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

DAVID CAMERON TO TIP 25,000/1 WINNER?

AFTER his disappointment over the World Cup bid, David Cameron could be consoled by a 25,000/1 winning bet after he tipped the outcome of all ten Premier League matches this weekend, which would win anyone betting on an accumulator including all of his tips £25,000 for £1.
‘Mr Cameron has turned football tipster and punters are sure to want to back his selections this weekend – if he gets all ten outcomes right he could win back the cost of the World Cup bid from us! We are offering odds of 25,000/1 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; BLACKPOOL to beat Man U; 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.

WHAT A GLOVELY BET!

WITH BOSS Ian Holloway revealing his dislike of the trend for players to wear gloves, William Hill have opened a book on how many of his players will turn out for kick off of their game with Manchester United this weekend sporting the hand-wear. ‘Ian is unashamedly old-scholl and he is no fan of players wearing gloves – but we reckon a few of his players may defy their boss and wear them for the United game’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

England 10/1 To Host 2030 World Cup

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

England now 10/1 to host 2030 World Cup……..£3 billion mega-gamble at 2018 World Cup?
THEY WILL NOT HOST IT, BUT YOU CAN BET ENGLAND WILL GO INTO 2018 WORLD CUP FINALS WITH STUART PEARCE AS BOSS, JACK WILSHERE AS SKIPPER, AND DAVID CAMERON AS PRIME MINISTER!!

DESPITE ENGLAND NOT HOSTING the 2018 World Cup, bookmakers William Hill are predicting that the tournament could produce the biggest betting turnover ever for a major sporting event of up to £3billion- and England are 14/1 with Hills to win it.
‘Each World Cup ALWAYS produces the biggest betting event so far, but with the tournament taking place in the home of both football and betting we are already anticipating an amazing betting bonanza with up to £3billion being gambled on the 2018 tournament worldwide – at least double what the 2010 event managed’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’However, had England won we’d have expected a betting turnover of up to £5billion.’

ENGLAND are now 10/1 with William Hill to host the 2030 World Cup. ‘We’re now finding it as difficult to make a serious bid to host the World Cup as we do to win Eurovision’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

HILLS have already opened a book on a number of elements of the 2018 tournament: ‘The shrewd punters backed Russia – one South London customer staked £2000 on them at 4/5 -but a late patriotic gamble which promoted England back to the favouritism they lost after the Sunday Times revelations made the market a six figure winner for us – which is some (very) small consolation for the World Cup not coming home’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

ALREADY, Hills have put up markets for who will manage and skipper the England side which takes the field for the country’s first game of the 2018 World Cup finals – and which other players will be part of it – Wayne Rooney is 2/1 to make it, (and 9/1 favourite to score England’s first goal of the Finals) (1/2 not to) but the shortest priced contender is Jack Wilshere at 7/4 (4/7 not to). ‘Over seven years is a long time to wait for your winnings, but if you correctly select a player who starts you’ll be receiving back over 175% profit on your original investment – not something many banks and building societies are likely to be able to match!’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. ‘And we are offering our punters a 100% market because of the timeframe, leaving no profit margin for ourselves’ he added.

The Fluctuating Fortunes Of England’s World Cup Bid

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

Monday evening’s Panorama exposé saw the odds of England hosting the World Cup pushed out to 3/1 with William Hill however, following a number of three figure bets, the odds have since been cut to 11/4. Not since England first threw their name into the hat have their odds been as long.

England initially expressed their interest in hosting the 2018 World Cup back in November 2005 and they were offered at 8/1. They then started to attract some tentative bets totalling around £3000, by the time England officially announced they would be entering the race, they were 4/1 shots. In February 2007 England became odds on favourites (4/6) for the first time but by March the English bid was back out to 6/4. The English odds hovered around Evens until November 2009 when Dave Richards handed in his resignation as Chairman of the Premier League and the odds were eased out to 11/4, however the announcement of the potential English stadia saw the odds slashed to 7/4.

Since the bid was handed over by David Beckham in January of this year, England have remained favourites at one point as short as 8/11, however when the Times uncovered the FIFA cash for votes scandal Russia’s bid overtook them for the first time.

“England’s odds have fluctuated massively over the course of the last five years but as it stands England are still our biggest loss but we would be more than happy to pay out on football coming home. In the long run, a domestic World Cup would see turnover break all World Cup betting records,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

How The Odds Have Changed:

5th November 2005 – Initial interest – 8/1
20th January 2007 – Official Bid Announcement – 4/1
12th February 2007 – First Odds-On – 4/6
24th November 2009 – Dave Richards resigns as Chairman of the Premier League – 11/4
7th January 2010 – Potential English Stadia announced – 7/4
12th May 2010 – David Beckham hands over Bid book – 11/10
12th June2010 – Back to odds on – 5/6
17th October 2010 – Times Exposé – 11/8
29th November 2010 – Panorama – 3/1

William Hill World Cup Odds:

2018 Bid: 4/6 Russia; 11/4 Portugal & Spain; 11/4 England; 20/1 Belgium & Holland

25/1 England Host and Win the World Cup in 2018

£2 Punter Wins Big On Hammers Hammering United

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

Although plenty of people would have been expecting Arsenal to triumph against Wigan tonight, not many people were expecting West Ham to win and even fewer predicted 4-0 – with the biggest bet placed being £2 at William Hill, with odds of 125/1. Hills are offering 5/2 that tonight’s victors meet each other in the final with Arsenal the 8/11 favourites to win the tournament and West Ham 9/2.

