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

Tottenham are 1/10 red-hot favourites to beat Shamrock Rovers in Thursday night’s Europa League and William Hill offer 5/1 that Spurs score five or more goals. Rovers are 6/4 to score at any point during the match and 9/2 to lead during the game.

“Not even our Irish punters are rushing to back the Hoops and are more inclined to think there will be a Shamrock Shambles rather than a Rampant Rovers at White Hart Lane,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Last time round, all three Premier League teams secured draws and Hills are offering 250/1 that all three do so again on Thursday.

Tottenham are the 7/4 favourites to be the British side to progress furthest in the competition while Stoke are 15/8.

William Hill Europa League Odds:

Highest Scoring British Side: 10/11 Tottenham; 7/2 Stoke; 4/1 Celtic; 9/2 Fulham; 8/1 Birmingham (win only, dead heat rules apply)

Will Shamrock Rovers Score: 6/4 yes; 1/2 no

Will Shamrock Rovers Lead at any point: 9/2 yes; 1/8 no;

250/1 Every Premier League side to draw

British side to progress furthest: 7/4 Tottenham; 15/8 Stoke; 5/2 Fulham; 12/1 Celtic; 16/1 Birmingham

Tevez On The Move In January…4/9 Never To Start For City Again

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

Carlos Tevez has attempted to build bridges with Roberto Mancini but William Hill do not think that his excuses will fly with the City boss and make the former captain 4/9 to fail to start a single game for City in the Premier League this season. His exit from City would appear to be edging ever closer and Hills make Juventus the 11/4 favourites to be the next side to capture his signature. He is 4/1 to sign for Corinthians, while he is 6/1 to join either Inter or AC Milan.

“Tevez appears to have made his bed and City will now be desperate to get rid of him,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “It would seem that he will not feature in a City starting XI ever again and Turin may be his most likely destination.”

Carlos Tevez:

To start a Premier League game for Manchester City: 13/8 yes; 4/9 no

Next Club: 11/4 Juventus; 4/1 Corinthians; 6/1 AC Milan; 6/1 Inter Milan; 7/1 Real Madrid; 8/1 PSG; 12/1 Napoli; 16/1 Chelsea; 20/1 Arsenal; 20/1 Barcelona; 25/1 Boca Juniors…(others on request, loan deals count)

Manchester Misery In Champions League…tevez Tantrum Means 11/4 To Not Start All Season

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

Both sides of Manchester failed to win in the Champions League and William Hill are offering 9/1 that both fail to qualify for the knock out rounds of the competition. City have now failed to win in two matches and are 7/4 to now finish third in Group A with top spot a drifting 9/2. Carlos Tevez refused to come off the bench and play for City in Munich and Hills offer 11/4 that he does not start another Premier League game for City this season.

“A disappointing evening was rounded off by Tevez refusing to come off the bench and the odds suggest that Mancini may well have finally lost patience with City’s former captain,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Despite the setback at Old Trafford, Manchester United are the 13/8 favourites to progress the furthest of all the British sides in this year’s Champions League. An all Manchester Final is 40/1.

British Team to progress the furthest: 13/8 Manchester United; 7/4 Chelsea; 7/2 Manchester City; 5/1 Arsenal

Tevez to start a Premier League game for Manchester City this season: 1/4 yes; 11/4 no

Manchester City Group A Finishing Position: 9/2 Winner; 7/4 second; 7/4 third; 3/1 fourth

Manchester United and Manchester City both to fail to qualify from Group stages: 9/1

All Manchester Champions League Final: 40/1

Champions League Outright: 7/4 Barcelona; 9/2 Real Madrid; 6/1 Manchester United; 8/1 Bayern Munich; 10/1 Chelsea; 10/1 Manchester City; 22/1 AC Milan; 25/1 Arsenal; 28/1 BAR

You Bet Arsenal’s Bad Luck Is Behind Them…4/7 To Outscore Chelsea On Thursday

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

Fernando Torres scored and then saw red against Swansea on Saturday and William Hill are offering 6/4 that Torres bags a goal against Valencia, while he is 25/1 to get sent off. Should Torres start the match, he is 4/6 to fail to finish and is 11/10 to play all 90 minutes. Robin van Persie found his shooting boots at the weekend, bagging a brace and Hills go 2/1 that he scores more goals than Torres on Wednesday (the Spaniard is 10/3 to outscore van Persie) and they are 4/5 to score the same amount of goals.

“Arsenal have finally secured back to back wins this season and will be looking to build on their mini revival by putting in an accomplished performance against Olympiacos,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Arsenal are 1/3 to defeat Olimpiacos and their success in that match is considered enough of a certainty for Hills to offer 4/7 that Wenger’s men score more than Chelsea on Wednesday evening.

Match Bets:
1/3 Arsenal; 8/1 Olympiacos; 4/1 Draw
2/1 Valencia; 7/5 Chelsea; 11/5 Draw

Torres Red Card: 25/1

If Torres Starts Will He Finish: 11/10 Yes; 4/6 No

Who Will Score More Goals Chelsea Or Arsenal: 4/7 Arsenal; 3/1 Chelsea; 16/5 Draw

Torres vs. RVP (most goals) on Wednesday: 10/3 Torres; 2/1 Robin van Persie; 4/5 Draw

When Will Fab’s Eye For Goal Run Out Of Gas?

