FIFA World Cup 2010 Betting – Michael Owen May Become a Factor for Capello

Posted under Casino News by admin on December 6, 2009 9:20 am ||

Bookie Paddy Power has cut the odds for Michael Owen to make it to South Africa as part of Fabio Capello’s England squad next year. Following his Champions League hat-trick last night against Wolfsburg the Manchester United striker is now 2/1 from 10/3 to be part of English World Cup Squad.

However the bookmaker also offers a true reality check to the Owen bandwagon with seven other strikers all at shorter betting odds to be part of the team than Manchester United’s number seven.

Darren Haines, spokesman for Paddy Power, said: “It was a great night for Owen, obviously his best yet in a United shirt, but we still think he has a lot more work to do to convince a doubting Fabio of his worth and climb the England striker pecking order.”

Barring injury Wayne Rooney is a shoo-in for the squad at betting odds of just 1/100 with Jermain Defoe also looking a certainty at 1/14. Owen’s likely rivals for a spot in the 23 could come from the likes of Carlton Cole, Gabby Agbonlahor – both 6/4 – and Darren Bent at odds of 7/4.

Owen is also on offer at odds of 28/1 to be England’s top scorer in South Africa, with Wayne Rooney again heading the market at 13/8.

Following the multi-million dollar hit on the Gold Mega progressive jackpot over the weekend, Party Gaming have released more details. The winner of the $4,978,336.62 jackpot – the largest yet awarded by Party Casino – lives in Germany, uses the handle ‘Gamago’ and is a member of the online casino’s VIP club, the Palladium Lounge.

Gamago told Party Casino staffers: “I was so shocked when I won the jackpot and the news still really hasn’t sunk in! I have to say I had my eye on the big jackpot but I really don’t play aiming for them, I play for fun.

“I have won $50,000 and $100,000 jackpots before but nothing on this scale. It is unbelievable that one spin has given me nearly $5 million!”

The fateful spin came at 20.42ET on December 2nd. The stake was $45 on popular Party Casino Gold Mega Jackpot game, the Mega Fortune Wheel. The screen exploded with congratulations and colour as ‘gamago’ turned $45 into a fortune.

The lucky player has no real view on what he is going to be doing with this record windfall. “To be honest, I don’t have any plans on what I am going to do with the money as yet,” he said.

Party Casino now offers over 130 games, including 93 slots, and pays out over $10 million daily to players, according to a statement from the company.
