The 2010 World Cup in South Africa is fast approaching, and the William Hill sportsbook is taking bets on every possible scenario. Spain remains the outright favorite for the tournament, at 4/1, trailed by Brazil, 5/1, England, 11/2, and Argentina, 7/1. First Round's First But it is the betting on the group stages that we recommend taking a look at, with the first round of the tournament reduced to eight groups of four, and every team in with a chance of winning their group or qualifying in the first two positions. The "group of death" at World Cup 2010 is Group G, featuring five-time world champions Brazil and modern day powerhouses Portugal and the Ivory Coast, as well as North Korea. Brazil is 4/7 to win the group, although we think Portugal at 10/3 and Ivory Coast at 7/2 are both good value to win the group. In qualification odds, Brazil is 1/7, Portugal is 4/6, Ivory Coast, 8/11 and North Korea considered highly unlikely at 12/1. The other group to watch is the C, featuring Germany, Serbia, Ghana and Australia, all reasonably strong teams. Germany is unsurprisingly the group favorite at 5/6, but Serbia, 10/3, Ghana, 4/1 and Australia, 7/1, are all considered chances of taking top spot. Ghana at 5/4 to qualify in the top two spots is good value, with the African teams set for a strong showing in the first World Cup on the continent. The tournament begins on June 11.

Good Morning America co-host George Stephanopoulos is set to thrill millions of poker fans across the United States when he plays poker as part of a segment on dream adventures. Stephanopoulos, who was once an adviser to former US president Bill Clinton, will face off against several poker pros, including Phil Hellmuth and Jason Lee for a segment airing on the ABC morning show on Wednesday, May 5. This could be viewed as yet another step poker is making into the mainstream, showcasing on the media, especially whilst a heated debate for and against legalizing online poker and online gambling in general is taking place in the US. The contest will be commentated by Ali Nejad, the announcer from NBC's Poker After Dark. The special segment, "Living the dream," is being aired all week from May 3-7, and follows the GMA anchors as they live out their dreams in various locations around the United States. Stephanopoulos, who has been trained by poker professional Annie Duke to prepare for the show, nominated his dream of going to Atlantic City. "I want to go back and win the poker games I lost in high school," Stephanopoulos said, adding that he "used to play a lot but I've got kids now, got a life."
The winner of the this season's English Premier League will be decided on the last day of the season - although Chelsea is in the box seat to edge out arch-rival Manchester United. The chances of the Red Devils claiming a fourth successive title and 12th in 18 years rest in the hands of 15th place Wigan, who have won away from home just three times this season. The scenario is simple. Chelsea - one point ahead of Manchester United but with a far superior goal difference - would have to lose at home to Wigan on Sunday, while Manchester United would also have to win its home fixture with Stoke City, for the title to head back to Manchester. Unsurprisingly, the sportsbooks have Chelsea odds on to win the premiership, with the Blues 1/12 at William Hill, against United's 6/1 odds. Ladbrokes is offering 7/1 on United to work a miracle. The battle for the fourth and final UEFA Champions League spot is just as intense and far more undecided, with William Hill offering 4/5 on Tottenham and 10/11 on Manchester City. Tottenham, with a one point advantage but inferior goal difference, plays away to 19th place and soon-to-be-relegated Burnley, while Man City travels to 17th place West Ham, who have certainly avoided relegation. In the Champions League final, to be played May 22 in Madrid, Inter Milan holds sway in the early betting over Bayern Munich. Inter is a 4/7 Ladbrokes favorite, ahead of Bayern, 13/10. We'll provide more details on the odds for that match as the big game approaches.

Prime Minister Gordon Brown is fighting for his political life in the 2010 May 6th General Election. Many in the UK are suspecting that a hung parliament may well be on the cards and in the words of many Brits, the situation can best be described as ‘dodgy.' Fortunately, various leading sportsbooks are less ambiguous when it comes to the odds they are providing for political betting folks. According to the latest odds put forth by popular sportsbooks in William Hill and Ladbrokes, the UK election odds have taken on the following texture: Conservatives have odds of 1/20 Labour has odds of 8/1 Liberal Democrats have odds of 40/1 At the same time the odds of a Conservative overall majority are 5/4, while odds of a Labour majority have temporarily been suspended. Liberal Democrats are certainly not expected to win an outright majority with odds of 66/1. An interesting situation crops up when the issue of a Hung Parliament is raised - the odds of that occurring are 4/6. Times and numbers - big bucks are riding on it Ladbrokes is betting 8/11 that the election results will be ready before 23h00 tonight. And the odds of a genuine result after 23h00 are sitting at even-Stevens. When it comes to the physical numbers of Conservative seats, there are lots of interesting odds on offer: Under 100 seats provides odds of 100/1 100-124 seats with odds of 150/1 200-224 seats provides odds of 50/1 275-299 seats provide competitive odds of 7/2 300-349 seats provide odds of 2/1 Labour's seat totals are looking equally competitive: If Labour scores 0-9 seats the odds are 200/1 If Labour scores 50-59 seats the odds are 14/1 If Labour scores 90-99 seats the odds are 4/1 The odds for the smaller political parties work along similar lines with higher seat totals being commensurate with higher odds. The list of other parties includes: SNP seats, Scottish Conservative seats and Plaid Cymru seats. Most sportsbooks agree that Conservatives should score the most votes with odds of 1/25 (Ladbrokes), Labour at 16/1 and Liberal Democrats 12/1. William Hill is offering 8/15 odds that Gordon Brown will quit altogether by Saturday..
