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

Manchester United and Tottenham both secured victory in Europe tonight and in the process secured their places in the last 16 of the Champions’ League. Wayne Rooney scored the only goal of the evening as Manchester United defeated Rangers and bookmakers William Hill have had to pay out a high five figure sum because of it.

“We are not feeling so smug tonight as it would appear that all of the money that we won on Arsenal losing has been paid out to punters who put their faith in Rooney,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Spurs are now priced at 20/1 from 25/1 with William Hill while United are in from 9/1 to 8/1 to win the Champions’ League.

The English sides both managed to improve on Tuesday’s woeful performances by Chelsea and Arsenal, but despite this, Chelsea are the 11/8 favourites to progress furthest out of all of the English teams. United are 15/8 and Spurs are priced as the 11/2 outsiders of the four.

Rangers were unlucky in defeat to Manchester United and have guaranteed themselves third place in the group. Hills have priced them at 20/1 to now go on and win the Europa League.

William Hill Champions’ League Odds:

Outright: 11/4 Barcelona; 11/4 Real Madrid; 4/1 Chelsea; 8/1 Man Utd; 12/1 Arsenal; 16/1 Bayern Munich; 16/1 Inter; 20/1 AC Milan; 20/1 Tottenham; 50/1 BAR

English Team To Get Furthest: 11/8 Chelsea; 15/8 Man Utd; 7/2 Arsenal; 11/2 Tottenham

English Teams In The Final: 4/5 One; 7/5 None; 11/2 Two

20/1 Rangers to win the Europa league

Bookies Paying The Penalty For Rooney’s Lack Of Form

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

Wayne Rooney scored from the spot last night against Rangers taking his Manchester United tally this season to two…both goals being penalties. William Hill have opened a book on the method of Rooney’s next goal and make a penalty 5/1. Rooney to score from a shot inside the penalty box is Hill’s 4/7 favourite, while a shot from outside the penalty box is offered at 9/2.

“Wayne Rooney scored a penalty against Rangers, however, that does not disguise the fact that he is suffering from a continued dip in form. It could well be that he adds to his tally with another penalty,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Wayne Rooney Odds:

Method of Next Goal: 4/7 shot from inside the box (excluding header & penalty); 9/2 Shot from outside the box (excluding header or free kick); 5/1 Penalty; 6/1 Header; 12/1 Direct from free kick.

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

William Hill are offering 5/2 that Manchester United remain unbeaten until Christmas. Their next fixture this season sees the Red Devils take on Blackburn at Old Trafford and Hills are offering 10/1 that they avoid defeat. They are 20/1 to go the whole season without being beaten. Wayne Rooney will be hoping to string together a run of goals after netting his second goal of the season from the spot against Rangers. Hills are offering 5/1 that he notches his third of the season from the spot. He is odds on, at 4/7 to add to his account with a shot from inside the area.

“Fergie will certainly claim to be focusing all of his attentions on the next game, but he will surely be keeping half an eye on chasing down the record held by Wenger’s unbeatables,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Last weekend was remarkable for the amount of red cards and Hills are offering 10/11 that two or more cards are shown this weekend.

Man Utd are the 6/1 favourites to score the fastest goal this weekend while the North-West derby between Bolton and Blackpool is 7/2 to see the most goals.

Dire Night Of Football Brightened By Arsenal Loss…arsene 11/2 To Be Gone By Next Season

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

Arsenal lost tonight and Chelsea had to come from behind to win, in what were two very scrappy performances from British sides. Chelsea are the 11/8 favourites to progress furthest out of all the British teams with William Hill.

Arsenal, on the other hand, looked as though they had not recovered from their North London hangover and Hills now make them 7/2 to progress the furthest. Their odds of winning the Champions’ League have been eased from 10/1 to 12/1. Arsenal’s defeat saved bookies paying out a fair old wedge but should their current run of poor form continue, Arsene Wenger could find himself under pressure and Hills are offering 11/2 that he has left by the first game of next season. The Gunners are now level on points with tonight’s conquerors and Hills are offering 10/1 that Arsenal fail to qualify for the latter stages of the competition.

“It was a rather underwhelming evening of football but despite this, we are still smiling as Arsenal have saved us a small fortune. We may have numb bums, but we are still happy,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Champions’ League Odds:

Outright: 11/4 Real Madrid; 11/4 Barcelona; 4/1 Chelsea; 9/1 Man Utd; 12/1 Arsenal; 16/1 Bayern Munich; 20/1 Internazionale; 20/1 AC Milan; 25/1 Tottenham; 50/1 BAR

British Team To Progress The Furthest: 11/8 Chelsea; 21/10 Man Utd; 7/2 Arsenal; 6/1 Tottenham; 33/1 Rangers

Arsene Wenger To Still Be At Arsenal On First Day Of Next Season: 1/10 Yes; 11/2 No

British Teams In Final: 4/5 One; 7/5 None; 11/2 Two

Arsenal To Qualify From Group H: 1/33 Yes; 10/1 No

William Hill Suspend Betting On Next Premier League Manager To Go

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

William Hill have suspended betting on the next manager to go market amidst rumours about Carlo Ancelotti’s future at Chelsea. Ancelotti was priced at 10/1 to go following a short run of poor results recently.

“We have seen a few quid, although nothing significant, in the last 24 hours, but that is no great surprise following two defeats. We have since heard rumours he has resigned and have decided to err on the side of caution and suspend betting until more information was revealed,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.
