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

William Hill have cut the odds of Falcao joining his former manager at Chelsea from 7/4 to 5/4. Hills also offer 6/1 that he signs two of his former players and 12/1 that he signs three or more. Hills offer 11/10 that Modric joins Chelsea from Spurs, while 2/1 is available for Eto’o to arrive from Inter Milan. Romelu Lukaku appears to be the favourite to go to the Bridge, however, with the Anderlecht youngster 4/6 to make the move.

“It appears that Andre Villas-Boas may emulate Mourinho before him by bringing over a hoard of his former players in an attempt to bring glory to the Bridge,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

To sign for Chelsea in the Summer Transfer Window:
Modric: 11/10 yes; 4/6 no
Neymar: 5/2 yes; 2/7 no
Hulk: 4/1 yes; 1/7 no
Falcao: 5/4 yes; 4/7 no
Eto’o: 2/1 yes; 4/11 no
Lukaku: 4/6 yes; 11/10 no
Moutinho: 2/1 yes; 4/11 no

How Many Porto Players Will AVB Sign For Chelsea: 8/11 none; 13/8 one; 6/1 two; 14/1 three or more

You Bet Team GB Will Show United Front…

The GB Football team argument rumbles on and Hills are offering a market on which country will have the most representatives in the squad for the Olympics. England are the 1/16 favourites followed by Wales and Scotland at 9/1. N. Ireland are offered at 16/1. All of the nations are odds on to have at least one player start the first game of the tournament.

“There are murmurings of discontent from some of the home nations associations, however, it looks as though common sense will prevail and each country will have at least one representative at the Games,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Hills go 4/9 about David Beckham starting the first game of the Olympics and offer 20/1 that he is the manager of the side. Stuart Pearce is the favourite to be the boss of the side however, offered at 5/2.

TO BE GB OLYMPIC FOOTBALL TEAM BOSS….5/2 Pearce; 5/1 Southgate; 7/1 O’Neill; 8/1 Noel Blake; 9/1 Brian Flynn; 10/1 Billy Stark;Steve Beaglehole; 11/1 Mark Hughes; 20/1 Sir Alex Ferguson; David Beckham. Others on request.

Flynn Fluffs His Lines To Leave The Door Open For Ian To Rush In

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

Brian Flynn took charge of Wales tonight in the first game of his interim employment and it ended in a 1-0 defeat at home to Bulgaria. This has caused bookmakers William Hill to shorten the odds of Ian Rush becoming the next Wales manager from Evens to 5/6. Brian Flynn is now 11/8 having been 6/5 before Friday’s game.

“Friday was Brian Flynn’s big chance to show that he was the man to turn Wales’ fortunes around. It did not quite happen for him and it has now left the door open for Rushy to take over,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Scotland and Wales both lost 1-0 and this seriously jeopardises their chances of qualification for Euro 2012. Wales are now 25/1 to qualify and Scotland are 5/1 with William Hill. Scotland’s odds of winning the competition overall have now drifted to 250/1 from 200/1 and Wales are 400/1 to win the tournament.

Ian In Rush To Replace Flynn Should Wales Wilt

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

Brian Flynn is taking charge of the Welsh side for their two Euro 2012 qualifiers on Friday and Tuesday but William Hill make him only 6/5 second favourite to take the job on a permanent basis. Should Wales perform well in their two games against Bulgaria and Switzerland, it would certainly not do his chances of getting the job any harm. William Hill are offering odds of 7/4 that Wales gain three points over the two games, 9/4 that they get no points and 20/1 that they get six.

Ian Rush, whose only foray into management was a short stint with Chester, is the Even Money favourite and Chris Coleman is 9/2 third favourite.

“Much depends on how well Wales fare over these two qualifiers. Should they do well, Flynn would be a shoo-in, although should Wales fail to perform, there are contenders waiting in the wings,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Wales Odds:

Next Permanent Wales Manager: 1/1 Ian Rush; 6/5 Brian Flynn; 9/2 Chris Coleman; 8/1 Terry Venebles; 20/1 BAR

How Many Points Will Wales Get In The Two Euro 2012 Qualifiers: 7/4 Three; 2/1 One; 9/4 None8/1 Four; 16/1 Two; 20/1 Six

Defeat Is Not An Option Say Bookies

William Hill are offering an enhanced price fourfold in preparation for Friday’s Home Nations’ international games. Hills are offering 10/1 that Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland all avoid defeat.

