…William Hill Wednesday Champions League Latest…

Manchester United are expected to win comfortably when they host Romanian minnows FC Otelul Galati and Hills make them 1/12 to secure victory. William Hill think that United are going to be such easy winners, they are 10/3 favourites to be the highest scoring team on Wednesday night and 11/2 to favourites to score the fastest goal. The two sides have only ever met once before, when they played each other two weeks ago at the Otelul Stadium. United ran out 2-0 winners and Hills go 5/1 about that scoreline being repeated.

Manchester are 1/2 to win to nil and Hills offer 8/5 that Utd score four or more.

“It looks as though it will be plain sailing for United who are all but certain to put their tough couple of weeks well and truly behind them,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Clark Firm Favourite For Leicester Job In Ongoing Saga

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

Lee Clark has been backed all the way in to 4/11 to become the next manager of Leicester City. The Huddersfield manager has been the subject of a number of three figure bets that have seen his odds in the last 48 hours tumble from 4/7. The only other contender that has been backed is Mark Hughes and his odds have been halved from 4/1 to 2/1. Nigel Pearson is 7/1 third favourite.

“Given the frequency with which Leicester change their manager, you would be forgiven for thinking that the Foxes board would have streamlined their hiring process but alas, punters are still waiting and Lee Clarke is now the firm favourite,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “It would seem that this one has a long way to go yet however.”

Next Permanent Leicester Manager: 4/11 Lee Clark; 2/1 Mark Hughes; 7/1 Nigel Pearson; 8/1 Kevin Keegan; 10/1 Roy Keane; 10/1 Gordon Strachan; 12/1 Billy Davies; 12/1 Rafael Benitez; 14/1 Martin O’Neill; 14/1 Dougie Freedman; 16/1 Neil Lennon; 20/1 BAR

Van Persie Fires Hat-trick To Leave Villas-boas Facing The Pressure

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

Chelsea were destroyed at home by Arsenal and William make Andre Villas-Boas 9/4 to no longer be in charge of Chelsea come the start of next season. On the other hand, Arsenal appear to have turned a corner and Arsene Wenger is 2/7 to start next season as Arsenal manager. Despite winning, Arsenal’s defensive woes continued and Hills make them 6/4 to concede 51 to 60 goals and 5/2 to concede 51-60. They are 33/1 to concede over 80 this Premier League season.

“Chelsea have now registered two straight defeats and should this run continue, Villas Boas could find himself signing on come the start of next season a la Ancelotti,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Robin van Persie scored his second hat-trick of the season and Hills are offering 2/5 that he scores over 20 Premier League goals this season while Frank Lampard, who scored once more, is 4/1 to bag 20 or more Premier League goals.

Arsenal Premier League goals conceded this season: 9/1 under 40; 9/4 41-50; 6/4 51-60; 5/2 61-70; 12/1 71-80; 33/1 over 80

Van Persie 20 or more Premier League goals this season: 2/5 yes; 7/4 no

Frank Lampard 20 or more Premier League goals this season: 4/1 yes; 1/7 no

Still in charge 1st game of next season:

Wenger: 2/7 yes; 5/2 no

Villas Boas: 1/3 yes; 9/4 no

4/1 All Manchester Carling Cup Final

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

Manchester United are the 15/8 favourites to win this year’s Carling Cup, ahead of Manchester City at 3/1. With the two Manchester sides hogging the top two spots in the Premier League, the pair are 4/1 to meet in the final of the Cup. With two non-Premier League sides still in the competition, they are understandably outsiders to win with Cardiff 16/1 and Crystal Palace 66/1.

“Manchester United and City have been on top form this season and it is feasible to envisage the pair meeting in the Final,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Arguably the stand out tie of the Quarter Finals is the Arsenal Manchester City match and Hills make City 8/13 to qualify for the Semis, with Arsenal 6/5.

Quarter Finals – Who Will Qualify:
6/5 Arsenal; 8/13 Manchester City
1/2 Chelsea; 6/4 Liverpool
1/16 Manchester United; 7/1 Crystal Palace
5/6 Cardiff; 5/6 Blackburn

Carling Cup Outright: 15/8 Manchester United; 3/1 Manchester City; 9/2 Chelsea; 6/1 Liverpool; 7/1 Arsenal; 12/1 Blackburn; 16/1 Cardiff; 66/1 Crystal Palace

£2.5k Says O’neill Is Going Back To Leicester

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

William Hill have slashed the odds of Martin O’Neill becoming the next manager of Leicester following a Liverpool punter backing him to get the gig to the tune of £2500. O’Neill is far and away the most likely candidate to get the job with Hills making him 1/4 from 2/5. His next closest rival in the betting is Mark Hughes at 3/1.

“Almost all of the early money has been for O’Neill to return to his spiritual home and this bet has been the culmination of a 24 hour mega gamble,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Leicester Next Boss: 1/4 Martin O’Neill; 3/1 Mark Hughes; 8/1 Lee Clark; 9/1 Rafael Benitez; 10/1 Billy Davies; 20/1 Roy Keane; 20/1 Simon Grayson; 20/1 Mark Robins; 20/1 Ole Gunnar Solksjaer; 20/1 Ian Holloway; 20/1 Dave Jones; 20/1 Alan Shearer; 20/1 Avram Grant; 20/1 Gianfranco Zola; 20/1 Carlo Ancelotti; 20/1 Alan Curbishley; 20/1 Didier Deschamps; 20/1 Nigel Worthington; 25/1 BAR

William Hill offer 5/1 that Stuart Pearce leads the men to glory in London while Hope Powell is 8/1 to do the same for the women.

“Having named their coaches, the hard work begins in earnest and the odds suggest that both sides will need to be at their very best to grab gold in London,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Beckham to be in the GB 2012 Olympic squad: 4/7
Beckham to captain the GB Olympic team in the opening match: 7/4

Controversial changes regarding the potential elimination of relegation from the Premier League do not look likely to be introduced anytime soon according to William Hill. The bookies offer 10/1 that relegation is abolished before the start of the 2016/17 season and go 11/2 that the number of teams relegated from the Premier League each season is reduced from three by the same date.

“These proposed changes have not gone down well at all with supporters of non-Premier League clubs and we think that the FA will share these concerns and veto any approach to eliminate relegation,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Premier League relegation to be reduced from three before the start of the 2016/17 season: 11/2 yes; 1/10 no
