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

Sir Alex Ferguson seemingly took offence at the line of questioning from Kenny Dalglish’s daughter Kelly, after the match in Benfica and William Hill are offering 8/1 that the two bosses refuse to shake hands after their teams meet at Anfield on the 15th October. Hills also offer 33/1 that Fergie officially announces that he will not conduct any interviews with Kelly Cates following a Manchester United match.

“Fergie is known to have very little time for any journalists that dare to irritate him with awkward questions, and it could well be that his rival’s daughter may well have ticked that box on Wednesday evening,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

With the match between the two rivals a month away, Hills are offering 9/1 that Liverpool win both matches and 5/2 that United do. For both side to get a win each is 9/4.

How many points will Liverpool get against Manchester United? 9/1 Six; 11/2 four; 9/4 three; 15/2 two; 3/1 one; 5/2 none

Will Ferguson and Dalglish shake hands following the match at Anfield on Oct 15th? 1/20 yes; 8/1 no

Ferguson to announce that he will refuse to conduct any interviews with Kelly Cates during this season: 33/1

WILL GERRARD BE FIT FOR SEASON?

WITH STEVEN GERRARD a non-runner on Liverpool’s pre-season tour of Asia, William Hill have opened a book on whether the Reds’ skipper will start their first Premier League game of the season – and offer 2/5 that he WILL, 7/4 that he will NOT. ‘Gerrard is still a key player for Liverpool and it would be a real setback for them if he was not fit enough to start their campaign’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Liverpool play Sunderland at Anfield in their opening game and are 7/20 to win it with Hills who make the visitors 6/1 and the draw 16/5.

Chelsea Getting Ever Closer…but When Will Torres Score?

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

Fernando Torres failed to find the net again although William Hill are offering 4/5 that he bags his first Chelsea goal at Stamford Bridge against Copenhagen next week. 7/1 is on offer for him to fail to find the net for the next five matches. Defeat left Blackpool dangling perilously over the relegation trapdoor and thus increased the probability of star man, Charlie Adam, leaving the club. Hills are offering 13/8 that he leaves for Tottenham in the Summer, while 5/2 is on offer for him to join the Kenny Dalglish revolution at Anfield.

“Torres looks more worth 50p than £50 million at the moment, but he is a quality forward but we are expecting him to take us for a small fortune when he does eventually score,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “Possibly staring with Copenhagen next week.”

Blackpool are only two points off relegation now and Hills have them as Even money (from 6/5) to be relegated at the end of the season, while Chelsea on the other hand have closed the gap on Manchester United and have been cut from 14/1 to 7/1 to retain their Premier League crown. “Chelsea are well and truly over their slump…write them off at your peril!”

Which Club Will Charlie Adam Be At On First Day Of Next Season: 13/8 Tottenham; 5/2 Liverpool; 5/1 Blackpool; 10/1 Manchester United; 16/1 German Club; 20/1 Spanish Club; 25/1 Italian Club

Fernando Torres First Chelsea Goal: 4/5 Copenhagen; 5/2 Manchester City; 5/1 Stoke; 8/1 Wigan; 12/1 West Brom; 7/1 None of the next five

Premier League Outright: 8/11 Manchester United; 7/4 Arsenal; 7/1 Chelsea; 25/1 Manchester City; 200/1 Tottenham

Premier League Relegation: 2/7 Wigan; 1/1 Blackpool; 6/5 Wolves; 11/8 West Ham; 7/4 West Brom; 9/4 Birmingham; 3/1 Blackburn; 10/1 BAR

Manchester City: Champions League…they’re Having A Laugh But Wigan Look Doomed

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

Manchester City won against Wigan in Saturday’s late kick off and solidified their chances of Champions League football next season. They are offered at 1/3 with William Hill to finish in the top four, with Arsenal at 1/150 and Chelsea 1/8. City’s nearest contenders are Tottenham who are priced at 11/8 to breach the top four. City are also 25/1 to win the league, in from 33/1. Wigan’s woes continue and they are now 1/4 to get relegated, while Wolves and Blackpool are both 11/10 for the drop. Following the continuation of their mini revival under Roy Hodgson, West Brom are 13/8 to get relegated.

Arsenal failed to capitalise on Manchester United’s defeat midweek, by being held to a draw at home by Sunderland and their price to win the Premier League has drifted from 7/4 to 9/4 while, even without playing, Manchester United are back in to 8/15 from 8/13.

