1/8 For Balotelli To Receive Retrospective Ban

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

Mario Baolotelli could well face retrospective action after appearing to stamp on the head of Scott Parker. Bookmakers, William Hill, are offering odds of 1/8 that Balotelli receives a four match ban from the FA and 9/2 that he does not. With Balotelli already having one red card to his name, William Hill are odds on, at 4/7 that he does not receive another this season, although he is 9/4 to get one more red card and 7/2 to get two or more.

“Balotelli is a volatile character and is always likely to be in the headlines but we think that while it is likely that he will receive a ban this time around, it could be the shot in the arm that turns his season around,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Will Balotelli receive a ban relating to Scott Parker Incident on Sunday: 1/8 yes; 9/2 no

Balotelli Red cards this season (only includes red cards shown on pitch and not retrospective bans): 4/7 one; 9/4 two; 7/2 three or more

Arsenal Fan Cheering Despite Defeat As He Bags £31,638.47

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

Arsenal may have been defeated by Manchester United on Sunday, but there was one Gooner who was celebrating well into the early hours. An Irish William Hill punter (and avid Arsenal fan) from Stockport bagged a whopping £31,638.47 from a £10 stake. The punter, who usually bets £10 a week on the football, put all of his eggs in one basket and predicted 14 games in which both teams would score including Arsenal’s 2-1 defeat to United.

The 28 year old punter has only lived in the UK for 7 months and chose to do the ‘Will Both Teams Score?’ coupon for the very first time on Sunday. “This is the first time that I have played this coupon and I will certainly be having a little punt on it next weekend.”

The ‘Will Both Teams Score?’ coupon is one of William Hill’s fastest growing coupons despite only having been around for just over two years. “The coupon is incredibly popular because the bet lasts for 90 minutes of each match,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. The bet paid out at odds of 3163/1 and is the largest payout that Hills have made on that coupon this season.

“About a year ago, we had a horrific weekend where every Premier League team scored and this is our biggest pay out on this coupon since then,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Winning Bet – Both Teams To Score:

8/13 Utrecht vs PSV
4/6 Man City vs Tottenham
10/11 Osasuna vs Valencia
4/7 AZ Alkmaar vs Ajax
4/6 VVV Venlo vs Feyenoord
1/1 Valenciennes vs Bastia
8/13 Arsenal vs Manchester United
5/6 Siena vs Napoli
5/6 Lecce vs Chievo
8/11 Hamburg vs Dortmund
1/1 Inter Milan vs Lazio
8/11 Leverkusen vs Mainz
8/11 Real Madrid vs Ath Bilbao
11/10 Marseille vs Le Havre

It is looking like it may be a Manchester dominated day with Hills offering 4/6 that Manchester score more than North London.

“We think that Manchester will win the day, but North London will have something to say about it after the results last time,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Punter Predicts Entire Prem Matches For £31.5k

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

A 74 year old William Hill punter from East Lothian called Tom Brown correctly managed to predict all eight Premier League results on Saturday and bagged himself a quite stunning £31,454.78 from just a £5 stake. Mr Brown, a retired Local Government officer and Hearts fan was waiting for a Bolton win on Saturday evening to complete his astonishing eightfold, an accumulator that looked all but dead as Stoke/WBA looked to be heading for a draw until James Morrison’s 91st minute winner. That last minute goal at the Britannia Stadium meant that Mr Brown had £5,242.46 running onto Bolton at 5/1.

“It was very nerve racking watching the Bolton/Liverpool but now that I have had my biggest ever win, I fully intend to share the winnings with my wife, son, daughter and family,” said Mr Brown.

“Bolton were the biggest outsiders all weekend in the Premier League and they were not expected to win so easily, although Mark Davies’ early will have settled Mr Brown’s nerves I’m sure,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Winning Selections in bold:

ODDS OF 6290/1

21/20 Fulham vs Newcastle
10/11 Sunderland vs Swansea
11/4 Draw Norwich vs Chelsea
5/2 Draw Everton vs Blackburn
5/1 Bolton vs Liverpool
17/10 Wolves vs Aston Villa
11/10 QPR vs Wigan
13/5 Stoke vs West Brom

4/1 For Frank To Join Becks At Galaxy

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

LA Galaxy Chief, Tim Leiweke, has confirmed that he would be interested in making a move for Frank Lampard and William Hill think that a potential reunion with David Beckham could well be on the cards. He is 4/1 to leave Chelsea at the end of the season and move to the MLS champions.

