You Bet Hammers Won’t Even Sell Out Olympic Stadium

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

YOU BET HAMMERS WON’T EVEN SELL OUT FIRST COMPETITIVE MATCH IN OLYMPIC STADIUM

WILLIAM HILL have opened a book on what division West Ham will be playing in when they kick off in the Olympic Stadium for the first time. And Hills also offer 9/4 that there will be no visible athletics track at the stadium and 11/4 that they have installed retractable seating over the track, when they do start playing league games there. ‘West Ham’s status in the football pyramid and whether they will be able to remove or disguise the athletics track are likely to be crucial factors in the success of the scheme’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

But Hills remain to be convinced that West Ham will be able to sell out the Olympic Stadium for their first competitive game there, ‘Depending on what division they are in and how reluctant their fans are to travel to the new venue we think they will find it very difficult to sell out competitive games and offer 7/4 that they will be able to do so for their firat competitive game there’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

**West Ham’s first competitive game in Olympic Stadium to be a sell out?……..7/4 yes; 2/5 no.

**What division will West Ham be playing in when they play their first league match in the Olympic Stadium (bets void if they don’t play a match there by 2015)?

Premier 8/11……Championship 11/10…..Lower 16/1

**Will there be a visible athletics track at the stadium when West Ham play their first league match at the Olympic Stadium?

Yes 1/3…..No 9/4

**Will West Ham have a retractable seating system in place by the time they play their first league match at the Olympic Stadium?

Yes 11/4…..No 1/4

**Who will occupy the higher league placing on 1st January 2014?

West Ham 1/20…..Leyton Orient 8/1

**Will Avram Grant still be West Ham manager when they play their first league match at the Olympic Stadium?

Yes 100/30……No 1/5

YOU BET SAM IS NEXT IN LINE TO GO WEST

SAM ALLARDYCE has been installed as 6/5 favourite by William Hill to be West Brom’s next permanent manager – ‘Sam is available and qualified for the fire-fighting role which West Brom clearly believe they need to fill’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’There was no betting indication that Roberto d Matteo would be fired – he was a 6/1 chance to be the next boss out but had attracted no significant support’

Jamie Carragher 6/1 to foul Spaniard first:
YOU BET THEY’LL BE LINING UP TO FOUL TORRES!!

WITH Fernando Torres set to make his Chelsea debut against his former team-mates at Liverpool this weekend, William Hill have opened a book on which of those team-mates will be the first to foul him. ‘Of course not one Liverpool player will wish Torres anything other than a successful career at Chelsea, nor will any of them wish to be found guilty of foul play against him – but it is inevitable that one or more of them will foul him, and we rate Jamie Crragher as the most likely to do so first’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

First Liverpool Player To Foul Torres

Jamie Carragher 6/1 ….Martin Skrtel 7/1 ….Sotirios Kyrgiakos 7/1 ….Daniel Agger 8/1 …..Lucas 9/1 …Steven Gerrard 9/1 ….Martin Kelly 10/1 ….Fabio Aurelio 11/1 ….Glen Johnson 11/1 ….Jay Spearing 11/1 ….Raul Meireles 11/1 …Danny Wilson 12/1 ….Christian Poulsen 14/1 ….Joe Cole 16/1 ….Jonjo Shelvey 16/1 ….Dirk Kuyt 20/1 …Pepe Reina 20/1 ….David Ngog 25/1 ….Luis Suarez 25/1 ….Maxi Rodriguez 25/1 ….Milan Jovanovic 33/1

One fifth one,two, three.

How Many Different Liverpool Players Will Commit A Foul On Torres?

0-1 4/1 ………2-3 11/8 …..4-5 7/4 …..6 or more 3/1

**Torres MUST start the game or bets void.

Any player to receive a straight red card for a foul on Fernando Torres – 33/1

Number of players booked for fouling Torres – 0 – 8/13; 1 or more – 6/5.

TORRES is 11/10 to score in the game with Hills, who also offer…. 10/3 to score the first goal, 10/3 the last; 9/2 to score two or more, 25/1 hat trick, 7/4 Torres to score in a Chelsea win.

MATCH ODDS….8/13 Chelsea; 13/5 draw; Liverpool 5/1

WILLIAM HILL offer 5/2 that David Beckham will become a Spurs’player at any stage of next season, 2/7 that he will not. ‘Harry Redknapp still seems keen on bringing Beckham to White Hart Lane’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WHO WILL BE ADAM’S FAMILY ON FIRST DAY OF NEXT SEASON?

WITH Blackpool’s Charlie Adam apprently determined to quit the club, William Hill are betting on where he will be playing his football on the first day of next season, and make Liverpool the 11/10 favourites. ‘It appears very unlikely that Charlie Adam will remain a Blackpool player once this season is over and Liverpool appear to be the leading contenders for his signature’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
**Charlie Adam’s club on the 1st day of the Premier League season 2011/12:
