United 4/9 To Maintain Five Point Gap At Top Of Table

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

The title race could take yet another twist on Sunday with both Manchester sides in action. William Hill are offering 14/1 that Manchester United win and Manchester City lose, leaving the Reds eight points ahead before their game next weekend. Hills also offer 10/1 that the opposite happens and Manchester City close the gap to just two points. The favourite is that United retain their five point gap (at 4/9) with United having the chance to win the Premier League at the home of their bitter rivals. Hills are go 5/2 that they do just that (2/7 they do not).

“Manchester United would surely love the opportunity to win the title at the Etihad, but in the same vein, City will be determined not to let that happen and the derby next week could hinge on the two games on Sunday,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Alex Ferguson talked about how he expects that Wayne Rooney will beat Bobby Charlton’s Manchester United goalscoring record and William Hill go 2/1 that he just that during his career (4/11 that doesn’t).

How many points will Manchester United be clear after this week’s round of Premier League fixtures: 10/1 two; 5/1 three; 50/1 four; 4/9 five; 50/1 six; 7/1 seven; 14/1 eight

Manchester United to win the League at Manchester City: 5/2 yes; 2/7 no

Wayne Rooney to beat Bobby Charlton’s Manchester United goalscoring record: 2/1 yes; 4/11 no

Book On Young Player Of The Year After Massive Gamble On Walker

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

William Hill have closed the book on PFA Young Player of the year after Kyle Walker was backed in from 33/1 outsider to 5/6 to scoop the award. The straw that broke the camel’s back was when a punter in Leeds entered a shop asking to place £1200 on the Tottenham right back.

“This is a market in which the outcome is predetermined and while the majority of punters who want a genuine bet outweigh those that already know, unfortunately we think we may have inadvertently found out the winner of the Young Player of the Year,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

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

Robin van Persie is the 1/10 favourite to win the PFA Player of the Year award with William Hill after a fantastic season that has seen him score 27 goals so far this season. After starting the season so well, David Silva is the second favourite, some way behind van Persie at 7/1 with Wayne Rooney at 10/1.

“There have been some fantastic players on show this year in the Premier League, but van Persie really stands out from the crowd,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Surprisingly not in the shortlist for the senior player of the year, Gareth Bale heads the betting for the PFA Young Player of the Year at 4/7 although Sergio Aguero is just behind him at 5/4 with Daniel Sturridge and Danny Welbeck 14/1 joint third favourites.

PFA Player of the Year: 1/10 Robin van Persie; 7/1 David Silva; 10/1 Wayne Rooney; 14/1Sergio Aguero; 25/1 Joe Hart; 33/1 Scott Parket

PFA Young Player of the Year: 4/7 Gareth Bale; 5/4 Sergio Aguero; 14/1 Daniel Sturridge; 14/1 Danny Welbeck; 33/1 Alex Oxlade Chamberlain; 33/1 Kyle Walker

Goal-line Technology 3/1 To Be Introduced By The Start Of Next Season

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

Once again referees were at the centre of controversy, this time Martin Atkinson ruling that Chelsea had scored a second goal at Wembley and William Hill think that there will be even more clamour for goal-line technology than there has been in recent weeks. Backed in from an original 5/1, Hills now offer 3/1 that the FA introduce measures by the start of next season (2/9 that they do not).

“This season has seen a number of high profile refereeing blunders, especially in recent weeks and there will surely, once more, be a call to the FA to introduce goal-line technology,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Andy Carroll scored the winner for Liverpool against Everton in the FA Cup semi final and William Hill make him 8/1 to score the last goal of the match in the final and also offer 12/1 that he is named official Man Of The Match in the final. Liverpool are the 6/5 favourites to win the FA Cup with Spurs 2/1 and Chelsea 9/4.

Luis Suarez was named Man Of The Match and he is 8/1 to receive the award again in the final.

“Andy Carroll was knocking on the door all day and his goal was much deserved,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “His current purple patch may have come too late for an England call up;, but despite this, we think he could have a say in the final.”

Spurs are 4/5 favourites to qualify from tomorrow’s game, while Chelsea are 10/11. After the late drama at Wembley on Saturday, Hills offer 4/1 that Sunday’s winners come from behind to win the match. With the match almost too close to call, Hills go 6/1 about it going to penalties.

Suarez to be named official Man Of Match in final – 8/1

Andy Carroll to be named official Man Of Match in final – 12/1

Caroll in England squad for summer – 3/1 YES 2/9 NO

Winner of tomorrow’s game to come from behind to win in 90 minutes – 4/1

Damien Comolli has departed Anfield and William Hill are offering odds on which of ‘his’ signings will have left Anfield. The £35million man, Andy Carroll is 5/4 to no longer be at the club on the first day of next season, while his partner in crime, Luis Suarez, is the same price to no longer be a Liverpool player next season.

Frank Lampard was one of the players selected to model Chelsea’s new kit, prompting William Hill to cut his odds of being at Chelsea next season from 4/6 to 4/11 (2/1 to have left).

“There were many who said that Frank was off to while away his days with his pal Backs in America, but his recent form coupled with his undoubted desire to remain a Chelsea player has lead us to reassess our opinion,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.