“Any move for Frank to LA would be dependent on one of, designated players, Landon Donovan, Robbie Keane or David Beckham departing,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “It would also depend on what the future Mrs. Lampard would think about moving to America.”

Frank Lampard to join LA Galaxy in the Summer: 4/1 yes; 1/7 no

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

…ARE NORWICH ON THE WAY TO EURO 2012?

Fernando Torres has now gone 15 games without scoring for Chelsea and William Hill offer 9/4 that he fails to score in any of the next four matches. He is 5/4 to score in Chelsea’s next match against QPR in the FA Cup and 5/2 for his next goal to come against Swansea in the Premier League. Andre Villas Boas’ Chelsea dropped another 2 winnable points but Hills think that he will remain at Chelsea next season offering 4/6 that he is in the dugout for Chelsea’s first game of 2012/13.

Norwich acquitted themselves well against Chelsea with a team made predominantly of English talent and William Hill are offering 3/1 that any Norwich player makes the England Euro 2012 squad (2/9 no Norwich player to make England’s Euro 2012 squad).

When will Fernando Torres next score: 5/4 QPR; 5/2 Swansea; 4/1 Manchester United; 6/1 Everton; 9/4 none of these matches

Norwich player to make England Euro 2012 squad: 3/1 yes; 2/9 no

AvB at Chelsea on first day of 2012/13 season: 4/6 yes; 11/10 no

You Bet Hughes And Barton Will Be Staying Put Despite First Defeat!

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

Mark Hughes’ reign at QPR started with defeat and William Hill are offering 4/1 that he is no longer at QPR come the start of next season (1/7 to still be there). Should QPR be relegated, Hills offer 7/1 that they win the League and 3/1 that they would gain promotion by any means.

Joey Barton was the subject of much speculation in the Sunday papers as they suggested that Mark Hughes could let him go in January. Hills are erring on the side of caution and make him 1/8 to stay (9/2 to leave in January). Joey Barton did not play against Newcastle due to being suspended and Hills go 1/4 that he starts the first game for QPR that he is available for.

“Mark Hughes has already claimed that Joey Barton will remain his captain and while it is not uncommon for clubs to sell their leaders, we think that Joey will be staying put for the time being,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Mark Hughes to be at QPR on the first day of next season: 1/7 yes; 4/1 no

Joey Barton to still be at QPR at the end of the January transfer window: 1/8 yes; 9/2 no

Joey Barton to start first match he is available for: 1/4 yes; 11/4 no

Wigan Man Lands The ‘impossible’ Treble!

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

You would have thought that an Everton fan based in Wigan would be used to supporting the underdogs and his penchant for the plucky outsiders has earned him a share of William Hill’s longest odds football treble. The man, in his mid 40s, who wishes to remain anonymous placed £5.00 on Blackburn beating Manchester United, Aston Villa beating Chelsea and when Ji Dong-Won scored the 93rd minute winner for Sunderland against Manchester City landing a 1517/1 hat-trick of results worth £7590.

“To find three of the least predictable of the season and put them in a virtually impossible treble leaves us very relieved he was only prepared to risk a fiver on the outcome,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “The Blackburn game saw the biggest winning Premier League odds we have ever offered, 22/1 for them to win at Old Trafford and by adding Sunderland and Villa to the mix, the lucky punter beat odds of 1517/1. It is a little surprising he didn’t add Everton to win at West Brom, which would have boosted his winnings to nearly £20,000.”

The winning selections:

£5 stake scooped £7590

Blackburn to beat Manchester United: 22/1
Aston Villa to beat Chelsea: 10/1
Sunderland to beat Manchester City: 5/1
