William Hill have shortened the price of Tonga beating England in Friday’s crucial World Cup match from 7/1 to 6/1, following support for the outsiders with England now offered at 1/12 from 1/16.

Wilkinson is 2/1 to score between eleven and fifteen points and 10/1 to score thirty one or more. “Tonga are a big price considering their performance against South Africa and although the bets coming in on Tonga are not huge, they have been enough to shorten the price,” said Hill’s spokesman Rupert Adams.

Hill’s expect the home nations to struggle from here on in and offer 8/11 that all the home nations are eliminated before the semi finals and have even opened a book on which of the coaches will be the first to leave his job with Wales coach Gareth Jenkins their favourite at 5/4.

Following Gordon Brown’s Party Conference Speech which pointedly failed to mention the date of the next General Election, bookmakers William Hill are still offering odds of 2/1 that it will take place this year.

Hills are also offering 7/1 that he will go to the country this year and lose; and 3/1 that he will go to the country this year - and win.

‘Brown did nothing to dampen the speculation about the date of the General Election and punters are still pouring cash on it being this year, giving us a potential six figure payout should that be the case’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Hills are offering 4/1 that Brown will call an Election on the same day that David Cameron makes his main speech to the Tory Party Conference next week.

Meanwhile, Hills now offer 7/4 that the next Election will be in 2009; 5/2 that it will be in 2008 and 5/1 in 2010 - and they have also slashed the odds that Brown will stay in office longer than Tony Blair managed, from 20/1 to 10/1.

Labour are now 2/5 favourites to win the next General Election with William Hill who make the Tories 7/4 and the Lib Dems 66/1. Hills offer 7/4 that there will be a Hung Parliament.

DAVID MILIBAND HAS been cut by William Hill from 2/1 to 6/4 favourite to succeed Gordon Blair as (permanent) Labour Leader.

IN WHICH YEAR WILL BROWN CEASE TO BE PM?
3/1 2009;
3/1 2013;
5/1 2014;
7/1 2007;
8/1 2008;
10/1 2010; 2012.

David is the red hot 2/7 favourite with bookies William Hill to get the highest eviction percentage and be first to receive the Big Brother Boot on Friday night.

“David is too vocal for his own good and should perhaps have followed Brian’s game plan of coming across as plain thick. David’s stay in the house looks as if it will be short lived,� said Hill’s spokesman Rupert Adams.

Shanessa is the 9/2 second favourite to go, with Tracey offered at 11/2 and Kara-Louise offered at 25/1.

Now that David and Kara-Louise have been confirmed as real housemates, bookmakers William Hill have opened the betting on which of the pair will leave / be evicted from the house and make David the 8/11 favourite to be get the BB boot first with Kara-Louise offered at even money.

Brian is still the favourite to win but Liam is once again second favourite at 5/2, whilst Shanessa and Tracey are out of it at 100/1.

“Kara-Louise should slip under the radar, but you can be sure that David will be a controversial housemate and we are very confident that his stay in house will be a short-lived,� said Hill’s spokesman Rupert Adams.

Bookmakers William Hill have seen only a few bets for the new potential housemates as BB8 becomes a four horse race.

Of the four, Amanda & Chanelle bring up the rear at 10/1, Liam the 4/1 second favourite and Brian the rock solid leader in the market at 4/7.

“If Liam had not already won £100,000 then he would probably be favourite but we expect BB fans to share the spoils and Brian is the one to beat,� said Hill’s spokesman Rupert Adams.

Brian is now the 1/2 favourite favourite to win Big Brother with bookies William Hill and he looks very hard to beat with over 80% of bets placed in the last week for brainless Brian.

Chanelle has been the only mover of the weekend as punters put their pounds on the posh look-alike to win the prize and she is now joint second favourite with Liam at 6/1.

Brian is the one to beat and is the odds-on favourite at 1/2, whilst Ziggy and Tracey look out of it and are quoted at 40/1 & 66/1.

“Big Brother business is fairly slow at the moment, down 33% compared with a similar period last year. Big Brother need to do something as punters seem to be losing interest,” said Hill’s spokesman Rupert Adams.

3/1 for fake evicted contestant to be exempt from next eviction

Hill’s have seen a rush of money for the price that whoever is chosen for the fake eviction will be exempt from the next real eviction and have halved the price from 6/1 to 3/1.

Charley is the red hot 1/12 favourite to win the fake evicted this weekend with Nicky offered at 6/1

“Big Brother is using all means at their disposal to keep Charley in the house and it looks increasingly likely that the producer will ensure that Charley will be exempt from the next real eviction,” said Hill’s spokesman Rupert Adams.

Amir Khan is today quoted at the longest odds he has ever been since turning pro by William Hill to win his latest fight this weekend when he takes on the more experienced Willie Limond.

However, Khan is still a red hot favourite at odds of 1/20 with Hills quoting Limond at 8/1 and the draw at 28/1.

‘This is definitely Amir’s toughest fight yet.

He is taking on an experienced opponent who has lost only once, but punters won’t hear of defeat for the ‘boy wonder’ and the biggest bet we have taken for an upset win by Limond is £15′ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Hills make Kham 9/4 to have to go the distance to win on points, with Limond 20/1 to do likewise while Khan is 4/9 to win by knockout, Limond 14/1.

While Limond is 125/1 to win in any named round from 1- 6 and 100/1 any named round from 7- 12, Hills makee Khan 10/1 to win in any named round from 1 to 6, 12/1 to win in rd 7; 12/1 rd 8; 14/1 rd 9; 14/1 rd 10; 16/1 rd 11; 16/1 rd 12.

In other news MATT SKELTON is now 1/ 4 favourite with William Hill to beat Michael Sprott, offered at 11/4, with the draw at 20/1, in this weekend’s big British heavyweight showdown.

Despite the fact that England play more Twenty20 games that other countries, William Hill rate England as 10/1 outsiders for the Twenty20 World Cup and with thrills and spills expected Hill’s offer 8/1 for a Trescothick hundred, 10/1 for an England Hat-Trick and 200/1 that an England player scores 36 runs in an over.

“Twenty20 cricket is very difficult to call but considering the amount of Twenty20 played in the domestic game you would expect England to be popular at 10/1,� said Hill’s spokesman Rupert Adams.
