Topsy Turvey Torres Tipped To Start Tomorrow

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

Fernando Torres was axed by Vincente Del Bosque for Spain’s victory midweek and Andre Villas-Boas has claimed he will not hesitate to drop the striker should his poor club form continue. Bookies, William Hill are offering odds on which will be the first game that he finds himself on the bench (or worse). He is 9/2 to miss Saturday’s match against Sunderland and 11/2 to miss the match against Leverkusen midweek. Torres is 14/1 to fail to start any of the next three games.

“Torres is certainly under pressure to start scoring, but the odds certainly indicate that he will be given a few more starts in order to find his form,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Hills are also betting on how many Premiership goals Torres will get this season and make the favourite between six and 10 at 2/1. The days when Torres used to score 20 plus goals a season seem a long way away at the moment, but he is 8/1 to bag over 20 this season. He is 11/10 to get his first Premier League goal of the season against Sunderland and 7/2 that it comes against Manchester United.

Next Premier League Goal: 11/10 Sunderland; 7/2 Manchester United; 4/1 Swansea; 9/1 Bolton; 14/1 Everton; 4/1 None of these five fixtures

Total Premier League Starts: 10/11 21-30; 7/4 Over 30; 4/1 11-20; 12/1 under 10

Total Premier League Goals: 2/1 6-10; 11/4 0-5; 3/1 11-15; 9/2 16-20; 8/1 20+

To Start

Vs Sunderland: 1/8 yes; 9/2 no

Vs Leverkusen: 1/10 yes; 11/2 no

Vs Manchester United: 1/2 yes; 6/4 no

14/1 Start none of these matches

********************************WILLIAM HILL WEEEKEND PREMIER LEAGUE SPECIALS************************************************

ARSENE WENGER THIRD FAVOURITE FOR CHOP

Following the takeover at QPR, William Hill have lengthened their odds about Neil Warnock being the next Premier League manager to leave his club from Even money favourite to 11/4 second favourite. ‘The takeover appears to have strengthened Warnock’s position in the short term, but many more results like their opening 0-4 home defeat would see his odds plunge again’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. Hills now make Blackburn boss, Stee Kean, their 7/4 favourite to be the next boss out but after further support for Arsene Wenger to be the next boss to go, incuding one of £200 at 9/1, he has been cut to 6/1 joint third favourite. ‘Arsene was a 33/1 shot pre-season to be the first Premier League boss to go but has been steadily backed to the point where he is now by some distance our worst potential result in this market’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

City Start Shows Promise As Aguero Slashed For Golden Boot

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

Manchester City showed their obvious class when upstaging Swansea on their return to the big time, to record the only home win of the opening week of the Premier League. New boy Sergio Aguero, scored two and set up one on his City debut and William Hill are offering 4/1 that he bags the golden boot during his first season in Premier League football. Manchester City are 10/3 to win the Premier League this season but are still behind Manchester United and Chelsea at 6/5 and 3/1 respectively. Hills offer 10/3 about a United/City 1-2, while a City/United forecast is 11/2.

“After just one game, the league is looking ominous for teams around the country as the North West occupy the top three,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “Realistically, there will only be two of those sides there at the end of the season but on the weekend’s form, the Manchester sides will take some shifting from their lofty perch.”

Despite performing well in the first half, Swansea faded in the second and succumbed to a big defeat and they are Hill’s favourites, at 8/15 to be relegated. Swansea are 13/8 to be the last of the promoted sides to register a Premier League win. Norwich are 6/4 and QPR are 7/4. All three promoted sides are 4/1 to be relegated. Swansea are 11/10 to win their next game against Wigan and 3/1 to record their first Premier League win against Sunderland. They are 11/4 to fail to win within the next five games.
Next Swansea Win: 11/10 Wigan; 3/1 Sunderland; 25/1 Arsenal; 5/1 West Brom; 50/1 Chelsea; 11/4 None of the next five games

Last Promoted side to register a Premier League win: 6/4 Norwich; 13/8 Swansea; 7/4 QPR

PL Top goal scorer: 4/1 Sergio Aguero; 7/1 Wayne Rooney; 9/1 Fernando Torres; 9/1 Javier Hernandez; 10/1 Robin Van Persie; 11/1 BAR

PL Relegation: 8/15 Swansea; 8/13 Norwich; 1/1 QPR; 7/4 Wigan; 2/1 Blackburn; 7/2 Wolves; 4/1 BAR

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

William Hill make him 4/1 favourite (from 12/1) to win the Premier League’s golden boot. Swansea on the other hand completed the hat trick of the promoted sides failing to win their opening games and William Hill make Swansea 13/8 to be the last of the promoted sides to register a win. Norwich are 6/4 and QPR are 7/4. Swansea are 11/10 to win their next game against Wigan and 3/1 to record their first Premier League win against Sunderland. They are 11/4 to fail to win within the next five games.

“Aguero was absolutely fantastic on his debut and looks as though he will make an immediate impact on the Premier League,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “Swansea, on the other hand, were given the runaround by Mancini’s men and will have to look to Wigan next week for improvement.”

