WILLIAM HILL have opened a book on when Darren Bent will score his first goal for Villa and make the game against Manchester City their 15/8 favourites, but offer 10/3 that he fails to score at all in any of his first five games. ‘Bent’s career scoring record suggests he should not take more than three games to get off the mark’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

HILLS OFFER 5/4 THAT DARREN BENT WILL START A MATCH FOR ENGLAND DURING 2011 – 4/7 THAT HE WON’T.’England aren’t exactly over-blessed with striking talent so Darren has a pretty good chance of getting back into the England starting line-up’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WHEN WILL BENT SCORE HIS FIRST GOAL FOR VILLA?
V MAN CITY….15/8
@ WIGAN…….2/1
@ MAN UTD….9/1
V FULHAM…….5/1
@ BLACKPOOL….10/1
NONE OF NEXT FIVE…..10/3

WILLIAM HILL have opened a book on how many Premier League goals Darren Bent will score for Villa this season and make 4-6 their 7/4 favourite. ‘Bent is a proven Premier League striker but could take a while to gel with his new team mates, so we are erring on the side of caution with our odds’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
DARREN BENT GOALS FOR VILLA

Becks 6/1 To Score Against Man U For Spurs – Kenny Odds On To Get Liverpool Gig Long Term

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

*************************************WILLIAM HILL MIDWEEK FOOTBALL ROUND UP*****************************************

BECKS TO BATTER FERGIE?….William Hill offer 6/1 that David Beckham will score for Spurs against Manchester United if he signs on loan for them this January. (Bets void if Beckham does not sign for Spurs)

ENGLAND ODDS-ON TO BEAT GHANA. England have been made 1/2 favourites to win their forthcoming friendly with Ghana by William Hill who make the away team a 5/1shot with the draw AT 12/5.

YOU BET KENNY IS THERE FOR LIVERPOOL LONG HAUL

KENNY DALGLISH has been backed from 13/8 to 10/11 favourite to win the manager’s job at Liverpool on a permanent basis following the club’s FA Cup defeat at Old Trafford. ‘Clearly the fact that his team conceded a first minute penalty, had their skipper sent off and failed to score has impressed punters, who haven’t wanted to back anyone else to get the job on a long-term basis’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

NEXT PERMANENT LIVERPOOL MANAGER?….10/11 Dalglish; 9/2 O’Neill; 11/2 Coyle; 6/1 Rijkaard; 7/1 Rangnick; 8/1 Villas-Boas. Others on request.

WHERE WILL LIVERPOOL FINISH IN PREM?….top 4 – 20/1; 5th-7th 11/8; 8th -10th -13/8; 11th-14th – 3/1; 15th-17th – 10/1; Bottom three – 25/1.

WILL KENNY FIND TORRES SCORING BOOTS?….With Kenny Dalglish declaring he can bring the best out of mis-firing striker Fernando Torres, William Hill are betting on how many Premier League goals he will score during the remainder of the season – and make 6 or less their 5/4 favourite. ‘Torres has not looked the same player for Liverpool since the World Cup, at which although he ended up on the winning side he was not over impressive. His form could be the key to the rest of Liverpool’s season’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Hills…Torres PL goals for rest of season:

6 or less
5/4

7 to 9

10 or more

CARLING CUP:

YOU BET CARLTON WILL BE UP FOR CARLING

CARLTON COLE has socred in his last five Carling Cup games and William Hill make him a 6/4 chance to continue the sequence against Birmingham in their Semi Final first leg game on Tuesday.

HILLS…TO WIN CARLING CUP…8/15 Arsenal; 7/2 Birmingham; 9/2 West Ham; 14/1Ipswich.

Semi Final first leg with most goals:

West Ham v Birmingham
12/5

Tie
3/1

Ipswich v Arsenal
8/11

GRANT NEXT FOR MANAGERIAL HAMMERING?

AVRAM GRANT is 1/3 favourite with William Hill to be the next Premier League manager to leave his club this season. Hills also offer 11/2 Houllier; 11/2 Ancelotti; 10/1 McCarthy; 16/1 Hughes; 16/1 Martinez; 20/1 Kean; Di Matteo; Mancini; No more managers to go this season. ‘Mr Grant has been favourite in this market on five different occasions so far, and managed to survive thus far, so he probably isn’t even popular with football punters in general, let alone West Ham fans at the moment’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
