JAVIER HERNANDEZ BETTING ODDS

Javier Hernandez scored another late winner for Manchester United last night as they progressed to the quarter-finals of the Carling Cup. In the aftermath of the game manager Sir Alex Ferguson was keen to heap the plaudits on the young Mexican striker saying "They tend to build heroes quickly here but he's justifying the praise at the moment."
Hernandez has stepped up to the plate in recent weeks and taken full advantage of the furore surrounding teammate Wayne Rooney. On current form Ferguson will face a real dilemma when Rooney returns to full fitness in a few weeks time.
The bookmakers are having their say on the situation and in fact favour the Englishman to restore his superiority over the course of the season. William Hill make Chicharito a 7/4 chance to out-score Rooney in all competitions for United this season with the England man at 8/15. With Hernandez already holding a 5-1 advantage the best bet here looks to be to side with the new Old Trafford hero.
In X-Factor betting the bookmakers have been forced to slash the odds on 54-year-old contestant Wagner. The Brazilian singer is the subject of a Facebook campaign by the same people that successfully battled to get Rage Against the Machine to the Christmas number one spot ahead of Joe McElderry last year.
Bookmaker Coral are now running for the hills and make the former lion tamer a 16/1 shot to win the show, although they also make him the 9/4 second favourite to be eliminated this week. Simon Cowell will be quaking at the thought of a novelty act winning this year’s show; an outcome which would surely signal the end of the shows credibility.