“Upton Park was bouncing tonight, not least in the seat that housed the loyal Hammer who placed £2 at 125/1 on 4-0. There was not many people who risked even £1 on such an unlikely outcome,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Ipswich are the only non-Premier League side left but even that may not be able to save Roy Keane’s job should they be humiliated tomorrow against West Brom. Hills are offering 4/1 that Keano leaves his job between the end of the West Brom game and the start of the Swansea game.

William Hill Carling Cup Odds:

Outright: 8/11 Arsenal; 9/2 West Ham; 13/2 Aston Villa; 9/1 West Brom; 9/1 Birmingham; 20/1 Ipswich

5/2 West Ham/Arsenal Final

4/1 Roy Keane leaves his job between the end of the West Brom game and the start of the Swansea game

Late Backing For England To Win 2018 World Cup Bid

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

ENGLAND BACKED TO WIN 2018 WORLD CUP BID

AFTER drifting out to 3/1 with William Hill to host the 2018 World Cup after the Panorama show, England have been the medium of a hefty patriotic gamble to win the right to stage the event following the efforts of Prince William , David Beckham and David Cameron and Hills have slashed their odds to 13/8 second favourites. ‘The cash has been piling on England to win the right to stage the 2018 World Cup bid but although over 75% of the bets have been for England, the larger bets are for the favourites, Russia. As bookies we face a six figure payout if England do win the bid, but we’ll be delighted to shell out as a World Cup in England would produce a record betting turnover of in excess of £2billion’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
WILLIAM HILL OFFER 5/2 THAT DAVID CAMERON WILL STILL BE PRIME MINISTER WHEN THE 2018 WORLD CUP KICKS OFF – AND 25/1 THAT ENGLAND WILL BOTH HOST AND WIN THE 2018 TOURNAMENT.
And William Hill offer 10/1 that the 2026 World Cup will be organised by a new organisation not related to FIFA. ‘There is speculation that several influential countries are not happy with FIFA’s practices and domination of world football and may be prepared to attempt to break their monopoly oforganising the World Cup’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

LATEST WILLIAM HILL 2018 WORLD CUP BID ODDS…8/11 Russia; 13/8 England; 9/2 Portugal/Spain; 40/1 Holland/Belgium.

USA SUPPORTED FOR 2022

WILLIAM HILL have cut their odds for the USA to host the 2022 World Cup from 9/2 to 5/2 after a flurry of support for them to do so. ‘The late money is all for USA but Qatar look like remaining favourites’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

LATEST WILLIAM HILL 2022 WORLD CUP BID ODDS….4/6 Qatar; 5/2 Australia; 5/2 USA; 33/1 Japan; 40/1 S Korea.

Massive Gamble On Russia For 2018

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

In the last 24 hours, William Hill have seen a heavy gamble (including one bet of £2000) in the London area for Russia’s 2018 World Cup Bid and have subsequently slashed their odds from Even money to 4/6. This has pushed England’s odds out to 9/4 and Portugal and Spain’s bid is priced at 3/1. It is a long way since England were the massive odds on favourites a month ago and it now seems as if Russia have the upper hand with a decision imminent on Tuesday.

“As opposed to England, Russia seems to be attracting money at the right time and with decision day getting ever closer, it seems as if there is only one winner,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Unlikely Comeback For 33/1 Spurs…only £200 Staked By Far Sighted Punters

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

Spurs completed an unlikely comeback and were as long as 33/1 with William Hill to win the game at half time. In a game which attracted over £80,000 of in play betting, only £200 was staked on Spurs when they were 2-0 down.

Spurs boss, Harry Redknapp, is now the clear favourite for the England manager’s job, when it becomes available, at 2/1.

“At 2-0 Spurs looked dead and buried and this was reflected by our punters. Less than 1% of the game’s turnover was staked on them at half time. ‘Arry really turned the game around and he is the front-runner to be the next England manager,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

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

CHELSEA 25/1 TO LOSE 3-0 AGAIN THIS SEASON!

WILLIAM HILL offer 25/1 that Chelsea will again be beaten by 3-0 in the Premier League this season, home or away. ‘That result was almost as surprising and as much of a coupon-buster as Rangers and Celtic both losing on the same day recently – we couldn’t have asked for a better result to make it a great weekend for bookies, courtesy of Steve Bruce and David Haye!’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills offered 14/1 that Sunderland would win the game, and 125/1 by 0-3. ‘We took a total of SIX bets, the largest of which was £2, for the 0-3 scoreline’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

CHELSEA are still odds-on to win the Premier League with William Hill who make them 8/11 favourites and also offer 10/3 Man U; 4/1 Arsenal; 18 Man C; 66 Liverpool; 200 Spurs.

FINISH IN TOP FOUR…2/5 Man C; 5/2 Spurs; 9/2 Liverpool; 8 Everton; 10 Villa

FINISH BOTTOM…13/8 Blackpool; West Ham; 7/4 Wigan; 2/1 Wolves; 16 Birmingham; WBA.

MANCINI AGAIN FAVOURITE TO BE NEXT BOSS OUT.

ROBERTO Mancini has regained favouritism to be the next Premier League manager to leave his job with William Hill who make him 6/4 favourite ahead of Roy Hodgson at 7/4, and also offer 4/1 Avram Grant; 9/1 Ian Holloway and Chris Hughton; 10/1 Mick McCarthy; 14/1 Roberto Martinez; 28/1 No more Prem bosses to go this season. (Others on request). ‘Messrs Mancini, Hodgson and Grant have been sharing favouritism around amongst them for the past few weeks and it looks certain that one of them will depart by Christmas’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Hills also offer 3/1 £5.9m or less; 7/2 £26m-£30m; 4/1 £21m-£25m; 11/2 £16m-£20m; 33/1 £6m-£10m.
