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

Aaron Ramsey has been confirmed as the Wales captain for the match against England and William Hill have reacted by enhancing the price for him to score first from 16/1 to 25/1. This offer will be available exclusively online from 3 o’clock Thursday until kick off on Saturday.

“Aaron Ramsey does not have an awful lot of captaining experience, however, he will let his football do the talking and we are willing to reward our punters for having the same faith in him as Gary Speed has,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Flynn Fluffs His Lines To Leave The Door Open For Ian To Rush In

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

Brian Flynn took charge of Wales tonight in the first game of his interim employment and it ended in a 1-0 defeat at home to Bulgaria. This has caused bookmakers William Hill to shorten the odds of Ian Rush becoming the next Wales manager from Evens to 5/6. Brian Flynn is now 11/8 having been 6/5 before Friday’s game.

“Friday was Brian Flynn’s big chance to show that he was the man to turn Wales’ fortunes around. It did not quite happen for him and it has now left the door open for Rushy to take over,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Scotland and Wales both lost 1-0 and this seriously jeopardises their chances of qualification for Euro 2012. Wales are now 25/1 to qualify and Scotland are 5/1 with William Hill. Scotland’s odds of winning the competition overall have now drifted to 250/1 from 200/1 and Wales are 400/1 to win the tournament.

William Hill International Football Odds:

Next Wales Manager:
Ian Rush 5/6
Brian Flynn 11/8
Chris Coleman 9/2
Terry Venables 8/1
John Hartson 20/1
Kenny Jackett 20/1
Dean Saunders 22/1
Gary Speed 22/1

5/2 Kenny Jackett; 3/1 Brian Flynn; 3/1 Chris Coleman; 6/1 Mark Hughes; 6/1 Ryan Giggs; 9/1 Gary Speed; 10/1 Dean Saunders; 12/1 John Hartson; 14/1 Tony Pulis; 16/1 Martin O’Neill; 18/1 Dave Jones; 20/1 BAR

YOU BET JACKETT SUITS WALES JOB

MILLWALL boss Kenny Jackett has been backed from 20/1 to 5/2 favourite with William Hill to succeed John Toshack as permanent manager of Wales after a flurry of bets of up to £200 (struck at 8/1) a time. ‘Some substantial bets in Wales and Worcester, on what has been a quiet market thus far have sent Jackett’s odds tumbling – it wouldn’t suit us if he were to pocket the job – the stakes weren’t just buttons, we now face a five figure payout after this off the cuff gamble’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. Jackett has leap-frogged Chris Coleman and initial favourite Ryan Giggs in the betting.

WILLIAM HILL…..NEXT PERMANENT WALES MANAGER

Kenny Jackett – 5/2…..Chris Coleman, Brian Flynn – 3/1……Ryan Giggs,Mark Hughes, – 6/1….Gary Speed – 9/1….Martin O’Neill…16/1.

Support For Swiss To Beat England As Hartson Becomes Wales Boss Contender

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

SWISS BACKED TO ROLL OVER ENGLAND

William Hill say punters are placing bigger bets on Switzerland than England to win their Euro qualifier – ‘We have taken bets of 1500 euros and £1200 for the Swiss at 7/2, along with scores of other, smaller bets, while the support for England consists pretty much just of the two £1100 bets we have taken for them at 5/6 – for once, and it is exceedingly rare – we face a much higher liability for England’s opponents and as our book stands pre-kick off the Swiss are likely to be a six figure loser for us, thus enabling us to support England for once – unless there is a late rush of support.’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

William Hill – 7/2 Switzerland; 12/5 draw; England 5/6.

HARTSON FOR WALES?

JOHN Hartson has declared himself a contender for the job of Wales manager, and William Hill now make the fomer Luton Town striker 12/1 seventh favourite for the job, for which Ryan Giggs is 11/4 favourite with Hills also offering 3/1 Brian Flynn; 7/2 Chris Coleman; 6/1 Mark Hughes; 9/1 Gary Speed; 10/1 Dean Saunders. ‘There has been no substantial support for anyone as yet which suggests that noone has yet been directly approached about the role’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

RYAN GIGGS has been installed as 11/4 favourite by William Hill to succeed John Toshack as permanent manager of Wales. ‘Giggs would appear to be a popular choice to take over, but a lack of experience and the fact that he is still playing well may mean that the opportunity will come a little too early for him’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

6/1 Megson To Be Last Prem Boss To Go This Season

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

6/1 MEGSON TO BE LAST PREM BOSS TO GO THIS SEASON

WILLIAM HILL have opened a book on how many more Premier League managers will follow Gary Megson out of their psitions this season – and offer 6/1 that he will be the last to go. ‘With the January transfer window looming up, clubs may consider that there is little point switching managers afterwards, so if we don’t see more departures within the next few weeks that may just be it for the season. However, chairmen are also capable of coming up with different reasons for disposing of out of favour managers, so I suspect we’ll take plenty of money at 20/1 for another four or more to go – particularly as several clubs appear to have severe financial problems.’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

HILLS – HOW MANY MORE PREM BOSSES WILL GO BEFORE END OF CAMPAIGN?
0 6/1
1 11/10
2 7/4
3 7/1
4+ 20/1

WILL PAUL LOVE TO GO A-WANDERING DOWN BOLTON WAY?

PAUL JEWELL has been backed down to favouritism to become the next Bolton manager with William Hill who now make him an 11/4 shot from an opening 5/1 to get the job full-time and also offer: 9/2 Peter Reid; 5/1 Mark Hughes; 7/1 Darren Ferguson; 10/1 Alan Curbishley; Gary Speed; 12/1 Owen Coyle; 14/1 Steve Coppell; 16/1 Iain Dowie; Alan Irvine; Gareth Southgate. ‘As with most situations of this nature, this has been a volatile market early on, but Jewell and Reid have both come in for significant support as the day has gone on’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

REID MY LIPS – PETER BEST BACKED BOLTON BOY

PETER REID has been the heaviest backed contender for the Bolton job with William Hill who have now cut his odds from 10/1 when the book opened on Wednesday, to 9/4 favourite. ‘Reid is now a potential four figure loser for us after a flurry of support during the day, but he is still not being backed as though he was on the verge of taking the job, so we think this race has some way to go yet’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Favourite when the day started, Paul Jewell is now Hill’s 4/1 second favourite, and they also offer 6/1 Darren Ferguson; 7/1 Mark Hughes; 10/1 Alan Curbishley Owen Coyle; 14/1 Gary Speed; 16/1 Steve Coppell; Ian Dowie; Walter Zenga.
