You Bet Little Winker Has Matured Into Euro Hero For Portugal

Spain are the 2/5 favourites to make it through to the final of the Euros and William Hill think that they will do so in style, offering 7/4 that they have between 56 and 60% of possession during the game and 2/1 that they have between 61 and 65%.

All eyes will be on Cristiano Ronaldo as he tries to propel his team into the final of the Euros. William Hill make him 4/1 second favourite to win the Man of the Match award and 6/1 to score the first goal of the game.

“Ronaldo has dragged his teammates through a group they were not expected to qualify from and now, playing against players he faces on a weekly basis, he could take them to the final,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “That is if the Portuguese players can get the ball off their Spanish counterparts.”

Hills are expecting between £3 and £4 million to be staked on each of the semi finals, although had England qualified, at least £6m would have been staked on the Germany match alone.

England Now Joint Favs For World Cup Bid Win

Patriotic gamble slashes England World Cup 2018 odds:
ENGLAND NOW JOINT FAVOURITES TO WIN WORLD CUP BID

ENGLAND have been backed down to joint favouritism to win the 2018 World Cup bid with William Hill who have slashed their odds from 11/4 on Wednesday morning to 6/5, while Russia’s odds have drifted from 4/6 to 6/5.
‘Almost all of the bets staked on Wednesday – over 90% of them – were for England in a giant patriotic punt’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘Putin’s failure to attend seemed to persuade punters that he didn;t believe Russia could win and that sparked the main part of the gamble’

William Hill: TO WIN WORLD CUP 2018 BID…6/5 England; 6/5 Russia; 4/1 Portugal/Spain; 40/1 Holland/Belgium.

TO WIN 2022 BID…4/6 Qatar; 5/2 Australia; USA; 33 Japan; 40 S Korea.

Late Backing For England To Win 2018 World Cup Bid

ENGLAND BACKED TO WIN 2018 WORLD CUP BID

AFTER drifting out to 3/1 with William Hill to host the 2018 World Cup after the Panorama show, England have been the medium of a hefty patriotic gamble to win the right to stage the event following the efforts of Prince William , David Beckham and David Cameron and Hills have slashed their odds to 13/8 second favourites. ‘The cash has been piling on England to win the right to stage the 2018 World Cup bid but although over 75% of the bets have been for England, the larger bets are for the favourites, Russia. As bookies we face a six figure payout if England do win the bid, but we’ll be delighted to shell out as a World Cup in England would produce a record betting turnover of in excess of £2billion’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
William Hill OFFER 5/2 THAT DAVID CAMERON WILL STILL BE PRIME MINISTER WHEN THE 2018 WORLD CUP KICKS OFF – AND 25/1 THAT ENGLAND WILL BOTH HOST AND WIN THE 2018 TOURNAMENT.
And William Hill offer 10/1 that the 2026 World Cup will be organised by a new organisation not related to FIFA. ‘There is speculation that several influential countries are not happy with FIFA’s practices and domination of world football and may be prepared to attempt to break their monopoly oforganising the World Cup’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

LATEST William Hill 2018 WORLD CUP BID ODDS…8/11 Russia; 13/8 England; 9/2 Portugal/Spain; 40/1 Holland/Belgium.

USA SUPPORTED FOR 2022

William Hill have cut their odds for the USA to host the 2022 World Cup from 9/2 to 5/2 after a flurry of support for them to do so. ‘The late money is all for USA but Qatar look like remaining favourites’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

LATEST William Hill 2022 WORLD CUP BID ODDS….4/6 Qatar; 5/2 Australia; 5/2 USA; 33/1 Japan; 40/1 S Korea.

Massive Gamble On Russia For 2018

In the last 24 hours, William Hill have seen a heavy gamble (including one bet of £2000) in the London area for Russia’s 2018 World Cup Bid and have subsequently slashed their odds from Even money to 4/6. This has pushed England’s odds out to 9/4 and Portugal and Spain’s bid is priced at 3/1. It is a long way since England were the massive odds on favourites a month ago and it now seems as if Russia have the upper hand with a decision imminent on Tuesday.

“As opposed to England, Russia seems to be attracting money at the right time and with decision day getting ever closer, it seems as if there is only one winner,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

4/6 Russia; 9/4 England; 3/1 Portugal & Spain; 50/1 Belgium & Holland
