Wednesday Specials…relegation Battle, Wenger And Senegalese Hotshots

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

Three of the sides involved in the Premier League relegation battle are involved on Wednesday’s Premier League fixtures and William Hill are betting on how many points Bolton, Blackburn and QPR get between them. Hills offer 66/1 that all three sides win and 7/1 that all three lose. Hills also offer 2/7 that QPR are the highest placed out of the three Premier League teams following Wednesday’s fixtures.

Arsenal take on Bolton followed swiftly by a match against fellow strugglers Blackburn, who beat them earlier in the campaign, and two victories could see them back in the race for a top four place, Blackburn and William Hill offer 11/10 that they take maximum points from the two games. Two defeats, however and Arsene Wenger could be under intense pressure. Hills go 33/1 that they are beaten twice. Arsene Wenger is 11/10 to have left Arsenal by the first game of next season and 11/4 to be the boss of Real Madrid come the first game of next season.

“These two Arsenal matches could defining in more ways than one and two victories for the Gunners could have a massive impact at both ends of the table,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Hills make Robin van Persie 5/4 to outscore the rest of the Arsenal team against Bolton.

Newcastle’s two Senegalese strikers could be back from International duty to play against Blackburn and William Hill go 11/4 that Demba Ba scores more than new boy, Papiss Cisse in the match (10/3 vice versa and 4/7 for the tie).

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

FOOTBALL PUNTERS TAKING THE MICK?

WILLIAM HILL have cut Mick McCarthy, who was a 12/1 shot after his side drew with Spurs recently, to 4/7 favourite to be the next Premier League manager to leave his club. ‘The internet has been alive with rumours about Mick McCarthy’s future and punters have been keen to back him to be the next Prem boss to go’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills make Blackburn’s Steve Kean 9/2 second favourite with AVB and Owen Coyle both offered at 8/1 with Roberto Martinez 10/1, Alex McLeish 11/1 and Harry Redknapp 12/1.
Hills offer 8/1 that no more managers will depart their clubs this season.

WOLVES are 10/11 to be relegated and 13/2 to finish bottom of the table with Hills who make them 4/5 to stay up.

Beckham’s U-turn And Carroll Back To Geordie Shores?

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

Following the news that both David Beckham and PSG have pulled the plug on his supposed move to Paris, William Hill are now offering 4/11 that his next competitive game is for the LA Galaxy and 4/1 that he signs for any other MLS side. Should he move to England, QPR are the favourites to sign him at 12/1 with Arsenal 16/1. A return to Spain looks the most unlikely outcome with Malaga the favourites of the Spanish sides to sign him up at 25/1.

Hills offer 1/3 that David Beckham starts the first match for Team GB at the Olympics.

“In a full U turn, it looks like Becks will now be staying in America and more than likely, turning out for the Galaxy once again,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Andy Carroll has hardly set the world alight since his arrival at Liverpool from Newcastle and rumours are suggesting that he could well be returning to the North East. Hills make him 10/3 to return to Newcastle, whether permanently or on loan and Hills think that Darren Bent could well be on his way to Anfield, offering 9/2 that he signs for Liverpool in January.

David Beckham’s Next Competitive Game: 4/11 LA Galaxy; 4/1 Any other MLS team; 12/1 QPR; 16/1 Arsenal; 20/1 Fulham; 25/1 Anzhi; 25/1 Chelsea; 25/1 Malaga; 25/1 Man Utd…others on request

10/3 Andy Carroll to return to Newcastle in January 2012 (1/5 not to)

9/2 Darren Bent to sign for Liverpool in January 2012 (1/8 not to)

Wednesday’s Football

Manchester United are firm favourites to defeat Newcastle, despite losing to Blackburn and William Hill make them 8/11 to win in the North East. Newcastle are 4/1 and the game should signal the return of Wayne Rooney to the starting line up. William Hill offer 6/4 that his first action during the game is to score a goal while he is 4/1 to be booked and 40/1 to see a straight red first. Rooney is 15/8 to outscore Demba Ba during the game and 5/2 to outscore Javier Hernandez. The last time these two sides played, Manchester United conceded a highly controversial penalty and they are 11/2 to concede another.