“Manchester City did not play particularly well against Wigan, however, they did not look like walking away with anything less than three points,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “As long as they keep winning, the Champions League spot is theirs.”

Manchester United take on Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday and Hills have the away side as marginal 6/4 favourites ahead of Liverpool who offered at 15/8. It could also mark Andy Carroll’s debut for the Reds and Hills are offering 5/1 that he comes off the bench and scores a goal. Games between the pair are often feisty affairs and 2/1 is on offer for any player to be shown red card.

William Hill Odds:

Premier League Outright: 8/15 Manchester United; 9/4 Arsenal; 11/1 Chelsea; 25/1 Manchester City; 150/1 Tottenham Hotspur

Top Four Finish: Manchester United N/A; 1/150 Arsenal; 1/8 Chelsea; 1/3 Manchester City; 11/8 Tottenham Hotspur; 16/1 Liverpool; 50/1 Bolton Wanderers

Relegation: 1/4 Wigan; 11/10 Wolves; 11/10 Blackpool; 6/5 West Ham; 13/8 West Brom; 9/4 Birmingham; 7/2 Blackburn; 12/1 Stoke; 16/1 BAR

Will Torres Fans Be Singing The Blues Or Will Carroll Be On Song?

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

Fernando Torres has moved to Chelsea and Andy Carroll has arrived at Anfield to replace him. William Hill are offering 7/1 that both strikers net on their debuts for their new clubs. Andy Carroll has scored 11 goals this season and Hills are offering 11/4 that he manages to bag at least another eight before the end of the season and evens that he scores five or fewer goals for his new club. Torres is 6/5 to score six or less goals for Chelsea for the remainder of this season and 11/4 to score 11 or more.

“Torres and Carroll have dominated the headlines on transfer deadline day but the odds suggest that they may not be dominating the headlines as much come the following months,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Hills are offering 5/6 that Torres scores a quicker goal for Chelsea than Carroll does for Liverpool, while Carroll is the same price to score a faster goal than Torres. Torres is 6/4 to score against Liverpool on Sunday and Carroll is 6/4 to bag a goal against Newcastle on the 30th April.

First Goal Of Club Career: 5/6 Torres; 5/6 Torres (by match minute)

YOU BET PEPE’S ANFIELD REINA IS OVER

WITH Liverpool keeper Pepe Reina hinting that he may not stay at Liverpool beyond the end of this season, William Hill have opened a book on where he will be playing on the first day of the 2011/12 season, and make Barcelona his most likely new club if he has moved on from Liverpool by then. ‘Reina has been one of Liverpool’s most consistent players of recent seasons and they will struggle to replace him with an equally reliable keeper, should he decide to leave’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Hodgson Now In Crisis?

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

ROY HODGSON’s odds to be the next Premier League manager to leave his job following Liverpool’s defeats to Manchester United and Northampton, have been halved from 20/1 to 10/1 by William Hill. ‘The side beaten by Northampton was made up of players which by and large were not brought to the club by Roy Hodgson, but the embarrassment of the result will impact on the way fans regard his progress since joining the club’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘It is harsh even to consider Roy being forced out in the near future but given the financial problems and Kenny Dalglish’s public statements that he wanted to be manager, a few more poor results could make him consider whether he made the right decision to come to Anfield’.

AND HILLS NOW MAKE HODGSON 1/2 FAVOURITE TO LEAVE LIVERPOOL BEFORE DAVID MOYES DEPRTS EVERTON, WHO IS 6/4 TO BE THE FIRST OF THE PAIR TO GO.

Hills now make Roberto Martinez 2/1 favourite to be the next Prem boss out and also offer 3/1Grant; 4 Mancini; 9/1 Moyes; 10 McLeish; Hodgson; 12 Hughton; 14 Di Matteo; 20 Holloway; McCarthy.
Hills offer 33/1 that NO more Prem managers will leave their clubs this season – ‘Noone wants to back that option’ said Sharpe.

WILLIAM HILL have closed their book on whether Kenny Dalglish will become caretaker manager at Liverpool whilst heading up the search for a new permanent boss. ‘We have taken bets of up to £200 for Kenny to become caretaker boss from sources we would expect to be unsually well informed about activities at Anfield, so decided to close the book’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
