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

HOW MANY GAMES BAN WILL ADEBAYOR BE HANDED?

WILLIAM HILL have opened a book on how many games’ ban Adebayor will be given for his alleged celebration and tackle misdemeanours during the Manchester City-Arsenal game – and offer 9/2 that he will avoid any penalty whatsoever.
‘In the current climate it seems pretty certain that Adebayor will face an FA ban – and we reckon three games is the most likely initial penalty.’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. ‘Our market is on the first decision made and excludes any subsequent appeal’ added Sharpe.

WHAT BAN WILL ADEBAYOR BE GIVEN?….0 9/2 1 6/1 2 5/1 3 4/1 4 7/2 5 9/2 6 13/2 7+ 14/1 (Market on initial ban,excluding appeal)

Sol Headed Back To Prem? Bet On It

SOL HEADED BACK TO PREM? BET ON IT

WILLIAM HILL have opened a book on where Sol Campbell will next play his football – and rate the Premier League the 5/2 favourite.

‘Sol’s future is a matter of huge speculation and his ill-fated liaison with League Two has probably raised his profile so high that there will be no shortage of offers from other clubs as a result – he’ll probably be looking to get back to the top level after what seems to have been an unproductive flirtation with League Two football’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Hills are also betting on whether Sven will remain at Notts County as Director of Football or Coach/Manager until the end of this season and offer 1/10 that he will, 11/2 that he will not. ‘Sven is in an ideal position at the moment – where someone else is getting the blame for the side’s current indifferent form. But if the current manager were to leave the pressure would be on Sven to take over – and then he’d be in the firing line if results weren’t up to expectation’ added Sharpe.

28/1 Argentina, France, Portugal To Miss Out On World Cup

28/1 BIG THREE TO MISS OUT ON WORLD CUP FINALS

WITH ARGENTINA, FRANCE AND PORTUGAL all struggling to qualify for the World Cup Finals, William Hill have opened a book on each of them doing so – and make Argentina most likely at 1/5 (10/3 not to), with France 2/7 to get to South Africa, 5/2 not to; while Portugal are 5/6 to make it, 5/6 not to.’The World Cup will be a poorer tournament for the loss of any or all of these sides – and betting turnover will certainly be heavier if they all make it – but if they don’t produce the goods in qualification they clearly don’t deserve to be there’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills offer 15/8 that ALL of them will get through – and 28/1that NONE of them will do so.

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

GAMBLE ON DARLING TO DO DIRTY ON BROWN

WITH RUMOURS that plotters in the Labour Party are planning an effort to remove Gordon Brown as Leader, William Hill have slashed their odds about Alastair Darling succeeding him from 66/1 to 33/1. ‘Political punters seem to believe that another effort to unseat Gordon Brown is on the verge of being launched and we have seen considerable betting interest in Alastair Darling taking over’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
And Hills have also cut their odds about Gordon Brown being forced out or resigning before the next general Election from 6/4 to 5/4, but make him 4/7 still to be Leader when the Election takes place.
Alan Johnson is 6/4 favourite to succeed Brown with Hills who also offer: 7/1 Harriet Harman; 7/1 David Miliband; 8/1 Peter Mandelson; 10/1 Ed Miliband; 12/1 Jon Cruddas; James Purnell; 16/1 Ed Balls; Andy Burnham; Jack Straw; 33/1 Alastair Darling.
