Rooney Odds-on To See Fergie Off

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

Wayne Rooney was left out of the Manchester United side against Blackburn after reportedly breaking a curfew on Boxing Day, but William Hill think that Rooney will get his place in the starting line-up back, offering 1/5 that he starts the next game against Newcastle. This time last year, relations between Rooney and Sir Alex Ferguson were strained as Rooney requested a transfer and Hills offer 8/1 that he asks for another transfer at any point during the January window. Hills think that Rooney will actually see off Ferguson and go 1/2 that he is at United longer than Fergie (6/4 he is not).

Should he leave United, Hills make Manchester City the favourites to sign him at 5/1 with Real Madrid 8/1 and Chelsea and Barcelona at 10/1.

“Despite the sometime volatile relationship between Ferguson and Rooney, we think this particular incident is a mere blip in what we expect to be a long United career for Wayne,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Rooney to start vs Newcastle: 1/5 yes; 10/3 no

Rooney to score against Newcastle: 10/11 anytime; 7/2 first; 4/1 two or more; 20/1 hat-trick

Rooney to be sent off vs Newcastle: 33/1

Will Rooney request a transfer in the January window: 8/1 yes; 1/20 no

Who will be at Manchester United longer: 1/2 Rooney; 6/4 Ferguson

When will Rooney leave Manchester United: 7/1 2012; 11/2 2013; 9/4 2014; 15/8 2015; 12/1 2016; 5/2 2017 or later

Wayne Rooney next club: 5/1 Manchester City; 8/1 Real Madrid; 10/1 Barcelona; 10/1 Chelsea

Last Gasp Goal Is £18,000 Happy New Year Winner

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

Ian Stern, a 37 year old from Leeds, is celebrating a New Year’s Day to remember after winning over £18,000 on a William Hill football coupon for a stake of just £3.28. And a goal scored in the dying seconds of a match by York player Jamal Fyfield was worth £17,000 of his winnings!

Ian predicted a New Year ‘goalfest’ in the Blue Square Premier – and was vindicated when he selected eight games that produced four or more goals and included them in eight 41p seven-match accumulator bets.

Despite his fantastic win, Ian claims to be more of a tennis fan, but if he is betting on football it is always on goals galore being scored.

“I always go for number of goals, rather than win accumulators because the bet runs from the first until the last minute,” said Ian. “And to have a win like this just after Christmas is a real bonus.”

Jamal Fyfield’s goal in the 91st minute of York’s 2-2 with Mansfield was the difference between Ian winning £1070.33 and his ultimate win of £18,165.90.

“Jamal Fyfield’s last gasp equaliser was fantastic for York’s fans, but even more so for Ian who claims that he does not support a particular team,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “My guess would be that his loyalties now rest with York.”

PLEASE NOTE: Ian’s contact details available on request.

Ian’s selections

Southport/Fleetwood over 3.5 goals 13/8 0-6
York/Mansfield over 3.5 goals 2/1 2-2
Wrexham/Telford over 3.5 goals` 2/1 4-0
Tamworth/Alfreton over 3.5 goals 2/1 2-2
Grimsby/Lincoln over 3.5 goals 9/4 3-1
Stockport/Barrow over 3.5 goals 12/5 3-2
Braintree/Cambridge over 3.5 goals 3/1 3-2
Kettering/Luton over 3.5 goals 6/4 0-5

All Chelsea Eyes Turn To Being Best Of The Rest

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

Andre Villas Boas insinuated that nothing less than a win would see Chelsea out of the running for the title and William Hill seem to agree offering 16/1 that Chelsea win the title behind Manchester City (8/13) and Manchester United (2/1). Villas-Boas is odds-on, however, at 1/3 to still be in charge of Chelsea for the first game of next season (9/4 not to be). Chelsea are in pole position to finish top of the sides excluding both Manchesters City and United at 11/8, just ahead of Tottenham at 13/8.

“If his post match talk were to be believed, Villas-Boas has already conceded defeat in his hunt for a Premier League title, but they still have a lot to play for and are in pole position to be the best of the rest,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Fernando Torres started the game once again on the bench and William Hill offer 11/2 that he leaves the club in January and 9/4 that he leaves in the summer. While Torres looked on, both Adebayor and Sturridge continued their rich vein of scoring form and they are 16/1 and 18/1 respectively to win the golden boot this year.

Premier League Outright: 8/13 Manchester City; 2/1 Manchester United; 16/1 Chelsea; 18/1 Tottenham; 33/1 Arsenal; 100/1 Liverpool

English Premier League – Top four finish: 2/5 Chelsea; 4/7 Tottenham; 11/10 Arsenal; 9/4 Liverpool

Villas Boas at Chelsea on first day of next season: 1/3 yes; 9/4 no

Top goalscorer: 16/1 Emmanuel Adebayor; 18/1 Daniel Sturridge

Premier League without Manchester United and Manchester City: 11/8 Chelsea; 13/8 Tottenham; 3/1 Arsenal; 6/1 Liverpool; 100/1 Newcastle; 150/1 Everton

Torres to leave Chelsea in January: 11/2 yes; 1/10 no*

Torres to leave in the summer transfer window: 9/4 yes; 1/3 no*

There’s Only One Kean-go

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

Bolton Wanderers secured a vital victory which leaves Blackburn rooted to the bottom of the Premier League at Christmas. Traditionally that means they will get relegated and William Hill agree, offering 4/9 that they go down. Bolton are 5/6 with Hills also offering Wigan at 8/15 and Wolves 7/4. Steve Kean is now under immeasurable pressure and Hills make him 1/4 to be the next manager to lose his job while Owen Coyle eased some of the pressure on him and he is 10/3 to be the next to go.

