Beckham Odds On For Century Of Caps After England Draw With Brazil

Following his England comeback, David Beckham is quoted at 1/ 4 by William Hill to reach his century of caps and 11/4 not to - he currently has 96.

But William Hills were relieved that the former skipper didn't score against Brazil, as they had taken hundreds of bets at odds of 8/1 that he would do so, doubled up with Frankie Dettori winning the Derby on Saturday."Beckham failing to score has saved us hundreds of thousands of pounds" said relieved William Hill's spokesman Graham Sharpe.

They have now closed their book on Beckham starting against Estonia - and offer 11/4 that Steve McClaren will start the same eleven players as started against Brazil for that game - 1/ 4 that he does not.

England are 1/ 4 to win in Estonia, 9/1 to lose and 7/2 to draw with Hills who make them 4/7 to qualify for the Euro 08 Finals and 11/4 to win their Group. They are 8/1 to win the tournament.
