‘plastic Brits’ Could Be Hits At London 2012

Delano Williams is set to become the latest overseas athlete to try their hand in a Team GB vest and William Hill are offering 8/11 that he competes for Team GB at the Olympics in the 200m. Should he qualify, however, Hills think he will struggle to make an impression, offering 7/2 he makes the final, 33/1 he wins a medal and 200/1 he wins gold.

“Delano Williams is definitely one for the future,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “He is not expected to make much of an impression on the field at this Games, but it may not stay that way for long.”

Other so-called ‘plastic Brits’ who will be competing are Yamile Aldama (5/1 for triple jump gold), Tiffany Porter (10/1 for 100m hurdles gold) and Shara Proctor (16/1 for long jump gold).

Men’s 200m – Delano Williams
Qualify for Olympics 8/11
Final 7/2
Medal 33/1
Win 200/1

Yamile Aldama Triple Jump Gold 5/1

Tiffany Porter 100m Hurdles Gold 10/1

Shara Proctor Long Jump Gold 16/1

United 1/3 For The League And 4/1 To Do So By Seven Or More Points

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

United 1/3 For The League and 4/1 To Do So By Seven Or More Points

Manchester United moved three points clear of Manchester City and William Hill make the Red Devils 1/3 to win the League, with City 9/4. Having moved three points clear, Hills are now offering a market on how many points they win the League by. They are 9/4 to fail to win the League and 11/2 to win the league on goal difference. They are 11/4 to win by one to three points and the same price to win by four to six points. They are 4/1 to win the League by seven or more points.

“United rode their luck a little bit against Fulham and that is the kind of thing they will have to do from time to time if they are to win the League,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “The difference between United and City at the moment is that neither side are playing vintage football, but United are still winning and that is tilting the balance in their favour.”

United had a number of players on the pitch tonight who will be hoping to be going to the Euros with England, with Rio Ferdinand one of many who had a solid game. He is 8/11 to be on the plane (Evens not to). Phil Jones is 1/3 to go, Smalling 8/11 and Danny Welbeck 1/5. Paul Scholes is 4/1 to make the squad after he came on to replace Wayne Rooney.

William Hill Odds:

Premier League outright: 1/3 Manchester United; 9/4 Manchester City; 200/1 Arsenal

To make Euro 2012 squad

YES
Michael Carrick – 3/1 (2/9 no)
Chris Smalling – 8/11 (EVS no)
Ashley Young – 4/7 (5/4 no)
Danny Welbeck – 1/5 (10/3 no)
Phil Jones – 1/3 (9/4 no)
Rio Ferdinand – 8/11 (EVS no)
Tom Cleverley – 3/1 (2/9 no)
Paul Scholes – 4/1 (1/7 no)

How many points will Man Utd win the league by?
Not win the league 9/4
Goal difference 11/2
1-3 points 11/4
4-6 points 11/4
7 points or more 4/1

Super Goal Makes Crouchy 5/2 To Go To Euros…city Out To 6/4 For League Title

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

Manchester City moved to the top of the table although failed to get the victory that they would have wanted and William Hill make them 6/4 to win the Premier League. Despite a strong start to the season, Manchester City have gone off the boil and are in real danger of letting the chance of league victory slipping through their fingers. Should that happen, Mancini could well be on his way and William Hill offer 7/4 that he is no longer in charge of Manchester City come the start of next season (2/5 to still be there).

“If Mancini did not know the meaning of squeaky bum time, he will certainly be getting the message now, something that will not be lost on Sir Alex,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Peter Crouch scored a wonder goal preventing City from getting the win and he will be hopeful of getting a call up to the England squad for the Euros. William Hill make him 5/2 to get the call up (2/7 to be left at home).

Premier League Outright: 1/2 Manchester United; 6/4 Manchester City; 200/1 Arsenal; 500/1 Tottenham

Mancini at Manchester City first day of next season: 2/5 yes; 7/4 no

Peter Crouch to make Euro 2012 squad: 5/2 yes; 2/7 no

Di Matteo 11/4 For Permanent Gig…drogba 1/2 To Be More Prolific Than Torres

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

Chelsea arguably had the better of their game against Spurs, although they could not find a way through, despite finishing the match with both Torres and Drogba on the pitch. William Hill are offering 1/2 that Drogba scores more Premier League goals than Fernando Torres between now and the end of the season (6/4 vice versa).

