Liverpool Red Hot For Carling Cup Glory

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

Liverpool squeaked through into the final of the Carling Cup and unsurprisingly, the Reds are hot favourites to bring the trophy back to Anfield. William Hill make Kenny Dalglish’s men 1/7 to lift the trophy and 2/5 to win the final in 90 minutes. Cardiff are the outsiders and they are 4/1 to lift the trophy and 13/2 to win in 90 minutes. Hills think that Liverpool are such favourites that they have already started taking bets on how many goals Liverpool score on the day and make one the 15/8 favourite although they are 5/2 to score three or more on the day while Cardiff are 4/6 to score no goals.

“Whoever won between Liverpool and Manchester City were always going to be favourites to lift the Cup and we think the cup engraver may as well start practicing writing Liverpool now,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Andy Carroll found himself on the bench against City tonight and William Hill make him 5/6 to fail to start against Manchester United at the weekend.

Carling Cup Outright: 1/7 Liverpool; 4/1 Cardiff

2/5 Liverpool; 13/2 Cardiff; 13/5 draw

Total Liverpool Final Goals
None – 3/1
One – 15/8
Two – 2/1
Three or more – 5/2

Cardiff City to score – 11/10 yes; 4/6 no

Carroll to start vs Man Utd on Saturday 28th January FA Cup
Yes – 5/6
No – 5/6

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

John Terry and Anton Ferdinand come face to face for the first time since their on-pitch altercation and William Hill are offering 11/10 that the England skipper is snubbed during the pre-match handshakes by Ferdinand.

“With first Wayne Bridge and secondly Anton Ferdinand, John Terry is running out of people to shake hands with,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill are offering 6/4 that Lampard has left Chelsea before the start of next season and make PSG the 5/4 favourites to capture the England midfielder with LA Galaxy 15/8 and Real Madrid 8/1.

Another former Chelsea manager hitting the headlines is Jose Mourinho who could be on his way out of the Bernabeu. William Hill offer 6/5 that he has left Real Madrid by the start of next season and another manager swapping London for the Spanish capital could be Arsene Wenger, who is the 10/3 favourite to take the Real hot seat ahead of Rafa Benitez and Joachim Low at 7/1.

William Hill Odds:

Anton Ferdinand and John Terry to shake hands this weekend: 4/6 yes; 11/10 no

Frank Lampard next club: 5/4 PSG; 15/8 LA Galaxy; 8/1 Real Madrid; 10/1 Inter Milan; 12/1 Milan

Frank Lampard to be at Chelsea on the first game of next season: 1/2 yes; 6/4 no

Tevez to leave Manchester City in January: 1/2 yes; 6/4 no

Tevez to play for Manchester City again: 2/9 no; 3/1 yes

Mourinho to leave Real Madrid by the start of next season: 6/5 yes; 8/13 no

You Bet Olympic Saga Could Be Sorted Soon…

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

West Ham are allegedly growing frustrated with the lack of movement on the Olympic Stadium front. William Hill think that any problems should be sorted out by 2015, offering 2/7 that any team (in any professional division) is playing or has played a full season of home league matches at the Olympic Stadium by 2015.

“The Olympic Stadium saga has been running for quite a while now, but we think that once the Olympics are out of the way, the Stadium issue will become number one priority and should be sorted relatively quickly,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly

A team to play a full season/be playing a full season of home league matches at the Olympic Stadium by 2015: 2/7 yes; 5/2 no

Hills offer 1/2 that Balotelli’s next club (including loans) is based in Serie A. He is 7/2 to move to Spain and 6/1 to remain in the Premier League after leaving Manchester City.

“Balotelli may feel that he is being victimised but despite this, we think that he will remain a City player,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Balotelli is in to 1/100 to receive any ban for his alleged stamp on Scott Parker (16/1 to not).

1/8 For Balotelli To Receive Retrospective Ban

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

Mario Baolotelli could well face retrospective action after appearing to stamp on the head of Scott Parker. Bookmakers, William Hill, are offering odds of 1/8 that Balotelli receives a four match ban from the FA and 9/2 that he does not. With Balotelli already having one red card to his name, William Hill are odds on, at 4/7 that he does not receive another this season, although he is 9/4 to get one more red card and 7/2 to get two or more.

“Balotelli is a volatile character and is always likely to be in the headlines but we think that while it is likely that he will receive a ban this time around, it could be the shot in the arm that turns his season around,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Will Balotelli receive a ban relating to Scott Parker Incident on Sunday: 1/8 yes; 9/2 no

Balotelli Red cards this season (only includes red cards shown on pitch and not retrospective bans): 4/7 one; 9/4 two; 7/2 three or more

Arsenal Fan Cheering Despite Defeat As He Bags £31,638.47

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

Arsenal may have been defeated by Manchester United on Sunday, but there was one Gooner who was celebrating well into the early hours. An Irish William Hill punter (and avid Arsenal fan) from Stockport bagged a whopping £31,638.47 from a £10 stake. The punter, who usually bets £10 a week on the football, put all of his eggs in one basket and predicted 14 games in which both teams would score including Arsenal’s 2-1 defeat to United.

