Can’t Play/won’t Play: Torres And Tevez Latest…rvp 11/4 To Break Prem Goals Record

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

Fernando Torres failed to find the net against Birmingham, despite playing for the whole game and William Hill are now offering 2/1 that he fails to score for Chelsea in the Premier League for the rest of this season (4/11 that he bags at least one). Saying this however, he is Even money to grab his first goal of 2012 against Stoke this weekend. Roberto Di Matteo made it one in one and Hills are now betting on when Chelsea will lose their first match under the Italian. Hills reckon the most likely match for them to suffer their first defeat under Di Matteo is the Manchester City match on the 19th March (5/4,) although they are 7/1 to lose against Stoke this weekend.

Carlos Tevez returned to the goals when he netted against Bolton in the reserves and William Hill are offering 1/3 that he appears in the Premier League again this season. He is 5/4 to score more 2012 goals in the Premier League than Fernando Torres (4/7 vice versa).

Manchesters City and United are playing in the Europa League on Thursday and William Hill are offering 9/1 that the two sides meet in the final. United are Even money to score more goals at home against Athletic Bilbao (City are 17/10 to get more against Sporting Lisbon, with a tie 3/1).

Robin van Persie is just nine goals away from breaking the most goals in a season record of 34 and William Hill are offering 11/4 that he reaches 35 this season. He is 5/2 to equal the record and 14/1 to fail to score another goal all season.

“In a season that has seen big money players fail to find the net and refuse to even play, Robin van Persie has wowed the public and fired the goals that have kept Arsenal in contention for a top four spot and it is not out of the question that he will break Andy Cole and Alan Shearer’s record,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

When will Torres next score: 1/1 Stoke; 3/1 Napoli; 4/1 Leicester; 14/1 Manchester City; 11/1 Tottenham; 11/1 Aston Villa; 9/4 none of these games
*must start vs Stoke on 10th March or bets void **matches must be played on named dates or bets void

Torres to score again this season in the Premier League: 4/11 yes; 2/1 no

When will Chelsea next lose: 7/1 Stoke; 7/2 Napoli; 14/1 Leicester; 5/4 Manchester City; 7/1 Tottenham; 10/1 Aston Villa; 2/1 not lose any more of these matches

Where will Chelsea finish in the Premier League: 13/8 top four; 5/6 fifth; 5/1 sixth; 11/2 seventh or lower

Tevez to play again for Manchester City this season in the Premier League: 1/3 yes; 9/4 no

EPL goals match bet (From now): 4/7 Torres; 5/4 Tevez

Robin van Persie goals this season: 14/1 25; 6/1 26-27; 3/1 28-9; 3/1 30-31; 11/4 32-33; 5/2 34; 11/4 35 or more

RVP to leave Arsenal by the start of next season: 8/11 yes; 1/1 no

Chelsea To Go All Out For Victory…bruce And Hodgson Slashed For Wolves And England

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

Tuesday was a day for managerial moves as Steve Bruce became the 2/1 joint favourite to become the next permanent Wolves boss with Hills. Current caretaker boss, Terry Connor is the same price with Paul Ince the 12/1 third favourite. Meanwhile, Roy Hodgson was backed in from 14/1 to 4/1 second favourite to become the next England manager behind Harry Redknapp at 1/4.

“The constant stream of money that we have seen for Harry Redknapp has started to decrease as Spurs have found it increasingly difficult to win,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “Coupled with Harry’s somewhat contradictory statements in regards to the England job we have started to see our punters look elsewhere, with Roy Hodgson well fancied.”

Chelsea are 2/1 to qualify for the next round of the Champions League, although Napoli are 4/11 to knock out the final British side left in the competition. The match is 25/1 to be decided on penalties. Roberto Di Matteo has won his first two matches in charge of Chelsea and he is 8/1 to become the next permanent boss.

Fernando Torres is still firing blanks for Chelsea but he is 6/5 to break his 2012 duck against Napoli, 2/1 to do so against Leicester, 7/1 Manchester City and 10/1 Tottenham. He is 11/10 to score in none of these four matches. Torres is 13/8 to have left Chelsea by the first day of next season (4/9 to still be there). Should Torres start against Napoli, he is odds on, at 8/13 to fail to finish the match.

“Chelsea will have to go all guns blazing in order to get an early goal to settle the nerves but given Torres’ recent form, he may not be the man to back to get the all important goal,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Chelsea stage of elimination: 4/11 last 16; 4/1 quarter final; 8/1 semi final; 16/1 runner up; 28/1 winner

8/1 Roberto Di Matteo next permanent Chelsea boss

Fernando Torres to be at Chelsea at the start of next season: 4/9 yes; 13/8 no

Avb Stands On The Brink…after The Anfield Moggy Comes The Loftus Rd Squirrel, What Is Next?

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

CHELSEA BOSS JUST 2/7 TO BE NEXT MANAGER OUT

Chelsea’s woeful run continued with defeat to West Brom and William Hill are offering 2/7 that Andre Villas is the next boss to leave his job with 8/11 for him to no longer be Chelsea manager on the first day of next season. Chelsea’s faltering season sees their hopes of qualifying for the Champions League hanging by a thread and William Hill offer 8/15 that they do not play in Europe’s elite competition next season.

