Bookies Hail Gunners’ Multi Million Mix Up As Arsenal Odds On To Win Zilch – Again.

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

Arsenal odds-on to win nothing – again!
BOOKIES HAIL ARSENAL’S MULTI MILLION MIX-UP

THE Arsenal defensive mix-up which cost them the Carling Cup was worth £10 million to bookies. ‘We faced a seven figure payout had Arsenal gone on to win the Quadruple and as much again had they lifted the Carling Cup itself, so that defensive mix-up was a £10million bonus for the bookmaking industry’ said William Hill spokesman Graham Sharpe.’Punters had plunged cash on Arsenal as though defeat was out of the question – but Alex McLeish – and Ben Foster – found the answer.’
AND HILLS NOW MAKE ARSENAL ODDS ON TO ENDURE YET ANOTHER SEASON WITH NO TROPHIES. Hills offer 8/15 that the Gunners will finish the season trophy-less once more, but quote them at 80/1 to win the three remaining trophies they are contesting.
ARSENE WENGER is 9/1 with Hills to cease to be Arsenal manager by the first day of next season, but 1/25 to remain in place. ‘Just how long will the Arsenal fans remain loyal to Arsene Wenger if his trophy-less run continues’ asked Hill’s spokesman Sharpe.

However, Hills are also offer 11/10 that Blackburn will sign no one at all for money, or no more than £500,000; 10/1 that they spend between £500,001 – £1m; 9/2 Over £1m – £3m; 7/1 Over £3m – £5m.

Martin Jol Favourite To Succeed Big Sam !

JOL-Y GOOD TIMING FOR MARTIN TO ROVE TO BLACKBURN?

WILLIAM HILL report early backing for Martin Jol from 10/1 to 4/1 favourite to succeed Sam Allardyce at Blackburn, following Hill’s hammering by punters who appeared to have got early knowledge of Allardyce’s imminent departure: ‘We saw a sustained gamble on Big Sam to depart from mid afternoon at which point he was a 33/1 shot to be the next boss to go. We saw bets of up to £500 a time and the largest concentration of bets was placed by punters from and in and around the South West London area.’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. ‘Big Sam had been backed down to Evens to be the next manager to depart minutes before it was confirmed he had gone. It is too much of a coincidence for that to have been a genuinely inspired gamble – but that’s the risk you take by pricing up markets of this nature and despite a hefty five figure thumping we’re coming back for more by making Avram Grant odds-on favourite to be the NEXT to go’

Big Same Set To Leave Blackburn ? Punters Bet He Is .

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

YOU BET ALLARDYCE SET TO JOIN HAMMERS!

BOOKMAKERS WILLIAM HILL have seen a run of three figure bets for Sam Allardyce to be the next Premier League manager to leave his job and have slashed his odds from 33/1 to 3/1. ‘We have seen a string of bets of between £100 and £200 a time – most of them struck by people opening accounts purely to place the bets. At the same time some of them are also backing Avram Grant to be the next boss to go – leading us to the conclusion that they have reason to believe Allardyce may be set to take over at West Ham – or Avram Grant at Blackburn!’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WILLIAM HILL….NEXT PREM BOSS TO GO…Evens Avram Grant; 3/1 Sam Allardyce; 4/1 Roy Hodgson. Others on request.

We are offering odds of 2601/1 for him to get them all right ‘ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’Mr Cameron has a bit of previous punting form, too – tipping a couple of horses when he was on the BBC Radio 4 Today programme recently.Perhaps he has plans to become a professional gambler when he ceases to be PM – although we make him a 5/2 chance still to be PM when the 2018 World Cup finals kick off.’
(Please note – odds subject to amendment if one or more games poostponed.)

MR CAMERON’S PREMIER LEAGUE TIPS……ARSENAL to beat Fulham; SPURS to win at Birmingham; WOLVES to win at Blackburn; CHELSEA to beat Everton; VILLA (Mr Cameron’s favourite team) to win at Liverpool; MAN CITY to defeat Bolton; SUNDERLAND to beat West Ham; WBA and NEWCASTLE to draw; WIGAN to defeat Stoke.