The 28 year old punter has only lived in the UK for 7 months and chose to do the ‘Will Both Teams Score?’ coupon for the very first time on Sunday. “This is the first time that I have played this coupon and I will certainly be having a little punt on it next weekend.”

The ‘Will Both Teams Score?’ coupon is one of William Hill’s fastest growing coupons despite only having been around for just over two years. “The coupon is incredibly popular because the bet lasts for 90 minutes of each match,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. The bet paid out at odds of 3163/1 and is the largest payout that Hills have made on that coupon this season.

“About a year ago, we had a horrific weekend where every Premier League team scored and this is our biggest pay out on this coupon since then,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Winning Bet – Both Teams To Score:

8/13 Utrecht vs PSV
4/6 Man City vs Tottenham
10/11 Osasuna vs Valencia
4/7 AZ Alkmaar vs Ajax
4/6 VVV Venlo vs Feyenoord
1/1 Valenciennes vs Bastia
8/13 Arsenal vs Manchester United
5/6 Siena vs Napoli
5/6 Lecce vs Chievo
8/11 Hamburg vs Dortmund
1/1 Inter Milan vs Lazio
8/11 Leverkusen vs Mainz
8/11 Real Madrid vs Ath Bilbao
11/10 Marseille vs Le Havre

6/4 For King Kenny To Abdicate Before The Start Of Next Season!

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

Andy Carroll suffered another tough day at the office and William Hill are offering 7/4 that he fails to score in the next four games, although he is 6/4 to score against Manchester City in the Carling Cup. Having seemed like an almost certainty to be part of the England squad for Euro 2012, Hills are now offering 5/6 that Carroll fails to make the cut. Kenny Dalglish is also suffering at the moment as Liverpool are suffering a tough time of it and Hills make him 6/4 to no longer be boss on the first day of next season.

“There is no doubt that Liverpool are struggling at the moment and Dalglish is 25/1 to be the next Premier League manager to go and he is just 6/4 to have left the position by the start of next season,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Bolton Wanderers surprised Liverpool but remain embroiled in a relegation battle and William Hill make the8/11 to go down, with Wigan the 2/9 favourites and Blackburn 4/5. Hills also offer 11/4 that all three of the troubled North-West sides (Bolton, Blackburn and Wigan) are relegated together.

William Hill odds:

Kenny Dalglish to be Liverpool boss on 1st day of next season: 1/2 yes; 6/4 no

Andy Carroll to make England’s Euro 2012 squad: 5/6 yes; 5/6 no

When will Andy Carroll score next: 6/4 Manchester City; 5/2 Manchester United; 4/1 Wolves; 6/1 Tottenham; 7/4 None of these matches

Premier League relegation: 2/9 Wigan; 8/11 Bolton; 4/5 Blackburn; 10/11 Wolves; 7/4 QPR; 13/2 Swansea; 10/1 BAR

Premier League outright: 1/2 Manchester City; 5/2 Manchester United; 10/1 Tottenham; 33/1 Chelsea; 80/1 BAR

Third Premier League manager to leave their job: 2/1 Mick McCarthy; 11/4 Steve Kean; 7/2 Owen Coyle; 11/2 Andre Villas-Boas; 8/1 Alex McLeish; 8/1 No Manager to leave; 9/1 Roberto Martinez; 16/1 BAR

Punter Predicts Entire Prem Matches For £31.5k

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

A 74 year old William Hill punter from East Lothian called Tom Brown correctly managed to predict all eight Premier League results on Saturday and bagged himself a quite stunning £31,454.78 from just a £5 stake. Mr Brown, a retired Local Government officer and Hearts fan was waiting for a Bolton win on Saturday evening to complete his astonishing eightfold, an accumulator that looked all but dead as Stoke/WBA looked to be heading for a draw until James Morrison’s 91st minute winner. That last minute goal at the Britannia Stadium meant that Mr Brown had £5,242.46 running onto Bolton at 5/1.

“It was very nerve racking watching the Bolton/Liverpool but now that I have had my biggest ever win, I fully intend to share the winnings with my wife, son, daughter and family,” said Mr Brown.

“Bolton were the biggest outsiders all weekend in the Premier League and they were not expected to win so easily, although Mark Davies’ early will have settled Mr Brown’s nerves I’m sure,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Winning Selections in bold:

ODDS OF 6290/1

21/20 Fulham vs Newcastle
10/11 Sunderland vs Swansea
11/4 Draw Norwich vs Chelsea
5/2 Draw Everton vs Blackburn
5/1 Bolton vs Liverpool
17/10 Wolves vs Aston Villa
11/10 QPR vs Wigan
13/5 Stoke vs West Brom
