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

Liverpool squeaked through into the final of the Carling Cup and unsurprisingly, the Reds are hot favourites to bring the trophy back to Anfield. William Hill make Kenny Dalglish’s men 1/7 to lift the trophy and 2/5 to win the final in 90 minutes. Cardiff are the outsiders and they are 4/1 to lift the trophy and 13/2 to win in 90 minutes. Hills think that Liverpool are such favourites that they have already started taking bets on how many goals Liverpool score on the day and make one the 15/8 favourite although they are 5/2 to score three or more on the day while Cardiff are 4/6 to score no goals.

“Whoever won between Liverpool and Manchester City were always going to be favourites to lift the Cup and we think the cup engraver may as well start practicing writing Liverpool now,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Andy Carroll found himself on the bench against City tonight and William Hill make him 5/6 to fail to start against Manchester United at the weekend.

Palace 10/1 For Carling Cup Glory On Bad British Night In Europe

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

Manchester United were unceremoniously dumped out of the Carling Cup by 7/1 (price to qualify) Crystal Palace and The Eagles are 10/1 to win the Cup with William Hill and 5/4 to qualify from their Semi Final against Cardiff (who are 4/7 to reach Wembley). Manchester City are clear favourites to win the tournament at 5/6 ahead of their Semi Final opponents Liverpool at 6/4.

“With one Championship side guaranteed to be in the Final at Wembley, the two legged Semi between Palace and Cardiff will be an undoubtedly dogged encounter,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “We do think, however, that whoever wins the other Semi will be in with a fantastic chance of lifting the first Silverware of the year.”

A Tottenham defeat was the culmination for a poor night of British football in the Europa League and their odds of winning the competition have drifted from 9/1 to 20/1 to win the competition. Birmingham and Celtic have also drifted from 50/1 to 100/1 (Birmingham) and 100/1 to 125/1(Celtic). All eyes now turn to the two sides who are playing on Thursday to carry the torch for British football with Stoke the Even money favourites to progress furthest of all the Home Nations sides with Fulham the 15/8 second favourites. Spurs are 7/2 with Birmingham 16/1 and Celtic 20/1.

British Side to progress furthest: 1/1 Stoke; 15/8 Fulham; 7/2 Tottenham; 16/1 Birmingham; 20/1 Celtic

Europa League Winner: 10/1 PSG; 10/1 Atletico Madrid; 14/1 Schalke; 14/1 PSV; 14/1 Athletic Bilbao; 14/1 Sporting Lisbon; 16/1 Stoke; 20/1 Tottenham; 20/1 Lazio; 20/1 Braga; 20/1 Udinese; 25/1 Twente; 25/1 Rubin Kazan; 28/1 Fulham; 33/1 BAR

4/7 Cardiff v Crystal P 5/4
