100/1 RYAN GIGGS EXTENDS CURSE OF SPORTS PERSONALITY FAVOURITE…….

ONE William Hill punter lost £24,500 and another £5000 in bets on odds on favourite Jenson Button who became the fourth consecutive beaten favourite, as Ryan Giggs, originally a 100/1 shot, won the BBC TV Sports Personality of the Year Award.
‘There was a massive gamble on Ryan Giggs winning which saw his odds slashed from 100/1 to 5/2 second favourite – and cost bookies a small fortune’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
WAYNE ROONEY has been installed 6/1 joint favourite by William Hill along with Andy Murray and Lewis Hamilton to win the 2010 BBC TV Sports Personality of the Year Award. ‘If England even go close to winning the World Cup it will almost certainly be a footballer who wins the Award next year’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills also offer 8/1 David Beckham; 12/1 David Haye; Jenson Button; 25/1 Lee Westwood; 33/1 Amir Khan; 40/1 Ricky Hatton; 50/1 Mark Cavendish and Bradley Wiggins.

67 Year Old Scores £500 Winner

67 YEAR OLD FOOTBALLER SCORES £500 WINNER
AMATEUR FOOTBALLER John O’Brien had always been proud of his record of having scored goals for his club in five consecutive decades up to and including the 1990s, but it looked as though the ‘noughties’ would end without John adding that vital sixth decade goal to his record – until he set up a bet that he could do it.
At the start of the 2009/10 season, John, a retired city trader, from Ewell in Surrey, by now 67 years old, contacted bookies William Hill to ask them to accept a bet of £20 at odds of 25/1 on his behalf, that he would manage to grab the vital goal before the end of the calendar year 2009, but he had failed to do so until he lined up on Sunday, December 13, for Old Salesians Veterans against National Physical Laboratories.
Playing in the back four, John suddenly spotted a goalscoring opportunity during the second half as the opposition keeper missed a cross from the wing, which dropped over his head, and at John’s feet – enabling him to crash the ball home from barely a yard out – winning him £500 and setting a possible all-time football record of scoring in six consecutive decades for the same club. To add to John’s delight, Old Salesians went on to win the match 5-3.
‘We take thousands of off-beat football bets every season but I believe this is a unique achievement by John, who fully deserves his £500 winnings, which, incredibly, he is donating to club funds – apart from enough to take his wife (who actually placed the bet for him to avoid John contravening FA rules on betting) out for a slap-up meal. I expect he’ll also want to arrange another bet that he can score in the next decade, too, but we might not be so generous this time. I suspect he might end up in the Guinness Book of World Records as a result of this feat!’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WHEN WILL CHELSEA WIN AGAIN?

WITH CHELSEA going through what constitutes a slump for them, with no victory in their last three matches, William Hill, who now make them 15/8 to end the season without winning one of the ‘big four trophies’, have opened a book on when they will win again, and make them 2/9 to do so this weekend when they meet Everton at Stamford Bridge.

‘Should they to win what looks to be a ‘gimme’ then the critics will really begin to be heard’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

HILLS…When will Chelsea next win?
Everton (H) 2/9
Portsmouth(H) 7/2
West Ham (A) 25/1
None Of These 40/1

UNITED DO UNITED FAN A FAVOUR!

A MANCHESTER- BASED WILLIAM HILL internet client whose £850 accumulator bet depended on his favourite team, Manchester United, beating Wolfsburg on Tuesday night, collected £104,880.67 after Michael Owen’s hat trick landed their victory at odds of 11/4, to add to three other Champions League winners – Bordeaux at 9/4; Real Madrid 5/4 and Porto 7/2. ‘This is the biggest payout we’ve made to a single client on the Champions League so far this season – and hopefully will remain so!’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Roy Keane 8/1 To Be Next Republic Boss

Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Replay odds slashed from 100/1 to 10/1:
YOU BET KEANE BLAST COULD BE JOB APPLICATION!

PUNTERS believe that Roy Keane’s blast at the Republic for failing to qualify for the World Cup may lead to him being invited to manage the team himself and have cut their odds about him becoming their next manager from 10/1 to 8/1. ‘Keane is obviously a very high profile character and it may just be that by saying what he did he was actually putting himself in the frame to take the side over when Trapattoni stands down- although he probably needs to improve his record at Ipswich first!’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
HILLS HAVE SLASHED THE ODDS ABOUT THE FRANCE-IRELAND GAME BEING REPLAYED FROM 100/1 TO 10/1. ‘Despite FIFA’s insistence that the game will not be replayed, punters are determined to bet that it will, and we have taken hundreds of bets, average size between £10 and £20, that it will happen.’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Gerrard And Rooney Odds On To Recover For Clubs As Platt Backed For County

Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

ROONEY AND GERRARD ODDS ON TO MAKE MIRACLE RECOVERIES

WILLIAM HILL have opened a book on whether either Steven Gerrard and/or Wayne Rooney will play any part in their clubs’ Premiership matches at the weekend. Hills offer 8/1 that NEITHER will play any part; 5/4 that either ONE of them will play some part, and 8/11 that BOTH will play some part in the matches at home to Bolton (Man U) and away to Sunderland (Liverpool).
‘Both Rooney and Gerrard seem to be quick healers and we think there is every chance that both will be in action at the weekend’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

NOTT PLATT?