“AVB is staring at the abyss right now and a bad result against Birmingham could be the end of him…that is of course if he lasts that long,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Fernando Torres made yet another cameo and rather unsurprisingly, failed to find the net. Hills are now offering 9/4 that he fails to score in any of the next four Chelsea games, although he is Even money to score anytime against Birmingham. Chelsea are out to 10/1 to finish as top London club this season, with Spurs 1/8 and Arsenal 13/2.

In complete contrast to Chelsea, Manchester City have now won 19 consecutive home games and William Hill make them 9/2 to win all their remaining home games this season, although they are 10/11 to fail to win in their next home match against Chelsea.

Torres Next Score?
Birmingham (A) (FAC) EVS
Stoke (H) 5/2
Napoli (H) (UCL) 5/1
Man City (A) 8/1
None of these 9/4

**Must start vs Birmingham or bets void.

Chelsea to play in 2012/13 Champions league?
Yes – 11/8
No – 8/15

AvB at Chelsea on 1st day of 12/13 Premier League season?
Yes – EVS
No – 8/11

Man City fail to win at home?
Chelsea 19/03 10/11
Sunderland 31/03 6/1
West Brom 11/04 17/2
Man Utd 30/04 10/3
QPR 13/05 25/1
Win all remaining home games 9/2
**MUST BE PLAYED IN ABOVE ORDER.

Premier League Relegation: 1/5 Wigan; 4/6 Bolton; 8/11 QPR; 8/11 Blackburn; 4/5 Wolves; 14/1 Aston Villa; 20/1 BAR

Premier League Winner: 8/15Manchester City; 13/8 Manchester United; 66/1 Tottenham; 250/1 BAR

Loftus Road Sees Fine Display Of Nuts As Squirrel Takes To Pitch!

A squirrel stopped play at Loftus road, becoming the second animal to do so this season and William Hill have paid out to any punters who backed that particular creature halting a Premier League game at 10/1. Hills have now reopened the market and have cat and dog as the 7/2 joint favourite. Squirrel is 4/1 with mouse or rat 9/1. There has been plenty of magical football seen in the Premier League this season and Hills are offering 1000/1 that a unicorn is the next animal to stop play!

Next animal to stop a Premier League match: 7/2 Cat; 7/2 Dog; 4/1 Squirrel; 9/1 Mouse/Rat; 6/1 Fox; 6/1 Rabbit/Hare; 12/1 Goat; 20/1 Badger; 20/1 Mole; 25/1 Monkey; 33/1 Horse/Pony/Donkey; 33/1 Pig; 33/1 Cow; 50/1 Turtle/Tortoise; 100/1 Komodo Dragon; 100/1 Polar Bear; 100/1 Kangaroo; 100/1 Dingo; 100/1 Crocodile; 1000/1 Unicorn

Giggs 20/1 To Reach Four Figures…liverpool 4/9 For Barren 2012/13…torres Troubles

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

Ryan Giggs celebrated his 900th Manchester United appearance by scoring a goal and William Hill offer 20/1 that he reaches 1000 appearances. “Ryan will have to play for at least another three years in order to reach the 1000 games mark although the way that he has been playing recently suggests that the evergreen Giggs could easily do that,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Liverpool 4/9 For Barren 2012/13

Liverpool lifted the first silverware of the season on Sunday, when they won the Carling Cup and William Hill are offering 2/1 that they win one trophy next season and 8/1 they win two or more. They are 4/9 to win no silverware in the 2012/13 season. “There have been many people talking about Arsenal’s barren seasons but Liverpool, until Sunday, had suffered a similar streak and winning the League Cup is unlikely to paper over the cracks and they will really have their work cut out in order to follow it up next season,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Liverpool are the 5/2 joint favourites to win the FA Cup with Spurs and are 10/3 to finish in the top four in the Premier League, undoubtedly a top target for Kenny Dalglish. Liverpool are 7/1 to win the League Cup next season.

Torres Troubles

Fernando Torres has been suffering in the goals department since joining Chelsea and he has finally been dropped from the Spain squad. Hills are offering 6/4 that he fails to go to Euro 2012 (1/2 to make it). Torres is 13/8 to have left Chelsea by the start of next season (4/9 to still be there).

Torres to make the Spain Euro 2012 squad
Yes – 1/2
No – 6/4

Torres to score at Euro 2012
6/4
Bets are losers if doesn’t make squad or doesn’t get playing minutes.

Torres to leave Chelsea by first game of 2012/13 season:
Yes – 13/8
No – 4/9

Liverpool Season 2012/13 Trophies
0 4/9
Exactly 1 2/1
2 or more 8/1
*Premier League, FA Cup, Carling Cup & ANY Euro Comp

Connor Already Odds On To Be Thrown To The Wolves By Next Season!

