Hughes Laughing Now: 2/1 City Fail To Score Once More

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

Sunday’s big game sees Mark Hughes facing his former cohorts with current team, Fulham. Hughes was sacked by Manchester City just over a year ago, with his City side leading the Premier League in draws. His Fulham team are in the exact same position this season and William Hill are offering 21/10 that Sunday’s match ends in a stalemate. With tempers likely to flare, Hughes is 33/1 to get sent to the stands.

City have failed to score in their last three Premiership games and Hills are offering 2/1 that they fail to do so once more at Craven Cottage. Should City score, it will most likely be Carlos Tevez who gets on the score sheet, having score seven of 15 goals. He is priced at 5/1 to score two or more goals with Hills.

“Mark Hughes will be desperate to get one over on his former employers but the odds certainly do not point to a classic. The most exciting action may possibly be seen on the sidelines,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Sunday Football Odds:

11/8 Blackburn; 21/10 Aston Villa; 21/10 Draw
21/10 Fulham; 7/5 Man City; 21/10 Draw

33/1 Mark Hughes gets sent to the stand
5/1 Carlos Tevez scores two or more goals

Unlikely Comeback For 33/1 Spurs…only £200 Staked By Far Sighted Punters

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

Spurs completed an unlikely comeback and were as long as 33/1 with William Hill to win the game at half time. In a game which attracted over £80,000 of in play betting, only £200 was staked on Spurs when they were 2-0 down.

Spurs boss, Harry Redknapp, is now the clear favourite for the England manager’s job, when it becomes available, at 2/1.

“At 2-0 Spurs looked dead and buried and this was reflected by our punters. Less than 1% of the game’s turnover was staked on them at half time. ‘Arry really turned the game around and he is the front-runner to be the next England manager,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

You Bet: England Will Ring Changes After Carroll’s Debut Fizzles Out

You Bet: England Will Ring Changes After Carroll’s Debut Fizzles Out

England had the better of the closing stages against France, but could not overcome the two goal deficit that the visitors had amassed by the 55th minute. With a relatively untried formula and team on show tonight, William Hill believe that the England team that lines up against Wales will be a lot more recognisable and offer 11/10 that either four or five of the team that started against France line up for the Three Lions next competitive fixture. Hills offer 11/8 that three or less take to the field at the Millenium Stadium.

Andy Carroll showed glimpses of his quality in the 70 minutes that he was on although he is 2/7 to fail to start the game against Wales. He is 50/1 to be the leading scorer in Euro 2012.

Despite the minor setback of his first defeat at Wembley, Hills are odds on, at 4/11, that Capello leaves his post in 2012 and he is 10/1 to leave before the end of the year.

“Tonight’s game was not the most enjoyable of games to watch and with such an inexperienced team, it was always going to be difficult, however, Capello will surely ring the changes by the time the Wales game comes around and his side are still odds on to qualify for the Euro’s,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill England Odds:

When will Capello leave:
2010 10
2011 4
2012 4/11
2013 or later 11/2

Andy Carroll to start v Wales:

2/7 No
5/2 Yes

Andy Carroll to be top scorer in Euro 2012: 50/1

How many starters v France will start v Wales:

3 or less 11/8
4 or 5 11/10
6 or 7 7/2
8 or more 20/1

Euro 2012 Qualifying Group G: 1/5 England; 7/1 Montenegro; 12/1 Bulgaria; 12/1 Switzerland; 100/1 Wales

Barton Odds On For Retrospective Ban…while Olly Had Better Clear His Desk

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

Joey Barton is odds on to receive a three match ban for punching Morten-Gamst Pedersen in the chest. William Hill are offering 1/4 that his punishment stretches for three matches and for Joey to receive no ban is priced at 8/1. Flouting the laws of the game seemed to be the order of the day on Wednesday when Ian Holloway made ten changes to his side that faced Aston Villa. Olly has claimed that he will quit if he gets a fine and Hills reckon he may do well to start clearing his desk now with 8/13 offered that he receives a fine of some sort from the FA and 6/5 that he does not.

“Joey Barton is no stranger to controversy and would it appear that the FA may decide to step in and hand the midfielder a ban,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Joey Barton’s team-mate, Andy Carroll, has been the subject of much praise recently and William Hill are offering 1/2 that he earns his first England cap against France on the 17th November.

Hills have also opened a market on who will be in the top two come the end of the season and make Chelsea followed by Man Utd, the 2/1 favourite while Chelsea/Arsenal is the 3/1 second favourite.

William Hill Football Specials:

Ian Holloway/Blackpool to receive a fine for fielding a weakened team vs Aston Villa?
Yes 8/13
No 6/5

Includes suspended fines.

How long will Joey Barton be banned for by the FA?
0 games 8/1
1-2 games 6/1
3 games 1/4
4 or more games 7/1

Outright: 11/4 Barcelona; 7/2 Real Madrid; 4/1 Chelsea; 8/1 Man United; 10/1 Arsenal; 14/1 Bayern Munich; 14/1 Inter Milan; 25/1 Tottenham; 25/1 Tottenham; BAR

Champion’s League Final Odds On To Feature A British Team!

Two relatively easy victories for Chelsea and Arsenal tonight have lead William Hill to shorten both teams’ odds of winning this year’s Champion’s League. Chelsea are now 4/1 joint second favourites, having been 9/2 at the start of play and Arsenal, following their demolition of Shakhtar, are priced at 10/1, cut from 11/1.

Hills are also offering odds of 5/6 that there is one British representative in the Champion’s League Final. For an all British affair, Hills are offering 11/2.

“The two teams in action tonight were so impressive in the nature of their victory, it would not be surprising for either of them to make the final,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Chelsea are the 7/5 favourites to be the furthest advancing British team in this year’s competition with Manchester United priced at 9/4.

William Hill Champion’s League Odds:

Outright: 11/4 Barcelona; 4/1 Chelsea; 4/1 Real Madrid; 10/1 Manchester United; 10/1 Arsenal; 14/1 Inter Milan; 14/1 Bayern Munich; 25/1 AC Milan; 28/1 Tottenham; 40/1 Lyon; 50/1 BAR
