WHERE WILL BELLAMY GO NEXT?

WITH Craig Bellamy apparently resigned to having to leave Man City to play regularly this season, William Hill are betting on where he will play his first game after the transfer window closes assuming it is not for City, and make Celtic their 11/8 favourite. ‘Most neutrals thought Bellamy had an excellent season for City but he seems to have fallen out of favour there’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Celtic…11/8
Tottenham…2/1
Fulham….5/2
Aston Villa…14/1
Everton….16/1
Sunderland….16/1
Liverpool….20/1
Newcastle….20/1
Stoke….25/1
Cardiff….25/1
Birmingham….33/1
(Bets void if first game after transfer window is for Man City)

**PAUL LAMBERT of Norwich has been backed from 16/1 to 8/1 with William Hill to become the next Villa boss.’We took several three figure bets for Lambert in the Staffordshire area but the gamble didn’t seem to spread any further than that’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.Hills make Bradley 11/4 fav and also offer 6 Bilic; Curbishley; Klinsmann; Sven; 7 Jol; Southgate.

**IAN HOLLOWAY has been backed from 8/1 to 11/2 with Hills to be the next Prem boss to leave his club.Hills make Hughton 7/2 fav and also offer 5 Mancini; 11/2 Di Matteo; Holloway; 6 Martinez.

Man City: Out With The Old In With The New?

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

William Hill are taking bets on how many of Manchester City’s starting XI from the final game of last season will start the first game of this one. With the spending spree set to continue, Hills offer just 13/8 that only 3 or 4 make the line up against Spurs on the 14th of August. With two of the players from City’s 1-1 draw with West Ham having left the club already and a somewhat depleted XI starting the game, Hill’s are offering 8/1 that 8 or 9 start.

“City have made no secret of their desire to bringin players of the highest quality in an attempt to improve on their 5th place last season and they could probably make 3 or 4 starting XIs out of the squad that they have amassed. The odds suggest that Mancini will be keen to blood his new signings against Tottenham,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Odds:

How Many Of Man City’s Starting XI In The Final Game Of Last Season Will Start The First Game Of This Season?

2 or less 11/2
3 or 4 13/8
5 or 6 11/8
7 or more 11/4

Starting XI in the final game of last season: Fulop; K. Toure; Sylvinho; Zabaleta; Wright-Phillips; De Jong; Vieira; Kompany; A Johnson; Adebayor; Santa Cruz

Torres Odds On To Stay But 7/2 For City Move!

With a number of clubs itching to get their hands on Fernando Torres’s signiture, Hills have opened a book on which club he will represent on the first day of the season and perhaps surprisingly he is 1/2 to still be a Liverpool player. Moneybags Man City are 7/2 and Chelsea 8/1.

“There are very few teams who can afford Torres price tag, as a result we feel that he will remain a Liverpool player,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Fernando Torres’ Club On First Day Of 2010/11 Season: 1/2 Liverpool, 7/2 Man City, 5/1 Chelsea, 8/1 Barcelona, 12/1 Inter, 16/1 Real Madrid…..Others On Request….Loan Deals Count

Following the news that Joe Cole has signed for Liverpool, William Hill offer 1/4 to start Liverpool’s first game of the season and 11/4 that he does not. Hills have also priced him at 7/4 to score 5 or six goals, and he is 13/8 to score more or less than this. Liverpool are 2/1 to finish in the top four and 4/11 to not.

“Joe Cole is the marquee signing that every Liverpool fan was hoping for. Whilst the odds suggest that his arrival may not propel Liverpool into the Champions League, it seems it will at least tempt star players Gerrard and Torres to stay, with the two of them odds on to be Liverpool players on the 15th of August,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Joe Cole Specials:

Start First Game: Yes – 1/4; No – 11/4

Total Number of Premier League Goals: Under 5 – 13/8; 5-6 – 7/4; Over 6 – 13/8

*******************************WHEN WILL UNITED WIN WITHOUT ROONEY…..WHEN WILL BE RETURN…WILL JOE COLE MAKE WORLD CUP SQUAD*****************************************

WHEN WILL UNITED WIN WITHOUT ROONEY?

