Daily World Cup Betting Podcasts, from Racing Diary

Its the World Cup Final, and the third place play off this weekend. The big one is Spain v Holland with a English Referee, Howard Webb. We look at the World Cup Betting opportunities. This is the World Cup Betting Podcast for the World Cup Final….

Spain and Holland go head to head, Spain have conceded only two goals so far in the tournament and Holland have set a record of 14 straight World Cup Wins in 90 minutes.

Howard Webb is the referee, he is 7/2 to issue a card and 33/1 to send off Van Bommell which must be worth a few quid. On Saturday we have the third place play-off…
19:30 Uruguay (4) Draw (14/5) Germany (4/5)
Always a high scoring fixture, I fancy Germany as does Octopus Paul….

Holland offer genuine value here, but Spain will be tough to score against, only 2 goals conceded is an amazing record. For me though its Spain, but do all the boys agree? Listen to the World Cup Betting Podcast.

Some World Cup Bets….
WITH PUNTERS APPARENTLY reluctant to back Spain to beat the Dutch in the World Cup Final, William Hill are to lengthen their 90 minutes odds to an industry-leading 6/5 for online and telephone clients from 7a.m on Friday morning. ‘Despite already taking bets of £10,000, £25,000 and £50,000 for Spain to win the World Cup, we cannot now seem to persuade punters to back Spain to beat the Dutch in 90 minutes, so, as they are a seven figure winner for us we are trying to tempt punters to support them – hopefully Paul the Octopus will tip them to help us out!’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

A William Hill Manchester betting shop client stands to collect £424,000 if David Villa, now 8/11 favourite to do so, ends up as tournament top scorer after placing a £30,000 double on Holland to win their Group at 4/7, with Villa at 8/1.

Another Hill’s shop punter in Essex placed a £250 treble on Rafa Nadal and Serena Williams to win their respective Wimbledon singles tournaments, running on to Holland – and will collect £30,000 if the Dutch oblige.

‘It has been a good World Cup for bookies thus far, with 52% favs winning , 27% draws and 21% underdogs, which doesn’t sound that great, except that the high turnover matches have tended to go our way – not least the England matches, and the Germany-Spain semi in which there were bets of 500,000 and 75,000 euros on a German win’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WILLIAM HILL now make Spain 4/7 favourites to win the World Cup, with Holland offered at 6/4.
Hills make Spain 6/5 to win in 90m with Holland 13/5 and the draw 11/5. (PRICES AVAILABLE FROM 7A.M.)

Hills offer 9/2 that the Final will go to a penalty shoot-out; Holland are 10/1 to win by that method, with Spain also quoted at 10/1. Holland are 11/1 to win in extra time, with Spain 9/1 to do likewise.

DAVID VILLA is 8/11 to end up as World Cup top scorer with Hills who also offer 5/2 Sneijder; 4 Klose; 14 Muller; 16 Forlan; 100 Suarez.

VAN BOMMEL FOR BOOKING?
WILLIAM HILL have cut their price for Van Bommel to be booked during the Final (90m play) from 9/4 to 13/8 after taking a string of bets of up to £600 a time on the tough tackling Dutchman to fall foul of the referee.

REPEAT FOR PUYOL?
AFTER Carles Puyol headed Spain to victory against Germany, William Hill offer 25/1 that he will score again from a header during 90m play of the Final.

FERNANDO PENALTY?
WILLIAM HILL offer 12/1 that Torres will win a penalty.(90m play)
ARJEN ROBBEN is 13/2 with Hills to score from outside the box.(90m play)

Stan James Supporting Holland!

Not even Paul the psychic octopus can save us now I’m afraid!!

Football Betting Tips

Football - Spain World Cup Final

Stan James were left ruing their Spain World Cup offer when Carlos Puyol headed the European champions into Sunday’s World Cup Final. Remember our pre-tournament concession that we will refund all losing stakes on bets placed prior to the start of the tournament on the outright market as a free bet if Spain win their first World Cup.

