City Fail To Pressurise Big 4

CITY BLOW CHANCE TO PRESSURISE BIG 4

MANCHESTER CITY’S failure to take all three points from the trip to Birmingham has seen William Hill shorten their odds that the Big 4 will all finish in the top four at the end of the season, from 6/4 to 11/8 – but they lengthened their odds for anyone to gatecrash the top four from 1/2 to 8/15. ‘We still believe it is more likely than not that at least one side – probably City – will break the Big 4 stranglehold on the top four places’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

CHELSEA are now 5/4 favourites to win the Premiership title with William Hill, who make Manchester United 9/4 second favourites – and offer 11/4 that Chelsea finish top with United runners-up, and 4/1 that it ends vice versa.
Hills make Arsenal 10/3 third favourites for the title with Man City 12/1; Liverpool 20/1; Spurs 100/1; Villa 200/1.

WITHOUT BIG 4

WILLIAM HILL make Man City 2/5 favourites to finish top of their ‘Without the Big 4’ market and also offer 7/2 Spurs; 11/2 Villa; 20 Everton; 33 Sunderland.

RELEGATION…William Hill make Hull 4/11 favourites to go down (2/1 to stay up) and also offere 4/5 Portsmouth (10/11); 11/8 Burnley; Wolves; 6/4 Birmingham; 4 West Ham; 11/2 Blackburn; Bolton; 7/1 Wigan.

Liverpool 10/1 To Lose 10 As Rio World Cup Odds Lengthen And Brown Odds On For Chop

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

10/1 LIVERPOOL TO LOSE TEN OR MORE PREM GAMES

WITH LIVERPOOL already beaten five times in the Premier League, William Hill are betting on how many matches they will lose in the division by the end of the season, and make 7 their 15/8 favourite, also offering 8- 9/4; 9- 7/2; 6- 5/1; 10+ – 10/1; 5- 14/1.
And with Liverpool also 8/13 to go out of the Champions League at the current stage with Hills, who make them 6/5 to progress, Rafa Benitez is also coming under pressure, with Hills making him 9/4 to be gone by the end of the season, but 1/3 still to be boss. ‘It is difficult to see Liverpool avoiding any more Premier League defeats, and with five already on the board we suspect out 10/1 for 10 or more defeats to be a popular offer’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘And there is more backing for Rafa to depart before the end of the campaign, rather than to remain’.

RIO SPECULATION SEES WORLD CUP START ODDS LENGTHEN

AS SPECULATION mounts over Rio Ferdinand’s fitness, William Hill have lengthened their odds about him starting England’s first World Cup match from 1/7 to 1/6, and shortened the odds for him to miss out from 4/1 to 7/2. He is now down from 10/1 to 7/1 not to be selected for the World Cup squad, and 1/16 to be included. ‘The longer the uncertainty continues, the more money we’ll take for him to fail to make the starting line up, or even the squad’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

BROWN STILL ON BRINK, SAY BOOKIES

DESPITE suggestions that Phil Brown’s future as Hull boss will be guaranteed by the club’s new chairman, William Hill give him little chance of seeing the season out as manager and offer 1/12 that he will go before the end of the campaign and 6/1 that he is still there on the final day.

Brown ‘ Managerial Dead Man Walking ‘

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

BROWN IS ‘MANAGERIAL DEAD MAN WALKING’

HULL boss Phil Brown is 1/12 with William Hill to fail to see out the season with his club, and 6/1 to do so – ‘He is the managerial equivalent of a dead man walking after the defeat by Burnley’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. And Hills now make Rafa Benitez 9/4 to fail to see out the season at Liverpool, and 1/3 to survive – ‘Liverpool’s season looks likely to stand or fall on whether they can get through to the next stage of the Champions League – and so might Rafa’s future’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

TITLE ODDS

CHELSEA are now 5/4 favourites to win the Premiership title with William Hill, who make Manchester United 9/4 second favourites – and offer 11/4 that Chelsea finish top with United runners-up, and 4/1 that it ends vice versa.
Hills make Arsenal 10/3 third favourites for the title with Man City 11/1; Liverpool 20/1; Spurs 100/1; Villa 200/1.
HILLS NOW OFFER 6/4 THAT THE BIG 4 END UP THE TOP 4, 1/2 THAT THEY DO NOT.

WITHOUT BIG 4

WILLIAM HILL make Man City 2/5 favourites to finish top of their ‘Without the Big 4’ market and also offer 7/2 Spurs; 11/2 Villa; 20 Everton; 33 Sunderland.

YOU BET HULL BROWNED OFF BY SPECULATION

DESPITE Phil Brown’s protestations that it is virtually business as usual at Hull City, William Hill are refusing to quote odds about him surviving in his job until the end of the season, or for him to be the first Premiership manager to lose his job this season.
‘Phil did his best to give the impression that all is hunky dory at Hull, but his body language suggested anything but’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘And as a result we have now opened a book on his successor and have installed Paul Jewell as 5/1 favourite.’
Hills also offer:

Paul Jewell5/1

WILLIAM HILL CARLING CUP LATEST:

WILLIAM HILL make Chelsea 11/4 favourites to win the Carling Cup and also offer 4/1 Man C; 9/2 Man U; 9/2 Arsenal; 11/2 Spurs; 9/1 Aston Villa; 20/1 Blackburn; 25/1 Portsmouth.
Hills also offer 5/2 that the Final will be between two of the ‘Big 4’.

