WHEN WILL 2022 WORLD CUP FINAL BE PLAYED?

WITH CONTROVERSY raging over the choice of Qatar to host the 2022 World Cup, William Hill have opened a book on what month the Final will be played in. ‘The temperatures soar in their summer months, and there is a school of thought suggesting they may try to hold the tournament during one or two of the less steamy months’ – which could clash with the European league season’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

City Favourites For Europa After Easy Victory…tractor Boys Ease Pressure On Keane

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

Manchester City had an easy victory tonight and in the process secured their route into the knock-out stages of the Europa Cup. William Hill make them 9/2 favourites to win the competition. They are also 8/11 to get further in the competition than the only other English side left, Liverpool. The Reds are 2/1 to outdo City.

We now have our four semi finalists for the Carling Cup and who would have thought that Ipswich would reach that round? The Tractor Boys have eased some of the immediate pressure on their manager, Roy Keane by getting that far and his odds to still be there at the start of next season have shortened from 7/2 to 3/1. Ipswich are 12/1 outsiders to win the competition made all the tougher by the fact that they have Arsenal in the next round. The Gunners are 4/7 to win the final at Wembley.

William Hill Odds:

Carling Cup Outright: 4/7 Arsenal; 7/2 Birmingham; 4/1 West Ham; 12/1 Ipswich

Europa Outright: 9/2 Man City; 9/1 Liverpool; 11/1 Porto; 12/1 CSKA Moscow; 12/1 Zenit St Petersburg; 16/1 Bayer Leverkusen; 16/1 Sevilla; 20/1 Atletico Madrid; 20/1 Villarreal; 25/1 Stuttgart; 25/1 Dortmund; 33/1 BAR

Liverpool/Manchester City Match Bet (Who Will Go Further?): 8/11 Man City; 2/1 Liverpool; 7/2 Tie

3/1 Roy Keane is still in charge at the start of next season

£2 Punter Wins Big On Hammers Hammering United

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

Although plenty of people would have been expecting Arsenal to triumph against Wigan tonight, not many people were expecting West Ham to win and even fewer predicted 4-0 – with the biggest bet placed being £2 at William Hill, with odds of 125/1. Hills are offering 5/2 that tonight’s victors meet each other in the final with Arsenal the 8/11 favourites to win the tournament and West Ham 9/2.

“Upton Park was bouncing tonight, not least in the seat that housed the loyal Hammer who placed £2 at 125/1 on 4-0. There was not many people who risked even £1 on such an unlikely outcome,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Ipswich are the only non-Premier League side left but even that may not be able to save Roy Keane’s job should they be humiliated tomorrow against West Brom. Hills are offering 4/1 that Keano leaves his job between the end of the West Brom game and the start of the Swansea game.

William Hill Carling Cup Odds:

Outright: 8/11 Arsenal; 9/2 West Ham; 13/2 Aston Villa; 9/1 West Brom; 9/1 Birmingham; 20/1 Ipswich

5/2 West Ham/Arsenal Final

4/1 Roy Keane leaves his job between the end of the West Brom game and the start of the Swansea game

Double Hat-trick 33/1 As Dimmi Bags Landmark Goals…tractor Boys Keane To ‘swich Manager

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

Double Hat-Trick 33/1 As Dimmi Bags Landmark Goals

Dimitar Berbatov joined a select group of strikers who have bagged five goals in just one Premier League game and William Hill are offering 14/1 that five or more are scored by any player this season. For any player to bag a double hat-trick or more this season is 33/1 with Hills. Berbatov is now the 7/2 joint favourite with Carlos Tevez to be the Premier League’s leading scorer.

“Berbatov was absolutely outstanding on Saturday and his achievement came just a year and three days after Jermaine Defoe scored five against Wigan. With the ever increasing importance being placed on goal difference, it could well be sooner rather than later that we see a double hat-trick,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Tractor Boys Keane To ‘Swich Manager

Roy Keane is facing a difficult task winning friends at Ipswich after his side slumped to a disappointing derby defeat. William Hill are now offering 1/7 that he has left his position by the start of next season. The Tractor Boys are facing two difficult tasks this week in the shape of West Brom and Swansea and Keane is 7/2 to have gone by midnight on Sunday which, coincidentally is the same price as Ipswich losing both games.

“Despite a promising start to the season, Keane’s side appear to have been treading water of late. By his own admission, he said he would stand down after two years if he did not reach the Premier League and it looks like he will have to honour that promise,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Football Specials:

14/1 Five Goal Premier League Salvo scored this season (five or more)
33/1 Premier League Double Hat-Trick scored this season (five or more)

Premier League Leading Scorer: 7/2 Carlos Tevez; 7/2 Dimitar Berbatov; 9/2 Didier Drogba; 7/1 Fernando Torres; 12/1 Andrew Carroll; 14/1 Darren Bent; 16/1 Marouane Chamakh; 16/1 Florent Malouda; 20/1 Wayne Rooney; 20/1 Asamoah Gyan; 25/1 Nicolas Anelka; 25/1 Rafael Van der Vaart; 25/1 Johan Elmander; 33/1 BAR

1/7 Keane is gone by first game of next season (4/1 he is still at Ipswich)
7/2 Keane has gone by midnight on Sunday
7/2 Ipswich to lose against West Brom AND Swansea

2018: 1/1 Russia; 13/8 England; 11/4 Portugal & Spain; 50/1 Belgium & Holland

Would You Adam And Eve It? Blackpool Braced To Lose Star Player

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

Following news that the Premier League have ruled in favour of Charlie Adam over his contract dispute, William Hill have opened a book on where he will be playing after the January transfer window. He is odds-on at 2/7 to remain at Blackpool after the League announced that the breach was not sufficient for him to end his contract. However, should enough bridges have been burned between club and player, the odds suggest that Everton will be sniffing around at 7/2. Liverpool are priced at 9/1 to sign the player in January.

“There is no doubting that Adam has been the stand out player for Blackpool this season and should this contract dispute have damaged relations between club and player, there will be no lack of clubs lining up to take him away from Bloomfield Road,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Blackpool are 5/6 to be relegated this season and 2000/1 to win the league.

William Hill Charlie Adam:

Charlie Adam’s Club After January Transfer Window: 2/7 Blackpool; 7/2 Everton; 9/1 Liverpool; 10/1 Bolton; 11/1 Rangers; 14/1 Aston Villa; 14/1 Stoke (others on request)
