HUGHES SORRY NOW? YOU BET HE MIGHT BE…………

BOOKMAKERS WILLIAM HILL have suspended their market on who will be the next Premiership manager to leave his club after a gamble on Mark Hughes saw his odds tumble ftom 6/1 to 2/1 as bets poured on to him on the internet, by telephone and in betting shops. ‘Bets were coming from all over – punters in Glamorgan, Warwickshire,Surrey, Bristol, Essex and central London all wanted to be on and all seemed to be prepared to take whatever price they were offered.’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
‘With no apparent readily available explanation to account for such a run of bets we have decided to remove the market until we can confirm that Mark Hughes is not under immediate threat of dismissal, or has not been handed any kind of ultimatum or deadline, which to us would seem to be the only way other than pure bandwagon effect to explain this gamble, which has involved strings of three figure bets’

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

YOU BET MICK McCARTHY WILL BE THROWN TO WOLVES

FOLLOWING THE CONTROVERSY over the team Wolves put out against Manchester United on Tuesday night, William Hill are betting on how many of those who started that match will do so against Burnley. ‘Mick has put up a vigorous defence of his team selection, which won’t cut much ice with those who believe a club’s strongest side should start every competitive match, nor with punters who thought that Wolves’ wo straight victories might give them the momentum to get something from a trip to United after they had bee beaten at home by Villa a couple of days earlier’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills, who offer 4/1 that McCarthy will be gone by the first day of next season, and 5/6 that Wolves will be relegated, make 2/3 their 11/10 favourite for how many will start, and offer 20/1 that it will be 8 or more.

How many of Wolves starting XI v Man Utd will start v Burnley:

0 or 1 6/4
2 or 3 11/10
4 or 5 4/1
6 or 7 12/1
8 or more20/1

Wolves team v Man Utd:

Wolves: Hahnemann ,Foley ,Elokobi ,Mancienne ,Hill ,Zubar ,Halford ,Surman ,Castillo ,Friend ,Maierhofer

Mick McCarthy to be Wolves manager on the 1st day of season 2010/11:

Yes: 1/7
No: 4/1

Wolves to be relegated: 5/6
Wolves to stay up: 5/6

WOLVES ARE EVEN MONEY TO BEAT BURNLEY WITH HILLS WHO MAKE THE DRAW 11/5 AND A BURNLEY WIN 11/5.

Ryan Kicks Butt…………….on

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

RYAN KICKS BUTT – ON…….. AND PUNTER WHO BET £24,000 ON JENSON
ONE William Hill punter lost over £24,500 and another £5000 in bets on odds on favourite Jenson Button who became the fourth consecutive beaten favourite, as Ryan Giggs, originally a 100/1 shot, won the BBC TV Sports Personality of the Year Award.
‘There was a massive gamble on Ryan Giggs winning which saw his odds slashed from 100/1 to 5/2 second favourite – and cost bookies a small fortune’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’Fortunately for us, we took some hefty bets for Button – one of our clients from Gloucester staked £24,560 on him, and another had £5000, which helped to soften the blow of Ryan’s win’
ANDY MURRAY has already been backed from 6/1 to 4/1 clear favourite with Hills to win the Award in 2010. ‘If England even go close to winning the World Cup it will almost certainly be a footballer who wins the Award next year’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’However, if they produce their usual quarter-final exit the Award will be wide open.’
WILLIAM HILL…..2010 BBC TV SPORTS PERSONALITY OF THE YEAR AWARD….4/1 Andy Murray; 6/1 Lewis Hamilton; 6/1 Wayne Rooney; 10/1 David Beckham; 10/1 Jenson Button; 12/1 David Haye; 12/1 John Terry; 14/1 Steven Gerrard; 20/1 Amir Khan; Jermain Defoe; Frank Lampard; 25/1 Theo Walcott; 25/1 Mark Cavendish; Rory McIlroy; Lee Westwood; 33/1 Michael Owen; 33/1 Bradley Wiggins; 50/1 Colin Montgomerie.
