Martin Jol Withdraws From Race…dave Jones New Favourite For Fulham Hot Seat

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

The long running saga of who will be the next Fulham manager took yet another turn this morning when Martin Jol admitted he was staying with Ajax. This has seen his odds drift from 1/8 to 25/1 at William Hill in the space of four days. Conversely Hills are facing big liabilities on 5/2 favourite Dave Jones taking the hot seat having previously quoted him at up to 25/1. Sven Goran Eriksson also seems keen on a return to the Premiership and is now the 9/2 second favourite. Alan Curbishley and Bob Bradley are the 9/1 joint third favourites.

“Some far sighted punters could be in for a big windfall, having backed Dave Jones at 25/1, but the likely sticking point could prove to be the issue of compensation to Cardiff City. We are expecting this saga to continue for a little while longer and could still see an outsider take the job,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Odds:

Next Fulham Manager: 5/2 Dave Jones; 9/2 Sven Goran Eriksson; 9/1 Alan Curbishley; 9/1 Bob Bradley; 10/1 Mark Hughes; 10/1 Gianfranco Zola; 12/1 Otmar Hitzfeld; 14/1 Ray Lewington; 14/1 Stuart Baxter; 16/1 Lee Clark; 20/1 Bar

Spanish Odds On Drift As Punters Go Dutch

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

*********WILLIAM HILL WORLD CUP SPECIALS**********

SPANISH ODDS ON THE DRIFT AS PUNTERS GO DUTCH
WITH PUNTERS APPARENTLY reluctant to back Spain to beat the Dutch in the World Cup Final, William Hill are to lengthen their 90 minutes odds to an industry-leading 6/5 for online and telephone clients from 7a.m on Friday morning. ‘Despite already taking bets of £10,000, £25,000 and £50,000 for Spain to win the World Cup, we cannot now seem to persuade punters to back Spain to beat the Dutch in 90 minutes, so, as they are a seven figure winner for us we are trying to tempt punters to support them – hopefully Paul the Octopus will tip them to help us out!’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

A William Hill Manchester betting shop client stands to collect £424,000 if David Villa, now 8/11 favourite to do so, ends up as tournament top scorer after placing a £30,000 double on Holland to win their Group at 4/7, with Villa at 8/1.

Another Hill’s shop punter in Essex placed a £250 treble on Rafa Nadal and Serena Williams to win their respective Wimbledon singles tournaments, running on to Holland – and will collect £30,000 if the Dutch oblige.

‘It has been a good World Cup for bookies thus far, with 52% favs winning , 27% draws and 21% underdogs, which doesn’t sound that great, except that the high turnover matches have tended to go our way – not least the England matches, and the Germany-Spain semi in which there were bets of 500,000 and 75,000 euros on a German win’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WILLIAM HILL now make Spain 4/7 favourites to win the World Cup, with Holland offered at 6/4.
Hills make Spain 6/5 to win in 90m with Holland 13/5 and the draw 11/5. (PRICES AVAILABLE FROM 7A.M.)

Hills offer 9/2 that the Final will go to a penalty shoot-out; Holland are 10/1 to win by that method, with Spain also quoted at 10/1. Holland are 11/1 to win in extra time, with Spain 9/1 to do likewise.

DAVID VILLA is 8/11 to end up as World Cup top scorer with Hills who also offer 5/2 Sneijder; 4 Klose; 14 Muller; 16 Forlan; 100 Suarez.

VAN BOMMEL FOR BOOKING?
WILLIAM HILL have cut their price for Van Bommel to be booked during the Final (90m play) from 9/4 to 13/8 after taking a string of bets of up to £600 a time on the tough tackling Dutchman to fall foul of the referee.

REPEAT FOR PUYOL?
AFTER Carles Puyol headed Spain to victory against Germany, William Hill offer 25/1 that he will score again from a header during 90m play of the Final.

FERNANDO PENALTY?
WILLIAM HILL offer 12/1 that Torres will win a penalty.(90m play)
ARJEN ROBBEN is 13/2 with Hills to score from outside the box.(90m play)

BOOKIES BACK KING LEDLEY TO GO THE DISTANCE

WILLIAM HILL have opened a book on how many minutes’ play Ledley King will chalk up during the World Cup and offer 15/8 that he’ll play the equivalent of five or more 90 games. ‘Ledley looks to be in pole position to replace Rio and could easily figure in every game if he can stay fit’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

0 – 90….4/1
91 – 180….5/1
181 – 270…6/1

HAVING BEEN 1/5 favourite to start in goal against USA just a few days ago, David James has drifted to 6/5 to get the nod from Capello, with Robert Green now 13/8 and Joe Hart down from 8/1 to 5/2. ‘It is unprecedented that with just a few days to go before the opening game of a World Cup we still have no eral idea who the England manager will select in goal’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

BOOKIES PANIC OVER ROONEY INJURY

WILLIAM HILL have lengthened England’s World Cup odds from 5/1 to 6/1 in anticipation of Wayne Rooney’s in jury affecting his chances of playing in the finals. ‘If there is the sl,ightest chance of Rooney being absent it definitely affects England’s chances in the minds of punters’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Wayne 13/8 To Come Back For City Match

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

13/8 to be back for Man City:
WHEN WILL WAYNE RETURN?

WILLIAM HILL have opened a book on when Wayne Rooney will next play for Manchester United, and make their forthcoming away game with Manchester City their 13/8 favourite, while offering 40/1 that it won’t be until their last league game, at home to Stoke and 50/1 that he will only return in the Champions League Final. ‘At the moment noone is too sure when Wayne will be back in a United shirt, but most will be hoping it will be sooner, rather than later, although non-United supporting England fans may be happy the longer a rest he gets.’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

William Hill…..When will Wayne Rooney next play some part in a game for Man Utd:

Chelsea H…33/1
Bayern Munich H…7/1
Blackburn A…15/8
Man City A…13/8
Champions League Semi Final… 1st Leg 9/2
Tottenham…. H9/1
Champions League Semi Final 2nd Leg…16/1
Sunderland …A25/1
Stoke H…40/1
Champions League Final – 50/1
None of the above ….50/1

UNITED TITLE ODDS ON THE DRIFT

WILLIAM HILL have lengthened Manchester United’s Premier League title odds from 5/6 to 10/11 following Wayne Rooney’s injury – ‘We’ve not laid a serious bet for them to win the title since the injury’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills make Chelsea 6/4 second favourites, with Arsenal 5/1.
HILLS HAVE CUT ENGLAND FROM 6/1 TO 5/1 TO WIN THE WORLD CUP. ‘We lengthened England’s World Cup odds by a point after the injury was reported, but now that he looks likely to be fit in plenty of time for the World Cup we have taken more cash for England at 6/1, so shortened them back up to 5/1′ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe – but it certainly shows that punters believe England’s World Cup chances are directly related to Wayne’s fitness.’
