You Bet Carroll Will Be On His Best Behaviour

William Hill have lengthened the odds of Andy Carroll to be the next Premier League player to be arrested, from 12/1 to 16/1, following his warning from Fabio Capello to keep off the booze. Hills make Ashley Cole and Joey Barton the 8/1 joint favourites.

“Following his big money move and with the belief that he will lead the line for England for the next few years, at least, Andy has been warned to curb his boozing and he may well become the consummate professional,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Following their game against Ghana Hills offer Even money that Capello changes at least eight of the England starting line-up.

Arrested Developments: Cole Could Find Himself In Hot Water Once More

William Hill have reopened betting on the next Premier League footballer to be arrested following the news that Ashley Cole is likely to escape punishment for his air-rifle shenanigans. Cole heads the betting at 7/1, with another of football’s not-so-squeaky-clean luminaries, Joey Barton, 8/1 to be the next Premier League footballer to be arrested for a new offence. John Terry is the 10/1 third favourite.

“Ashley has been off the front pages for quite a while now but recent revelations have seen him return with a flourish. The odds suggest that Cole could become quite the rogue over the next few months ,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Hills have already paid out on Craig Bellamy and Jack Wilshere and could still find themselves paying out on Cole if he is arrested over the air rifle incident.

William Hill Next Premier League Player Arrested Prices*:

7/1 Ashley Cole; 8/1 Joey Barton; 10/1 John Terry; 11/1 Anton Ferdinand; 11/1 Jack Wilshere; 11/1 Mario Ballotelli; 12/1 Andy Carroll; 12/1 El Hadji Diouf; 12/1 Steven Gerrard; 14/1 Wayne Rooney; 16/1 Barry Ferguson; 16/1 Kevin Nolan; 20/1 Jermaine Pennant; 25/1 Frank Lampard; 25/1 Jermaine Defoe; 25/1 Rio Ferdinand; 33/1 Carlos Teez; 33/1 Didier Drogba; 33/1 Joe Cole; 33/1 Nicolas Anelka

In Cole-d Blood: Ashley Favourite To Visit The Cop Shop

Ashley Cole has been made the 8/1 joint favourite with William Hill to be the next Premier League player to be arrested following reports that he shot a student with an air rifle. Joey Barton is also 8/1, while John Terry is the 10/1 third favourite.

“Rather bizarrely, reports are suggesting that Ashley Cole shot someone with an air rifle and it could well be that his bad boy ways are not behind him just yet,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Hills have already paid out on Craig Bellamy and Jack Wilshere this year and the odds suggest that Ashley Cole could make it a “hat-trick of hoodlums.”

*********************************************WILLIAM HILL WEDNESDAY PREM SPECIALS******************************************

IF WOODGATE STARTS, HOW LONG WILL HE LAST?

WITH HARRY REDKNAPP contemplating starting Jonathan Woodgate on Wednesday night, William Hill have opened a book on how long he will play for if he does line up at kick off. ‘If Harry is thinking of starting Woodgate he must be confident that he is fit enough to do himself justice, so we reckon he should at least make it into the latter stages of the game and make 81 or more minutes our 4/7 favourite’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
When will Woodgate come off v Blackburn? (must start)

CARROLL’S ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT?

Andy Carroll has been cut from 7/1 joint favourite to 6/1 clear favourite by William Hill to be the next Premier League player arrested for a new offence following his move to Liverpool. ‘Carroll had his well publicised problems in Newcastle and as a high profile new signing will hardly be able to remain anonymous in and around Liverpool when he is out and about enjoying his social life’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

6/1 Andy Carroll; 7/1Joey Barton; 7/1 Mario Ballotelli; 9/1 Jack Wilshere; 12/1 John Terry; 12/1 Anton Ferdinand; 12/1 Steven Gerrard; 12/1 El Hadji Diouf; 14/1 Wayne Rooney; 16/1 Barry Ferguson; 16/1 Kevin Nolan; 16/1 Ashley Cole; 20/1 Jermaine Pennant; 20/1 Jermaine Pennant; 20/1 Jermaine Defoe; 25/1 Rio Ferdinand; 25/1 Frank Lampard; 25/1 Joe Hart; 33/1 Nicolas Anelka; 33/1 Carlos Tevez; 33/1 Didier Drogba;

KENNY LOSE THE JOB NOW?

