Will ‘ Marmite ‘ Lamps Light Up England ?

WILL LAMPS LIGHT UP ENGLAND AGAINST MONTENEGRO?

WILLIAM HILL are undecided about Frank Lampard’s chances of starting England’s vital Euro qualifier against Montenegro despite his weekend hat-trick, and offer 5/6 that Capello WILL start him, 5/5 that he WILL NOT. ‘Lampard is football Marmite at the moment – dividing opinion between those who believe he is still an integral part of the England starting line up, and those who believe he is past his international sell-by date’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. Hills make Lampard 10/3 to score if he does start. And 9/1 to get the opening goal of the game.
Hills are also betting on whether other named players will start and make Cahill 4/7 to do so, with Carroll 5/2.
**England are 4/5 to win the game with Hills who make Montenegro 7/2 and the draw 12/5.

You Bet Forest Will Go For Rookie Robbo

FOREST 11/2 TO GO DOWN, 20/1TO GO UP

MANAGER-less Nottingham Forest could move for MK Dons’ boss Karl Robinson to succeed Steve McClaren, believe bookmakers William Hill who have installed the young manager as 15/8 favourite to become the next Forest supremo. ‘Robinson is a very young manager who has made a positive impression in his time at MK Dons and punters believe he is a leading candidate to move on to Forest even though he is still comparatively inexperienced’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘However, this is still an evolving market with no substantial bets yet being staked so it appears likely that the club has yet to identify its favoured contenders’

LATEST WILLIAM HILL NEXT PERMANENT FOREST BOSS ODDS…15/8 Robinson; 9/2 Billy Davies; 6 Brain Laws; 7 Roy Keane; 7 Gordon Strachan; 8 Dave Jones; 9 Martin O’Neill; 9 Nigel Clough; 10 Sean O‘Driscoll. Others on request.Prices subject to fluctuation.

Bookies Burned By Hottest Ever October!

The hottest ever October record temperature was broken on the first day of the month and bookmakers William Hill have been stung by an Indian Summer betting bonanza by meteorological punters. The odds of this month seeing the all time record of 29.4C (1985) had been backed in, all the way from 6/4 to 8/11 by the time that betting ceased at midnight on the 30th September.

“The previous record was officially confirmed as having been smashed just after one o’clock and Hills forked out a five figure sum to eager punters – no doubt on their way to buy burgers and bangers for a final Barbie of the year,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “We must have been the only people in the country praying for wind and rain.”

You Bet It’s All Rover For Shamrock Already

Tottenham are 1/10 red-hot favourites to beat Shamrock Rovers in Thursday night’s Europa League and William Hill offer 5/1 that Spurs score five or more goals. Rovers are 6/4 to score at any point during the match and 9/2 to lead during the game.

“Not even our Irish punters are rushing to back the Hoops and are more inclined to think there will be a Shamrock Shambles rather than a Rampant Rovers at White Hart Lane,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Last time round, all three Premier League teams secured draws and Hills are offering 250/1 that all three do so again on Thursday.

Tottenham are the 7/4 favourites to be the British side to progress furthest in the competition while Stoke are 15/8.

William Hill Europa League Odds:

Highest Scoring British Side: 10/11 Tottenham; 7/2 Stoke; 4/1 Celtic; 9/2 Fulham; 8/1 Birmingham (win only, dead heat rules apply)

Will Shamrock Rovers Score: 6/4 yes; 1/2 no

Will Shamrock Rovers Lead at any point: 9/2 yes; 1/8 no;

250/1 Every Premier League side to draw

British side to progress furthest: 7/4 Tottenham; 15/8 Stoke; 5/2 Fulham; 12/1 Celtic; 16/1 Birmingham

Europa League Outright: 8/1 PSG; 11/1 Atletico Madrid; 12/1 Tottenham; 16/1 Sporting Lisbon; 16/1 Udinese; 18/1 Lazio; 20/1 Schalke 04; 20/1 PSV; 20/1 Bilbao; 20/1 Dynamo Kiev; 25/1 BAR

Brit Backers Denied Once Again As Last Minute Pen Secures Draw

A last minute Valencia penalty denied Brit backers a Champions League double tonight. William Hill offer 11/8 that Manchester United are the furthest progressing British side and depite their draw, Chelsea are 9/4 second favourites.

“English punters will have been disappointed by the collective capitulation of both Manchester City and United, and Chelsea’s last minute concession will have done little to lighten the mood ,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Hills are offering 5/1 that there is an all British final in this year’s Champions League.

All of the pre game talk before the Chelsea game in Valencia revolved around Frank Lampard and he will have done no damage to his (purported) ‘diminishing’ career by bagging Chelsea’s only goal at the Estadio Mestalla. Hills go 3/1 about him starting England’s game against Montenegro next month.

Furthest progressing Brit side: 11/8 Man Utd; 9/4 Chelsea; 3/1 Man City; 6/1 Arsenal

Tevez On The Move In January…4/9 Never To Start For City Again

Carlos Tevez has attempted to build bridges with Roberto Mancini but William Hill do not think that his excuses will fly with the City boss and make the former captain 4/9 to fail to start a single game for City in the Premier League this season. His exit from City would appear to be edging ever closer and Hills make Juventus the 11/4 favourites to be the next side to capture his signature. He is 4/1 to sign for Corinthians, while he is 6/1 to join either Inter or AC Milan.

