    I want to place a bet on Kyle Naughton, a Sheffield United Player, getting called into the next England U-21 squad but i can't find any odds for it anywhere. Are there any bookmakers that would give me odds on this bet or does anyone have any suggestions on what I should do?

    Email Paddy Power and ask. Doubt they will give you a price though.

    imho,and i am not in the trade, and never have been, it's just too specific a bet for any bookmaker to consider. You are likely to be the only person to bet on this market, it smacks of insider information and the cost/benefit on doing research on same is nil. Best of luck though if you email them, it can't hurt and let us know how you get on.

    The only difference with those 2 bets and the OP's is they were aged 11 and 15. I'm assuming this footballer is 19/20?

    Id email all the big bookmakers anyway to see what they say, you never know.

    Best of Luck

    If you were a regular punter in a pacific bookies, I can't see why a bookmaker wouldn't give you odds.

    It would be classed something of a novelty bet.

    The North Atlantic bookmakers don't seem to be as generous though.
