Read moreManchester City are the best backed side to win the Premier League with William Hill and the current Champions are 6/5 with Manchester United attracting only slight interest despite their large investment over the summer. The biggest bet that Hills have taken on the Premier League is for Liverpool, where a shop punter placed £22,000 e/w on the Reds lifting the trophy at 25/1.
Despite the fact that weve had a busy sporting summer, turnover on our antepost football markets has increased quite markedly, said Hill spokesman Joe Crilly. We were offering top price on every single side to win the Premier League which proved incredibly popular and also shows that despite the glitz and glamour of the Euros and the Olympics, the Premier League remains the number one sporting event in the UK.
After last seasons nail biting finale to the season, William Hill are offering 100/1 that the destination of the Premier League trophy is decided in added time of the final match of the season. Hills also have a number of other specials including 16/1 for any goalkeeper to score a goal this season, while 3/1 is available for all three promoted sides to stay up.
Nigel Adkins is the 7/2 favourite to lose the managerial sack race at 7/2, backed in pre-season from 20/1.

With Roberto Mancini all but ruling out a move for Robin van Persie this summer, William Hill have eased Manchester Citys odds of signing the Arsenal striker. Manchester United are in pole position at Even money to be Van Persies next club, with Italian champions Juventus 13/8. It seems to be a race between those three clubs with Barcelona fourth favourites at 20/1.
Despite Arsenal starting to make signings that could potentially keep RVP at the Emirates, it appears to be a case of too little, too late and he is 4/11 to have left the club by the start of the season.
Rather surprisingly, Alex Ferguson has been very public in his desire to sign van Persie and this shows how desperate he is to get his man after Nasri snubbed the Reds for the Blues last year and it looks like he may well succeed, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.
The other big name likely to be on the move this summer is Andy Carroll and William Hill offer 1/2 for his next club to be West Ham with Sam Allardyce reportedly keen on the big striker. He is 9/4 to return to Newcastle and 7/1 to join Aston Villa.
Robin van Persie next club: 1/1 Manchester United; 13/8 Juventus; 15/8 Manchester City; 20/1 Barcelona; 25/1 AC Milan; 25/1 PSG; 25/1 Real Madrid; 33/1 BAR
Robin van Persie to be at Arsenal on the first day of next season: 2/1 yes; 4/11 no
Andy Carroll next club: 1/2 West Ham; 9/4 Newcastle; 7/1 Aston Villa; 12/1 Tottenham; 20/1 Fulham; 20/1 AC Milan

Team GB square up against Uruguay on Wednesday night knowing that a draw will see them qualify from the Group. GB are the 6/4 slight favourites with William Hill. Underperforming Uruguay are 13/8 and the draw is 11/5.
Senegal are 10/11 favs to top Group A, GB an 11/10 chance to top the group and Uruguay the current outsiders at 5/1. Liverpool and Uruguay striker Luis Suarez is 6/1 to net first against GB and 7/4 any time, both prices shared by Chelsea forward Daniel Sturridge. Highly rated Napoli forward Edinson Cavani has not had the best of tournaments so far but is 13/2 to turn that around with the opener on Wednesday. Gb captain Ryan Giggs is 12/1 to open the scoring again as he did against UAE.
It is a difficult situation for team GB as they face a top side knowing a draw will be enough. Uruguay need to win so an entertaining affair should be on the cards as the South Americans will go looking for goals in their quest for gold, said William Hill spokesman Mark Young.

Tipped for world stardom, Brazils wonderkid Neymar has been installed as the 11/2 favourite with William Hill to top score at this summers Olympic football tournament and his side are 7/4 favourites to win gold.
Spain are 2/1 second favourites and have Atletico Madrid striker, Adrian in their ranks. He is the second favourite at 7/1 to top score this summer. Hulk is 8/1 along with Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani is 9/1. Daniel Sturridge is the highest Team GB player in the betting at 16/1 with Craig Bellamy at 20/1.
There will be a lot of young talent on show in the mens football tournament. Neymar, Adrian, Sturridge, Suarez and Cavani are all superb strikers and it could be as tight as the Euros for top scoring supremacy, said William Hill spokesman Mark Young.

How Will Premier League Title Be Decided ?
HOW WILL PREMIER LEAGUE TITLE BE DECIDED?
ALTHOUGH MAN CITY ARE 1/9 favourites to win the Premier League title just how they will achieve that – or even whether they will – remains to be seen. William Hill have opened a book on how they or United will land the title – and make City 8/15 to win on goal difference, and 7/2 to win by two points. ‘City won’t really care how they win the title, but there are plenty of potential outcomes for punters to speculate on’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

William Hill offer 7/1 that exactly thirty goals will be scored on the Premier Leagues final day of the season this weekend, setting a record number of goals for the whole season – 1063. Hills also offer 4/1 that 31 or more will be scored, 1/ 4 that 29 or fewer will hit the back of the net. Goals seem to have been plentiful and often spectacular this season and it would be fitting for the record to be broken on the final day

Despite hitting a fantastic goal against Chelsea, Papiss Cisse is not at the top of the betting for this years Match of the Day Goal of the Season. Peter Crouchs effort for Stoke vs Manchester City is 10/11 then followed by Cisses second effort at Stamford Bridge at 6/5. Luis Suarezs effort from the halfway line against Norwich is the 6/1 third favourite followed by any other goal at 16/1.
It looks like it will be a two horse race for the Goal of the Season honour and we think it could still go either way, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

And Hills have installed Papiss Cisse as 12/1 fourth favourite to be next seasons Premier League top scorer, and make him a 5/2 chance to score over 20 goals in the division next season.