With Holland a loser in the book and money back if Spain win, Sunday could easily produce the most unwanted hat-trick in bookmaking history given we also refunded losing stakes recently when England won the T20 World Cup and when Rafael Nadal won the French Open without dropping a set.

Spain are 4/7 to lift the trophy and 11/10 to beat the Dutch in 90 minutes after their best performance of the competition in easily disposing of a German team who didn’t go out with a wimper in Durban but certainly not with a bang either. There was not a single yellow card in the whole 90 minutes last night which might be a record and I’m sure the combative Dutch midfield duo of Mark van Bommell and Nigel De Jong will not allow Xavi, Xabi Alonso and Iniesta such freedom in Soccer City. There is no decision at the time of writing on who will be in charge of the Final on Sunday but Howard Webb or whoever gets the nod will surely be busier than Wednesday’s Hungarian official Viktor Kassai.

Holland have won all six games in South Africa and have been very well backed both pre and during the tournament, but not all their key players have hit their top form with Arsenal’s Robin Van Persie especially due a big game. The Oranje have finished runner up in 2 previous World Cup Finals losing 2-1 to Germany in 74 and 2-1 to Argentina in 78. A hat-trick of 2-1 defeats is priced at 8/1.

World Cup Final; Holland v Spain. World Cup Betting Update.

July 8, 2010 By

Spain will play Holland in the World Cup final on Sunday after knocking out Germany. A Carles Puyol goal sent the favourites through against Germany in a match in which Spain dominated possession. World Cup Betting Update.

It will be the first time the reigning European champions have played in a World Cup final. Holland, twice runners-up, reached the final by beating Uruguay 3-2 in Cape Town on Tuesday. It means there will be a new name on the trophy for the first time since France claimed victory in Paris in 1998. Read More at Sky News

Paul, an octopus in a German zoo who predicts the national side’s football results, maintained his 100 per cent accuracy rate at this World Cup by foreseeing the team’s downfall at the hands of Spain. The animal has become the most unusual celebrity at this year’s tournament after correctly indicating whether Germany would win or lose each of their six games during the tournament. Read More at the Telegraph

A WILLIAM HILL telephone betting customer who staked a record 500,000 euros on Germany to beat Spain has lost his wager – the largest World Cup bet ever. ‘Not only did the 500,000 euro bet lose, but so did the 100,000 and 80,000 euro bets on Germany to win the tournament, and another 75,000 euro wager on them to get past Spain’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘Even though we have clients with £25,000 and £10,000 on Spain to win the World Cup we will be going into the Final celebrating the fact that Germany aren’t there. Germany losing that game made a difference of around £5million to us – it was almost certainly our best World Cup result ever. Now we’d like the Dutch to round off a fantastic tournament for us by beating Spain’ .

EVENS PAUL THE OCTOPUS TO PICK WORLD CUP WINNERS!

AND WILLIAM HILL ARE NOW OFFERING ODDS OF EVEN MONEY THAT PAUL THE OCTOPUS WILL TIP THE WINNERS OF THE WORLD CUP AFTER HIS LATEST TRIUMPH IN SELECTING SPAIN TO BEAT GERMANY. ‘Punters are keen to keep on the right side of Paul’s tips, so we are giving them the chance to bet that he’ll pick the winner BEFORE they even know which side he has opted for’ said William Hill spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WILLIAM HILL now make Spain 8/15 favourites to win the World Cup, with Holland offered at 6/4.

Germany v Spain Match Facts
• Spain had a 51-49 edge in possession
• Spanish side converted on 81 percent of its passes – to Germany’s 75 percent
• Germany – five shots, two on target, 13 shots on goal, five on target.

Holland v Uruguay Betting Preview

July 5, 2010 By

The first World Cup Semi Final takes place on Tuesday, Holland v Uruguay in a game where Uruguay are 6/1 to win in 90 minutes. The dutch are on a long unbeaten run, is it the form of World Champions?

