Arsenal And Barcelona Brighten Up Dull Champions League Draw

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

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE LATEST ODDS………………………………………

The Champions League draw was made today and the undoubted tie of the round sees Arsenal facing Spanish Champions Barcelona. William Hill are offering 11/4 that Arsenal qualify while Barca are 1/4 to get through to the last eight. Chelsea are the shortest priced English side to qualify and they are just 1/20 to overcome FC Copenhagen.

Hills are offering 5/4 that Chelsea are the furthest progressing English side, with Manchester United 15/8. Being drawn against Barcelona in the next round has hampered Arsenal’s chances of progressing the furthest with Hills easing their odds from 7/2 to 11/2 to hold the English bragging rights. Arsenal have also drifted in the outright Champions League market from 11/1 to 20/1, while Barcelona are the 9/4 favourites. Chelsea are the 4/1 third favourites and are the shortest priced English team.

“The draw has not really inspired too much in the way of stand-out ties, except, of course, the Arsenal/Barcelona tie. It is sure to spark the imagination of our punters and could generate one of the highest turnovers for a Champions League game this year,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Hills are offering 15/2 that all four English teams progress to the quarter finals and 5/1 that this year’s final is contested between two English teams. Conversely 100/1 is the price for all four teams to be defeated in their last 16 ties.

William Hill have City 9/5 to secure victory in Italy, while Juventus are 6/4 to win. City have not scored many goals recently, however, they have also conceded very few and Hills make them 3/1 to win to nil.

Money Bags Manchester City are all but certain to bolster their squad in January and Edin Dzeko, the Wolfsburg captain is Even money to make the move to Eastlands during the winter transfer window. Luis Suarez is 6/4 and the highly rated and much coveted Gary Cahill is 2/1.

The current news stories surrounding Carlos Tevez have sparked rumours as to where he will be plying his trade come the first day of next season, with Spain the 11/10 favourite. Manchester City are 6/4 to hold his registration, while any other English club is 6/1. There is as much chance of Tevez playing in South America as there is of him officially retiring, with both options priced at 10/1.

Despite the Carlos Tevez controversies, William Hill are not expecting them to impinge too greatly on Manchester City’s League aspirations, with fourth or fifth place looking the most likely, with both priced at 9/4. City are 6/1 to win the Premier League.

6/4 Juventus; 9/5 Manchester City; 9/4 Draw

Where Will Carlos Tevez Be On The First Game Of Next Season: 11/10 Spanish Club; 6/4 Man City; 6/1 Any UK Club; 10/1 Any South American Club; 10/1 Officially Retired (no registration held)

Is Martin Off On His Jol-ies To The North West Or Will Alan Curb His Enthusiasm?

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

Despite the Venky’s Group maintaining that they want to appoint an English manager to replace Sam Allardyce at Blackburn, it is Dutchman Martin Jol who heads the betting at William Hill at 4/1. He is then followed by a veritable army of British and Irish managers, with Dave Jones and Chris Hughton both 5/1 and Alan Curbishley at 6/1.

“Martin Jol performed well during his time at Tottenham and he is currently out of a job, however, should the fact that he is not British count against him, Dave Jones, Chris Hughton and Alan Curbishley are all waiting in the wings,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Next Blackburn Manager:

4/1 Martin Jol; 5/1 Dave Jones; 5/1 Chris Hughton; 6/1 Alan Curbishley; 7/1 Martin O’Neill; 7/1 Roy Keane; 15/2 Chris Coleman; 9/1 Steve McClaren; 10/1 Phil Brown; 10/1 Sven –Goran Eriksson; 12/1 Diego Maradona; 12/1 Alan Shearer; 14/1 Stuart Pearce; 16/1 David O’Leary; 16/1 Gordon Strachan; 20/1 Paul Jewell; 25/1 Iain Dowie; 25/1 Paul Lambert; 25/1 Ray Wilkins; 25/1 Simon Grayson; 25/1 Steve Clarke; 33/1 Frank Rijkaard; 40/1 Jurgen Klinsmann

Martin Jol Favourite To Succeed Big Sam !

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

JOL-Y GOOD TIMING FOR MARTIN TO ROVE TO BLACKBURN?

WILLIAM HILL report early backing for Martin Jol from 10/1 to 4/1 favourite to succeed Sam Allardyce at Blackburn, following Hill’s hammering by punters who appeared to have got early knowledge of Allardyce’s imminent departure: ‘We saw a sustained gamble on Big Sam to depart from mid afternoon at which point he was a 33/1 shot to be the next boss to go. We saw bets of up to £500 a time and the largest concentration of bets was placed by punters from and in and around the South West London area.’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. ‘Big Sam had been backed down to Evens to be the next manager to depart minutes before it was confirmed he had gone. It is too much of a coincidence for that to have been a genuinely inspired gamble – but that’s the risk you take by pricing up markets of this nature and despite a hefty five figure thumping we’re coming back for more by making Avram Grant odds-on favourite to be the NEXT to go’

CHELSEA 33/1 TO WIN NONE OF THEIR NEXT FIVE LEAGUE GAMES

WILLIAM HILL have opened a book on when Chelsea will next manage to win a Premier League game – and make them 6/5 to win the next one, against Manchester United, but 33/1 to fail to win any of their next five matches. ‘Chelsea’s current League form is threatening to derail their title challenge – and Carlo Ancelotti’s long-term future at the club’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

TEVEZ 5/2 TO QUIT CITY IN JANUARY

CARLOS TEVEZ is 5/2 with William Hill to leave Manchester City during the January transfer window, and 2/7 still to be there when the window closes. They also quote him at Even money still to be a City player on the first day of next season.
And with doubts over Tevez’ City future raging, Hills have lengthened his odds of becoming this season’s Premier League top goalscorer from 7/2 to 9/2.
‘Tevez has already moved around consistently during his time in the Premier League so it cannot be that much of a surprise that he should have itchy feet again, but for anyone fancying him to be top scorer we have enhanced his price to take account of the possibility that he will leave City’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
