GAMBLE ON WOLFSBURG TO BEAT DEPLETED UNITED

WILLIAM HILL have shortened their odds for Wolfsburg to beat Manchester United in their Tuesday night Champions League clash from 5/4 to 11/10 after reports that United will be without 15 first team players. ‘We have taken a flurry of four figure bets for Wolfsburg following the news that United will be well below strength and that Alex Ferguson doesn’t seem to be worried whether they finish first or second in the Group. We’re taking very little serious money for United, which is most unusual’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills currently offer 11/10 Wolfsburg; 12/5 draw; 12/5 Manchester United.

YOU BET MOYES SAFER THAN BENITEZ, DESPITE DEFEAT

WILLIAM HILL rate relegation threatened Everton boss David Moyes as being safer in his job than under pressure Rafa Benitez at Liverpool.
Hills offer 1/6 that Moyes will still be manager on the first day of next season, but just 4/7 that Benitez will be at Liverpool.Moyes is 7/2 to be gone by then, with Benitez just 5/4. ‘Although both sides have been very disappointing in different ways this season, we can’t see Everton turning on Moyes, while Benitez has already seen his side crash out of the Champions League and looks to have his work cut out to get them into the top four this term’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘Which is why we rate Benitez as more vulnerable than Moyes.’
HILLS OFFER 11/2 THAT TORRES WILL NO LONGER BE A LIVERPOOL PLAYER ON THE FIRST DAY OF NEXT SEASON, 1/10 THAT HE WILL.
EVERTON ARE NOW 16/1 TO BE RELEGATED THIS SEASON WITH HILLS, WHILE LIVERPOOL ARE 8/11 TO FNISH IN THE TOP FOUR, EVENS NOT TO.

WILLIAM HILL OFFER 4/1 THAT EVERTON AND LIVERPOOL WILL BE GROUND-SHARING BY THE END OF THE 2014-15 SEASON.

SPARKY FLAME DIMMING?

WILLIAM HILL offer 11/10 that Mark Hughes will no longer be Manchester City boss at the end of the season, 4/6 that he will still there.

LIVERPOOL have been backed from 8/1 to 9/2 with William Hill to make it through to the next stage of the Champions League following their disastrous draw with Lyon last time out. ‘The extraordinary belief in Liverpool’s ability to turn inevitable defeat into victory in the Champions League can be the only reason that we have seen a sustained gamble on what looks to be a remote chance of progress’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Liverpool 5/1 For Euro Glory As Rio 7/1 To Quit United

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

Reds backed from 8/1 to 11/2 to make next stage:
LIVERPOOL 5/1 FOR EUROPEAN GLORY

WILLIAM HILL make Liverpool 5/1 for European glory this season – by winning the Europa League rather than the Champions League. ‘We believe Liverpool’s best chance of silverware this season is probably in the Europa League as they look unlikely to make it through to the next stage of the Champions League’ said William Hill spokesman Graham Sharpe. Hills currently offer 1/4 that Liverpool will win nothing this season, 11/4 that they manage to lift a trophy. Hills also make Liverpool 11/10 to finish outside the top four this season in the Premiership.
But some punters believe Liverpool can still make it through, and Hills have had to cut their odds from 8/1 to 11/2 to get through to the next stage of the Champions League, making them 1/10 not to. They are 66/1 to LOSE their final two Group games, and 8/11 to win both.’Optimisim is alive and well at Anfield to judge by the support for Liverpool to make it into the next stage of the competition’ said Sharpe.
Hills now make Rafa Benitez 6/4 from 9/4 to be gone from the club by the end of the season (1/2 to survive). He is also 12/1 fourth favourite to be the next Prem manager to leave his club in Hill’s market, which excludes Phil Brown. ‘Rafa went from hero to almost zero in the space of minutes in the Lyon game, and they will do well to lift themselves from a setback like that’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

IS RIO UNITED FUTURE UNDER THREAT?
WITH RIO FERDINAND under an injury cloud, William Hill are offering 7/1 that he will no longer be a Man U player at the start of next season. ‘Sir Alex has shown in the past that he can be ruthless when players lose form, and if Rio cannot shake off his injury problems, his Old Trafford future could come into question.’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills still make Rio a virtual certainty to make England’s World Cup squad, at 1/8 – but offer 7/2 that he does not start the first game at the finals.

