Giroud 20/1 To Top Score In Debut Season

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

Olivier Giroud has signed for Arsenal today and the French striker is 20/1 with William Hill to take the English game by storm and be this season’s top goal scorer in the Premier League with Arsenal 6/1 to be crowned champions in May.

Giroud is Arsene Wenger’s second signing in attack this summer with Lukas Podolski already signed before Euro 2012. Podolski is 6/4 to net more goals than Giroud in his debut season with Giroud at 1/2 to outscore his German counterpart.

With all the new signings in attack thus far for The Gunners, the future of Robin Van Persie still stands in the balance. Hill’s believe the Arsenal captain could go either way with it being 5/6 he stays and 5/6 he doesn’t. If he does go, Manchester City are 6/4 to pick up the Dutchman. Juventus are 3/1, Manchester United are 6/1 and Real Madrid are quoted at 10/1.

Despite the positive signings at the Emirates, the Gunners are fancied to end up trophy less come May. William Hill have them at 1/4 to pick up no trophies, 25/1 for a Premier League and FA Cup double and 1000/1 for a clean sweep of the FA Cup, the Capital One Cup, the Premier League and the Champions League.

“Giroud is a positive signing from Wenger but whether Van Persie stays or not is vital. A bit of luck, keeping RVP, an injury free campaign and a full return to fitness and form for Jack Wilshere is still needed to convince people that Arsenal are serious challengers,” said William Hill spokesman Mark Young.

You Bet New United Keeper Set To Be A Success And Other Transfer Latest

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

Manchester United’s new keeper, David De Gea is 5/4 with William Hill to concede less than 24 goals during his first season in the Premier League. He is 7/4 to concede 29 or more. Hills also offer 11/10 that he keeps 14 or more clean sheets (4/6 not to).

“De Gea has big boots to fill but the odds suggest that his first season at Old Trafford will be a success,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

In transfer news, it appears that Arsenal face an uphill struggle to keep hold of their two prize assets offering 1/4 that Fabregas leaves the Emirates and 4/6 that Nasri does. According to reports, five clubs have met Santos’ valuation of Neymar and Hills make Real Madrid the 8/11 favourites to capture his signature. Chelsea are the 6/4 second favourites to bag the hottest property in world football. Man City are 11/2, Juventus 9/1 and Anzhi Makhachkala 20/1.

Arsenal appear to be the front runners in capturing Gary Cahill’s signature, with Hills offering 8/11, while Man City are 5/2. Tottenham are 4/1, Liverpool 6/1 and Aston Villa 16/1.

Chelsea Latest

Following Andre Villas-Boas’ first press conference as Chelsea manager Hills offer 9/4 that he will still be at the Bridge in 2015. He is 25/1 to leave in 2011, 4/1 in 2012, 5/2 2013 and 2/1 2014. A clean sweep of four trophies for Chelsea’s new manager next season is 400/1 but a trophyless season is offered at 8/11.

William Hill Odds:

How many league goals will De Gea concede: 5/4 under 24; 2/1 25-28; 7/4 29 or more

Number of De Gea clean sheets in the Premier League: 4/6 Under 13.5; 11/10 Over 13.5

Fabregas to leave Arsenal in summer transfer window: 1/4 yes; 11/4 no

Nasri to leave Arsenal in summer transfer window: 4/6 yes; 11/10 no

Neymar next permanent club: 8/11 Real Madrid; 6/4 Chelsea; 11/2 Man City; 9/1 Juventus; 20/1 Anzhi Makhachkala

Gary Cahill Next Permanent Club: 8/11 Arsenal; 5/2 Man City; 4/1 Tottenham; 6/1 Liverpool; 16/1 Aston Villa

When Will AVB leave Chelsea?
2011 25/1

Punters Celebrate 440/1 Premier League Accumulator… England’s World Cup Bid Going Down The Panorama?

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

Punters Celebrate 440/1 Premier League Accumulator…

William Hill’s ‘Will Both Teams Score’ coupon has proved a staggering success with punters since it was first launched in August 2009. For the first time since the coupon’s inception, Hills have had to pay out on all twenty Premier League teams scoring. Already, from a standing start, the bet regularly takes more money than perennial football favourite – the correct score.

“As the first mainstream bookmaker to offer the bet – and one of the few to offer customers the option of betting on whether individual teams will or will not score, we were optimistic that it would prove popular, but it has exceeded all expectations and is now even out-performing the correct score turnover,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

The bet is not just limited to Premier League fixtures and punters can supplement their selections with games from the top four English divisions as well as SPL and FA Cup ties as well. Despite the fact that Blackburn’s Christopher Samba had a face like thunder when he headed in his consolation goal against Manchester United at the weekend, William Hill punters will have been all smiles as he completed a clean sweep on Saturday. Punters who backed all 20 sides to score will be wanting to kiss Martin Skrtel (although how pleased he will be about it is another matter) who completed the weekend’s scoring by netting at both ends at White Hart Lane!

“This weekend was a real headache for us as the price for all twenty teams to score was over 440/1 but the coupon is proving a real success. Most other bets would have been dead when Blackburn were 7-0 down on Saturday but it still gave our punters something to shout about. We will be hoping for a different outcome this weekend, however, when the price is 555/1 for all 20 to score,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

England’s World Cup Bid Going Down The Panorama?

Panorama are set to broadcast their controversial show on the World Cup bribing scandal tonight despite claims that it could harm England’s bid to host the competition. As it stands Russia are the 4/6 favourites to win the chance to host the 2018 World Cup with England the 9/4 second favourites.

“At the moment England are the second favourites to host the 2018 World Cup but we are fully expecting their odds to change after tonight’s show. Which way they will go is impossible to gauge. Come tomorrow morning, England could either be back in with a shout or out of the running completely,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill World Cup 2018 Bid Odds:

4/6 Russia; 9/4 England; 3/1 Portugal & Spain; 50/1 Belgium & Holland
