Here are some novelty bets on England's next World Cup game. They're interesting, if not overly enticing!
COLE, ROONEY AND TERRY SPECIAL WITH VICTOR CHANDLER
As the tension mounts in the lead up to the England v Slovenia match, Victor Chandler have opened a market on Joe Cole being England’s hero on Wednesday. The firm go 16/1 that Joe Cole starts the match, scores a goal and then bags the FIFA Man of the Match award.
“The English public has made it quite clear that they would like to see Joe Cole in the line up.” said VC spokesman Neal Wilkins. “And let’s face it England need a hero at the moment and Joe could be the man.”
VC also have a number of markets which might interest those who feel that England will struggle to qualify on Wednesday afternoon. They make it a 20/1 chance that any England players square up in an on-field bust up and 4/1 that a player shows dissent to Fabio Capello when he is substituted. It’s a 5/1 shot that John Terry gets substituted and 11/4 that Wayne Rooney returns to the bench.
Any England players to have an on-field bust up with one another 20/1
Any England player to show dissent when substituted 4/1
Joe Cole to start, score and win FIFA Man of the Match 16/1
John Terry to be substituted against Slovenia 5/1
Wayne Rooney to be substituted against Slovenia 11/4

Gianfranco Zola to stay at West Ham
Here's some latest markets in the English Premier League. The 40% return for Zola could be worth taking, but as regular followers of this blog will know, we rarely advise that people take any odds under $1.50.
THE STAR OF DAVIDS?
Victor Chandler make it a 2/5 shot that Gianfranco Zola is still the West Ham manager on June 1st after David Sullivan and David Gold gave the Italian their backing as they took over the East End club today. The firm go 7/4 that he gets the bullet.
“It’s a well worn joke that when the chairman gives a manager his backing it means the exact opposite, but we feel that the two David’s are sincere in their wish to see Zola succeed at Upton Park.” said VC spokesman Neal Wilkins.
“That said Zola still has to do the business on the park, and if the Hammers don’t start climbing the table soon then Gold and Sullivan might have no option but to change things.”
The firm also make it a 5/6 shot that the Hammers get over 20.5 Premier League points from now until the end of the season, and the same price that they don’t manage that points tally.

Brian Laws at 9/1 to leave
Wigan to concede the most goals seems like value. Here's the latest press release from Victor Chandler:
Victor Chandler have installed Brian Laws at 9/1 to be the next Premier League manager to leave his post, and just 5/2 that they finish bottom this season after he was given the nod as Burnley’s new boss, and the firm admit that it was an appointment that took them by surprise.
“This seems a bizarre selection and we fear for the club during the rest of the season.” said VC spokesman Dave Jenkins.
“It seems that everything that Coyle had built up could collapse and we really feel they’ll struggle to adapt. Laws is not renowned for his passing football. I hope the Clarets fans have their neck braces ready because it won’t be pretty from now on. This could well end in tears.”
The firm also make Burnley the 7/4 favourites now to concede the most goals this season. They have conceded 40 goals so far closely followed in the betting by Hull City (42) at 2/1 and by Wigan (44) at 5/2.

Football tip: Get on Manchester City
If you're looking for a longer term investment, Manchester City is a fantastic bet.
A great win at the weekend might mean they're finally putting early-season criticism behind them to produce the results everybody was expecting.
Yes, it does take time for a team to gel. It might just be starting to happen, and with 8.5 points start, it's a great bet.
I'm not as convinced about Everton or Tottenham.
Victor Chandler have opened up several season handicap match bets featuring some old city rivals in the Premier League. They have matched up Man United with Man City, Liverpool with Everton and Arsenal with Tottenham. VC’s spokesman Neal Wilkins thinks that the underdogs in the bets will be the most popular.
“We suspect that we’ll be laying Man City, Everton and Tottenham. City look quite menacing at the moment whereas United seem to be floundering a bit, Everton are slowly getting their act together and Tottenham look like they are only going to improve as the season goes on.”
Man City are getting a handicap of +8.5 points over United, Everton are getting +19.5 points against their city rivals, and Tottenham receive +11.5 against their arch enemies.

