Following the news that Joe Cole has signed for Liverpool, William Hill offer 1/4 to start Liverpool’s first game of the season and 11/4 that he does not. Hills have also priced him at 7/4 to score 5 or six goals, and he is 13/8 to score more or less than this. Liverpool are 2/1 to finish in the top four and 4/11 to not.

“Joe Cole is the marquee signing that every Liverpool fan was hoping for. Whilst the odds suggest that his arrival may not propel Liverpool into the Champions League, it seems it will at least tempt star players Gerrard and Torres to stay, with the two of them odds on to be Liverpool players on the 15th of August,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Joe Cole Specials:

Start First Game: Yes – 1/4; No – 11/4

Total Number of Premier League Goals: Under 5 – 13/8; 5-6 – 7/4; Over 6 – 13/8

Tentacled Tipster Gives Bookies More Reason To Cheer

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

The news that Paul The Octopus has retired is music to the ears of bookmakers William Hill. “The predict-o-pus’s eight winning selections have helped superstitious punters to collect half a million from bookmakers coffers and anyone who bet £10 on each of the outcomes will have scooped £89.95 each, while those who “rolled” their money over onto the next outcome ended up with £1623.34.

“Picking all seven outcomes of Germany’s games, as well as the outcome of the World Cup final is quite some feat,” added Crilly. “We are thankful that Paul has now retired, and will happily give him a few s-quid towards a retirement aquarium to keep him that way. He has emerged as the star of the World Cup, and retiring at his peak will ensure that he goes down in history as a leg-end.”

William Hill Paul Specials:

5/1 To be given tipster column in British national newspaper.
33/1 To Accept a transfer to Spain
50/1 To Be Released Into The Wild
100/1 Squidnapped by distraught German fans .
250/1 Eaten by the German team on return from the World Cup
500/1 King Juan Carlos to confer Spain’s highest honour, the Order of the Golden Fleece, on the Octopus

You Bet: Ashley Cole Is The Most Hated Man In Britain

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

Bookies William Hill have been inundated with requests from punters looking to place novelty bets on England’s fallen idols. Perhaps the biggest figure of fun is Ashley Cole who is quoted as 1/3 to be the most hated man in Britain. Blundering keeper Rob Green does not escape the jibes with Hills quoting him as 1000/1 to be the spokesman for BP’s spill, given his previous form.

“First he laughs at £55,000 a week, then he cheats on a national treasure and now he texts that he hates England and English people. There can be little doubt that Ashley Cole is trying his best to scoop the award of most hated man in the country and the sooner he emigrates the better!” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill: Devon’s Biggest Ever Football Payout Sparks Massive Gamble On England

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

A mystery punter from Eastern Europe has won over £50,000 on a World Cup winning streak at William Hill in Tiverton. This makes him Hill’s biggest ever football winner in Devon. Having staked £3770 on Michael Dawson to score first in England’s dour 0-0 draw with Algeria at 25/1, the mystery man claimed back his stake due to Dawson not playing. He promptly placed the whole £3770 on Wesley Sneijder to score first for Holland against Japan at 6/1 and Paraguay to beat Slovakia at 10/11 – both at the weekend. This won the man £50,380.91. He then proceeded to reinvest £11,000 of this on England to win against Slovenia winning him a further £4,440 taking his winning streak to well over £50,000. We believe the man, who wishes to remain anonymous, was holidaying in Devon, as he made arrangements to pick up the bet in London.

“Unlike a lot of our punters, this mystery man certainly had the confidence to back England. It will be interesting to see how long his streak continues and we will be keeping a close eye on the situation over the coming weeks,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Rob Benefits From Green Blunder!

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

A middle aged Rangers fan was smiling ear to ear following Rob Green’s blunder on Saturday night – and not just because he was Scottish. Whilst Rob Green was left red faced on Saturday evening, his namesake Rob, from Glasgow, was given a £15,000 boost to his bank balance! England’s draw against the States was the culmination of a £130 bet, placed at a William Hill betting office in Glasgow that also included South Africa to draw 1-1 and France to draw 0-0.

“Rob, like the rest of Scotland, probably had his fingers crossed for an England win, and we can only hope that this win consoles him somewhat,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

England: Manuel The Man For Fab?

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

Following Manuel Almunia’s admission that he would love to play for England, William Hill have opened a book on who will start between the posts for England’s first game of the World Cup Final. David James is the 2/1 favourite followed by Robert Green (5/2) and Ben Foster (9/2). Having qualified for English citizenship, Almunia is fourth favourite (8/1) ahead of former England Number 1, Paul Robinson (14/1).

“There is no doubting Almunia’s talent, and given the constant injury woes that seem to be plaguing England’s goalkeepers he could well get the call up,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.
Who will start in goal in England’s 1st match of world cup 2010? 2/1 David James, 5/2 Robert Green, 9/2 Ben Foster, 8/1 Manuel Almunia, 14/1 Paul Robinson, 20/1 Joe Hart, 25/1 Chris Kirkland, 33/1 Scott Carson