Football Betting Tips

Holland World Cup Betting

Holland are a more glamerous team off the pitch than on the pitch, although they are winning games, just doing enough. They play as a team and never give up. They played well against Brazil and kept their cool and turned the game round after being a goal down. They play very well

as a team and are a solid unit. Not glamerous, at least not on the pitch, but a very very good football team.

Uruguay have had the luck and have played well as a team too. Their main man is Diego Forlan. He has played brilliantly well in this tournament, but to suggest they will beat Holland is a big leap of faith. The luck they had against Ghana though was astonishing, you need luck to win a World Cup.

My Thoughts on this game;
Listen!

The bottom line is, as the stats below show, there is not that much between the teams but for me I side with the Dutch, but there is no value in that. Match odds, best prices;

Live game odds ( Uruguay v Netherlands, Match Odds ) by InrunningOdds.com

Will there be many goals in this game? I think it is a cert that there will be under 2.5 goals….

Live game odds ( Uruguay v Netherlands, Under/Over 2.5 ) by InrunningOdds.com

Head to Head Stats:
• Uruguay won 3 of 4 meetings. Winners always scored twice
• Three games finished 2-0, the other 2-1
• Holland have won their last three matches 2-1 – against Cameroon, Slovakia and Brazil.
• If the Dutch succeed in 90 minutes tonight, they will set a new record for wins in a World Cup, after equalling the 1974 record (five) by beating Brazil.
• Wesley Sneijder has bagged six goals in his last seven internationals.

Tournament Stats….
• Uruguay 60 Shots 7 goals = 12% (conceded 2)
• Holland 57 Shots 9 goals = 16% (conceded 3)

HOLLAND have won their last three World Cup games, and William Hill now make the World Cup 2/1 shots 66/1to win both the semi final and final 2-1(including e-t, but not pen shoot-outs).

Hills also offer 10/3 that Holland will win both the semi final and final in 90 minutes play to complete a perfect record of seven straight 90 minutes play wins in the tournament.

Holland to win both of their 2 remaining games in 90 minutes: 10/3

Holland to win both of their 2 remaining games 2-1 in 90m play/e-t.: 66/1.

Brazil are looking for a new manager after Dunga quit. WHO’S NEXT FOR BRAZIL?

Next Brazil Manager: (William Hill bet) 2-1 Leonardo, 9-4 Phil Scolari, 7-2 Mano Menezes, 5-1 Muricy Ramalho, 6-1 Ricardo Gomes, 12-1 Carlos Alberto Parreira, 14-1 Wanderley Luxemburgo14-1 Zico, 16-1 Any foreign born coach, 40-1 Pele – Others on request.

You Bet: Diego Is Not A Mara-goner!

William Hill have opened betting on whether or not Diego Maradona will still be in charge of the Argentine national team when they play their friendly match against Ireland on the 11th of August.

The bookies make him a 4-7 chance to be in charge of the team to play Ireland, and 5-4 not to be.

Ireland’s match against Argentina will be the first soccer international at the new Aviva stadium in Dublin. The stadium was built to replace the old Lansdowne road which was demolished in 2007.

‘Maradona was given a heroes’ welcome on returning home to Buenos Aires, and we think the support he received from the public is likely to persuade him to stay on,’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe ‘However, we are talking about Diego Maradona – who what goes through his head at any given time.’

‘Maradona draws huge media attention wherever he goes – so it would be great news for Ireland and the new stadium sponsors if he stays in charge.’

Will Maradona still be in charge of Argentina for their match against Ireland on the 11th August: (William Hill bet): 4-7 Yes, 5-4 No

World Cup Semi Final Previews, World Cup Betting Update and Podcast

Daily World Cup Betting Podcasts, from Racing Diary

A great weekend of Football Betting, but has it been a classic World Cup? Who will contest the final and who will win the World Cup? Plus more news on what went wrong for England in the latest World Cup Betting Podcast.