Manchester City are 10/3 to win the Premier League, while at the other end of the table, Swansea are 8/15 favourites.

Next Swansea Win: 11/10 Wigan; 3/1 Sunderland; 25/1 Arsenal; 5/1 West Brom; 50/1 Chelsea; 11/4 None of the next five games

Downing Or Young – Who’ Ll Make More Impact ?

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

DOWNING OR YOUNG – WHO’LL MAKE MOST IMPACT AT NEW CLUB?

WILLIAM HILL have opened a book asking whether Stewart Downing or Ashley Young will score the most Premier League goals and make the most Premier League starts next season for their new clubs. Hills make Young odds on to score more goals for Man U than Downing does for Liverpool, but Downing is odds-on to make more starts for Liverpool than Young will make for United. ‘These are two high profile players who will be under pressure to perform to an elevated level to justify their transfer fees’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
HILLS ARE BETTING ON WHICH OF THE TWO WILL LEAVE HIS NEW CLUB FIRST – AND MAKE DOWNING 8/11 TO GO BEFORE YOUNG, WHO IS EVEN MONEY TO DO VICE VERSA.
And with Liverpool steadily bringing more English players into their squad, Hills have opened a book on how many members of their first Premier League game starting line-up v Sunderland will be Englishmen – making 4-5 their 6/5 favourite.

Premier League goals match bet:

Stewart Downing 7/4
Tie 5/1
Ashley Young 4/6

Most Premier League starts:

Stewart Downing 10/11
Tie 7/1
Ashley Young 11/10

How Many English Players Will Start For Liverpool vs Sunderland:
3 or less 11/4
4-5 6/5
6-8 7/4
9-11 7/1

WILL GERRARD BE FIT FOR SEASON?

WITH STEVEN GERRARD a non-runner on Liverpool’s pre-season tour of Asia, William Hill have opened a book on whether the Reds’ skipper will start their first Premier League game of the season – and offer 2/5 that he WILL, 7/4 that he will NOT. ‘Gerrard is still a key player for Liverpool and it would be a real setback for them if he was not fit enough to start their campaign’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Liverpool play Sunderland at Anfield in their opening game and are 7/20 to win it with Hills who make the visitors 6/1 and the draw 16/5.

He is 33/1 to be the first Premier League manager to leave their club.

Wenger to be at Arsenal on the last day of the 2011/12 season: 1/7 yes; 4/1 no

Arsenal to qualify for 2012/13 Champions League: 4/7 yes; 5/4 no

England U21s Odds On To Be Packing Bags After Czech Game…hills 2011/12 Sack Race Odds

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

England U21s need a win against the Czech Republic if they are to progress from their group and are 23/20 with William Hill to do so. They are 6/10 to fail to win and crash out of the tournament. Whatever happens, England need to score and Daniel Sturridge, one of only a few small bright spots in England’s team, is 11/2 to open the scoring in the match, while Danny Welbeck is 13/2.

“England have so far been underwhelming in the tournament and it may be down to Daniel Sturridge or Danny Welbeck to fire them into the semi finals,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “Although the odds suggest that England will be packing their bags after Sunday’s game.”

Stuart Pearce is offered at 3/1 with Hills to become the Team GB manager at next year’s Olympics.

William Hill England U21 vs Czech Republic U21:

England To Be Knocked Out: 23/20 No; 6/10 Yes

Match Betting: 23/20 England; 5/2 Czech Republic; 9/4 Draw

You Bet Rovers Will Be Kean To Get Rid Of Steve Next Season

William Hill make Steve Kean the 3/1 favourite to be the first Premier League manager to leave their position. Mick McCarty is 7/1 second favourite ahead of 9/1 Steve Bruce. “Blackburn only managed to survive on the last day of the season, having been mid table at Christmas and a vast improvement will be needed if Steve Kean does not want to be the first manager out of the door next term,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

At 66/1 Kenny Dalglish, Tony Pulis and whoever takes over the Chelsea role next, appear to be the three safest managers in the league at the minute, with Roy Hodgson, Martin Jol and Sir Alex Ferguson all offered at 40/1. For no manager to leave all season is offered at 100/1.

William Hill First Premier League Manager To Leave: 3/1 Steve Kean; 7/1 Mick McCarthy; 9/1 Steve Bruce; 10/1 Owen Coyle; 10/1 Roberto Martinez; 11/1 Roberto Mancini; 12/1 David Moyes; 14/1 Harry Redknapp; 16/1 Neil Warnock; 20/1 Alan Pardew; 20/1 Brendan Rodgers; 25/1 Alex McLeish; 33/1Paul Lambert; 33/1 Arsene Wenger; 40/1 Sir Alex Ferguson; 40/1 Martin Jol; 40/1 Roy Hodgson; 66/1 Kenny Dalglish; 66/1 Next Permanent Chelsea Manager; 66/1 Tony Pulis; 100/1 No Manager to leave all season

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
