Jeffries Gamble Underway As Burley Looks Doomed

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

Early ‘Killie-cash’ gamble on Jeffries as:
NO MORE BETS ON BURLEY TO GO

HAVING OFFERED 7/4 that Scotland boss George Burley would lose his job before the qualifiers for the next Euro tournament get underway, William Hill closed the book once it became obvious that he is likely to be sacked before the end of the week.
And punters have already poured cash on Kilmarnock manager Jim Jeffries succeeding Burley, forcing his odds down from an opening 20/1 to 5/1 joint favourite, along with Craig Levein and Walter Smith. Hills also offer 6/1 Gary McAllister; 7/1 Owen Coyle; 8/1 Billy Davies; 10/1 Darren Ferguson; Joe Jordan 12/1 Kenny Dalglish; Mark McGhee.
‘This is likely to be a very volatile market in the early stages, but the very fact that we are already seeing plenty of interest in Burley’s successor pretty much guarantees that he won’t be seeing the week out’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Hills close book on new manager, but ask:
HOW WILL NEW SCOTLAND BOSS FARE?

WILLIAM HILL, who are no longer betting on WHO will be the next Scotland manager, have opened a book on HOW well the successful candidate will do, and how long he or she will last in the post. ‘Given the fact that Ralph Topping, our CEO is also non-executive chairman of the SPL we would not like any aspersions to be cast in his or our direction in the event of any major gamble taking place on the identity of the new Scotland managerial appointment, so we have decided to close our book. All bets already taken will be honoured.’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills offer 8/1 that the new incumbent will succeed in getting Scotland qualified for the final stages of both the Euro 2012 and 2014 World Cup – but 4/6 that they fail to qualify for either. And Hills offer 11/4 that the new boss will still be in charge on January 1, 2014.

SCOTLAND; To Qualify For World Cup 2014…..1/6 No 7/2 Yes

WILLIAM HILL HAND BACK CASH ON IRISH WORLD CUP QUALIFICATION BETS

BOOKMAKERS WILLIAM HILL are refunding stake money to all punters who backed Republic of Ireland to qualify for the final stages of the World Cup following the controversy over the Thierry Henry goal which knocked them out. Hills will also be paying out on bets for the French to go through.
‘Leaving aside any moral scruples and the fact that noone knows what would have happened if the goal had been disallowed, William Hill feel that they are being as fair as possible to everyone by returning stake money to those who bet on the Irish going through’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’It will cost us a significant five figure sum’.
IRISH 100/1 TO GET WORLD CUP REPLAY

WILLIAM HILL offer 100/1 that FIFA will order the Republic v France World Cup game to be replayed. ‘There are two chances that this will happen – slim and none’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

**William Hill were the first bookmakers ever to make a gesture of this nature when, in 1986, they ‘disallowed’ Maradona’s ‘Hand of God’ goal for Argentina against England and refunded stakes to punters.
REPUBLIC ARE 5/4 WITH WILLIAM HILL TO QUALIFY FOR EURO ’12; AND 2/1 TO QUALIFY FOR WORLD CUP 2014.

Roy Keane 8/1 To Be Next Republic Boss

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

Replay odds slashed from 100/1 to 10/1:
YOU BET KEANE BLAST COULD BE JOB APPLICATION!

PUNTERS believe that Roy Keane’s blast at the Republic for failing to qualify for the World Cup may lead to him being invited to manage the team himself and have cut their odds about him becoming their next manager from 10/1 to 8/1. ‘Keane is obviously a very high profile character and it may just be that by saying what he did he was actually putting himself in the frame to take the side over when Trapattoni stands down- although he probably needs to improve his record at Ipswich first!’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
HILLS HAVE SLASHED THE ODDS ABOUT THE FRANCE-IRELAND GAME BEING REPLAYED FROM 100/1 TO 10/1. ‘Despite FIFA’s insistence that the game will not be replayed, punters are determined to bet that it will, and we have taken hundreds of bets, average size between £10 and £20, that it will happen.’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
