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.

‘We have never seen a gamble like this before on the date of a General Election and are now looking at a six figure payout if Gordon Brown does as many political insiders are anticipating and goes for an early Election’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Hills now also make 2008 and 2009 2/1 chances to be the year of the next General Election, with 2010 or beyond out to 6/1.

Arsenal are, though, still 2/5 to end the season without a major trophy with Hills, who make them 9/4 to win one;11/2 two; 33/1 three; 750/1 four.

Theo Walcott is 12/1 with Hills to start a game for England this season, before the end of May 2008.

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.

‘Every club starts the season declaring that they are determined to avoid red cards at all costs, and refs confirm that they regard red cards as the last resort - but as soon as the whistle goes all the good intentions seem to go out of the window and players and refs begin to see red regularly, so we have introduced these two books concentraing on sendings-off’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

‘I would imagine that West Ham, who seem to be acquiring a collection of Premiership bad boys might be a popular choice with punters.’

Which club will get the most premiership red cards this season?

4/1 Birmingham;
9/2 Blackburn;
8/1 Bolton;
10/1 Wigan;
12 Fulham;
14 Arsenal, Chelsea, Derby, Sunderland;
16 Man City; West Ham;
20 Everton; Middlesbro; Newcastle;
25 Spurs; Villa;
33 Portsmouth; Reading;
50 Liverpool; Man U

(One quarter 1,2,3 - red card ties decided on number of yellows awarded)

‘One wonders whether the Hammers would be interested in acquiring Anelka,Lehmann and Barton for their line up but the three volatile characters they have acquired seem sure to ensure interesting times at West Ham this season.’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Meanwhile, Hills have opened a book on how many starts the injury-prone Dyer will make in the Premiership for West Ham this season and offer 11/8 23 or more;
6/4 18-22;
23/10 17 or fewer.
 

“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.

“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.
