Transfer Window Set To Spark Betting Bonanza

Tevez, Borini, Barton, Adebayor & Forest Latest

After a slow transfer window so far, the summer has really warmed up with a number of huge transfer stories hitting the headlines. With Zlatan Ibrahimovic seemingly on his way to PSG, William Hill make AC Milan 5/6 to be the club with which Carlos Tevez is plying his trade at the end of the transfer window although current club, Manchester City, are the same price.

“Tevez performed a spectacular u-turn towards the end of last season by saying that he was at Manchester City for the long haul but with AC Milan seemingly willing to mould the team around him, the lure of Italy may be too strong,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Liverpool have reportedly had a transfer offer for Fabio Borini accepted by Roma and William Hill make the Italian striker 10/3 second favourite to be Liverpool’s leading scorer next season behind 6/4 Luis Suarez. He is also 6/4 to score more than 10 goals next season.

QPR’s Joey Barton may face the ignominy of dropping down a division with Blackburn apparently keen on taking the midfielder on loan. William Hill make Rovers Even money to be Barton’s next club, with ambitious Nottingham Forest 7/4 second favourites.

“Barton is ruled out of the first 12 games of the season, which will take him up to November, which would then allow a Championship side to swoop for him outside of the transfer window,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Emmanuel Adebayor looks set to sign for Spurs and William Hill are offering 2/1 that he scores two or more goals against Arsenal.

Glenn Hoddle is the 4/6 favourite to be named as the next permanent Nottingham Forest job, with Roy Keane (backed in from 8/1 to 2/1) as the second favourite. Mick McCarthy has also been well backed at 9/4 while Thursday’s odds on favourite, Darren Ferguson, is out to 9/2.

Carlos Tevez club after transfer window (loans count): 5/6 AC Milan; 5/6 Manchester City; 8/1 PSG; 8/1 Inter Milan; 10/1 Real Madrid; 16/1 Juventus; 20/1 Anzhi Makhachkala; 33/1 Chelsea

Borini EPL goals: 5/4 under 8 goals; 5/2 8-10 goals; 6/4 over 10 goals

Top Liverpool EPL scorer in 2012/13 season: 6/4 Suarez; 10/3 Borini; 7/2 Carroll; 6/1 Gerrard…others on request

Joey Barton next club (loan deals count / void if hasn’t transferred/loaned by winter transfer window): 1/1 Blackburn; 7/4 Nottingham Forest; 5/1 Leeds; 10/1 Newcastle

Adebayor goals vs Arsenal (must be a registered EPL player after summer transfer window): 10/11 none; 11/4 one; 2/1 two or more

Next permanent Nottingham Forest manager: 4/6 Glenn Hoddle; 2/1 Roy Keane; 9/4 Mick McCarthy; 9/2 Darren Ferguson; 10/1 Alex McLeish; 16/1 Harry Redknapp; 16/1 Sven Goran Eriksson; 25/1 BAR

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

*************************************WILLIAM HILL MIDWEEK FOOTBALL ROUND UP*****************************************

BECKS TO BATTER FERGIE?….William Hill offer 6/1 that David Beckham will score for Spurs against Manchester United if he signs on loan for them this January. (Bets void if Beckham does not sign for Spurs)

ENGLAND ODDS-ON TO BEAT GHANA. England have been made 1/2 favourites to win their forthcoming friendly with Ghana by William Hill who make the away team a 5/1shot with the draw AT 12/5.

YOU BET KENNY IS THERE FOR LIVERPOOL LONG HAUL

KENNY DALGLISH has been backed from 13/8 to 10/11 favourite to win the manager’s job at Liverpool on a permanent basis following the club’s FA Cup defeat at Old Trafford. ‘Clearly the fact that his team conceded a first minute penalty, had their skipper sent off and failed to score has impressed punters, who haven’t wanted to back anyone else to get the job on a long-term basis’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

NEXT PERMANENT LIVERPOOL MANAGER?….10/11 Dalglish; 9/2 O’Neill; 11/2 Coyle; 6/1 Rijkaard; 7/1 Rangnick; 8/1 Villas-Boas. Others on request.

WHERE WILL LIVERPOOL FINISH IN PREM?….top 4 – 20/1; 5th-7th 11/8; 8th -10th -13/8; 11th-14th – 3/1; 15th-17th – 10/1; Bottom three – 25/1.

WILL KENNY FIND TORRES SCORING BOOTS?….With Kenny Dalglish declaring he can bring the best out of mis-firing striker Fernando Torres, William Hill are betting on how many Premier League goals he will score during the remainder of the season – and make 6 or less their 5/4 favourite. ‘Torres has not looked the same player for Liverpool since the World Cup, at which although he ended up on the winning side he was not over impressive. His form could be the key to the rest of Liverpool’s season’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Hills…Torres PL goals for rest of season:

6 or less
5/4

7 to 9
15/8

10 or more
2/1

CARLING CUP:

YOU BET CARLTON WILL BE UP FOR CARLING

CARLTON COLE has socred in his last five Carling Cup games and William Hill make him a 6/4 chance to continue the sequence against Birmingham in their Semi Final first leg game on Tuesday.

HILLS…TO WIN CARLING CUP…8/15 Arsenal; 7/2 Birmingham; 9/2 West Ham; 14/1Ipswich.

Semi Final first leg with most goals:

West Ham v Birmingham
12/5

Tie
3/1

Ipswich v Arsenal
8/11

GRANT NEXT FOR MANAGERIAL HAMMERING?

AVRAM GRANT is 1/3 favourite with William Hill to be the next Premier League manager to leave his club this season. Hills also offer 11/2 Houllier; 11/2 Ancelotti; 10/1 McCarthy; 16/1 Hughes; 16/1 Martinez; 20/1 Kean; Di Matteo; Mancini; No more managers to go this season. ‘Mr Grant has been favourite in this market on five different occasions so far, and managed to survive thus far, so he probably isn’t even popular with football punters in general, let alone West Ham fans at the moment’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
