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

Manchester City are 2/5 with William Hill to win this year’s FA Cup and are 5/6 to win during 90 minutes. Whatever the result, however, Stoke have qualified for the Europa League, however, victory in the tournament does not appear likely, with the Potters offered at 80/1. A more likely outcome is an exit in the qualifying stages, offered at 5/4. Stoke’s manager Tony Pulis is 4/1 to be named LMA manager of the year. Manchester City, on the other hand, have qualified for the Champions League and Hills are betting on who Mancini will reinforce his squad with first in the summer, making Gary Cahill the 6/1 favourite, followed by Leighton Baines at 8/1. Carlos Tevez had a set-to with Mancini during the Tottenham game and Hills now make him odds on, at 8/13 to have left City by the first game of next season.

“With both sides competing for their first major trophy since the seventies, City appear to have the upper hand,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “But it could be argued that with European football secured for next season, the hard work begins in earnest after the FA Cup Final.”

William Hill Scottish Junior Cup Odds

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

WILLIAM HILL SCOTTISH JUNIOR CUP ODDS……..
BACK TO THE FUTURE
Linlithgow Rose are aiming for their 4th Junior Cup win, their last being in 2007 while Largs Thistle are aiming to win it for the second time, their only other win being in 1994. Its Largs’ last victory in 1994 that starts to throw up some coincendences…..
In 1994 Dundee Utd won the Scottish Cup for thier first time in their history – last weekend they won it for the second time.
In 1994 there was a World Cup taking place, won by Brazil – fast forward 16 years a World Cup takes place in South Africa.
In 1994 Chelsea reached the FA Cup Final albeit losing to Man Utd – in 2010 they again reached the final but this time won it.
In 1994 Inter Milan reached a European Final – winning the UEFA Cup – on Saturday they play in the Champions League Final.
In 1994 Walter Smith won the Manager of the Year Award – he won the title again this season.
If you believe in omens then it looks like Largs only have to turn up on Sunday as it’s in the stars.
William Hill have priced up some specials for those looking to cash in on the superstition –
Largs to win the Junior Cup, Inter Milan to win the Champions League and Brazil to win the World Cup pays 25/1 or
if you want to follow it exactly to the past you can have 14/1 on Largs and Brazil.
All is not lost though if you follow Linlithgow as in the year of their last victory Chelsea won the FA Cup and a side from Milan (albeit AC) competed in the Champions League Final.

Will Roy Stay At The Cottage?

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

AFTER his success with Fulham over the past couple of seasons, fans of the club will hope Roy Hodgson remains there at the start of next season, and William Hill believe he will, quoting 1/2 that he is still there, 6/4 that he has moved on. ‘Roy has done a great job and may feel he can do even better next season – or might believe the time is right to go while he is attracting plaudits’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Roy Hodgson to be Fulham manager on the 1st day of 2010/11 season: 1/2 YES 6/4 NO
WILL JT SEE THE FA CUP FINAL OUT IF HE STARTS?
WITH JOHN TERRY’S fitness a doubt as the Cup Final approaches, William Hill have opened a book on how long the Chelsea skipper will play in the game should he start, and make the whole of the 90 minutes their 1/6 favourite. ‘Terry is a Chelsea talisman and he won’t want to miss the celebrations if they win so will probably have to be dragged off , but if he is injured he’ll be aware of the imminent World Cup and won’t want to exacerbate the situation’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
How long will John Terry play in the FA Cup final (if starting the match):

How Long Will John Terry Play In The FA Cup Final*: 14/1 0-15, 25/1 16-30, 16/1 31-Half Time, 20/1 46-60, 14/1 61-75, 8/1 76-89, 1/6 Complete the match

*Terry must start the match or bets void (90 minute betting only.)

Role Up For The £10 Million FA Final!

William Hill are expecting industry turnover of ten million pounds plus for the FA Cup final as the Big punters are expected to come steaming in for 1/6 favourites Chelsea. “On paper the game is a mismatch but we think our high rollers will come steaming in for Chelsea to bolster their World Cup betting accounts,” said Hill’s spokesman Rupert Adams.

One Hills punter from Hampshire stands to win £3000 should Portsmouth win, having backed them at 150/1 with £20 early on in the tournament but it is the Chelsea double that Hills fear with some massive liabilities.

FA CUP Final:

90 Minutes: 1/6 Chelsea, 12/1 Portsmouth, 13/2 Draw
To Win In Extra Time: 12/1 Chelsea, 28/1 Portsmouth
To Win On Penalties: 22/1 Chelsea, 28/1 Portsmouth

Chelsea 8-0: 150/1
