UNPATRIOTIC PUNT!

THE FIRST major gamble since the Euro 2012 draw has seen William Hill cut England’s odds of being eliminated at the Group stage of their campaign from 5/2 to 2/1. ‘No sooner did the 5/2 go out than unpatriotic punters were snapping it up and forcing us to take evasive action by cutting them to 2/1’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Champs League: City Left Blue, But United Progression Is Taken As Red

Champs League: City Left Blue, But United Progression Is Taken As Red
Manchester United and Manchester City have struggled so far to make much of an impact in the Champions League and William Hill are offering 7/2 that both sides fail to reach the knockout phase of the competition. Hills are offering 7/2 that both Manchester teams manage to make it through to the final 16 of the Champions League and 1/20 that only one of the two sides makes it through the group stage.
It looks as though Manchester City are going to fall short of progression in their maiden Champions League outing with Napoli just 2/7 to qualify ahead of them, while Manchester United are the same price to pip FC Basel to the knockout phase of the competition.
“Both sides have cut it fine in what has been a highly inconsistent campaign so far, but while United look like they may well just sneak through, City’s fate is now out of their own hands,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.
Both Manchester sides to fail to reach the knockout phase of Champions League: 7/2
Both Manchester sides to progress into knockout stage of Champions League: 7/2
Either one of the Manchester sides to progress to knockout stage of Champions League: 1/20
To qualify from Group A: 2/7 Napoli; 5/2 Manchester City
To qualify from Group C: 2/7 Manchester United; 5/2 Basel

Hills Saved From Monster Payout By European Minnows

William Hill were celebrating a fantastic night of Champions League football as both English sides taking part were held to draws. Early estimates suggest that Hills were saved from paying out almost £350,000 on just the 90 minutes alone.

“We are popping the champagne at the moment as the unlikely combination of Genk and Marseille have saved us from a monster payout,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “Our early estimate is that we have been saved from having to pay out around £350,000 on just 90 minutes and when you factor in coupons, you could be looking at a half a million.”

Hills are offering 8/1 about an all English Final this season and 40/1 for an all London Final.

Champions League outright: 7/4 Barcelona; 4/1 Real Madrid; 6/1 Manchester United; 7/1 Bayern Munich; 9/1 Chelsea; 12/1 Manchester City; 25/1 Arsenal; 25/1 AC Milan; 25/1 Inter; 66/1 BAR

Europa League Specials…rooney Vs. Aguero

Tottenham are the 5/4 favourites to be the British side to progress furthest in this year’s Europa League. Stoke have been impressive in this year’s competition and Hills make them 9/4 second favourites while Fulham are 11/4.

Two British sides (Birmingham and Celtic) are odds on (at 4/11 and 1/8) to fail to make it out of the Group Stage. Spurs appear most likely to be knocked out of the competition at the round of 16 (11/4) along with Stoke (14/5), while Fulham are 11/8 to go out at the round of 32 stage.

Rooney vs. Aguero

Wayne Rooney and Sergio Aguero both got on the Champions League scoresheet ahead of the Manchester derby on Sunday and William Hill make the England striker the 2/1 slight favourite to outscore his Argentinean compatriot. United are 10/11 favourites to win the match at Old Trafford with City 5/2 and the draw 23/10.

“It is likely to be a close match on Sunday and neither team will be wanting to lose their unbeaten record, let alone to their bitterest rivals and it may well take a moment of magic from the two sides’ leading scorers,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 2011-09-15 00:00:00

ROONEY 7/4 TO TOP SCORE FOR ENGLAND IN EURO 2012 FINALS – AND 9/2 TO BEAT BOBBY’S ALL TIME SCORING RECORD

WILLIAM HILL have opened a book on who will top score in the EURO 2012 Finals for England – assuming they make it through. And despite failing to find the net against Wales, Wayne Rooney has been installed as 7/4 favourite. ‘Wayne is the most regularly played striker I the squad and deserves his place at the head of the market but granted a regular starting place in the side Andy Carroll and/or Darren Bent could well run him close’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
HILLS OFFER 9/2 THAT ROONEY, WHO CURRENTLY BOASTS 28 ENGLAND GOALS, WILL EVENTUALLY OVERTAKE BOBBY CHARLTON’S ALL TIME RECORD TOTAL OF 49 FOR HIS COUNTRY. ‘As Gary Lineker and Michael Owen both discovered, Bobby Charlton’s record is a daunting target which many have aimed at but none has yet managed to better’ added Sharpe.
Hills offer 1/8 that Rooney will not reach the target.

Hills offer 5/6 that both Rangers and Celtic qualify for the group stage and 25/1 that all three Scottish sides progress. Hills go 9/2 about all of the English sides progressing.