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

Real Madrid and Barcelona both dropped points on Wednesday night and William Hill are offering 1/3 that the pair both fail to win during the same round of matches again this season. Amidst the misery for both sides, Cesc Fabregas scored the fourth goal in his fourth league match since his move to Barca and Hills are offering 9/2 that his run continues for at least another three games. His run is 8/15, however, to come to an end this weekend. Hills go 7/1 that Fabregas scores over 25 goals this season and 4/1 that he scores between 21 and 25.

“Fabregas has settled well at Barcelona and his continued good form could see him extend his current goalscoring record,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Consecutive Fabregas Goals: 8/15 four (current run); 5/2 five games; 11/2 six games; 9/2 seven or more games
Must start vs Atletico or bets void

Real Madrid and Barcelona both to drop points in the same round of fixtures: 1/3 yes; 9/4 no

Total Fabregas League Goals: 12/1 4-8; 10/3 9-12; 9/4 13-16; 5/2 17-20; 4/1 21-25; 7/1 26 or more

Michael’s G-owen To Have To Do More To Feature For Fergie As United Set To Top A Ton

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

Michael Owen made a goalscoring return to Manchester United’s first team, but despite this, William Hill do not think that his performance against Leeds will force him back into Sir Alex Ferguson’s Premier League reckoning. He is odds on at 10/11 to start between 0 and one game. He is 8/1 to start six or more games. Owen bagged a brace against Leeds and Hills offer 5/6 that he scores more than seven goals for United this season in all competitions. He is 10/1 to make any appearance for England before the end of Euro 2012 and 16/1 to make Fabio Capello’s Euro 2012 squad.

“Michael Owen will have been delighted to have impressed on his first start for United since January, but the odds suggest that he will need to produce more of the same if he is to elbow his way into Fergie’s Premier League plans,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

United have been in great goalscoring form this season and Hills go 11/2 about the Red Devils scoring 100 or more goals in the Premier League this season.

Premier League Latest: Arsenal Gunning For Fifth As United Odds On To Stay Unbeaten Longest

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

Arsene Wenger has made no secret of the fact that his Arsenal side is struggling and William Hill reckon the Gunners will miss out on Champions League football next season. Hills have them at 8/15 to finish 5th or sixth this season while their odds of a top four finish is 9/4. They are 40/1 to win the league and 100/1 to be relegated. Arsene Wenger is 9/4 to have left Arsenal by the end of the season and 8/1 to be the first Premier League manager to leave his job.

Hills offer 13/8 that Arsenal concede over 55 goals this season and are 1/16 to end the season with no silverware.

“Arsenal’s form at the moment is nowhere near the high standards that they have set over the past few years and Nasri and Fabregas appear justified in having left the Gunners in search of silverware,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

In stark contrast to Arsenal’s shaky start, United are five for five this season and are 1000/1 to win every single game this season and 10/1 to remain undefeated all season. They are odds on for the first time this season to win the league, at 4/6 while their cross city rivals are 5/2 to do so. Hills offer 6/4 that Manchester United win the league with City in second while it is 3/1 for City 1st and Utd 2nd.

Wayne Rooney is 13/8 to win the golden boot this season, with Sergio Aguero 11/4.

After the weekend’s matches, there are now only four unbeaten sides in the Premier League and William Hill make Manchester United the 2/5 favourites of the four to remain undefeated for the greatest number of matches. City are 2/1, while Newcastle are 16/1 and Villa 25/1.

Arsenal finishing position: 40/1 winner; 9/4 top four; 8/15 5th or 6th; 6/1 7th – 10th; 10/1 11th-17th; 100/1 relegated

Last team to lose in EPL: 2/5 Man Utd; 2/1 Man City; 16/1 Newcastle; 25/1 Aston Villa

1000/1 Utd to win every match this season

10/1 Utd to remain undefeated all season

Arsenal goals conceded this season: 15/8 under 48; 6/4 49-55; 13/8 over 55

First Premier League manager to go: 4/6 Steve Kean; 9/2 Steve Bruce; 8/1 Arsene Wenger; 9/1 Alan Pardew; 10/1 Neil Warnock; 12/1 David Moyes; 12/1 Harry Redknapp; 16/1 Mick McCarthy; 20/1 BAR

Premier League forecasts: 6/4 Utd/City; 3/1 City/United; 4/1 Utd/Chelsea; 8/1 Chelsea/Utd; 16/1 City/Chelsea; 25/1 Chelsea/City

Nothing Fishy About Grimsby Punter’s £100k Win

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

A Grimsby based Manchester United fan was celebrating this weekend – and not just because his side managed to maintain their 100% record in the Premier League but because he won over £100,000 from an £8 bet with William Hill. The mystery man, who wishes to remain anonymous, selected 12 sides to win on his football accumulator and all duly obliged. The 37 year old punter who regularly has an accumulator at the weekend, had never hit the jackpot until Saturday and scooped £101,647.97 when Leeds, Crawley, Hearts, Tranmere, Hull, Peterborough, Sheffield Wednesday, Morecambe, Shrewsbury, Macclesfield, Gillingham and Sheffield Utd all won.

“It is incredibly difficult to pick even one winner, so to have 12 sides all come in is quite a feat and one that was priced at over 12,700/1,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “With a haul of over £100,000, he could spend the rest of the season following United home and away.”

Winning bet:

£8 12 fold

7/10 Leeds
4/6 Crawley
3/4 Hearts
21/20 Tranmere
5/4 Hull
11/10 Peterborough
6/4 Sheffield Wednesday
9/4 Morecambe
17/10 Shrewsbury
8/5 Macclesfield
6/5 Gillingham
5/6 Sheffield United