“All eyes will be on Rooney as he returns to the pitch following his suspension and we think he could well find the back of the net,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Landon Donovan could return for Everton against Bolton and Hills make him 9/2 to open the scoring and 6/5 to score anytime. It is Even money for him to be subbed before doing anything else in the match, although he is 2/1 to score a goal before that.

What will Rooney do first vs Newcastle: 6/4 Score; 2/1 finish match; 11/4 subbed; 4/1 yellow card; 40/1 red card; 66/1 own goal

Rooney vs Ba (most goals): 15/8 Rooney; 10/3 Ba; 5/6 Tie

Rooney vs Hernandez (most goals): 5/2 Rooney; 11/4 Hernandez; 8/11 Tie

Manchester United to concede a penalty: 11/2

What will Landon Donovan do first vs Bolton: 1/1 Subbed; 2/1 Goal; 10/3 Finish match; 4/1 Yellow Card; 40/1 Red Card; 50/1 Own Goal

Villas Boas Rescued But Rovers May Be Kean To Give Steve The Elbow

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

Frank Lampard salvaged a victory for Chelsea and Hills make them 9/4 second favourites to win the Premier League without the two Manchester sides. The three points against Wolves has eased some of the pressure on manager, Andre Villas-Boas and Hills make him odds on, at 8/13, to still be at Chelsea on the first day of next season. While AVB was met with cheers, two of his counterparts, Steve Kean and Alex McLeish, were met with jeers and Hills make them 8/13 (Kean) and Even money (McLeish) to have left their positions before the start of the 2012/13 season. Kean is 10/11 favourite to be the second Premier League manager to leave his job.

“Just as Andre Villas-Boas looks doomed, he manages to claw his way back from the brink and our odds hint that he may well be there come next season,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “Unfortunately, we may not be able to say the same about Steve Kean and Alex McLeish.”

Relegation: 8/15 Bolton; 4/7 Wigan; 8/13 Blackburn; 7/4 Wolves; 9/4 QPR; 3/1 Swansea; 11/2 Norwich; 14/1 BAR

To stay up: 11/8 Bolton; 5/4 Wigan; 6/5 Blackburn; 2/5 Wolves; 1/3 QPR; 2/9 Swansea; 1/10 BAR

Winner without Manchester: 13/8 Tottenham; 9/4 Chelsea; 5/2 Arsenal; 6/1 Liverpool; 125/1 Everton; 125/1 Newcastle

Steve Kean still at Blackburn on first day of next season: 6/5 yes; 8/13 No

Alex McLeish to still be at Aston Villa on the first day of next season: 8/11 yes; Evens no

Andre Villas Boas to still be at Chelsea on the first game of next season: 8/13 yes; 6/5 no

Rooney Odds-on To See Fergie Off

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

Wayne Rooney was left out of the Manchester United side against Blackburn after reportedly breaking a curfew on Boxing Day, but William Hill think that Rooney will get his place in the starting line-up back, offering 1/5 that he starts the next game against Newcastle. This time last year, relations between Rooney and Sir Alex Ferguson were strained as Rooney requested a transfer and Hills offer 8/1 that he asks for another transfer at any point during the January window. Hills think that Rooney will actually see off Ferguson and go 1/2 that he is at United longer than Fergie (6/4 he is not).

Should he leave United, Hills make Manchester City the favourites to sign him at 5/1 with Real Madrid 8/1 and Chelsea and Barcelona at 10/1.

“Despite the sometime volatile relationship between Ferguson and Rooney, we think this particular incident is a mere blip in what we expect to be a long United career for Wayne,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Rooney to start vs Newcastle: 1/5 yes; 10/3 no

Rooney to score against Newcastle: 10/11 anytime; 7/2 first; 4/1 two or more; 20/1 hat-trick

Rooney to be sent off vs Newcastle: 33/1

Will Rooney request a transfer in the January window: 8/1 yes; 1/20 no

Who will be at Manchester United longer: 1/2 Rooney; 6/4 Ferguson

When will Rooney leave Manchester United: 7/1 2012; 11/2 2013; 9/4 2014; 15/8 2015; 12/1 2016; 5/2 2017 or later

Wayne Rooney next club: 5/1 Manchester City; 8/1 Real Madrid; 10/1 Barcelona; 10/1 Chelsea

WHEN WILL BIRTHDAY BOY FERGIE QUIT?

