Michael’s G-owen Nowhere…125/1 For 2011/12 Golden Boot

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

Following the news that Michael Owen has put pen to paper on a new one year deal at Manchester United, William Hill are offering 7/4 that he scores less than two Premier League goals and 6/4 that he bags four or more. He is 125/1 to get next season’s golden boot and 20/1 to not play a single minute of Premier League football. He is 5/2 to start one or no Premier League games next season, while he is 9/4 to start six or more.

“In one of the more surprising football stories of the last few days, Owen has signed for another year at United, but Fergie obviously has a role for him and it will be interesting to see how he is utilised by United,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Michael Owen is 7/1 to make an appearance for England in a Euro 2012 Qualifier or Finals match.

Owen’s signature may be the clearest indication yet that Dimitar Berbatov will be heading for the exit and William Hill are now offering odds on where the mercurial Bulgarian will be plying his trade on the first game of next season. He is 11/4 to still be at Manchester United and 7/2 to be playing in the Bundesliga. He is 4/1 to be at Newcastle next season and the same price to be playing in Serie A. He is 25/1 to make the short trip to Eastlands to join United’s arch rivals.

Michael Owen Premier League Starts:
0-1 5/2
2-3 2/1
4-5 11/4
6 + 9/4

Total Michael Owen Premier League Goals
Under 2 7/4
2-3 7/4
4 or more 6/4

125/1 Michael Owen to win the golden boot
20/1 Not to play a single minute of Premier League football for Manchester United
7/1 Play in an England Euro 2012 Qualifier or Finals match

Where will Dimitar Berbatov be playing come the first game of next season: 11/4 Manchester United; 7/2 Bundesliga; 4/1 Newcastle; 4/1 Serie A; 7/1 Tottenham; 8/1 La Liga; 10/1 Sunderland; 16/1 Liverpool; 20/1 Chelsea; 25/1 Arsenal; 25/1 Manchester City

ENGLAND 9/4 TO WIN LAST THREE QUALIFIERS

WILLIAM HILL have made England 9/4 to win their final three Euro qualifying games – and offer 5/6 that man of the match Ashley Young will start the next Euro qualifier and 10/1 that he will be the leading England scorer in qualifying games. ‘In Rooney’s absence, the likes of Bent and Young had a chance to present the case for becoming automatic choices, but the jury is out on how convincing they were, although Young certainly made an early impact when he scored’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

ENGLAND WIN DELIGHTS BOOKIES

UNUSUALLY, bookmakers were delighted with an England victory. ‘The majority of the corrrect score bets we took were for victories of 4-0 and upwards, so we are relieved that the goals petered out at two. Usually an England win equals bookie gloom, but we got off relatively lightly this time, particularly as a fair few punters fancied an upset win for Wales’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills make Jack Wilshere a 2/5 chance to start the next qualifier against Bulgaria.

England 14/1 to win Euro 2012, but there’s a catch!
WILL FABIO KEEP FAITH WITH WALES WINNERS?

WILLIAM HILL have opened a book on how many of those who started against Wales for England will also be in the starting line up for their next Euro qualifier against Switzerland, for which Rooney will be suspended. ‘You’d have to expect that Capello will look to make changes as the display against Wales was functional rather than inspired’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
AND HILLS OFFER 5/6 THAT CAPELLO WILL CHANGE ALL ELEVEN OF HIS STARTING LINE UP FOR THE GHANA GAME ON TUESDAY, 5/6 THAT HE KEEPS AT LEAST ONE PLAYER. ENGLAND ARE 1/2 WITH HILLS TO BEAT GHANA WHO ARE 9/2 WITH THE DRAW 13/5.

YOUNG AT HEART OF TRANSFER RIDDLE?

ASTON VILLA winger Ashley Young has been linked with a number of clubs, but William Hill, who have opened a book on who he will be playing for on the first day of next season make Villa 6/4 favourites. ‘Villa will no doubt make strenuous efforts to keep hold of Young, and if they finish the season strongly there could be a chance that he will stay, but on current form one would expect him to think seriously about moving – there will be no shortage of interested observers watching his situation’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Wales Lengthened As England Are Baled Out…has Jack The Lad Spelled The End For Lamps?

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

Following the news that Gareth Bale has pulled out of the Wales squad to face England, William Hill have shortened England, from 4/9 to 2/5, to win the match at the Millennium Stadium on Saturday. Wales are now 15/2, having been 6/1, while the draw is 10/3.

“It goes to show how important a player Gareth Bale is for Wales. Not even Ryan Giggs in his pomp withdrawing from the squad would have affected the odds this much,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Jack Wilshere looks set to start ahead of Frank Lampard in the Wales game but Hills feel that this is just a small blip and have Lamps as the 11/10 favourite to start more Euro 2012 qualifiers than either Steven Gerrard or Jack Wilshere. Hills also offer 5/4 that he plays all five of England’s remaining Euro qualifiers.

“There has been a great deal of discussion over the years about accommodating both Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard in the centre of midfield, but the odds appear to suggest that the experiment will continue until at least the start of Euro 2012,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Wales / England Odds:

90 Minutes: 15/2 Wales; 2/5 England; 10/3 Draw

How Many More Euro Qualifying Games Will Frank Lampard Start: 10/1 None; 20/1 One; 16/1 Two; 7/2 Three; 2/1 Four; 5/4 All Five

Who Will Start More Qualifying Games In 2011: 11/10 Frank Lampard; 5/4 Gerrard; 4/1 Jack Wilshere

Frank Lampard To Quit International Football In 2011: 7/2 Yes; 1/6 No

Matt Jarvis To Play Any Part In Euro 2011 Qualification: 8/11 Yes; 1/1 No

David Beckham To Play Any Part In Euro 2011 Qualification: 9/4 Yes; 1/3 No

Carlo odds-on to leave Bridge before next term:
WILL HOULLIER AND ANCELOTTI MAKE IT TO NEXT SEASON?

WITH REPORTS that Carlo Ancelotti is set to leave Chelsea in the summer regardless of whether they win either or both of the Premier and Champions Leagues, William Hill quote the Blues’ boss at Even mone still to be in charge on the first day of next season, but odds-on at 8/11 not to be.’It would be a real shock were Ancelotti to win the Champions League, yet still be sacked’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

And Hills have also cut their odds for Gerard Houllier to be the next Premier League manager to leave his club this season from 6/1 to 7/2 – and the Villa boss is 6/5 no longer to be at the club on the first day of next season, but 8/13 to survive. ‘Houllier has yet to convince the fans he has come to terms with the job at Villa and with relegation threatening he is on shaky ground’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