WILLIAM HILL have opened a book on when Man U will next win a game in the current absence of Wayne Rooney, and they make United 50/1 to fail to win ANY of their next five games. ‘There are plenty of people who believe United have almost been a one man team this season. This spell without Rooney will test that theory’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

When will Man Utd next win a match without Wayne Rooney? (90m play):

Bayern Munich H….8/13
Blackburn A…..5/2
Man City A…..8/1
Champions League semi final 1st leg…16/1
Tottenham H…..20/1
To win NONE of these games: 50/1

WHEN WILL WAYNE COME BACK?
WILLIAM HILL offer 13/8 that Wayne Rooney will first return for Man U in their derby match against Manchester City, but have cut him from 50/1 to 40/1 not to play any part in their games for the remainder of the season. ‘Wayne was notably missed against Chelsea and the temptation may be to rush him back if United begin to under-achieve without him’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Bayern Munich H…7/1
Blackburn A…15/8
Man City A…13/8
Champions League Semi Final… 1st Leg 9/2
Tottenham…. H9/1
Champions League Semi Final 2nd Leg…16/1
Sunderland …A25/1
Stoke H…40/1
Champions League Final – 50/1
None of the above ….40/1

WILL JOE COLE GET ON PLANE TO WORLD CUP?

WILLIAM HILL have cut Joe Cole from 7/4 to 5/4 to make it into England’s World Cup squad – and he’s now 2/1 to start the first game. ‘Joe Cole may have timed his return to form to perfection to claw his way into the England squad’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe,

William Hill…..Joe Cole to make the final World Cup 2010 squad:

4/7 No
5/4 Yes

Wm Hill….Joe Cole to start England’s 1st world cup 2010 game:

Hills have pushed out the price of Gianfranco Zola being the next manager to leave his job from 6/5 to 2/1 following the takeover but he remains the favourite in the market. Hills expect the new owners to bring in three or more players in the transfer window at 6/4 and West Ham moving to the Olympic Stadium in 2013 is 6/4.

“The takeover is good news for West Ham and the odds suggest that they will survive in the Premiership but the Olympic stadium might be a pipe dream,” said Hill’s spokesman Rupert Adams.

Number Of West Ham signings in January Transfer Window: 6/1 None, 13/5 One, 15/8 Two, 6/4 Three or more

Will Bookies Get Collared By Mancini’s Scarf?

William Hill have opened a book on the first game that Roberto Mancini will NOT be wearing a scarf and offer 11/ that it will be versus Scunthorpe in the FA Cup but Hills are offering 1/3 that he wears a scarf at the start of their next nine fixtures.

“We think that the scarf is a fashion accessory rather than because of the weather so would not be surprised if he wears one all season,” said Hill’s spokesman Rupert Adams.

At which match will Roberto Mancini fail to wear his blue and white Man City scarf?: 11/1 Scunthorpe, 12/1 Man Utd, 14/1 Portsmouth, 14/1 Hull, 14/1 Bolton, 16/1 FA Cup (Fifth rd), 16/1 Stoke, 16/1 Liverpool, 16/1 Chelsea, 1/3 Wears Scarf For All These Matches.

You Bet Terry All Gold For Fabio And Carlo

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

IS TERRY STILL ALL GOLD FOR CARLO AND FABIO?

WITH JOHN TERRY’S name being linked to potentially embarrassing tabloid stories, William Hill are betting on whether he will start England’s first game of the World Cup, and Chelsea’s first Premiership game of next season as captain.
Hills offer 1/10 that he will start as skipper in England’s opening World Cup game against USA – 11/2 that he will not; and 1/5 that he will start as skipper in Chelsea’s opening game of the 2010/11 Premiership season, but 10/3 that he will not. ‘There is unanimous support in public for John Terry from both Fabio Capello and Carlo Ancelotti and it seems unlikely that the current stories will cost him either the England or Chelsea captaincy – but should any more emerge his position may not remain quite so secure’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

HESKEY FOR ENGLAND?

WITH Martin O’Neill declaring that Emile Heskey’s injury is not as as at first feared, William Hill make the Villa man a 4/7 chance to start in England’s opening World Cup game against USA – and 5/4 not to. ‘Punters looking to back Emile to play in England’s opening game will be pleased to hear that he is unlikely to be sidelined through injury for any significant length of time’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
