1/8 For Balotelli To Receive Retrospective Ban

Mario Baolotelli could well face retrospective action after appearing to stamp on the head of Scott Parker. Bookmakers, William Hill, are offering odds of 1/8 that Balotelli receives a four match ban from the FA and 9/2 that he does not. With Balotelli already having one red card to his name, William Hill are odds on, at 4/7 that he does not receive another this season, although he is 9/4 to get one more red card and 7/2 to get two or more.

“Balotelli is a volatile character and is always likely to be in the headlines but we think that while it is likely that he will receive a ban this time around, it could be the shot in the arm that turns his season around,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Will Balotelli receive a ban relating to Scott Parker Incident on Sunday: 1/8 yes; 9/2 no

Balotelli Red cards this season (only includes red cards shown on pitch and not retrospective bans): 4/7 one; 9/4 two; 7/2 three or more

16/1 England Match To Be Called Off In Fifa Poppy Row

16/1 ENGLAND MATCH TO BE CALLED OFF IN FIFA POPPY ROW
Bookmakers William Hill – who are donating profits from their ‘Poppy Shirt’ markets to the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal – have lengthened their odds about England playing the game in shirts adorned with poppies, from 7/2 to 9/2 and go 1/8 that they will not do so. ‘It seems unlikely that the FA will go so far as to disobey FIFA as blatantly as permitting the wearing of poppies on the shirts’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
FIFA have also indicated that the referee will have the authority to cancel the game if he is not happy with any aspect of England’s kit, and William Hill now offer 16/1 that the game will not take place, although they are 1/100 for it to go ahead.

William Hill Pay Out On Poppy Compromise

William Hill PAY OUT ON POPPY COMPROMISE……

WITH FIFA reportedly permitting England to play against Spain wearing armbands with the poppy emblem on them, bookmakers William Hill, who were betting on whether they would be allowed to sport the poppy during the game or not, are paying out to those who bet that they would, (at odds of 1/6 to 1/8) and also to those who bet they wouldn’t at odds of up to 9/2. ‘This is a classic compromise by FIFA, allowing both sides to claim victory and deny defeat, and as a case can be made for those who bet either yes or no to be winners we have decided to pay out to both.’ said William Hill spokesman Graham Sharpe.
AND William Hill HAVE ALSO ANNOUNCED THAT THEY WILL BE HANDING OVER A £5000 PAYMENT TO THE ROYAL BRITISH LEGION POPPY APPEAL. ‘We said we’d give the Poppy appeal our winnings – but as we are paying out on both options there won’t be any! So we have decided to make a donation of £5000 to the Appeal instead’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WM HILL POPPY SPECIALS STILL AVAILABLE:

PLAYER TO SCORE AND REVEAL A POPPY ON UNDER-SHIRT – 7/2 YES – 1/6 NO

You Bet Preston Fans Will Be Browned Off

YOU BET PRESTON FANS WILL STILL BE BROWNED OFF!

Despite appointing Phil Brown as their new manager, Preston are 7/4 with William Hill to remain in the Championship and 2/5 to be relegated – while Hills offer Even money that Brown will get them off the bottom of the table at any stage of the rest of the season, but Even money that they never manage to rise above that position.
‘Brown seems to relish a challenge – which is just as well considering Preston’s current plight’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
After Sir Alex Ferguson called back all of the Man U players on loan at Preston, Hills offer 5/2 that any United player will figure in the Preston side for any Championship game during the rest of the season.
Hills also offer 25/1 that Brown will keep his players on the pitch during half time of any Championship match this season, and 8/1 that the new boss will entertain the fans by singing on the pitch at any stage of the Championship season.’Brown is one of the game’s more eccentric characters so Preston fans can probably look forward to one or two surprise exploits’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WHERE WILL LIVERPOOL FINISH THE SEASON?

William Hill have opened a book on where Liverpool will finish the Premier League season in the table and make 5th-7th their 11/8 favourite. ‘Perhaps it is something of a damning indictment on the general current lack of quality in the Premier League that a club performing as badly as Liverpool can still be predicted to finish on the heels of the top four’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Returning Rio Ferdinand is 6/4 with William Hill to start as skipper for the remainder of England’s Euro 2012 Qualifying matches. (1/2 not to) ‘Fabio clearly has no doubts that if he is fit, Rio takes the armband, but with his patchy season so far due to injury there must be a chance that he may miss out again between now and the final qualifying game’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
With Wayne Rooney starting the match, Hills offer 4/7 that he will still be on the pitch when the final whistle blows – and 5/4 that he will not. ‘Rooney is another whose fitness has to be taken on trust and it would be no surprise to see him taken off if he looks off the pace, or, perhaps, if the game is well won some time before the end’ added Sharpe.
Hills offer 3/10 that Joe Hart will start the rest of the games in goal.