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

Wolves have today announced Terry Connor as their manager until the end of the season but whether Wolves stay up or go down (5/4 stay up / 4/7 relegation), William Hill are odds on at 8/11 that he is not in charge on the first day of next season (Even money to still be there). A new manager can often galvanise a push up the table but Hills offer 50/1 that they finish in the top half of the table, 9/2 11th – 14th and 2/1 15th – 17th.

Wolves are 5/1 to win Connor’s first match in charge and are 8/1 to finish the weekend at the foot of the table. Wigan are the 4/9 favourites, with Bolton 5/2, Blackburn 10/1 and QPR 25/1.

“We feel that Connor may well be in a lose/lose situation. Should he keep Wolves up, he may have to make way for a more experienced man and should they go down, he may have to leave for not being good enough,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Bridge Beginning To Bend Under Weight Of Expectation

Andre Villas Boas is under intense pressure at Chelsea and should things not go his way against Bolton on Saturday, he could be on his way. William Hill make him 4/1 to have left Chelsea by midnight on Saturday and 3/1 to have left before the kick off of the second leg of the Champions League tie against Napoli. He is odds on at 2/5 to no longer be at Chelsea on the first day of next season.

Wolves specials:

Finishing position: 3/1 20th; 4/1 19th; 3/1 18th; 2/1 15th – 17th; 9/2 11th – 14th; 50/1 top half finish

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

Chelsea showed some signs of improvement despite losing to Napoli but despite this, William Hill now make Andre Villas Boas 3/1 to have left the Blues by the time the second leg starts. He is 2/5 to have left Chelsea by the start of next season (7/4 to still be there). Vitally, Chelsea bagged an away goal and Hills are offering 5/1 that they qualify by the away goals rule, while Napoli are 20/1 to do so. Chelsea are 7/4 to qualify while Napoli are 2/5.

“Villas Boas is walking a knife edge, but while his team showed improvement, he may not be in position to resurrect Chelsea’s Euro hopes in two weeks time,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Fernando Torres did not feature at all in Naples and he is 13/8 to have left Chelsea by the start of next season (4/9 to still be there).

William Hill Odds:

AVB to be in his current position on the first day of the 2012/13 Premiership season? Yes = 7/4 No = 2/5

AVB to no longer be in his current position by kick off of second leg v Napoli = 3/1

Torres to still be at Chelsea on the first day of the 2012/13 Premiership season (loans count as ‘no’)? Yes = 4/9 No = 13/8

Chelsea to qualify 7/4, Napoli to qualify 2/5

Chelsea to qualify via away goals rule = 5/1

Napoli to qualify via away goals rule = 20/1

Klinsmann Back To White Hart Lane? Tevez To Return To City? RVP To Madrid?

William Hill are offering 14/1 that Harry Redknapp qualifies for the Champions League for Spurs AND wins the European Championships as England manager. Should Redknapp become the England manager, a job for which he is 4/11 to get, Hills make Jose Mourinho the 9/2 favourite to succeed him at White Hart Lane. Newspaper reports have, however, suggested that current US coach and Spurs legend, Jurgen Klinsmann could be in line to take over and he has been cut from 16/1 to 10/1 to take over from Redknapp.

“Klinsmann is a legend at Spurs and has shown himself to be quite a capable manager as well,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “Spurs fans would not be upset with his appointment.”

Fernando Torres’ barren spell continued against Everton on Saturday but Hills reckon he could return to scoring ways in the FA Cup being 6/5 to score his next goal for Chelsea against Birmingham. He is 9/2 to bag his next against Napoli and the same price to do so against Bolton. It is 6/1 for his next Chelsea goal to come against West Brom, although he is 3/1 to fail to score in any of those four matches. Andre Villas Boas is also under pressure at Chelsea and Hills are offering 6/1 that both he and Torres have left Chelsea by the first game of next season.

Carlos Tevez is reportedly returning to Manchester on Tuesday and has been earmarked for a return to the City squad over the coming weeks, but William Hill are odds on (at 4/7) that he does not make another appearance for the Blues this season (5/4 he does).

“The January transfer window has shut and Tevez staying in Argentina does nobody any favours,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “His return could well see him back in the first team squad.”

Arsene Wenger has described the Spanish press as “creative” as they suggest that Robin van Persie could be joining Real Madrid in the summer. William Hill offer 8/11 that van Persie is still at Arsenal on the first day of next season, but also offer 5/2 that he is at Real Madrid. He is 6/1 to have joined Barcelona, 9/1 Manchester City and 14/1 Paris Saint Germain.

4/1 PRE-MATCH HANDSHAKES TO BE SCRAPPED

WILLIAM HILL are offering 4/1 that pre-match handshakes will be scrapped officially in Premier League matches before the start of next season. Hills had offered 1/5 that Evra and Suarez WOULD shake hands, and 10/3 that they would not. Hills go 5/1 that Kenny Dalglish and Luis Suarez have left Liverpool by the first game of next season.

After Rio Ferdinand refused to shake hands with Suarez, Hills are offering 11/4 that he and John Terry will NOT start in the same Euro 12 side for England.

When will Torres next score: 6/5 Birmingham; 9/2 Napoli; 9/2 Bolton; 6/1 WBA; 3/1 not to score in any of these matches