“Tevez appears to have made his bed and City will now be desperate to get rid of him,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “It would seem that he will not feature in a City starting XI ever again and Turin may be his most likely destination.”

Carlos Tevez:

To start a Premier League game for Manchester City: 13/8 yes; 4/9 no

Next Club: 11/4 Juventus; 4/1 Corinthians; 6/1 AC Milan; 6/1 Inter Milan; 7/1 Real Madrid; 8/1 PSG; 12/1 Napoli; 16/1 Chelsea; 20/1 Arsenal; 20/1 Barcelona; 25/1 Boca Juniors…(others on request, loan deals count)

Manchester Misery In Champions League…tevez Tantrum Means 11/4 To Not Start All Season

Both sides of Manchester failed to win in the Champions League and William Hill are offering 9/1 that both fail to qualify for the knock out rounds of the competition. City have now failed to win in two matches and are 7/4 to now finish third in Group A with top spot a drifting 9/2. Carlos Tevez refused to come off the bench and play for City in Munich and Hills offer 11/4 that he does not start another Premier League game for City this season.

“A disappointing evening was rounded off by Tevez refusing to come off the bench and the odds suggest that Mancini may well have finally lost patience with City’s former captain,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Despite the setback at Old Trafford, Manchester United are the 13/8 favourites to progress the furthest of all the British sides in this year’s Champions League. An all Manchester Final is 40/1.

British Team to progress the furthest: 13/8 Manchester United; 7/4 Chelsea; 7/2 Manchester City; 5/1 Arsenal

Tevez to start a Premier League game for Manchester City this season: 1/4 yes; 11/4 no

Manchester City Group A Finishing Position: 9/2 Winner; 7/4 second; 7/4 third; 3/1 fourth

Manchester United and Manchester City both to fail to qualify from Group stages: 9/1

Will Big Sam Be The Big Man For England?

Sam Allardyce believes that he has what it takes to be the next England manager and claims that his stake would be strengthened should he get West Ham promoted this season. Allardyce is currently a 20/1 shot with William Hill to get the job after Fabio Capello leaves his post. Harry Redknapp is currently the 8/11 favourite with Martin O’Neill 8/1 second favourite.

“Big Sam has always been around the fringes whenever there has been discourse about the England manager’s job and he clearly thinks that he could still do the job,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Next England Manager: 8/11 Harry Redknapp; 8/1 Martin O’Neill; 11/1 Roy Hodgson; 12/1 Gareth Southgate; 16/1 Stuart Pearce; 16/1 Steve Bruce; 16/1 Joes Mourinho; 20/1 Sam Allardyce; 20/1 Carlo Ancelotti; 20/1 Gus Hiddink; 20/1 Arsene Wenger; 25/1 David Beckham; 25/1 Glenn Hoddle; 25/1 Mark Hughes; 25/1 Alan Shearer; 25/1 Ian Holloway…others on request

You Bet Arsenal’s Bad Luck Is Behind Them…4/7 To Outscore Chelsea On Thursday

Fernando Torres scored and then saw red against Swansea on Saturday and William Hill are offering 6/4 that Torres bags a goal against Valencia, while he is 25/1 to get sent off. Should Torres start the match, he is 4/6 to fail to finish and is 11/10 to play all 90 minutes. Robin van Persie found his shooting boots at the weekend, bagging a brace and Hills go 2/1 that he scores more goals than Torres on Wednesday (the Spaniard is 10/3 to outscore van Persie) and they are 4/5 to score the same amount of goals.

“Arsenal have finally secured back to back wins this season and will be looking to build on their mini revival by putting in an accomplished performance against Olympiacos,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Arsenal are 1/3 to defeat Olimpiacos and their success in that match is considered enough of a certainty for Hills to offer 4/7 that Wenger’s men score more than Chelsea on Wednesday evening.

Match Bets:
1/3 Arsenal; 8/1 Olympiacos; 4/1 Draw
2/1 Valencia; 7/5 Chelsea; 11/5 Draw

Torres Red Card: 25/1

If Torres Starts Will He Finish: 11/10 Yes; 4/6 No

Who Will Score More Goals Chelsea Or Arsenal: 4/7 Arsenal; 3/1 Chelsea; 16/5 Draw

Torres vs. RVP (most goals) on Wednesday: 10/3 Torres; 2/1 Robin van Persie; 4/5 Draw

Gerrard 7/4 To Start For England

STEVEN GERRARD 7/4 TO START FOR ENGLAND

William Hill offer 7/4 that Steven Gerrard will start England’s next Euro qualifier against Montenegro in October – and offer 6/5 that if he starts he will finish the game. ‘Gerrard is unlikely to have played a great deal of football before that game, so Capello may decide not to risk starting him’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WILLIAM HILL:

WILL GERRARD START VE MONTENEGRO?…..7/4 YES; 2/5 NO
WILL GERARD FINISH THE GAME IF HE STARTS?….6/5 YES; 8/13 NO