LIVERPOOL AND RAFA ON BRINK

LIVERPOOL’S chances of progressing in the Champions League suffered a hammer blow as Lyon scored a late equaliser, and William Hill now make them 8/1 to go through from their Group (1/20 not to), and 40/1 to win the tournament, while Hills now make Rafa Benitez 6/4 from 9/4 to be gone from the club by the end of the season (1/2 to survive). ‘Rafa went from hero to almost zero in the space of minutes and Liverpool will do well to lift themselves from a setback like this’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Liverpool 10/1 To Lose 10 As Rio World Cup Odds Lengthen And Brown Odds On For Chop

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

10/1 LIVERPOOL TO LOSE TEN OR MORE PREM GAMES

WITH LIVERPOOL already beaten five times in the Premier League, William Hill are betting on how many matches they will lose in the division by the end of the season, and make 7 their 15/8 favourite, also offering 8- 9/4; 9- 7/2; 6- 5/1; 10+ – 10/1; 5- 14/1.
And with Liverpool also 8/13 to go out of the Champions League at the current stage with Hills, who make them 6/5 to progress, Rafa Benitez is also coming under pressure, with Hills making him 9/4 to be gone by the end of the season, but 1/3 still to be boss. ‘It is difficult to see Liverpool avoiding any more Premier League defeats, and with five already on the board we suspect out 10/1 for 10 or more defeats to be a popular offer’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘And there is more backing for Rafa to depart before the end of the campaign, rather than to remain’.

RIO SPECULATION SEES WORLD CUP START ODDS LENGTHEN

AS SPECULATION mounts over Rio Ferdinand’s fitness, William Hill have lengthened their odds about him starting England’s first World Cup match from 1/7 to 1/6, and shortened the odds for him to miss out from 4/1 to 7/2. He is now down from 10/1 to 7/1 not to be selected for the World Cup squad, and 1/16 to be included. ‘The longer the uncertainty continues, the more money we’ll take for him to fail to make the starting line up, or even the squad’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

BROWN STILL ON BRINK, SAY BOOKIES

DESPITE suggestions that Phil Brown’s future as Hull boss will be guaranteed by the club’s new chairman, William Hill give him little chance of seeing the season out as manager and offer 1/12 that he will go before the end of the campaign and 6/1 that he is still there on the final day.

Brown ‘ Managerial Dead Man Walking ‘

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

BROWN IS ‘MANAGERIAL DEAD MAN WALKING’

HULL boss Phil Brown is 1/12 with William Hill to fail to see out the season with his club, and 6/1 to do so – ‘He is the managerial equivalent of a dead man walking after the defeat by Burnley’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. And Hills now make Rafa Benitez 9/4 to fail to see out the season at Liverpool, and 1/3 to survive – ‘Liverpool’s season looks likely to stand or fall on whether they can get through to the next stage of the Champions League – and so might Rafa’s future’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

TITLE ODDS

CHELSEA are now 5/4 favourites to win the Premiership title with William Hill, who make Manchester United 9/4 second favourites – and offer 11/4 that Chelsea finish top with United runners-up, and 4/1 that it ends vice versa.
Hills make Arsenal 10/3 third favourites for the title with Man City 11/1; Liverpool 20/1; Spurs 100/1; Villa 200/1.
HILLS NOW OFFER 6/4 THAT THE BIG 4 END UP THE TOP 4, 1/2 THAT THEY DO NOT.

WITHOUT BIG 4

WILLIAM HILL make Man City 2/5 favourites to finish top of their ‘Without the Big 4’ market and also offer 7/2 Spurs; 11/2 Villa; 20 Everton; 33 Sunderland.

You Bet Big Four Era Is Coming To Close

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

YOU BET BIG FOUR ERA IS COMING TO CLOSE

WILLIAM HILL have opened a book on which of the ‘Big 4 Bosses’ will leave his club first, and on when one of the four will eventually depart – making Rafa Benitez and 2010 respectively the favourites.

‘WITH ALL OF THE BIG Four Clubs and their bosses beginning to feel a little pressure, either from fans because of their own performances on behalf of their clubs, or by the shadow of Big 4 wannabes like Man City, Spurs, Villa and Everton closing in on their private club of four, it feels as though an era may be drawing to a close’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. ‘We think Rafa is in genuine danger of departing by the end of the season, and one or two of his Big 4 counterparts clearly can’t go on much longer as they are already rivalling the Rolling Stones for longevity. The betting on whether the Big 4 will still dominate the Top 4 at the end of the season or not is also very close’.

Big Four Bosses: Who Will Go First?
Rafa Benitez11/10
Alex Ferguson9/4
Carlo Ancelotti7/2
Arsene Wenger9/2
HILLS MAKE RAFA 5/4 to go before the end of the season, 4/7 not to.

Big 4 to be Top 4 at end of season – 8/11 yes; Evens no.

WILLIAM HILL offer 11/4 about an all Premiership Champions League Final, and 13/8 that NO Prem team will make it to the Final. Chelsea are now 11/8 favourites with Hills to go furthest of the Prem teams with Man U 13/8; Arsenal 7/2 and Liverpool 8/1. ‘Apart from Liverpool the Premiership clubs all look like qualifying comfortably’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