Hills are now offering odds on when Kean will actually depart Blackburn and make him 5/4 to have gone before Boxing Day and 9/1 to leave in the immediate aftermath of the Liverpool game that day (before the 31st). He is 8/13 to still be in charge when Blackburn take on Stoke on the 2nd of January.

“Steve Kean appears to be on borrowed time and there is only so long that the Venkys family can turn a deaf ear of the protestations of the Rovers fans,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Hills Premier League Relegation: 4/9 Blackburn; 8/15 Wigan; 5/6 Bolton; 7/4 Wolves; 5/2 Swansea; 7/2 QPR; 5/1 Norwich; 6/1 Sunderland; 11/1 BAR

Hills To Stay Up: 13/8 Blackburn; 11/8 Wigan; 5/6 Bolton; 2/5 Wolves; 2/7 Swansea; 1/6 QPR; 1/9 BAR

To Finish Bottom: 9/4 Wigan; 9/4 Blackburn; 9/2 Bolton; 9/1 Wolves; 12/1 QPR; 12/1 Swansea; 16/1 BAR

Next Premier League Manager to go: 1/4 Steve Kean; 10/3 Owen Coyle; 8/1 Andre Villas-Boas; 8/1 Alex McLeish; 11/1 Mick McCarthy; 16/1 Roberto Martinez; 16/1 Martin Jol; 25/1 BAR

To go first: 1/4 Kean; 11/4 Coyle

When will Kean leave Blackburn: 5/4 before December 26th; 9/1 After Liverpool (26th) and before Utd (31st); 12/1 After Manchester United (31st) and before Stoke (2nd Jan); 8/13 Still in charge for Stoke game (2nd)

Gone by New Year (Kean/Coyle): 8/13 none; 6/5 one; 20/1 both

Drogba’s Gain Means More Torres Pain…11/2 Torres Not To Net In 2011

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

Didier Drogba’s future may hang in the balance with his contract running out at the end of the season but his recent good form has seen William Hill make him 5/6 to still be at Chelsea on the first day of next season. He is currently keeping £50 million man, Fernando Torres, out of the team and while Drogba is 4/9 to start Chelsea’s next game, Torres is odds-on, at 4/6 to be sat on the bench.

“If Drogba continues his current vein of form, Torres could find it very difficult to get back in the team and Villas Boas could find it hard to turn down Drogba’s request for a new contract,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

If Torres’ output does not improve considerably, there is a chance that he could be on his way and Hills offer 9/4 that he is not at Chelsea come the start of next season. He is 11/2 to fail to score again in 2011 and 16/1 to never score a Premier League goal for Chelsea. Another player who has found himself on the fringes of the team at present is Frank Lampard and despite having 18 months to go on his contract, he is 6/5 to be elsewhere come the start of the 2012/13 season.

The pressure seems to have lifted off AVB’s shoulders after two good results and he is 4/6 to still be at Chelsea next season.

To start vs Wigan:

Drogba: 4/9 yes; 13/8 no

Torres: 11/10 yes; 4/6 no

Fernando Torres’ next Premier League goal: 1/1 Wigan (A); 7/2 Tottenham (A); 4/1 Fulham (H); 8/1 Aston Villa (H); 11/2 Fail to score again in 2011

16/1 Torres to never score for Chelsea in the Premier League again

To be at Chelsea on first day of next season:

5/6 Drogba (5/6 no)
1/5 Terry (10/3 no)
8/13 Lampard (6/5 no)
1/3 Torres (9/4 no)

4/6 Andre Villas Boas (11/10 no)

Martin Not So Jol – Y Well Off ?

Fulham boss survival odds cut:
NOT SO JOL-Y GOOD?

FULHAM’s exit from the Europa League, their lowly Premier League position, and reported rifts between the manager and certain players have seen the odds for him to be the next Premier League manager to leave his club this season cut from 20/1 to 12/1 fifth favourite by William Hill who now also offer 6/4 that he will no longer be in charge at Craven Cottage on the first day of next season. ‘Martin Jol seemed to have taken over a Fulham side in decent shape, but not much has gone right for them this season and if they fail to beat struggling Bolton at the weekend, he will come under serious pressure from the fans’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Share.
Hills currently offer Fulham at 9/1 to be relegated and 33/1 to finish bottom of the table.

WILLIAM HILL…Next Premier League manager to leave his club: 8/11 Kean; 2/1 Coyle; 6/1 Martinez; 8/1 AVB; 12/1 Jol; McLeish; McCarthy; 33/1 no more to go this season.

Punters And Villas-boas Back Torres To Stay

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

William Hill punters seem to agree with Andre Villas-Boas’ claims that Fernando Torres will be staying put for the time being, with considerable bets having been staked on him still being at Chelsea on the 1st February. Initially offered at 4/11, the weight of money coupled with Villas-Boas’ strong stance on Torres’ future, has seen this price slashed to 1/5. The majority of the money has come from Northern Ireland and Oxfordshire.

“Torres has endured a difficult first year at Chelsea but it appears that punters’ support matches that of his manager and it seems he will be given time to turn things around,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Malaga are 7/1 to be the club that Torres lines up for after the transfer window closes on and Manchester United are 9/1.

Where will Fernando Torres be on the 1st February 2012: 1/5 Chelsea; 7/1 Malaga; 9/1 Manchester United; 10/1 Atletico Madrid; 11/1 AC Milan; 14/1 PSG; 14/1 Inter Milan; 14/1 Manchester City; 16/1 Barcelona; 16/1 Liverpool; 16/1 Juventus; 20/1 Real Madrid; 25/1 Arsenal
