Bookies Relief After Treble Trouncing But Still Fear Double Trouble!

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

Bookies were celebrating Manchester United’s defeat to Manchester City. William Hill had seen the odds of United winning the treble backed in from over 100/1 to 6/1 and were facing a seven figure payout had they done it. 11 years ago, Hills had their worst ever football payout when United bagged the treble, but can sleep easily now that they are out of this year’s FA Cup. United are 3/1 to win the double
City are now the 2/5 favourites to win the tournament.
“As the season progressed, United to win the treble was backed in from 100/1 to 6/1 under the weight of almost £100,000 worth of bets,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “We will not be waking up in the middle of the night worrying about the treble, but the double is still a danger.”
Following Paul Scholes’ red card, Hills are offering 3/1 that a player is dismissed during the game between Bolton and Stoke.

…………….PREMIER LEAGUE……………….

Blackpool inched closer to relegation following defeat to rivals Wigan and are now 3/10 (from 4/7) to go down. West Ham suffered last minute heartache against Aston Villa and are the 2/5 second favourites for relegation. Wigan and Wolves also share 5/6 to get relegated. At the other end of the table, despite not playing in the league, Manchester United are still 1/6 to win the league, while Arsenal are 11/2 and Chelsea 12/1.

“Following their twelfth defeat in sixteen games, Blackpool’s position looks perilous and they are now our favourites for the drop: a position they have not held since pre-season,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Premier League Outright: 1/6 Manchester United; 11/2 arsenal; 12/1 Chelsea; 150/1 Manchester City

Premier League Relegation: 3/10 Blackpool; 2/5 West Ham; 5/6 Wigan; 5/6 Wolves; 11/8 Blackburn; 11/1 Sunderland; 16/1 BAR

FA Cup Outright: 2/5 Manchester City; 9/2 Bolton; 9/2 Stoke

ENGLAND WIN DELIGHTS BOOKIES

UNUSUALLY, bookmakers were delighted with an England victory. ‘The majority of the corrrect score bets we took were for victories of 4-0 and upwards, so we are relieved that the goals petered out at two. Usually an England win equals bookie gloom, but we got off relatively lightly this time, particularly as a fair few punters fancied an upset win for Wales’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Bookies Hail Gunners’ Multi Million Mix Up As Arsenal Odds On To Win Zilch – Again.

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

Arsenal odds-on to win nothing – again!
BOOKIES HAIL ARSENAL’S MULTI MILLION MIX-UP

THE Arsenal defensive mix-up which cost them the Carling Cup was worth £10 million to bookies. ‘We faced a seven figure payout had Arsenal gone on to win the Quadruple and as much again had they lifted the Carling Cup itself, so that defensive mix-up was a £10million bonus for the bookmaking industry’ said William Hill spokesman Graham Sharpe.’Punters had plunged cash on Arsenal as though defeat was out of the question – but Alex McLeish – and Ben Foster – found the answer.’
AND HILLS NOW MAKE ARSENAL ODDS ON TO ENDURE YET ANOTHER SEASON WITH NO TROPHIES. Hills offer 8/15 that the Gunners will finish the season trophy-less once more, but quote them at 80/1 to win the three remaining trophies they are contesting.
ARSENE WENGER is 9/1 with Hills to cease to be Arsenal manager by the first day of next season, but 1/25 to remain in place. ‘Just how long will the Arsenal fans remain loyal to Arsene Wenger if his trophy-less run continues’ asked Hill’s spokesman Sharpe.

BOOKIES NOT KEAN ON NEW BLACKBURN BOSS STEVE!

WITH Steve Kean being appointed as Blackburn manager, William Hill are already offering odds of 5/6 that he will be OUT of the job by the first day of next season.’
Since Sam Allardyce left Blackburn they have been one of the best backed teams to be relegated and are now down to 7/1 for the drop’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
And Hills make Kean 28/1 to be the NEXT Premier League manager to leave his job.
Hills have paid out to customers who backed Kean to get the job – but say that anyone who backed any other contender to become the next Blackburn manager will have their bet carried over until Kean is succeeded by the next permanent boss at the club. ‘As it is Christmas, we are paying out on Kean, but letting all other bets on the market stand until the manager after Kean is permanently appointed’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’We think punters may not have long to wait to find out who that will be.’

