United 4/9 To Maintain Five Point Gap At Top Of Table

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

The title race could take yet another twist on Sunday with both Manchester sides in action. William Hill are offering 14/1 that Manchester United win and Manchester City lose, leaving the Reds eight points ahead before their game next weekend. Hills also offer 10/1 that the opposite happens and Manchester City close the gap to just two points. The favourite is that United retain their five point gap (at 4/9) with United having the chance to win the Premier League at the home of their bitter rivals. Hills are go 5/2 that they do just that (2/7 they do not).

“Manchester United would surely love the opportunity to win the title at the Etihad, but in the same vein, City will be determined not to let that happen and the derby next week could hinge on the two games on Sunday,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Alex Ferguson talked about how he expects that Wayne Rooney will beat Bobby Charlton’s Manchester United goalscoring record and William Hill go 2/1 that he just that during his career (4/11 that doesn’t).

How many points will Manchester United be clear after this week’s round of Premier League fixtures: 10/1 two; 5/1 three; 50/1 four; 4/9 five; 50/1 six; 7/1 seven; 14/1 eight

Manchester United to win the League at Manchester City: 5/2 yes; 2/7 no

Wayne Rooney to beat Bobby Charlton’s Manchester United goalscoring record: 2/1 yes; 4/11 no

You Bet Someone Loves Jose

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

Real big bet on Madrid………
YOU BET SOMEONE LOVES JOSE

A WILLIAM HILL online client has staked £20,000 on Real Madrid over-turning Barcelona’s two goal lead from the first leg of their Champions League semi final and knocking them out. The client took odds of 16/1 which would give him a profit of £320,000 if the bet is successful. Hills have now cut Real’s odds of going through from 16/1 to 14/1 but make Barcelona red hot favourites to reach the final at odds of 1/50. ‘This is a bold wager, which may look an inspired gamble if Jose can live up to his ‘Special One’ nickname and somehow plot the downfall of bitter rivals Barca’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

FOLLOWING the controversial scenes at the first leg of the Bareclona- Real Madrid Champions League semi, William Hill are betting on how many players Real will end up with on the pitch and offer 2/5 all eleven; 9/4 just ten; 5/1 nine or fewer.

William Hill make Jose Mourinho odds-on still to be Real Madrid boss on the first day of next season, despite his outspoken remarks after the defeat to Barcelona. ‘Most Real – and probably Chelsea and Inter – fans will empathise with Mourinho’s comments, controversial though they are. He is shrewd enough to know that, and as well as removing responsibility for defeat from himself he is also keeping the fans onside for a further stint with Real, in case those same comments may not have gone down well with potential future employers’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

You Bet: Rovers And Bohs Will Meet In The Fai Cup Final

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

William Hill are offering odds of 6/5 for bitter rivals Shamrock Rovers and Bohemians to meet in this year’s FAI Cup final.

The first of the two semi-finals takes place at Dalymount Park on Friday night when Bohemians take on Sligo Rovers. Hills make Bohemians 2/5 favourites to qualify for the final, while Sligo Rovers are available at 7/4. In the 90 minutes market – Bohemians are 4/6, Sligo Rovers are 7/2, and the draw is on offer at 23/10.

The other semi-final is an all-Dublin affair between Shamrock Rovers and St. Patrick’s Athletic on Sunday. The Hoops are 1/2 to qualify for the final at the expense of St. Patrick’s Athletic who are 6/4 to reach the final. The home side are 5/6 favourites to win the game in 90 minutes, St. Pat’s are 11/4 – and the draw is 9/4.

The bookies are also offering odds on both Shamrock Rovers and Bohemians completing the Airtricity League/FAI Cup double this season. Hills make Bohs 5/2 to complete the double – while Rovers are 15/2 to win both titles.

‘On league form, Rovers and Bohs look like the obvious candidates to reach the final,’ said William Hill spokesman Tony Kenny ‘However, league form goes out the window in the Cup – and St. Patrick’s Athletic and Sligo Rovers will both fancy their chances of upsetting the odds.’

Bohs Now To 4/11 Complete Hat-trick Of Leagues

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

Bohemians are now the 4/11 favourites to win the 2010 Airtricity League title following a dramatic series of matches on Saturday afternoon.

The Gypsies beat St. Patrick’s Athletic 1-0 at the Stadium of Light – and then watched their bitter rivals, Shamrock Rovers, lose 2-1 at home to Sporting Fingal.

Saturday’s results leaves Bohemians one point clear of Shamrock Rovers at the top of the table with just two games to go.

Rovers, who lead the league by eight points at one stage, are now 2/1 to win their first league title since 1994.

In the penultimate round of fixtures – Bohemians play Galway in Terryland Park, while the Hoops are at home to Drogheda United.

‘Bohemians are now in the box seat – and it’s hard to see them dropping points against either Galway or Dundalk,’ said Hills spokesman Tony Kenny ‘Rovers were 1/6 favourites to win the league just a few weeks ago, but the destiny of the 2010 Airtricity League is now out of their hands.’

City 5/4 To Outdo United

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

YOU BET CITY CAN OUTDO UNITED THIS SEASON….

WITH MANCHESTER CITY already flexing their financial muscle, William Hill make them 8/13 to finish in the top four next season and 6/5 not to – while they are just 5/1 to win the Premier League title. ‘City never looked like winning the title last season, but punters are already taking note of their early spending spree and we are now starting to see support coming in for them – we took 86 internet title bets for City, and a Manchester shop bet of £300 after the news of Yaya Toure’s signing was released’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. ‘They are 5/1 third favourites at the moment and it is not impossible that they could overtake second favourites United if they keep on spending’

Hills make City 5/4 to finish above bitter rivals United, who are 4/7 to do vice versa, this season.
