WHAT DIVISION WILL HAMERS BE IN WHEN THEY KICK OFF IN OLYMPIC STADIUM?

WILLIAM HILL have opened a book on what division West Ham will be playing in when they kick off in the Olympic Stadium for the first time and offer 8/11 that they will be playing Premier League football at that stage – but 16/1 that they will be in League One, or lower, by then.
Hills also offer 9/4 that there will be no visible athletics track at the stadium and 11/4 that they have installed retractable seating over the track, when they do start playing league games there.
Hills remain to be convinced that West Ham will be able to sell out the Olympic Stadium for their first competitive game there, ‘Depending on what division they are in and how reluctant their fans are to travel to the new venue we think they could find it very difficult to sell out games and offer 7/4 that they will be able to do so for their first competitive game there’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

**West Ham’s first competitive game in Olympic Stadium to be a sell out?……..7/4 yes; 2/5 no.

**What division will West Ham be playing in when they play their first league match in the Olympic Stadium (bets void if they don’t play a match there by 2015)?

Premier 8/11……Championship 11/10…..Lower 16/1

**Will there be a visible athletics track at the stadium when West Ham play their first league match at the Olympic Stadium?

Yes 1/3…..No 9/4

**Will West Ham have a retractable seating system in place by the time they play their first league match at the Olympic Stadium?

Yes 11/4…..No 1/4

**Who will occupy the higher league placing on 1st January 2014?

West Ham 1/20…..Leyton Orient 8/1

**Will Avram Grant still be West Ham manager when they play their first league match at the Olympic Stadium?

Yes 100/30……No 1/5

When Will First Prem League Player Come Out ?

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

WHEN WILL FIRST PREMIER LEAGUE FOOTBALLER ‘COME OUT’?

England cricketer Steven Davies and Wales rubgy player Gareth Thomas have both come out in public as gay. But no current Premier Leaguer footballer has ever done so.
Bookmakers William Hill have opened a book on when – or whether- that will happen.
‘Statistically it is very unlikely that there are currently no gay players in the Premier League’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘But the question of when any current player will be willing to reveal in public that he is gay is one which is causing much discussion. We believe that the perceived problems which may arise for any player who does so may act as a deterrent and therefore think it is odds-on NOT to happen before the end of next season at the earliest.
‘However, the positive reaction to Davies’ recent announcement may well act as an incentive for a Premier League footballer to decide that the time is now right for him to come out in public’

WILLIAM HILL…When will the first current Premier League player come out in public?:

DURING THIS SEASON…………………..6/1
DURING THE CLOSE SEASON…………9/2
2011/2012 SEASON………………………..7/2
AFTER 2011/2012 SEASON……………..4/7

Fa Cup Flop Sees Moyes Cut For Chop

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

Everton’s defeat against Reading has left the Toffees with nothing to play for this season and has prompted a significant gamble on David Moyes to be the next manager to leave their club. He has been cut from 7/1 to 9/2 with William Hill.

“Moyes is very restricted at Everton and with nothing left to play for, he could well walk before he is pushed,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Chelsea secured a vital home win against Manchester United on Tuesday and eased the pressure on their manager, Carlo Ancelotti. He is priced at 9/2 (out from 7/2 before Utd game) with William Hill to be the next Premier League manager to leave their position. Should Ancelotti go, Hills are offering 15/8 that Guus Hiddink replaces him as the next permanent Chelsea manager while Didier Deschamps is 7/1. Frank Rijkaard and Jose Mourinho are both 8/1.

Their big money signing, Fernando Torres failed to score again, however and Hills are offering 10/1 that he fails to score in any of the next five games, although he is 4/7 to bag a goal against Blackpool on the 5th March. Chelsea are also in from 20/1 to 14/1 to win the Premier League although Manchester United are 8/13 favourites.

“Chelsea have often flattered to deceive this season, often recording a good win before falling back into poor form, but the win against United is the kind of result that could save their season and perhaps even Ancelotti’s job,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Premier League Odds:

Outright: 8/13 Manchester United; 13/8 Arsenal; 14/1 Chelsea; 40/1 Manchester City; 100/1 Tottenham

When Will Torres score for Chelsea:
4/7 Blackpool (a)
9/4 Copenhagen (h)
10/1 Manchester City (h)
11/1 Stoke (a)
16/1 Wigan (h)
10/1 Fail to score in any of these games

6th Premier League Manager to Leave: 6/5 No manager to leave before the end of the season; 6/4 Avram Grant; 9/2 Carlo Ancelotti; 9/2 David Moyes; 7/1 Steve Kean (others on request)

Next Permanent Chelsea Manager: 15/8 Guus Hiddink; 7/1 Didier Deschamps; 8/1 Frank Rijkaard; 8/1 Jose Mourinho; 10/1 Pep Guardiola; 12/1 Martin O’Neill; 14/1 Jurgen Klinsmann; 16/1 David Moyes; 16/1 Rafael Benitez; 20/1 Fabio Capello; 20/1 Roberto Di Matteo; 20/1 Gianfranco Zola; 20/1 Gus Poyet; 20/1 Laurent Blanc; 20/1 Marcello Lippi; 20/1 Steve Clarke; 25/1 BAR

Bookies Hail Gunners’ Multi Million Mix Up As Arsenal Odds On To Win Zilch – Again.

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

Arsenal odds-on to win nothing – again!
BOOKIES HAIL ARSENAL’S MULTI MILLION MIX-UP

THE Arsenal defensive mix-up which cost them the Carling Cup was worth £10 million to bookies. ‘We faced a seven figure payout had Arsenal gone on to win the Quadruple and as much again had they lifted the Carling Cup itself, so that defensive mix-up was a £10million bonus for the bookmaking industry’ said William Hill spokesman Graham Sharpe.’Punters had plunged cash on Arsenal as though defeat was out of the question – but Alex McLeish – and Ben Foster – found the answer.’
AND HILLS NOW MAKE ARSENAL ODDS ON TO ENDURE YET ANOTHER SEASON WITH NO TROPHIES. Hills offer 8/15 that the Gunners will finish the season trophy-less once more, but quote them at 80/1 to win the three remaining trophies they are contesting.
ARSENE WENGER is 9/1 with Hills to cease to be Arsenal manager by the first day of next season, but 1/25 to remain in place. ‘Just how long will the Arsenal fans remain loyal to Arsene Wenger if his trophy-less run continues’ asked Hill’s spokesman Sharpe.