WILLIAM HILL have cut Kenny Dalglish from 11/10 to 1/4 favourite to become the permanent Liverpool boss following the two high profile signings he has brought to the club as Torres departed. ‘The fact that so much money was invested in making sure the club had strong replacements in place for the loss of Torres suggests that Kenny is in pole position to be confirmed as permanent boss’ said nHill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

HILLS…TO BE PERMANENT LIVERPOOL BOSS…1/4 Dalglish; 6 O’Neill; 10 Coyle; Rijkaard; 12 Deschamps; Rangnick; Villas-Boas. Others on request.

9/1 NO MORE PREM BOSSES TO GO THIS SEASON

WILLIAM HILL have cut their odds for no further Premier League manager to leave his club this season from 16/1 to 9/1 following the closure of the transfer window. ‘Obviously several managers are under pressure because of results, but at the moment most bosses appear relatively secure in their positions – even though Avram Grant is, for the sixt time this season, odds-on favourite to be the next boss to go this season’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘We have also seen a little support for outspoken Ian Holloway, backed from double figure odds in to 6/1 second favourite.’

NEXT PREM BOSS TO GO THIS SEASON…4/7 Grant; 6 Holloway; 8 McLeish; 9 None; 10 Di Matteo; Hughes; Martinez; 12 Ancelotti; 16 McCarthy; Moyes.

Jack The Lad: You Bet Wilshere Is New Premiership Wildman!

Punters who are tearing up their ‘next Premier League footballer to be arrested’ slips, following news of Jack Wilshere’s arrest, had best hold on. William Hill are not going to be paying out on the Arsenal starlet’s arrest as it was for an offence that happened last year. This means that the betting for second arrest of 2011 is still open. Hill’s have cut Wilshere’s odds from 11/1 to 9/1 to be the second footballer arrested for a new offence. Trio, Andy Carroll, Joey Barton and Mario Balotelli are joint 7/1 favourites.

“Jack’s rap sheet is growing at an alarming rate and he could soon be earning punters more money for his off field antics than he does playing football,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Last week, Hill’s paid out on Craig Bellamy being the first Premier League arrest of the season. Despite playing for Cardiff, his registration is still held by Manchester City.

Second Premier League Footballer Arrested For New Offence: 7/1 Andy Carroll; 7/1 Joey Barton; 7/1 Mario Ballotelli; 9/1 Jack Wilshere; 11/1 John Terry; 11/1 Anton Ferdinand; 12/1 Steven Gerrard; 12/1 El Hadji Diouf; 14/1 Wayne Rooney; 16/1 Barry Ferguson; 16/1 Kevin Nolan; 16/1 Ashley Cole; 20/1 Jermaine Pennant; 20/1 Jermaine Pennant; 20/1 Jermaine Defoe; 25/1 Rio Ferdinand; 25/1 Frank Lampard; 25/1 Joe Hart; 33/1 Nicolas Anelka; 33/1 Carlos Tevez; 33/1 Didier Drogba

It’s A Fair Cop! Bookies Pay Out At 16/1 As Bellamy Arrested!

Craig Bellamy has once again won punters a long-odds payout, after he became the first Premier League player of 2011 to be arrested – a 16/1 chance to add to his 100/1 stunner when, playing for Liverpool, he marked scoring a goal by making a ‘golf-swing’ celebration shortly after being accused of hitting a team-mate with a golf club.

“Bellamy has proved very punter-friendly for those gambling on off-beat football betting markets.” Hills have reopened their market on the next Premier League footballer to be arrested. “It could become as popular as the next manager to lose his job,” said Hill’s spokesman “and we are making Joey Barton and Andy Carroll 7/1 joint favourites.”

William Hill Next Premier League Footballer To Be Arrested

7/1 Andy Carroll; 7/1 Joey Barton; 8/1 Mario Balotelli; 9/1 Anton Ferdinand; 9/1 John Terry; 10/1 Jack Wilshere; 10/1 Steven Gerrard; 10/1 Wayne Rooney; 12/1 El Hadji Diouf; 14/1 Barry Ferguson; 14/1 Kevin Nolan; 14/1 Rio Ferdinand; 16/1 Ashley Cole; 16/1 Frank Lampard; 16/1 Jermaine Pennant; 16/1 Joe Hart; 20/1 Jermain Defoe; 20/1 Nicolas Anelka; 25/1 Carlos Tevez; 25/1 Craig Gordon; 33/1 Didier Drogba; 40/1 Peter Crouch; 50/1 Gareth Bale