THE LARGEST bet William Hill have taken so far on the identity of the next Notts County manager is for David Platt, on whom one punter has risked £100 and who is currently 4/1 second favourite. ‘There are reports that such and such a candidate has ruled himself in or out and so and so is not being considered, but experience has told us that in these markets money is better informed than rumours’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills now make Roberto Mancini 7/2 favourite to get the job and also offer 4/1 Platt; Peter Taylor; 7 Coppell; 9 Dowie; 10 Curbishley; 16 Sven; Keegan; O’Leary; 20 Strachan.

Hart Still In Pomp As Ton Up County Head For Title ?

Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

HART STILL IN HIS POMP – BUT FOR HOW LONG?

WITH THE Portsmouth takeover situation beginning to become a little clearer, William Hill have seen a flurry of support for Pompey boss Paul Hart to be the first manager to lose his job in the Premiership this season, and have cut his odds from 4/1 to 7/4 favourite.
‘Bets of £300 and £400 have gone on Hart to be the first out since the takeover appeared to have gone through, and some punters clearly believe that new owner means imminent new manager’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills make Phil Brown 3/1 second favourite to go first and also offer 5/1 Rafa Benitez; 10 Alex McLeish and Gary Megson; 11 David Moyes; 14 Mark Hughes; Gianfranco Zola; 20 Martin O’Neill.

NOTTS A TON-UP CERTAINTY?

A WILLIAM HILL punter from Shrewbury has staked £750 at odds of 10/1 on Notts County to amass 100 points and 100 goals in League Two this season.’County have been flying in most of their early matches, but the defeat by Chesterfield suggests that it may not be plain sailing all the way this season’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘However, this bet is typical of the interest we have been seeing for Sven’s side to canter to the title’.
Hills make County 11/10 favourites to win League Two, with Rotherham at 8/1; Bournemouth 12/1; Chesterfield and Crewe both 14/1.

Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

RAFA BENITEZ has been the subject of a gamble concentrated in the Kent and Bristol areas to be the first Premiership manager to leave his club this season, with William Hill slashing his odds from 20/1 to 11/2 third favourite.
‘We have seen a string of punters asking for bets of up to £300 a time for Benitez to be the first boss to go’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘I’m not sure whether Rafa has friends or family in Bristol and, or, Kent, but you can’t take chances in markets like this. We have cut his odds several times but are still seeing interest even at 11/2’.
HILLS CURRENTLY OFFER 2/5 THAT BENITEZ WILL STILL BE LIVERPOOL BOSS ON THE LAST DAY OF THE SEASON, 7/4 THAT HE WILL NOT.
William Hill: First Prem boss to go: 11/4 Phil Brown; 9/2 Paul Hart; 11/2 Benitez; 6/1 McLeish; 15/2 Zola; 8 Hughes; 12 Megson; 20 Martinez.

‘WIN £2m WITH WILLIAM HILL’ : BOOKIES WELCOME NEW SEASON WITH RECORD PAYOUT OFFER

SINCE THE DECLINE of the football pools’ jackpots, it has not been possible to win more than £1million by betting on football matches – until now, as bookmakers William Hill have announced that they are raising their payout limit to £2million – the highest of any bookmaker – from the start of the new Premiership season.

‘Football betting has never been more popular and we feel the time is right to offer punters the opportunity of winning a life-changing amount of money by pitting their knowledge of the game against that of our odds compilers. So we have doubled our current £1 maximum winnings from this week. This concession is expected to encourage punters to include more matches in their accumulators in order to ratchet up their potential winnings, and it can only be a matter of time until someone becomes British bookmaking’s first ever double millionaire.’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Hills have even opened a book on when they will pay out on their first £2million winning football bet, offering 5/1 during the current season; 10/1 during the World Cup Finals 2010; 4/1 next season; 8/13 in 2011/12 or later.

**In 2001 Hills paid Staffordshire roofer Mick Gibbs £500,000 for a 30p accumulator ending with Bayern Munich’s victory over Manchester United in the European Cup Final. He was a United fan.

**In 1998 London Financier Galen Moore collected £760,000 from Hills after backing West Ham and Charlton to win the ‘handicaps’ in their respective divisions.

Please Note>>>>>>£2m Limit applies to Grade One matches/trophies played in following competitions: English Premiership;SPL; English Championship; League One; League Two; Blue Square Premier; Scottish 1,2 3.
