Frank Lampard has been named as England’s captain against Denmark and William Hill have opened a market on what kind of impact he will have on the game. He is 8/1 to score a free-kick and 12/1 to score a penalty. Lampard is usually very reliable from the spot, however, he is 25/1 to miss a penalty. He is 9/2 to get a yellow card and 40/1 to receive his marching orders.

From The Sublime To The Ridiculous…25/1 Ten Or Fewer Prem Goals This Weekend

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

Following a record breaking weekend, William Hill are offering 25/1 that the Premier League comes down to earth with a bang with just 0-10 goals scored. Hills are 2/5 that 21-30 goals are scored. Last weekend saw 43 goals scored and Hills are offering 25/1 that this impressive total is bettered this weekend.

“There were many factors involved in such a record breaking weekend and the odds suggest that a semblance of normality will return to the Premier League come this weekend’s fixtures,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Despite all the goals at the weekend, one man who failed to find the net was Fernando Torres although Hills are offering 10/11 that he manages to get himself on the score sheet for his new club. He is 1/3 to start Chelsea’s game against Fulham but 2/5 to be subbed off. His former manager Kenny Dalglish is now priced at 1/7 to secure the Liverpool manager’s position on a permanent basis.

Total Premier League Goals Sat-Mon: 25/1 0-10; 10/3 11-20; 2/5 21-30; 11/2 31-40; 20/1 Over 40

25/1 Over 43 goals

Will Torres…Start 1/3; Score 10/11; Get Subbed Off 2/5

Where Will Liverpool Finish: 7/1 1st-4th; 1/8 5th-10th; 11th-17th 8/1; 18th-19th 100/1; 150/1 Bottom

Kenny Dalglish to be given the Liverpool manager job on permanent basis: 1/7 Yes; 4/1 No

Hughton Heavily Backed To Be Baggies Boss

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

Chris Hughton has been heavily backed in the last two hours to succeed Roberto Di Matteo as the next permanent West Brom manager. Having been priced at 10/1 yesterday, the former Newcastle boss is the 6/4 favourite with William Hill and already results in a high four figure loss. Current caretaker manager Michael Appleton the 3/1 second favourite. Early front runner, Sam Allardyce has drifted from 6/5 to 3/1 with Martin Jol 5/1.

“Any new West Brom appointment would have to work under a ‘sporting and technical director’ which could explain why Allardyce has drifted, as it can be certain that he would want the final say so in any transfer dealings,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Next West Brom Manager Odds: 6/4 Chris Hughton; 3/1 Michael Appleton; 3/1 Sam Allardyce; 5/1 Martin Jol; 6/1 Derek McInnes; 8/1 Roy Hodgson; 16/1 Gus Poyet; 16/1 Alan Curbishley; 16/1 Billy Davies; 20/1 Paul Lambert; 20/1 Aidy Boothroyd; 20/1 Tony Mobray; 20/1 Martin O’Neill; 20/1 Paul Ince; 20/1 Brendan Rodgers; 20/1 Sean O’Driscoll; 25/1 Glenn Hoddle (others on request)

“There are only really two candidates to take over the Olympic Stadium and although West Ham are still the favourites, Spurs are right behind them,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Olympic Stadium Odds:

Who Will Move Into The Olympic Stadium: 4/7 West Ham; 5/4 Tottenham (Bets void if neither side moves to site of the Olympic Stadium)

Rooney 25/1 For Golden Boot…chelsea Explode Back Into Title Reckoning

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

Wayne Rooney bagged a brace against Villa and William Hill are offering 25/1 that he can put his recent poor form behind him and end the season as the Premier League’s top scorer. United’s victory means that they are still unbeaten in the Premier League and Hills offer 7/1 that they can end the season without losing. Manchester United are the 4/7 favourites to win the Premier League, while Arsenal are 11/4. Chelsea are now priced at 13/2 having been as long as 12/1 just a couple of weeks ago.

“Chelsea have managed to find a bit of form in the last few games and coupled with the arrival of Torres seems to make Chelsea look like viable contenders once more,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “Rooney will be looking to continue the form of tonight and should he do so, there is a chance that he could be challenging the big boys for the golden boot come the end of the season.”

Manchester City are 17/20 to keep up the pressure on the top two against Birmingham, while Tottenham are 13/10 to win away at Blackburn. Liverpool will be hoping that their recent resurgence will continue and are 6/10 to record a victory at home to Stoke. New boy David Suarez is 4/5 to score anytime for Liverpool on Wednesday, while he is 10/3 to open the scoring.

William Hill Premier League Odds:

10/3 Birmingham; 5/2 Draw; 17/20 Manchester City
21/10 Blackburn; 23/10 Draw; 13/10 Tottenham

Premier League Outright: 4/7 Manchester United; 11/4 Arsenal; 13/2 Chelsea; 14/1 Manchester City; 66/1 Tottenham

Will Torres Fans Be Singing The Blues Or Will Carroll Be On Song?

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

Fernando Torres has moved to Chelsea and Andy Carroll has arrived at Anfield to replace him. William Hill are offering 7/1 that both strikers net on their debuts for their new clubs. Andy Carroll has scored 11 goals this season and Hills are offering 11/4 that he manages to bag at least another eight before the end of the season and evens that he scores five or fewer goals for his new club. Torres is 6/5 to score six or less goals for Chelsea for the remainder of this season and 11/4 to score 11 or more.

“Torres and Carroll have dominated the headlines on transfer deadline day but the odds suggest that they may not be dominating the headlines as much come the following months,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Hills are offering 5/6 that Torres scores a quicker goal for Chelsea than Carroll does for Liverpool, while Carroll is the same price to score a faster goal than Torres. Torres is 6/4 to score against Liverpool on Sunday and Carroll is 6/4 to bag a goal against Newcastle on the 30th April.

You Bet Spats With Diouf Will Have Hoops Frothing At The Mouth

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

El Hadji Diouf could have gone down in history as the most hated man on the Green and White side of Glasgow, even before he signed on loan for Rangers and bookmakers William Hill reckon he could yet incense Hoops fans some more in the remainder of the season. Should Diouf get up to his old tricks, Hills are offering 2/1 that he receives a red card at Rangers, while he is 7/2 to get sent off against Celtic this season. He is 13/8 to be booked at least four times during his stint at Ibrox.

“Diouf is no stranger to controversy and it would not be surprising to see him caught up in a few spats whilst based in Scotland,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Will Second Bite Of The Cherry Get Fergie’s Son Into Old Trafford Hotseat?

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

William Hill are offering 25/1 that Peterborough win League 1 and 50/1 that Darren Ferguson is Sir Alex Ferguson’s replacement at Manchester United. For Ferguson to get Peterborough into the Premier League within five years is 16/1.

“Because of his family ties, Ferguson will always be in the running for the Manchester United job, however, the odds suggest that Fergie Sr’s retirement, when it comes, will be a touch too early for his son,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Hills are also offering odds on how many Manchester United players Peterborough take on loan during January and are offering 5/6 that none make the move. It is 3/1 that one swaps Old Trafford for London Road and 2/1 that two do.

William Hill Peterborough/Darren Ferguson Odds:

How Many Manchester United Players Will Peterborough Take On Loan (January signings only): 5/6 None; 2/1 Two; 3/1 One

What Division Will Darren Ferguson’s Next Job Be In: 13/8 League 1; 9/4 Championship; 3/1 League Two; 4/1 Other; 16/1 Premier League

16/1 Darren Ferguson to lead Peterborough to the Premier League within five years

50/1 D. Ferguson to be the next permanent Manchester United manager

25/1 Peterborough to win League 1 this season