So Uruguay play Holland and Germany play Spain in the World Cup Semi-Finals. Spain are favourites to win the World Cup, but we think that Germany are the value here. Listen to the thoughts of the team on our Podcast. Liam thinks Uruguay are value to win the World Cup and the 6/1 to beat Holland is good value, but its Germany for me to win the World Cup.

There is no doubt that Germany have been the surprise package at the World Cup but they will surely not find the Spanish defence as benovolent as the English or Argentinian were in Durban on Wednesday evening. Spain are just favourites at 8/5 with Germany 9/5 and the draw 11/5 with Stan James.

Indeed Stan James are betting 12/1 that the Germans score 4 or more goals in the semi-final (90 mins). Spain are the 15/8 favourites to add the World Title to their European success of 2008 when they easily disposed of a German side in transition. Fernando Torres scored the only goal of the game in Vienna two years ago and Spain were much superior on that occasion. Torres has struggled throughout the World Cup and he is likely to be on the bench on Wednesday with Arsenal’s Cesc Fabregas or Athletico Bilboa’s Fernando Llorente introduced to the starting line-up.

Spain are 4/5 to qualify with Germany Even money and that is surely based on reputation rather than what we have witnessed so far in South Africa. It is of course possible that Germany’s attacking style will play into the hands of the Spanish who have been forced to try to break down their defensive-minded opponents in each of their five games in this World Cup to date. Spain will be bidding to become the first nation to win the World Cup having lost their first game in the competition. We haven’t seen the best of La Roja at this tournament although they have done just enough to reach the last four. David Villa is 4/9 to win the Golden Boot and StanJames.com are betting 9/4 that Spain lift the Trophy on Sunday night with Villa top scorer.

Holland are 2/1 with StanJames.com to win Sunday’s World Cup and they ought to have too much for a resilient Uruguay in Cape Town on Tuesday. Uruguay have performed wonders when you consider they are a nation of less than 3 million in reaching the semi-finals and few would have thought they would be the last standing South American country when they drew their first game with France 0-0 last month. Diego Forlan has been a revelation and he is 7/1 to score Tuesday’s opening goal but the Oranje are firm favourites at 4/6 to win in 90 minutes.

Stan James will refund all losing stakes on all goalscorer markets (first/last/anytime/hat-trick/scorecast) if Diego Forlan scores anytime during the 90 minutes on Tuesday and exactly the same with Miroslav Klose on Wednesday evening.

World Cup Betting Update, Quarter Finals

July 1, 2010 By

Diego Maradona has mocked Bastian Schweinsteiger and accused Germany of nerves ahead of Saturday’s World Cup showdown with Argentina. Brazil coach Dunga has dismissed Dutch legend Johan Cruyff‘s damning indictment of his team ahead of their World Cup quarter-final clash with Holland.

World Cup - Brazil 2010

It is Quarter Final day one at the World Cup on Friday, but it is not looking good for England yet again. The odds about Howard Webb reffing the World Cup Final have lengthened dramatically from 5/4 to 15/8 after it was suggested that his absence from the line up of Quarter Final matches was a signal that he would not eve be considered for the Final.

‘Webb has had a fine tournament and was well backed to get the Final but the rumours seem to suggest that doing the Champions League Final has worked against him and that his absence from the Quarters is a significant snub’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Well we now know the World Cup quarter-final line up. Spain and Paraguay are through, but what poor games. The World Cup Betting will be tougher now with the big teams clashing. Who will you be backing in The World Cup? Its Quarter Final World Cup Betting Day one!

So Fridays games are a total contrast, Holland v Brazil looks a cracker whilst Uruguay v Ghana may be a good game but doesn’t have the appeal of the first match of the day. That said the hope of a continent rests with Ghana.

We will see just how good Brazil are, they look like winners for me, but this is a big game. There are some interesting stats about Holland in the Podcast from Araz.

We also talk about England, can we expect better from our players, given what we read in the paper today? Liam has some strong views on the press.

