JOHN TERRY CONTROVERSY LATEST BETTING ODDS

Top UK bookmaker William Hill is the latest to release odds on the rapidly-unfolding John Terry mess and, from what I can gauge from the betting markets, it appears as though John Terry could weather the storm and remain as England’s national team captain.
This comes on the heels of rumours over the weekend that declared Terry was facing a dressing-room revolt at Chelsea over his transgressions against a former team-mate, as well as a really negative vibe on the England team. Wayne Bridge has gone so far as to declare that he will not accept an England call-up if Terry is captaining the side. Who can blame him?
John Terry is odds-on to be named England captain for their forthcoming match with Egypt on March 3. You’ll find him listed at 8/13 to be playing as captain and 6/5 should he not be.
If you’re looking for a shorter-term bet, you can get 10/1 odds that John Terry will resign the England captaincy before today’s match with Hull. Somehow, I don’t see this happening and if he was actually going to do this, we would probably know about this already. Steer clear of this bet, obviously.
Paddy Power is offering up odds on the size of John Terry’s divorce settlement. The favourite price seems to be in the £2,000,000-£4,000,000 range and that trades at 6/4. £4,100,000-£6,000,000 is just behind that at 7/4 while less than £2,000,000 will reward at a 5/2 price. Should his wife receive £10,000,000 or more then you’re looking at a massive 20/1 payday.
You can also bet on an endless stream of Tiger Woods-style affairs for John Terry at Paddy Power. Should this remain the only affair controversy for Terry, then you’re getting a solid 7/2. Two affairs (this already being counted as one) trades at 8/1 while three is a more likely outcome at 6/1. Four affairs trades at 9/2 while five of them is back down to 7/2. Six or more affairs linked to John Terry pays a 5/4 margin.
