or resignation as England boss.
Hills have installed Hodgson and Harry Redknapp as 3/1 joint favourites to succeed Capello as England boss; ‘Many people believe Hodgson should have got the job when Sven beat him to it and little that has happened since suggests that the Fulham boss wouldn;t have made a worse job of England than those who have since held the post’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
**Capello is 10/3 with Hills to cease to be England boss before the end of the World Cup.

WILLIAM HILL…TO SUCCEED FABIO AS PERMANENT ENGLAND BOSS:

Hodgson 3/1
Redknapp 3/1
Mourinho 5/1
Wenger 10/1
Pearce 10/1
Shearer 33/1
Beckham 50/1

YOU BET ROONEY WILL BE SORRY AGAIN!

WAYNE ROONEY is 6/1 with William Hill to have to issue ANOTHER official apology for some trangression during England’s game against Slovenia. ‘After the booing incident, for which he had had to formally apologise, we wouldn’t be surprised if there was another incident of similar type should England under-perform again on Wednesday’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. Hills have already cut their odds for Rooney to be red-carded in the game against Slovenia from 33/1 to 20/1.

WILLIAM HILL ARE BETTING ON WHETHER ANDY MURRAY WILL BE KNOCKED OUT OF WIMBLEDON BEFORE ENGLAND GO OUT OF THE WORLD CUP – AND OFFER 4/7 THAT MURRAY WILL BE THE FIRST TO GO OUT, 5/4 THAT IT WILL BE ENGLAND.

England 6/4 To Be Booed Off Again

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

As Fabio 10/3 to quit:
ENGLAND 6/4 TO BE BOOED OFF AGAIN!
WILLIAM HILL offer 6/4 that England will be booed off the pitch for the second successive game when they play Slovenia – and punters are beginning to bet that Fabio Capello will cease to be England manager before the end of the World Cup.’The mood towards England is turning hostile, the fans are restless, and Fabio is unlikely to survive a second fiasco in a row’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’We are 10/3 that he’ll be history by the end of the tournament’
ENGLAND are now quoted at 13/8 by William Hill to FAIL to qualify from their World Cup Group after the 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 the match was the biggest winning England game we can recall – the industry must have made around £10million -but as patriots we are almost in despair’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘We have made a short term profit from England’s two failures to win, 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
WAYNE ROONEY TO FAIL TO SCORE IN TOURNAMENT – 5/4
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.

You Bet Vuvuzela More Likely To Be Banned At Home Than At World Cup!

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

YOU BET VUVUZELA MORE LIKELY TO BE BANNED AT HOME THAN AT WORLD CUP!
BOOKMAKERS William Hill are offering odds of 7/4 that the Vuvuzela is officially banned from all Premier League grounds by the first day of next season. Hills are already offering 16/1 that the noisy objects will be banned from the World Cup before the end of the tournament, but now punters have begun betting that Premier League clubs will want to keep it out of their stadia.
‘The vuvuzela certainly polarises opinion and we suspect that individual clubs will want to put a rule in pace to enable them to ban them should they threaten to become widespread’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’We’ve already cut the odds on a ban from 3/1 to 7/4
Hills also offer 2/5 that spectators will be free to bring them into one or more Premier League grounds when the season begins.

Green Blunder Costliest Ever As Punters ‘ Robbed ‘ Of £10m +

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

Was this costliest soccer howler ever?
GREEN’S BLUNDER ROBS PUNTERS OF £10MILLION+

BOOKMAKERS William Hill say Rob Green’s disastrous error was the costliest mistake ever for Britain’s punters: ‘The difference between Green making the save, and letting the ball in made a difference of over £10million to how much bookies had to pay out to punters who backed England to win the game – in eight World Cups I can never remember a costlier blunder for backers – and that includes the Maradona hand of God goal – which only stopped England drawing, rather than winning’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. ‘Several punters had bet £10,000 on England to win and hundreds of thousands of supporters had more modest bets on the outcome of the game and the correct score.’

ROB GREEN IS EVEN MONEY FAVOURITE WITH WILLIAM HILL TO START THE GAME V ALGERIA, WITH DAVID JAMES AND JOE HART EACH OFFERED AT 9/4.

ENGLAND ARE 8/1 TO WIN THE WORLD CUP WITH WILLIAM HILL.

MARTIN JOHNSON, ENGLAND RUGBY UNION BOSS, IS 4/6 FAVOURITE TO LEAVE HIS JOB BEFORE FABIO CAPELLO DOES LIKEWISE – HILLS OFFER 11/10 VICED VERSA. ‘BOTH ENGLAND BOSSES ARE UNDER PRESSURE BUT JOHNSON CURRENTLY LOOKS MORE VULNERABLE’ SAID HILL’S SPOKESMAN GRAHAM SHARPE.

WILLIAM HILL OFFER 50/1 THAT THE VUVUZUELA WILL BE OFFICIALLY BANNED FROM STADIUMS BEFORE THE END OF THE WORLD CUP.

BOOKIES were the only ones celebrating England’s frustrating draw against USA – ‘It was the perfect result for us – it keeps England in the competition but means we have won a decent percentage of the £25million gambled on the game, of which the overwhelming majority was for an England win!’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’Robert Green’s blunder probably won bookies over five million pounds’

Rooney Mania Hits Betting Shops

ROONEY-MAYHEM IN BETTING SHOPS AS WORLD’S BIGGEST GAMBLE UNDER WAY

ROONEY-MANIA is helping drive the biggest gamble of all time as punters bet over £1 billion on the outcome of the World Cup, say bookmakers William Hill, who have already taken bets of £60,000; $85,000; £110,000 and £200,000 on the tournament and now anticipate a £25m gamble on England’s opening match against USA.
‘No event has ever produced a betting turnover of £1 billion before – but that is going to happen at this World Cup – we have already taken mega-bets of up to £200,000, with that amount staked on an accumulator bet, with £110,000 bet on France and £20,000 on Germany, to win the tournament’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’England fans have gone Rooney-crazy with their bets, and we’re in trouble if he scores a hat trick against the USA’

And England have not been ignored by the high rollers, with two bets of £6500 placed on them at odds of 8/1. But nor have England’s first opponents USA, on whom one punter has staked £5000 at 80/1 to win the tournament.

ENGLAND are 4/9 favourites to get off to a winning start against USA with William Hill who make them 4/9 favourites to win the game for which the USA are 13/2 outsiders with the draw at 16/5.

WAYNE ROONEY is 5/1 to be sent off during the tournament and 25/1 to do so against USA. He is 10/3 to score the opening goal of the game; 10/3 to score the last; 4/5 to score at any stage of the game; 7/2 to score 2 or more; 20/1 to score a hat trick.
‘We have had to create a whole range of Rooney special bets to cope with the demand from punters’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WILLIAM HILL ROONEY SPECIALS…..6/4 TO BE SUBSTITUTED V USA; 2/1 To be yellow carded; 7/2 to score in both halves;4/1 to score with a header; 5/1 to hit the woodwork; 6/1 to score from outside the penalty box; 7/1 to win a penalty.

William Hill are also offering a 14/1 treble for patriotic punters this weekend. For it to come in England need to beat Australia in the Rugby Union, followed by beating USA in the World Cup and finally an English driver winning the GP on Sunday.