ALTHOUGH his 70th birthday was ruined by United’s shock defeat by Blackburn, Sir Alex Ferguson is just 3/1 still to be in charge at Old Trafford in 2015 – and 13/8 to depart the job in 2012. ‘Sir Alex may have considered his future after the Blackburn game but he’ll no doubt be determined to make amends for one of the worst results of his time as United boss’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Following the game Hills make Man C 8/13 Prem title favourites with United now 7/4.
STEVE KEAN IS NOW EVENS WITH WILLIAM HILL STILL TO BE BLACKBURN BOSS ON THE FIRST DAY OF NEXT SEASON, 8/11 TO BE GONE BY THEN. ‘Steve Kean continues to confound his critics – and punters convinced he’d be gone by now’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

William Hill- when will Sir Alex cease to be United boss?

Spurs/chelsea…liverpool Latest…kean-go

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

The bookies can barely split Spurs and Chelsea as they go head to head in Thursday night’s big Premier League match, with the home side slight favourites at 6/4. Chelsea are 17/10 with the draw 12/5.

Last week against Manchester City, Frank Lampard came off the bench to bag the winner and Hills are offering 4/1 that any substitute scores a goal. Both Adebayor and Drogba are in fine form at the moment and Hills offer 5/2 that Adebayor scores more than Drogba, while the same price is available for Drogba to outscore his Tottenham counterpart. Both sides have settled into a relatively rich vein of form and Hills go 11/8 about the pair finishing in the top four.

Match Betting: 6/4 Tottenham; 17/10 Chelsea; 12/5 Draw

Adebayor/Drogba Match Bet: 5/2 Adebayor; 5/2 Drogba; 4/5 Tie

Any substitute to score a goal: 4/1

YOU BET SUAREZ ABSENCE TO CARROLL’S BENEFIT

William Hill have pushed Liverpool out to 80/1 from 66/1 to win the title following Luis Suarez’s lengthy ban. They are 5/1 to win the league without the presence of the Manchester sides and 6/4 to finish in the top four. While the lengthening odds suggest that Liverpool may well miss Suarez up front, one man who is sure to benefit is Andy Carroll with Hills shortening his odds of outscoring former Liverpool striker, Fernando Torres, from 11/10 to 4/6.

“Liverpool will certainly miss Suarez’s trickery and more importantly his goals, but we think that Andy Carroll will step up to the plate and bag some goals in the Uruguayan’s absence,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Carroll/Torres Match Bet: 4/6 Carroll; 11/10 Torres

STEVE KEAN LATEST

Steve Kean’s tenure at Blackburn looks perilous and he is 5/4 to be out of a job before his side take on Liverpool on Boxing Day. Steve Kean is 1/4 to be the next manager to lose his job – with Owen Coyle drifting out to 10/3.

2nd Premier League Manager to Leave: 1/4 Steve Kean; 10/3 Owen Coyle; 7/1 Mick McCarthy; 8/1 Andre Villas-Boas; 8/1 Alex McLeish; 16/1 Roberto Martinez; 16/1 Martin Jol; 25/1 Harry Redknapp; 25/1 David Moyes; 25/1 Roy Hodgson; 33/1 BAR

Which Manager Will go first: 1/4 Steve Kean; 11/4 Owen Coyle

Coyle/Kean Gone By New Year: 8/13 None; 6/5 one; 20/1 both

When will Steve Kean leave Blackburn:
8/13 Still in charge after Stoke (02/01/12)
5/4 Before Liverpool (26/12/11)
9/1 After Liverpool (26/12/11) before Manchester United (31/12/11)
12/1 After Manchester United (31/12/11) before Stoke (02/01/12)
