16/1 ENGLAND FRIENDLY LINE UP TO START NEXT COMPETITIVE MATCH

DESPITE Capello’s introduction of new blood into the squad for the friendly v Hungary, William Hill offer 16/1 that he will start with the same line up in the next competitive match v Bulgaria, as he opts for against the Hungarians. ‘The squad for this friendly could well prove to be a false dawn for those expecting a mass cull of the established players when Capello decides on his line up for the first Euro qualifier’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘And we certainly do not expect to see the same line up then – our best guess is that seven or eight who start v Hungary will also do so against Bulgaria.’

WILLIAM HILL have cut the odds for a Wembley attendance of between 60,000 – 69,999 from 7/2 to 15/8 as forecasts for the crowd at the England – Hungary friendly became a little more optimistic, and Hills also shortened the odds for 50,000 to 59,999 from 9/4 to 15/8 joint favourite.
‘Noone seems sure whether fans will actually boycott the game, or want to take up his apparent invitation to boo the side, or perhaps even relent after Capello brought new blood into the squad and want to show their absolute satisfaction with his handling of the team’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

CHELSEA are 6/5 favourites with William Hill to win more major trophies than Manchester United, who are 13/8 to do vice versa. Hills offer 5/2 that they win an equal number. (Community Shield excluded; Europa League included along with Prem; FA and Carling Cups; Champions League)

HILLS OFFER 23/20 THAT CHELSEA WILL WIN NONE OF THE MAJOR TROPHIES (Prem,FA Cup; Carling Cup; Champions Lg) THIS SEASON – 150/1 THAT THEY WILL WIN ALL 4. Man U are 4/5 to win no more major trophies this season, 200/1 to win all four.

Oh No – O’ Neill Going Again !

OH, NO – YOU BET O’NEILL GOING – AGAIN!

WILLIAM HILL were forced to slash their odds about Martin O’Neill being the first Premier League manager of the season to leave his job from 8/1 to 8/11 after a flurry of bets on the Villa boss.
‘We have taken a string of three figure bets on the Villa boss to be the first Premier League boss to go this season – the majority of them from clients based in the Leicester area- and have now suspended the market pending any possible announcment from the club. However, we did see a very similar gamble on O’Neill to go towards the end of last season – and nothing came of it then’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Manchester City Next For Martin O’ Neill ? Bet On It

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

MANCHESTER CITY NEXT FOR O’NEILL? YOU BET!

WILLIAM HILL have opened a book on which club Martin O’Neill will next join as manager – and make Manchester City their 10/3 favourite, with Manchester United and England 6/1 joint second favourites. ‘Martin will probably sit and wait for a suitable job to come along – and he could be in exactly the right place at the right time for the City job if they don’t fare too well early on in the season – and for United if Sir Alex decides he has finally had enough of management’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
And Hills have also opened a book on how many more Premier League bosses will part company with their clubs this season – and make 5-6 their 6/4 favourite.

Bob A Job – Is It A Given ?

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

BOB – A JOB?

BOB BRADLEY is 11/4 favourite to become the next Aston Villa manager with William Hill who also offer 6/1 Bilic; Curbishley; Erikkson; 7/1 Jol; Southgate; 8/1 McLaren.

‘Bradley has no club experience in the English game but did well with USA, while Bilic and Erikkson seem to crop up on every list of potential managers for every high profile job which comes along – which could be more a tribute to their agents and pr people than their managerial abilities.’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘It seems that the O’Neill walk-out genuinely took the club by surprise so they are unlikely to be able to replace him immediately so this market is likely to change dramatically over the next few days’.

IS IT A GIVEN THAT SHAY WILL START FOR CITY?

WITH neither Shay Given nor Joe Hart happy to be regarded as the number two keeper at Man City, William Hill make Given 1/2 favourite to start in their opening match of the seaon, with Hart 6/4 to get the nod.
Hills offer 8/11 that BOTH Given and Hart will still be City players at the close of the January transfer window, EVENS that one or both will have left by then.

25/1 Fabio To Quit By Midnight Wednesday

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

FABIO 25/1 TO QUIT BEFORE MIDNIGHT WEDNESDAY

WITH FABIO Capello inviting England fans to boo his team on Wednesday and his ‘new look’ side’s performance sure to be savaged if they do not beat Hungary comfortably, William Hill offer 25/1 that Capello will quit before midnight tomorrow. ‘If the fans do take up his invitation to boo and the new look team is unimpressive the media will be ready to savage him again and that could be the final straw for Fabio’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. ‘And the FA would have a ready replacement in Martin O’Neill close at hand and free to take up the job – he’s 6/1 to become England manager as his next appointment.’
ENGLAND ARE 2/7 TO BEAT HUNGARY WITH HILLS WHO MAKE THE DRAW 4/1 AND A HUNGARIAN VICTORY 10/1.

HOW MAY WILL TURN UP FOR ENGLAND V HUNGARY?

WILLIAM HILL are betting on what official attendance for the England v Hungary friendly will be on Wednesday – and make 50,000-59,999 and 60,000-69,999 their 15/8 joint favourites. ‘The FA are hyping the potential turnout upwards while the media are doing the opposite, so it will be fascinating to see what the actual attendance will be’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WHERE WILL BELLAMY GO NEXT?

