Will Their Hearts Be In It? Former Jambos Bosses Favourites For Hibs Job

November 16, 2011 Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments Bollan, Crossing The Great Divide, Fickle World, Gordon Strachan, Greenside, Hibernian, Jackie Mcnamara, Jim Jeffries, Jimmy Calderwood, Joe Crilly, John Hughes, John Robertson, London N22, Mark Mcghee, O Neill, Paul Cook, Shamrock Rovers, Terry Butcher, William Hill, Williamhill

Jim Jeffries has emerged as William Hills 5/2 favourite to become the next Hibs boss. The former Hearts boss is joined in the top three in the betting by another former Hearts manager Billy Brown at 4/1 and Shamrock Rovers manager Michael ONeill at 3/1.

There are a number of likely candidates for the position but it is strange to see two former Hearts bosses so high in the betting, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly. It seems that in the fickle world of football, these managers would have no qualms in crossing the great divide.

Other contenders include Mark McGhee at 6/1 and Gordon Strachan, Jimmy Calderwood and Gus McPherson all at 8/1.

Next Hibernian Boss: 5/2 Jim Jeffries; 3/1 Michael ONeill; 4/1 Billy Brown; 6/1 Mark McGhee; 8/1 Gordon Strachan; 8/1 Jimmy Calderwood; 8/1 Gus McPherson; 10/1 Gary Bollan; 10/1 Billy Stark; 10/1 John Robertson; 10/1 Danny Lennon; 12/1 Billy Reid; 12/1 Jackie McNamara; 14/1 Billy Davies; 16/1 Terry Butcher; 16/1 John Collins; 16/1 Allan Moore; 16/1 John Hughes; 20/1 Paul Cook

Lucky Punters Quids In After Weekend Football Feast

November 15, 2011 Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments Accumulator, Correct Score, Correct Scores, Football Feast, Greenside, Initial Outlay, Joe Crilly, London N22, Man Utd, Manchester United, Punter, Quids, Sidcup, Small Fortune, Trebles, Watford, Weekend Football, West Brom, William Hill, Williamhill

Two William Hill punters were over the moon as they both scooped a small fortune on the football this weekend. The two winners from Sidcup and Watford netted £28,333.76 between them from just £13.75.

The Sidcup punter, who regularly bets on the football at the weekend, placed a £10, 12 team accumulator on Saturday morning and was waiting on four results on Sunday to bag him £17,368.63. Leeds, Brighton, Tottenham and Reading duly won to add to wins from Cardiff, Rangers and Manchester United amongst others.

The Watford based punter placed a 25p Lucky 15 (a four selection bet consisting of four singles, six doubles, four trebles and one fourfold) which returned £10,965.13. Rather than selecting sides to win, lose or draw, the gutsy punter predicted four correct scores. The selections were Aston Villa to defeat Norwich 3-2 at 25/1, Arsenal to win against West Brom 3-0, Newcastle recording a 2-1 victory over Everton at 15/2 and a 3-1 win for Spurs over Fulham at 16/1.

It is incredibly difficult to predict the outcome of a match, let alone the correct score and so to do so four times on one bet is almost unprecedented, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly. We have to take our hats off to this punter, who has increased his initial outlay by almost 3000 times.

Sidcup Bet – £10 stake won £17,368.63 Watford Bet – £3.75

With John Terry having been called up into Fabio Capellos provisional squad for the two friendlies against Spain and Sweden, William Hill offer 11/8 that he starts both games and 6/4 that he starts neither of them. He is 11/5 to start just one. Terry is 8/13 to wear the Captains armband for the opening game of Euro 2012 with Rio Ferdinand and Steven Gerrard both priced at 4/1. Terry is 1/3 to make Capellos squad, while Rio Ferdinand is 4/9.

As things stand we are unsure as to whether Capello will risk playing Terry in the two friendly matches while the current cloud of controversy hangs over him, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly. The odds lean slightly towards him being handed starts in both games.

England are 4/6 to win just one of the two games and 3/1 to win both of them. They are 5/2 to fail to win both games.

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.

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.

…William Hill Wednesday Champions League Latest…

Manchester United are expected to win comfortably when they host Romanian minnows FC Otelul Galati and Hills make them 1/12 to secure victory. William Hill think that United are going to be such easy winners, they are 10/3 favourites to be the highest scoring team on Wednesday night and 11/2 to favourites to score the fastest goal. The two sides have only ever met once before, when they played each other two weeks ago at the Otelul Stadium. United ran out 2-0 winners and Hills go 5/1 about that scoreline being repeated.

Manchester are 1/2 to win to nil and Hills offer 8/5 that Utd score four or more.

Clark Firm Favourite For Leicester Job In Ongoing Saga

November 7, 2011 Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments Bets, Contender, Footy, Foxes, Freedman, Gordon Strachan, Greenside, Hiring Process, Joe Crilly, Kevin Keegan, Lee Clarke, London N22, Mark Hughes, Martin O Neill, Neil Lennon, Nigel Pearson, Rafael Benitez, Roy Keane, William Hill, Williamhill

Lee Clark has been backed all the way in to 4/11 to become the next manager of Leicester City. The Huddersfield manager has been the subject of a number of three figure bets that have seen his odds in the last 48 hours tumble from 4/7. The only other contender that has been backed is Mark Hughes and his odds have been halved from 4/1 to 2/1. Nigel Pearson is 7/1 third favourite.

Given the frequency with which Leicester change their manager, you would be forgiven for thinking that the Foxes board would have streamlined their hiring process but alas, punters are still waiting and Lee Clarke is now the firm favourite, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly. It would seem that this one has a long way to go yet however.

Next Permanent Leicester Manager: 4/11 Lee Clark; 2/1 Mark Hughes; 7/1 Nigel Pearson; 8/1 Kevin Keegan; 10/1 Roy Keane; 10/1 Gordon Strachan; 12/1 Billy Davies; 12/1 Rafael Benitez; 14/1 Martin ONeill; 14/1 Dougie Freedman; 16/1 Neil Lennon; 20/1 BAR

Lucky Weekend For William Hill Football Punters

November 7, 2011 Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments Accumulators, Bristol City, Central Glasgow, Charlton, Coventry, Footy, Fulham, Greenside, Hat Trick, Joe Crilly, Manchester City, Manchester United, Manchester Utd, Mk, Motherwell, Nerves, Sheffield Wednesday, Sums Of Money, William Hill, Williamhill Co Uk

There will have been one very nervous William Hill punter watching as Newcastle defeated Stoke on Monday evening and landed a £25,000 accumulator. The 44 year old from Margate was hoping for a Newcastle win at 5/2 in order to bring home a 12 team accumulator staked on William Hill online. All of the other selections came in on Saturday and included Manchester City, Liverpool, Manchester United and Rangers.

This punter, who only ever bets between one and ten pounds each weekend on the football will have had his nerves calmed as Demba Ba smashed home a hat-trick to land £24,953.77 from just a five pound stake, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

It seems that the football luck was contagious this weekend as two other punters landed big money accumulators from relatively small stakes. One shop punter from the Romford area bagged £20,592.23 from a £3 accumulator while a shop punter from central Glasgow landed a seven team, £5 accumulator that paid out £11,535.33.

We have had three winners this weekend winning life changing sums of money, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

The three winning accumulators:

Margate (£5 won £24,953.77) Romford (£3 won £20,592.23) Glasgow (£5 won £11,535.33)
