Wenger’s Fab Tip

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

Arsene Wenger has come out and said that he is optimistic his two courted players, Samir Nasri and Cesc Fabregas will be staying at the Emirates next season. William Hill agree with Mr. Wenger with regards to Nasri, offering 8/11 that he is still at the club come the first game of next season, although Fabregas is 4/9 to have left for pastures new by then. Barcelona are the 1/4 favourites to capture Fab’s signature when he does leave, while Manchester City are 8/11 favourites to bag Samir Nasri.

“Wenger has, rather defiantly, come out and claimed that his two most prized assets are staying put and while we agree that Nasri looks likely to be staying for at least another season, the lure of Barcelona may be too much for Fabregas and Arsenal to resist for another season,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Scott Parker has been backed from 20/1 to 6/1 to join Chelsea with Hills who make Villa 13/8 favourites to be his next club.”Parker returning to Chelsea would be a big story, but we are not convinced it is anything like a done deal.”

Modric Staying But You Bet Downing Won’t

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

Aston Villa have stated that Stuart Downing is not for sale although William Hill think that he WILL have gone come the first game of next season, offering 4/6. Liverpool are the main contenders for his signature at 1/4 while Arsenal are 6/1. Luka Modric, however, does not now appear to be on the move, with his odds of leaving Spurs drifting to odds against for the first time since Chelsea lodged their interest (to 5/4). He is now 4/7 to remain at White Hart Lane by at least the first game of next season.

“Both the Spurs and Villa chairmen have come out and stated that their star men are not for sale, but the odds certainly suggest that while that may be true in the case of Modric, it is quite another story for Downing,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Sunderland have been the most active side in the transfer market so far and Hills are betting on where the Black Cats will finish. Despite the additions to their squad, they are 11/8 to finish 9th to 12th. They are 66/1 to finish in the top four and 2/1 to finish in the Europa Cup spots (fifth to eighth). Should Sunderland have a patchy start to the season, Steve Bruce could be out of a job and he is 4/1 to have left by the end of the season and 10/1 to be the first manager to leave his job.

With criticism being directed at Arsenal from all angles, William Hill make them 4/7 to finish in the top four, 5/4 not to. “Arsenal may well be odds on to finish in the top four at the moment, but these odds will drift still further if more star Gunners decamp,” added Crilly.

William Hill Odds:

Stuart Downing next permanent club: 1/4 Liverpool; 6/1 Arsenal; 10/1 Tottenham; 25/1 Sunderland

Stuart Downing to be gone before the 1st day of next season: 4/6 yes; 11/10 no

Luka Modric to be gone before the 1st day of next season: 5/4 yes; 4/7 no

Will Steve Bruce still be at Sunderland by the last game of the season: 1/7 yes; 4/1 no

Sunderland finishing position: 66/1 top four; 2/1 fifth to eight; 11/8 ninth to 12th; 9/4 13-17; 10/1 relegated

Will Arsenal finish in the top four: 4/7 yes; 5/4 no

Three Lionesses Backed For Win Against France

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

England’s Women progressed through to the Quarter Final of the World Cup and bookmakers, William Hill, make them 9/5 to defeat France in the next round. Les Bleus are 6/5 slight favourites but despite this, Hope Powell’s recruits have been well backed by punters with over 60% of all bets being staked on them to win. Should the game go beyond the 90 minutes, Hills are offering 12/1 that England win in extra time and 11/1 they win on penalties.

England are relative outsiders to go on and win the competition, offered at 20/1, quite a way behind favourites, Germany, at 5/6 and Brazil at 7/2. The Three Lionesses are 8/13 to be knocked out at the Quarter Final stage and 6/5 to qualify for the Semis.

“England were very much improved against Japan while the French side are coming into the game on the back of a heavy defeat to Germany and our punters are backing them to come good,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

England’s Kelly Smith came into the tournament as the Golden Girl of the team, however, she has failed to find the net once during the tournament and has been backed by Hill’s punters NOT to score during the remaining games. Originally offered at 8/11 not to do so, she has been backed into 4/6, but she is 11/10 to get off the mark.

Outright: 5/6 Germany; 7/2 Brazil; 13/2 USA; 14/1 Sweden; 16/1 France; 20/1 Japan; 20/1 England; 50/1 Australia

Stage of Elimination: 8/13 Quarter Final; 5/2 Semi Final; 9/2 Runner Up; 20/1 Winner

England v France (qualification): 6/5 England; 8/13 France

To win in extra time: 12/1 England; 11/1 France

To win on penalties: 11/1 England; 10/1 France

Women’s World Cup: You Bet Kelly’s Eye Is Out

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

Kelly Smith has been backed at William Hill NOT to score at any point during this year’s Women’s World Cup following three straight games firing blanks. She had been as short as Evens to score at any point, but has drifted to 11/10, while the odds of her not to score have been cut to 4/6 from 8/11. England are 9/5 to defeat France and 6/5 to suffer defeat. The draw is offered at 11/5. At 20/1 to win the tournament, England are quite some distance behind 5/6 favourites, Germany. Brazil are 4/1 and the USA are 12/1.

“Kelly Smith has been in good form without finding the net, but despite this, our punters are refusing to back her to score during this tournament,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.