WITH Craig Bellamy apparently resigned to having to leave Man City to play regularly this season, William Hill are betting on where he will play his first game after the transfer window closes assuming it is not for City, and make Celtic their 11/8 favourite. ‘Most neutrals thought Bellamy had an excellent season for City but he seems to have fallen out of favour there’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Celtic…11/8
Tottenham…2/1
Fulham….5/2
Aston Villa…14/1
Everton….16/1
Sunderland….16/1
Liverpool….20/1

(Bets void if first game after transfer window is for Man City)

**PAUL LAMBERT of Norwich has been backed from 16/1 to 8/1 with William Hill to become the next Villa boss.’We took several three figure bets for Lambert in the Staffordshire area but the gamble didn’t seem to spread any further than that’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.Hills make Bradley 11/4 fav and also offer 6 Bilic; Curbishley; Klinsmann; Sven; 7 Jol; Southgate.

**IAN HOLLOWAY has been backed from 8/1 to 11/2 with Hills to be the next Prem boss to leave his club.Hills make Hughton 7/2 fav and also offer 5 Mancini; 11/2 Di Matteo; Holloway; 6 Martinez.

Eriksson odds-on for Villa:
SVEN WILL THEY LEARN?

SVEN Goran Erikkson has been backed down to odds-on favourite to become the next Aston Villa boss with William Hill who have slashed his odds from 7/2 to 8/11 after taking a string of bets from punters wishing to bet up to £700 a time on the Swede to be appointed to yet another high profile job.
‘Although it isn’t quite clear just which piece of managerial magic achieved by Sven might encourage Villa to believe he can take them on from the Martin O’Neill era he has been backed as though he’s on the verge of signing a contract’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’Maybe it is his sensational achievements for the Ivory Coast, Mexico and Notts County which might make him irresistible to Villa, who knows, but when punters are willing to bet hundreds at odds on we can’t afford to take chances.’
NEXT VILLA BOSS…..8/11 Sven; 11/4 Bradley; 7 Jol; 8 Klinsmann; Kambert; 10 Curbishley; Southgate.

Bookies Running Scared Of Blackpool

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

BOOKIES RUNNING SCARED OF BLACKPOOL
BLACKPOOL fans have staked so many bets on their side to WIN the Premier League title this season that William Hill have had to slash their odds by a record EIGHT THOUSAND points in their betting – and now offer them at 2000/1 to win the title, having opened their book at 10,000/1. ‘We now face our biggest ever Premier League loss of OVER £5million if Blackpool somehow manage to win the League after hundreds of fans backed their side -albeit none of them risked more than a tenner’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’We won’t be losing much sleep over the prospect of that five million loss – at least, not until Blackpool win their first half dozen matches!’
Meanwhile, Hills say that they are in the bizarre position of wanting the reigning champions to do well this season, as they have taken very little cash for Chelsea to win the title again – and they currently represent the BEXT possible outcome for them. ‘We will win a hefty sum if Chelsea retain the title as the betting stands at the moment’ added Sharpe.
The second worst result for Hills would be a title triumph for Aston Villa – ‘most of those bets were struck before O’Neill walked out’- while Manchester United would be the third worst result for them, as they have attracted the largest bets so far – one of £10,000 from a Glasgow-based punter and a £6000 bet from a Norwich client.

LATEST WILLIAM HILL PREMIER LEAGUE ODDS…….13/8 Chelsea, 12/5 Man Utd, 9/2 Man City, 6/1 Arsenal, 14/1 Liverpool, 25/1 Tottenham, 100/1 Everton, 200/1 Aston Villa, 500/1 Newcastle, 1000/1 Fulham, 1000/1 West Ham, 1000/1 Sunderland, 2000/1 Blackpool, 2000/1 Blackburn, 2000/1 Birmingham, 2000/1 Stoke, 2000/1 Wigan, 2000/1 Bolton, 2000/1 Wolves, 2000/1 West Brom.

Rooney 12/1 not to score for England in next 4 games:
WHEN WILL ROONEY SCORE AGAIN FOR ENGLAND?
WILLIAM HILL offer 12/1 that Wayne Rooney will fail to score for England in any of their next four matches. ‘Rooney is overdue an England goal and we make him 8/13 to get one or more against Bulgaria in the next game but he is 12/1 to continue his drought for the next four England games’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. Hills also offer 9/2 that Rooney will NOT start the game against Bulgaria – 1/8 that he will do.

When will Rooney next score for England?
vs Bulgaria (H)8/13
vs Switzerland (A)10/3
vs Montenegro (H)9/2
vs Wales (A)12/1

To score in none of these games…..12/1

WILLIAM HILL have slashed their odds for a disappointing turnout at Wembley of between 40,000 and 49,999 fans for England’s friendly against Hungary from 20/1 to 6/4 after taking a flood of bets that the official attendance will be extremely low. Hills have also cut 30,000 – 39,999 from 66/1 to 3/1, and a humiliating 20,000- 29,999 from 100/1 to 16/1. ‘The FA are pulling out all the stops to encourage a decent turnout for this game,but with most clubs wishing it wasn’t happening and fans having shelled out for club season tickets, and following such a dismal World Cup performance, punters have decided a low turnout is a certainty’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