Premier League goal scores
If someone said at the beginning of the season that they'd give you better than even money on Chelsea scoring most goals this season - oh, and they'd give you eight goals head start - you'd probably take it.
The same scenario exists now, and we're well into the season. I intentionally don't edit many press releases, so here's the latest from Victor Chandler:
Man City are now 7/1 to be the Premier League highest scorers with Victor Chandler after bagging four goals in last night’s convincing victory over Blackburn. City have now hit the net 42 times in the Premier League so far this season, but are still some way behind the leaders Arsenal who have netted 53.
“The Gunners are clear favourites with 53 goals, but the pack are quite capable of mounting a challenge.” said VC spokesman Neal Wilkins. “It only takes a couple of big wins and the whole complexion changes.”
Man United are currently in second place with 46 goals, closely followed by Chelsea on 45. Man City and Tottenham are next best on 42, with Liverpool on 37.
Who will score the most goals in the Premier League this season
Arsenal (53) 11/8
Chelsea (45) 7/4
Man United (46) 2/1
Man City (42) 7/1
Tottenham (42) 10/1
Liverpool (37) 16/1

How will Darren Ferguson hold up?
Neal, quoted below, is our guest tipster this weekend. He's actively promoting new markets for Victor Chandler. And given there's no racing, all attention is being put on the football.
This is their latest release:
Victor Chandler have opened a market on whether Darren Ferguson will gain more Championship points than Alan Irvine. They make Ferguson a 4/6 chance to out score his fellow manager at Sheffield Wednesday in the remaining 23 matches of the season. Irvine is the outsider at 11/10.
“It will be interesting to see how the two men fare in the rest of the season.” said VC spokesman Neal Wilkins. “Both have 23 matches left with a total of 69 points up for grabs, and we suspect that it’ll be close.”
Preston fired Alan Irvine and replaced him with Darren Ferguson, whereas Irvine soon picked up the vacant managers position at Sheffield Wednesday, and both managers will be desperate to push their new clubs up the league.
Darren Ferguson v Alan Irvine: Who will win most Championship points?
Darren Ferguson 4/6
Alan Irvine 11/10
Points gained just from remaining 23 matches from 09/01/10 to end of season.

Free Friday Guest Tipster is Neal Wilkins
It was minus 5 degrees from where Neal Wilkins gave me a call earlier this week.
Neal regularly appears on Sky channels in the UK, along with Racing UK, and has a wealth of contacts in the racing industry there having been on the racecourse for more than 40 years.
For the past 10 years he has been PR manager for international bookmakers Victor Chandler which means he's well across all sports.
Given that there's no racing, his tips will be confined to the football. To make it a bit more exciting for us, he's concentrated on the televised games.
Tip 1: It's top versus bottom in Saturday's 12.45pm (UK time) kick off when Chelsea look sure to justify odds of 4/11 against struggling Hull who are on offer at 7/1 with Victor Chandler despite enjoying home advantage.
Tip 2: On Sunday I believe West Ham will build on their spirited Cup performance against Arsenal last Sunday and reward backers at 4/5 in their home match to Wolves who have only scored 8 goals on their travels this season.
Tip 3: Finally, the draw at 5/2 looks the call when Liverpool entertain a resurgent Spurs at An field. Liverpool have been far from convincing this season and look vulnerable at set pieces.
As we did last year, we'll be taking our guest tips in full faith. But given it's the first week of the year, and that we cashed out for Christmas, we'll start from scratch with a token $100 account.
We'll all up 10% on Neal's first two tips, Chelsea into West Ham. That would return about 3/2 ($2.50)
And we'll put 10% on the draw at An field.
Good luck!

Mike Phelan seems set to take over at Burnley FC
When the market was first opened by Victor Chandler on Tuesday, I said it would be nice to have some inside information.
Given the odds movement over the past 24 hours, it seems somebody does, as Mike Phelan has firmed considerably to be employed full time at Burnley FC.
Here's the latest from Victory Chandler:
Victor Chandler have seen significant money for Mike Phelan to be the next permanent manager of Burnley FC.
Manchester United assistant manager, Phelan, was available at 10/1 before being backed into 5/1 and is now just 2/1 to take reins at Turf Moor. Hibernian Manager, John Hughes, has also seen significant interest and has been trimmed from 20/1 to current price 8/1.
Victor Chandler spokesman Neal Wilkins commented “Nearly a;; of the money is coming for Sir Alex’s right-hand man. Usually when that happens there’s a good reason and it seems unlikely it’s based solely on Phelan’s playing history at Burnley! ”
Next Permanent Burnley Manager
Mike Phelan 2/1
Steve Coppell 7/2
Steve Davis 4/1
Paul Jewell 7/1
John Hughes 8/1
Alan Curbishley 8/1

Dave Jones 12/1

Who will score the most goals in the Premier League?
This is the latest release from Victor Chandler in the UK. Tottenham has to be value?
Victor Chandler have opened a market on who’ll score the most goals in the Premier League this season.

“We are making Chelsea the slight favourites but it’s difficult to call.” said VC Spokesman Neal Wilkins.
“Losing Van Persie is a big blow for Arsenal, but Chelsea will also lose players to the African Nations Cup so they might not be so prolific as they have been. That said it’s difficult to see anyone getting close to these two over the season.”
Man United are next in the betting at 5/1 with Liverpool on 10’s and Tottenham on 14’s. United have scored 30 goals so far, Liverpool are on 31 and Tottenham have netted a total of 33.