Drogba’s future is uncertain with offers for his services coming from around the globe and William Hill agree, making him 5/6 to be at Chelsea on the first day of next season and the same price for him to have left by that time. Despite his poor recent form, Hills offer 4/11 that Torres is still at Chelsea come the first day of next season (2/1 that he has left).

Di Matteo has only been defeated once since taking over at Chelsea and William Hill are offering 11/4 that he becomes the next permanent Chelsea boss. Jose Mourinho is the 9/4 favourite with Pep Guardiola 7/2 third favourite.

Next Permanent Chelsea Manager: 9/4 Jose Mourinho; 11/4 Roberto Di Matteo; 7/2 Pep Guardiola; 8/1 Joachim Low; 8/1 Rafa Benitez; 10/1 David Moyes; 11/1 Fabio Capello; 12/1 BAR

Who will score more before now and the end of the season: 1/2 Drogba; 6/4 Torres

Will Drogba still be at Chelsea at the start of next season: 5/6 yes; 5/6 no

Will Torres still be at Chelsea at the start of next season: 4/11 yes; 2/1 no

Tottenham Shop Destroyed By Riots Re-opened By Spurs Legend

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

Pat Jennings was at the official re-opening of William Hill’s Tottenham branch that was gutted during the August riots on 6/8/11. The burning carcass of the shop on Tottenham High Road was one of the iconic and enduring images of the riots last year and after £350,000 investment and six months hard work, the doors were opened by the former Spurs player.

Also present at the ceremony were the two members of staff, Sean Biquette and Owen McKenzie, who were working on the night and who guided customers to safety through the back of the shop when the premises came under attack.

As the official betting partner of the FA Cup, William Hill also had the trophy on site so that customers and staff could have their photo taken with it.

“It is wonderful to see things get back to normal on Tottenham High Street. What happened during the riots was terrible but the aftermath has really drawn the community together,” said Pat Jennings. “Let’s not forget about Sean and Owen as well. They have to be commended for their bravery on the night the shop was attacked.”

“The old shop was a great place for people to get together and meet their friends and now they can do it in style as the new shop looks absolutely fantastic,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Spurs are William Hill’s 3/1 third favourites to win the trophy, with their quarter final opponents, Bolton 33/1.

William Hill FA Cup Outright: 2/1 Liverpool; 9/4 Chelsea; 3/1 Tottenham; 8/1 Sunderland; 8/1 Everton; 33/1 Bolton

Chelsea Latest…champions League Outright To Follow

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

Roberto Di Matteo has been cut from 8/1 to 5/1 third favourite to become the next Chelsea boss after his side’s valiant comeback against Napoli. Fernando Torres failed to find the net again (in the 90 minutes of the game) but William Hill make him 8/13 to finally break his 2012 duck, although he is 6/5 to fail to score during the next four games.

“Torres missed an open goal during extra time and his confidence will have plummeted even further,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “Saying that, Leicester this weekend offer the perfect opportunity for him to get back on track.”

Chelsea are now three in three under Di Matteo and Hills offer 2/1 that they are undefeated in their next four games, although they are 5/6 for their first defeat to come at the hands of Manchester City.

When will Torres next score: 8/13 Leicester; 7/1 Manchester City; 9/1 Spurs; 10/1 Villa; 6/5 none of these four

When will Chelsea lose first under Di Matteo: 7/1 Leicester; 5/6 Manchester City; 13/2 Spurs; 8/1 Villa; 2/1 none of these four

Will Roberto Di Matteo be manager on the last day of the season: 1/4 yes; 11/4 no

Next Permanent Chelsea manager: 7/4 Mourinho; 4/1 Benitez; 5/1 Di Matteo; 6/1 Pep Guardiola; 9/1 Low; 9/1 Capello; 10/1 Moyes; 20/1 BAR