June 29, 2010 By

There are no games at the World Cup now until Friday. Holland and Brazil reached the quarter-finals with good wins on Monday. We have a look at the latest World Cup betting and the possibility of an English presence in the World Cup Final.

England v Holland, Tonight Previewed by William Hill

August 12, 2009 By

William Hill’s team of sport writers look at the friendly between England and Holland tonight, Live on ITV1

England’s progress under Fabio Capello could be set to face its biggest test yet on Wednesday night when the Three Lions face-off against a Netherlands side inspired by the brilliant Arjen Robben and Rafael van der Vaart.

The dominant Dutch became one of the first nations to book their place for the South Africa extravaganza as they romped through their qualification group claiming seven wins in seven games. Led by former Feyenoord manager Bert van Marwijk, Holland have impressively built on a strong Euro 2008 showing and now look great value at 12/1 to land their first World Cup in the summer.



It isn’t difficult to see why they’re excelling either with van der Vaart controlling the middle of the park while the likes of Arjen Robben (9/1 firs goalscorer), Robin van Persie and Klaas-Jan Huntelaar can be relied upon to consistently find the net.  If John Terry and Rio Ferdinand aren’t on top form, and perhaps even if they are, then you have to think that 11/8 about the home win smacks of great value.

And on the other hand the one bet I will be having no part of is an England win at 21/10. The Three Lions, whether under Capello, McLaren or Eriksson, have always tended to purr rather than roar in International friendlies and there is no reason to think this will be any different.

Can England Win against Holland?

Can England Win against Holland?

Infact, when you think that the Premier League season is just days away, it’s always going to be hard to motivate the squad to give their all for what seems a pointless fixture.

Add into this England’s inability to win in the Netherlands since 1969 then you get a sense of the enormity of the task facing them. A bet that may be more attractive for the patriotic punters amongst you could be the 5/1 about Aston Villa’s Ashley Young finding the net within the ninety minutes

I’m expecting massive things from Young this season after another year of tutoring from Martin O’Neill. And while a big money move appears to be a certainty at some point, a good performance here puts him fully in the shop window for the big boys and would hugely increase his chances of becoming a regular starter for Capello.



With Gerrard missing it could be as simple as Young needs to create and he has definitely has the ability to do that in bucket loads. Elsewhere, there is one extra market grabbing my attention, the 8/11 about less than 15 total booking points – meaning less than two bookings. With club managers all over Europe praying their star men don’t get injured ahead of the start of the season, you have to think there will be few robust tackles. I’d be more surprised if there was even a single booking throughout the match – and that’s taking into account Wayne Rooney’s often erratic behaviour.

Punters Backing Fulham and Spurs for Beckham

August 11, 2009 By

PUNTERS BACKING FULHAM & SPURS FOR BECKHAM

- Paddy Power Holland v England Preview -

Fabio Capello’s warning to David Beckham to play in Europe before the end of the season was refreshed punters’ interests in Paddy Power’s betting on David Beckham’s next European club.

Where will Beckham play next?

Where will Beckham play next?

AC Milan remain favourites at 11/10 although Spurs and Fulham have been attracting the most interest. Spurs have leap-frogged Chelsea to become 9/4 second favourites but the bookie has slashed Fulham’s odds from 100/1 to 16/1.

Darren Haines, spokesman for Paddy Power, said;

“Capello’s warning to Beckham makes it a certainty he’ll be coming back to Europe in January to secure a World Cup spot and having bought a home in Chelsea many punters are speculating on the nearby Craven Cottage being a possible destination.”

Holland v England

England are the 2/1 outsiders to win the match with Holland 13/10 favourites and the draw 11/5. A repeat of England’s famous 4-1 win in Euro 96 is 100/1 whilst Wayne Rooney, with ten goals in his last seven England games, is 7/1 for first goal and 20/1 to bag two or more

Meanwhile with Lescott handing in a transfer request at Everton today Paddy Power is speculating on how concentrated the defender’s mind might be on the game in hand. Lescott is 14/1 to score a header against Holland and 50/1 to turn the ball into his own net.
