Read moreBohemians are now the 4/11 favourites to win the 2010 Airtricity League title following a dramatic series of matches on Saturday afternoon.
The Gypsies beat St. Patricks Athletic 1-0 at the Stadium of Light and then watched their bitter rivals, Shamrock Rovers, lose 2-1 at home to Sporting Fingal.
Saturdays results leaves Bohemians one point clear of Shamrock Rovers at the top of the table with just two games to go.
Rovers, who lead the league by eight points at one stage, are now 2/1 to win their first league title since 1994.
In the penultimate round of fixtures Bohemians play Galway in Terryland Park, while the Hoops are at home to Drogheda United.
Bohemians are now in the box seat and its hard to see them dropping points against either Galway or Dundalk, said Hills spokesman Tony Kenny Rovers were 1/6 favourites to win the league just a few weeks ago, but the destiny of the 2010 Airtricity League is now out of their hands.

Brian Flynn took charge of Wales tonight in the first game of his interim employment and it ended in a 1-0 defeat at home to Bulgaria. This has caused bookmakers William Hill to shorten the odds of Ian Rush becoming the next Wales manager from Evens to 5/6. Brian Flynn is now 11/8 having been 6/5 before Fridays game.
Friday was Brian Flynns big chance to show that he was the man to turn Wales fortunes around. It did not quite happen for him and it has now left the door open for Rushy to take over, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.
Scotland and Wales both lost 1-0 and this seriously jeopardises their chances of qualification for Euro 2012. Wales are now 25/1 to qualify and Scotland are 5/1 with William Hill. Scotlands odds of winning the competition overall have now drifted to 250/1 from 200/1 and Wales are 400/1 to win the tournament.

Next Wales Manager:
Ian Rush 5/6

WITH Danny Murphy pointing the finger at Blackburn, Stoke and Woklves, William Hill are betting on how many red cards those three clubs will clock up between them by the end of the Premier League season and make them 13/10 to end up with a total of 11 or more, whereas Murphy’s Fulham are 6/5 to receive no more than one all season and he is 10/1 to be red-carded himself. ‘Murphy’s outspoken comments have certainly put the focus on the disciplinary records of the three clubs he mentioned so we’re betting on their red card records’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Although Michael Owen is hoping to win his England place back, William Hill offer 3/1 that he will play any part in the Euro 2012 qualifying matches. ‘Michael may have to face up to the fact that his England career is over as Capello has shown little enthusiasm for restoring him to the side’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills offer 2/9 that Owen will play no part at all in the Euro 2012 qualifying campaign.
HODGSON’S CHOICES?
WITH Roy Hodgson hoping to have cash to play with in the January transfer window as a result of Liverpool’s projected take-over, William Hill are betting on how many permanent signings he will make then, and make three or more their 5/4 favourite. ‘Liverpool clearly need to bring in a number of new players but whether they will have the money and whether the right players will be available remains to be seen’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills…..How Many Permanent Signings Will Liverpool Make In January Transfer Window ?
None 6/1

DESPITE saying that he currently lacks the necessary experience to become England manager, William Hill quote him as 5/1 fourth favourite to get the job when Fabio Capello steps down. ‘If the FA decide to opt for an Englishman, Pearce has to be a serious contender ,and he would be a popular choice’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
But Hills make Harry Redknapp 2/1 favourite to succeed Fabio and also offer 9/2 Roy Hodgson and Martin O’Neill; 5/1 Pearce; 10/1 Steve Bruce; 12/1 Sam Allardyce; 14/1 Jose Mourinho; Alan Shearer.16/1 Guus Hiddink; Ian Holloway; 25/1 Steve McClaren.

Read moreBrian Flynn is taking charge of the Welsh side for their two Euro 2012 qualifiers on Friday and Tuesday but William Hill make him only 6/5 second favourite to take the job on a permanent basis. Should Wales perform well in their two games against Bulgaria and Switzerland, it would certainly not do his chances of getting the job any harm. William Hill are offering odds of 7/4 that Wales gain three points over the two games, 9/4 that they get no points and 20/1 that they get six.
Ian Rush, whose only foray into management was a short stint with Chester, is the Even Money favourite and Chris Coleman is 9/2 third favourite.
Much depends on how well Wales fare over these two qualifiers. Should they do well, Flynn would be a shoo-in, although should Wales fail to perform, there are contenders waiting in the wings, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.
William Hill Wales Odds:
Next Permanent Wales Manager: 1/1 Ian Rush; 6/5 Brian Flynn; 9/2 Chris Coleman; 8/1 Terry Venebles; 20/1 BAR
How Many Points Will Wales Get In The Two Euro 2012 Qualifiers: 7/4 Three; 2/1 One; 9/4 None8/1 Four; 16/1 Two; 20/1 Six

‘This looks like being a volatile market with a number of contenders already well backed but with little indication that there is an imminent appointment’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
WILLIAM HILL…..NEXT PERMANENT HIBS’ MANAGER….5/2 Jimmy Calderwood; 3/1 Michael O’Neill; 9/2 Billy Reid; 5/1 Gareth Evans; 11/2 Derek McInnes; 8/1 Tony Mowbray.

WITH LIVERPOOL’S proposed takeover apparently imminent, William Hill are betting on whether the takeover will be formally approved by the end of this month, and have opened a book on what may happen to the club as a result.
‘The Liverpool soap-opera would rival Coronation Street for plot twists and you couldn’t entirely rule out a change of name for the club to ‘Redsox’ should they end up under the same umbrella ownership as the Bostonians of that name!’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