STEVE KEAN to be Blackburn manager on first day of next season – 5/6 NO; 5/6 YES
STEVE KEAN TO be next Prem manager of this season to leave his job – 28/1

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.

Bookies Paying The Penalty For Rooney’s Lack Of Form

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

Wayne Rooney scored from the spot last night against Rangers taking his Manchester United tally this season to two…both goals being penalties. William Hill have opened a book on the method of Rooney’s next goal and make a penalty 5/1. Rooney to score from a shot inside the penalty box is Hill’s 4/7 favourite, while a shot from outside the penalty box is offered at 9/2.

“Wayne Rooney scored a penalty against Rangers, however, that does not disguise the fact that he is suffering from a continued dip in form. It could well be that he adds to his tally with another penalty,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Wayne Rooney Odds:

Method of Next Goal: 4/7 shot from inside the box (excluding header & penalty); 9/2 Shot from outside the box (excluding header or free kick); 5/1 Penalty; 6/1 Header; 12/1 Direct from free kick.

Rooney Costs Bookies A Small Fortune As Brave Rangers Now 20/1 For Europa Glory

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

Manchester United and Tottenham both secured victory in Europe tonight and in the process secured their places in the last 16 of the Champions’ League. Wayne Rooney scored the only goal of the evening as Manchester United defeated Rangers and bookmakers William Hill have had to pay out a high five figure sum because of it.

“We are not feeling so smug tonight as it would appear that all of the money that we won on Arsenal losing has been paid out to punters who put their faith in Rooney,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Spurs are now priced at 20/1 from 25/1 with William Hill while United are in from 9/1 to 8/1 to win the Champions’ League.

The English sides both managed to improve on Tuesday’s woeful performances by Chelsea and Arsenal, but despite this, Chelsea are the 11/8 favourites to progress furthest out of all of the English teams. United are 15/8 and Spurs are priced as the 11/2 outsiders of the four.

Rangers were unlucky in defeat to Manchester United and have guaranteed themselves third place in the group. Hills have priced them at 20/1 to now go on and win the Europa League.

William Hill Champions’ League Odds:

Outright: 11/4 Barcelona; 11/4 Real Madrid; 4/1 Chelsea; 8/1 Man Utd; 12/1 Arsenal; 16/1 Bayern Munich; 16/1 Inter; 20/1 AC Milan; 20/1 Tottenham; 50/1 BAR

English Team To Get Furthest: 11/8 Chelsea; 15/8 Man Utd; 7/2 Arsenal; 11/2 Tottenham

English Teams In The Final: 4/5 One; 7/5 None; 11/2 Two

20/1 Rangers to win the Europa league

Dire Night Of Football Brightened By Arsenal Loss…arsene 11/2 To Be Gone By Next Season

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

Arsenal lost tonight and Chelsea had to come from behind to win, in what were two very scrappy performances from British sides. Chelsea are the 11/8 favourites to progress furthest out of all the British teams with William Hill.

Arsenal, on the other hand, looked as though they had not recovered from their North London hangover and Hills now make them 7/2 to progress the furthest. Their odds of winning the Champions’ League have been eased from 10/1 to 12/1. Arsenal’s defeat saved bookies paying out a fair old wedge but should their current run of poor form continue, Arsene Wenger could find himself under pressure and Hills are offering 11/2 that he has left by the first game of next season. The Gunners are now level on points with tonight’s conquerors and Hills are offering 10/1 that Arsenal fail to qualify for the latter stages of the competition.

“It was a rather underwhelming evening of football but despite this, we are still smiling as Arsenal have saved us a small fortune. We may have numb bums, but we are still happy,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Champions’ League Odds:

Outright: 11/4 Real Madrid; 11/4 Barcelona; 4/1 Chelsea; 9/1 Man Utd; 12/1 Arsenal; 16/1 Bayern Munich; 20/1 Internazionale; 20/1 AC Milan; 25/1 Tottenham; 50/1 BAR

British Team To Progress The Furthest: 11/8 Chelsea; 21/10 Man Utd; 7/2 Arsenal; 6/1 Tottenham; 33/1 Rangers

Arsene Wenger To Still Be At Arsenal On First Day Of Next Season: 1/10 Yes; 11/2 No

British Teams In Final: 4/5 One; 7/5 None; 11/2 Two

Arsenal To Qualify From Group H: 1/33 Yes; 10/1 No