Jamie Mackie is set to make his Scottish Debut and Hills make him a 7/2 shot to score first and are offering 15/2 that he scores anytime and Scotland win in Prague. Kenny Miller is the 9/4 favourite to score first and 50/1 to score a hat-trick on what will be his 50th Scottish cap.

The next week could go a long way to determine whether Scotland qualify for Euro 2012 and Hills are offering just 13/10 that Scotland get no points against Czech Republic and Spain. They are 33/1 to claim all six points. Scotland are 10/3 to qualify for Euro 2012.

“Scotland have got a very difficult task ahead of them in the next two games and we certainly do not think that they will cause an upset, in what are the two most important games of Craig Levein’s short Scotland career,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Wales are up against it in their bid to qualify for Euro 2012 and William Hill are offering 20/1 that they manage to emerge from the group. Brian Flynn has taken over the Wales job on an interim basis, however Hills are not expecting much of a honeymoon period and are offering just 9/4 that they get no points in the next two games although he is 6/5 to get the job on permanent basis.

Recently crowned Welsh footballer of the year, Gareth Bale, is an 8/1 shot to get the first goal and 11/4 to score anytime.

“Brian Flynn has been entrusted to guide Wales through two very tricky fixtures. Should his side show promise, he could well get the manager’s role permanently,” said spokesman Joe Crilly.

7/4 Wales; 7/4 Bulgaria; 2/1 Draw
7/10 Czech Republic; 9/2 Scotland; 12/5 Draw

The new manager is facing an uphill challenge to get Wales to the European Championships with them priced at 20/1 to qualify for the tournament and 40/1 to win the group.

5/2 Kenny Jackett; 3/1 Brian Flynn; 3/1 Chris Coleman; 6/1 Mark Hughes; 6/1 Ryan Giggs; 9/1 Gary Speed; 10/1 Dean Saunders; 12/1 John Hartson; 14/1 Tony Pulis; 16/1 Martin O’Neill; 18/1 Dave Jones; 20/1 BAR

YOU BET JACKETT SUITS WALES JOB

MILLWALL boss Kenny Jackett has been backed from 20/1 to 5/2 favourite with William Hill to succeed John Toshack as permanent manager of Wales after a flurry of bets of up to £200 (struck at 8/1) a time. ‘Some substantial bets in Wales and Worcester, on what has been a quiet market thus far have sent Jackett’s odds tumbling – it wouldn’t suit us if he were to pocket the job – the stakes weren’t just buttons, we now face a five figure payout after this off the cuff gamble’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. Jackett has leap-frogged Chris Coleman and initial favourite Ryan Giggs in the betting.

WILLIAM HILL…..NEXT PERMANENT WALES MANAGER

Kenny Jackett – 5/2…..Chris Coleman, Brian Flynn – 3/1……Ryan Giggs,Mark Hughes, – 6/1….Gary Speed – 9/1….Martin O’Neill…16/1.

Support For Swiss To Beat England As Hartson Becomes Wales Boss Contender

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

SWISS BACKED TO ROLL OVER ENGLAND

William Hill say punters are placing bigger bets on Switzerland than England to win their Euro qualifier – ‘We have taken bets of 1500 euros and £1200 for the Swiss at 7/2, along with scores of other, smaller bets, while the support for England consists pretty much just of the two £1100 bets we have taken for them at 5/6 – for once, and it is exceedingly rare – we face a much higher liability for England’s opponents and as our book stands pre-kick off the Swiss are likely to be a six figure loser for us, thus enabling us to support England for once – unless there is a late rush of support.’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

William Hill – 7/2 Switzerland; 12/5 draw; England 5/6.

HARTSON FOR WALES?

JOHN Hartson has declared himself a contender for the job of Wales manager, and William Hill now make the fomer Luton Town striker 12/1 seventh favourite for the job, for which Ryan Giggs is 11/4 favourite with Hills also offering 3/1 Brian Flynn; 7/2 Chris Coleman; 6/1 Mark Hughes; 9/1 Gary Speed; 10/1 Dean Saunders. ‘There has been no substantial support for anyone as yet which suggests that noone has yet been directly approached about the role’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