All Manc final 14/1
All London final 11/4

AFTER his Carling Cup goal on Tuesday night, William Hill have cut their odds for Michael Owen to make Fabio Capello’s World Cup squad from 5/2 to 9/4 – and offer 1/3 that he will miss out. ‘Owen really needs a run of games and goals, which Fergie doesn’t currently looking like giving him, so although he appears to be fit again he isn’t getting the games which would enhance his prospects of recapturing his best form and forcing Fabio’s hand’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

SWINE FLU 6/1 TO STRIKE PREMIER LEAGUE

WILLIAM HILL offer 6/1 that one or more Premier League matches will be postponed because of swine flu this season. ‘Several clubs are apparently suffering from swine flu, so it is not impossible that games could be put at risk if entire squads are struck down’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. It is 1/12 with Hills that there will be NO swine flu postponements.

WILL NEWCASTLE GET STADIUM SPONSOR? YOU BET THEY MIGHT NOT…..

WITH MIKE ASHLEY SET TO SELL naming rights to Newcastle’s St James’ Park, bookmakers William Hill have opened a book on whether those rights will actually be sold, and what the ground will be known as. Hills believe it is unlikely that a sponsor will come forward and offer 4/7 that the ground name has NOT changed at all by the first day of next season, and 5/4 that it HAS gained a sponsor’s appendage by then. ‘It is one thing putting the naming rights up for grabs, another getting the right deal – and Mr Ashley could quote conceivably have changed his mind and sold the club by then’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
And Hill’s make Tesco the most likely sponsor’s name to be added to the ground name, quoting the supermarket chain at 16/1, and also offering:
Northern Rock 20/1
Sports Direct 25/1
Greggs 33/1
Newcastle Brown 33/1
NE Tourist 50/1
Newcastle Building Society 50/1

You Bet Brown On Brink At Hull

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

As rumours abound that Brown is on way out:
BROWN ON THE BRINK – WHO’LL BE NEXT?

FOLLOWING RUMOURS OF THE imminent departure of Phil Brown from Hull City, William Hill have stopped taking bets for him to go, and installed Portsmouth’s Paul Hart as odds-on favourite to be the next Premier League manager to leave his club. ‘ With rumours circulating that Phil Brown is on the verge of leaving Hull City, we have taken him out of our market for the next Premiership manager to leave his club in which he was 7/4 joint favourite with Paul Hart. We saw a string of bets for Brown to go, with punters asking to stake up to £500 a time. At that point we decided to close the book. The possible departure of Brown could trigger a wave of managerial moves, but although Paul Hart is an obvious favourite to be next to go, given his side’s position at the bottom of the table, the bizarre financial and ownership situation at the club could mean that there is noone really in a position to remove him at the moment’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. Hills have also now stopped taking bets on whether Phil Brown will still be at Hull on the final day of the season.
Hills currently make Hull 2/5 favourites to be relegated (7/4 to stay up), and 11/8 favourites to finish bottom of the table.

Rio Under Pressure As Strach Takes Over At Boro And Cole Returns To Fray

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

RIO UNDER PRESSURE ? BET ON IT

AFTER another high profile below par performance by England defensive lynchpin Rio Ferdinand, William Hill have cut their odds about him failing to start England’s opening World Cup game from 6/1 to 4/1, and for missing out completely on the England squad from 10/1 to 8/1. ‘R io’s recent form has been far from vintage and he is fortunate that most of his serious rivals for the England place seem to be injury prone’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills make Rio 1/7 to start for England in their opening World Cup game and 1/20 to be selected for the England World Cup squad.

COLE NO JOEK FOR WORLD CUP PLACE
William Hill make fit again Joe Cole 7/4 to start England’s 1st world cup match, and 2/5 no to.’Joe made an impressive return against Blackburn and will have every chance of re-establishing himself in time for the World Cup’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
YOU BET PRESSURE OFF RAFA
FOLLOWING Liverpool’s victory over Man U, William Hill have lengthened their odds about Rafa Benitez being out before the end of the season from 5/4 to 9/2 and now make him 1/8 still to be in place at the end of the campaign. ‘What a difference one result can make’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. ‘But Rafa will be back under pressure if Liverpool crash out of the Champions League and don’t follow up the United win by revitalising their title challenge.’
WILLIAM HILL- FIRST PREMIERSHIP BOSS TO GO – 25/1 THEY ALL SURVIVE!
WITH PREMIER LEAGUE clubs resolutely refusing to sack their managers, William Hill have cut their odds from 33/1 to 25/1 that none at all will depart this season. ‘It is very susprising that no manager has yet to leave his club this season, but I’m sure this is the calm before the storm, with several bosses beginning to look vulenrable as the season unfolds’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
7/4 Phil Brown; Paul Hart; 7/1 Benitez; McLeish; 8 Zola; 10 Redknapp; 16 Megson; 20 Allardyce; 25 Ancelotti; Hughes; Martinez; McCathy; Moyes.
OH, GORD, WHERE WILL BORO FINISH?
WITH Gordon Strachan installed as Boro boss, William Hill are betting on where they will finish in the Championship:
Where will Middlesbrough finish in the championship?:
1st 11/2
2nd 4/1
3rd – 6th 11/10
7th -10th 9/2
