Punter Predicts Entire Prem Matches For £31.5k

A 74 year old William Hill punter from East Lothian called Tom Brown correctly managed to predict all eight Premier League results on Saturday and bagged himself a quite stunning £31,454.78 from just a £5 stake. Mr Brown, a retired Local Government officer and Hearts fan was waiting for a Bolton win on Saturday evening to complete his astonishing eightfold, an accumulator that looked all but dead as Stoke/WBA looked to be heading for a draw until James Morrison’s 91st minute winner. That last minute goal at the Britannia Stadium meant that Mr Brown had £5,242.46 running onto Bolton at 5/1.

“It was very nerve racking watching the Bolton/Liverpool but now that I have had my biggest ever win, I fully intend to share the winnings with my wife, son, daughter and family,” said Mr Brown.

“Bolton were the biggest outsiders all weekend in the Premier League and they were not expected to win so easily, although Mark Davies’ early will have settled Mr Brown’s nerves I’m sure,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Winning Selections in bold:

ODDS OF 6290/1

21/20 Fulham vs Newcastle
10/11 Sunderland vs Swansea
11/4 Draw Norwich vs Chelsea
5/2 Draw Everton vs Blackburn
5/1 Bolton vs Liverpool
17/10 Wolves vs Aston Villa
11/10 QPR vs Wigan
13/5 Stoke vs West Brom

4/1 For Frank To Join Becks At Galaxy

LA Galaxy Chief, Tim Leiweke, has confirmed that he would be interested in making a move for Frank Lampard and William Hill think that a potential reunion with David Beckham could well be on the cards. He is 4/1 to leave Chelsea at the end of the season and move to the MLS champions.

“Any move for Frank to LA would be dependent on one of, designated players, Landon Donovan, Robbie Keane or David Beckham departing,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “It would also depend on what the future Mrs. Lampard would think about moving to America.”

Frank Lampard to join LA Galaxy in the Summer: 4/1 yes; 1/7 no

…ARE NORWICH ON THE WAY TO EURO 2012?

Could Strikers Be On Their Ways Out Of North London?

Jermaine Defoe is reportedly the subject of some interest on Merseyside and William Hill make him 6/1 to join Liverpool this January, although he is 1/4 to remain at Spurs. Across North London, Arsene Wenger is under increasing pressure to bring success to the Emirates, but despite this, he is 66/1 to be the next Premier League manager to lose his job. Hills are offering 5/2, however that Wenger is no longer Arsenal manager come the first day of next season. Robin van Persie contract expires in 2013 but despite this, Hills do not think that Arsenal will cash in on their prize asset just yet. He is 2/5 to still be an Arsenal player on the first day of the 2012/13 Premier League season.

“Arsenal have not looked their usual selves this year but we think that both van Persie and Wenger will stay put in order to help their push for Europe in the second half of the season,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Arsene Wenger’s conqueror from Sunday, Brendan Rodgers, is 5/1 second favourite to be voted LMA manager of the year behind 5/2 favourite Roberto Mancini. Sir Alex Ferguson and Paul Lambert are the 13/2 joint third favourites.

Gary Cahill’s long protracted move to Chelsea, was finally completed on Monday and William Hill make him 11/10 to start England’s first Euro 2012 match. He is 20/1 to start the first goal of Chelsea’s match against Norwich this weekend and 7/1 to score anytime.

Fast Food Worker Serves Up A £75.5k Winner At William Hill

A mystery 53 year old William Hill shop punter, from Caernarfon, is on cloud nine after a £2 football accumulator paid out to the tune of £75,582.85. The punter, who works for a fast food restaurant and names Fenerbahce as his favourite team says that his biggest win before has been £301 on the 49s, the twice daily numbers draw made in shops.

The punter’s accumulator included both Sunday matches in the Premier League – backing Swansea at 3/1 and Newcastle at 8/11, as well as another 12 matches from around Europe and paid out at odds of just over 37790/1. When asked if he had any plans for the money, he said he was going to treat his wife and three children.

“This punter must have an incredible knowledge of European football as he has not just picked 14 favourites in his selections, he has gone for a few outsiders as well,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Punter’s Selections (winning selections in bold):

11/10 Huesca vs Deportivo La Coruna
7/4 Sporting Gijon vs Malaga
4/9 PAOK Salonika vs Egrotelis

You Bet Hughes And Barton Will Be Staying Put Despite First Defeat!

Mark Hughes’ reign at QPR started with defeat and William Hill are offering 4/1 that he is no longer at QPR come the start of next season (1/7 to still be there). Should QPR be relegated, Hills offer 7/1 that they win the League and 3/1 that they would gain promotion by any means.

Joey Barton was the subject of much speculation in the Sunday papers as they suggested that Mark Hughes could let him go in January. Hills are erring on the side of caution and make him 1/8 to stay (9/2 to leave in January). Joey Barton did not play against Newcastle due to being suspended and Hills go 1/4 that he starts the first game for QPR that he is available for.

“Mark Hughes has already claimed that Joey Barton will remain his captain and while it is not uncommon for clubs to sell their leaders, we think that Joey will be staying put for the time being,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Mark Hughes to be at QPR on the first day of next season: 1/7 yes; 4/1 no

Joey Barton to still be at QPR at the end of the January transfer window: 1/8 yes; 9/2 no

Joey Barton to start first match he is available for: 1/4 yes; 11/4 no

Will Ba Go Bye Bye As Newcastle Could Be Carroll Singing?

Rumours abound that Andy Carroll could be on his way back to Newcastle as his Liverpool career has struggled to take off. William Hill think he will remain on Merseyside, however, offering 1/10 that he does not return to the Magpies (11/2 that he does). In just under one year at Liverpool, Andy Carroll has managed just four Premier League goals and Hills make him 8/13 to score more than that for Newcastle (should he sign) by the end of the season.

“To say that Andy Carroll has struggled at Liverpool, would be a bit of an understatement but, despite this, the extended absence of Luis Suarez means that the Reds may not cut their losses just yet,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Andy Carroll’s arrival on Tyneside could depend on whether Demba Ba’s release clause is activated, with a number of top teams reportedly interested in signing the Senegalese striker. He is 2/1 to leave St. James’ Park in January with PSG the 13/8 favourites to be his next club. Spurs are 11/4 second favourites to be Ba’s next club with Chelsea 3/1.

Thierry Henry marked his return to Arsenal by scoring and did so sporting a full beard. Hill’s think that Henry will now keep his beard for the full duration that he stays at Arsenal offering 1/2 that he does not appear clean shaven (as smooth as a baby’s bum during a match).

“We believe that Thierry Henry is very superstitious and think he will keep the beard until he departs at the end of February,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Andy Carroll to return to Newcastle in January: 11/2 Yes; 1/10 no (loan deals included)

If Andy Carroll moves back to Newcastle, will he score more than four: 8/13 yes; 6/5 no

Demba Ba Leave Newcastle in January: 2/1 yes; 4/11 no

Damba Ba next club: 13/8 PSG; 11/4 Tottenham; 3/1 Chelsea; 8/1 Arsenal; 8/1 Liverpool; 10/1 Man Utd; 14/1 Man City

Will Thierry Henry appear clean shaven for a match during his time at Arsenal: 1/2 no; 6/4 yes
