Premier League: Bolton Seal Bookie Bonanza…when Will Rooney Score On The Pitch!

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

Bookmakers William Hill had one of their best ever Premiership weekends after all four of the ‘Big Four’ failed to win in the Premiership. “It has been a fantastic weekend for the bookies, we alone have made a substantial seven figure sum. Sunday was particularly good as punters were chasing Saturday loses, backing United and the United-Rangers double at 5/4,” said Hill’s spokesman Rupert Adams.

With Wayne Rooney again drawing a blank, Hills have opened a book on the next Premiership match he scores in, making Sunderland 11/10 favourite and he is 8/1 to fail to score in the next five Premiership games.

When Will Rooney Next Score In The Premiership?: 11/10 Sunderland, 6/5 WBA, 9/2 Stoke, 15/2 Tottenham, 9/1 Wolves, 8/1 None

Three Robertos Conjure Miracles To Keep Bookies Smiling

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

Bookies were celebrating as their fine start to the season continued with shocks and upsets all over the country. Arsenal losing at home to West Brom was the biggest shock of the weekend with almost 95% of punters on the game placing their wagers on an Arsenal victory. West Brom have also been eased to 9/4 from 11/8 for relegation following today’s result.

Despite losing for the first time this season, Chelsea are still the 10/11 favourites to win the Premier League this season with William Hill. Manchester City are 4/11 to finish in the top four with Arsenal priced at 1/6, Manchester United 1/25 and Chelsea 1/100.

“The three Robertos performed minor miracles today and we will be making sure that they are all put on our Christmas card list this year,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Merseyside Misery
Liverpool’s disastrous start to the season continued, failing to win again, and Roy Hodgson’s odds of being the next manager out of a job have shortened from 10/1 to 8/1. Everton are now rooted to the bottom of the Premier League and David Moyes is just 15/2 to be the next manager to leave their club. At the start of the season, Hodgson was 28/1 and Moyes was 33/1 to be the first manager to go.

“At the start of the season, Moyes and Hodgson had two of the best reputations in the business. It could well be that they jump before they have their names dirtied by any more poor results,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Football Odds:

Premier League Outright: 10/11 Chelsea; 2/1 Man Utd; 8/1 Arsenal; 91 Man City; 66/1 Liverpool; 80/1 Tottenham; 150/1 Bar

To Finish In The Top Four: 1/100 Chelsea; 1/25 Man Utd; 1/6 Arsenal; 4/11 Man City; 11/4 Liverpool; 10/3 Tottenham; 11/1 Everton; 12/1 Aston Villa; 28/1 Bar

Can City Stop The Chelsea Scoring Machine?
WILLIAM HILL WEEKEND SPECIALS

With Chelsea having scored an incredible 21 goals in their first five Premier League games William Hill are offering 13/5 that Man City can end Chelsea’s winning streak by keeping a clean sheet. In what looks set to be a hotly contested affair, Hills also make the game the 11/2 favourite to be the match with the most cards this weekend. Should Wayne Bridge and John Terry play, Hills are offering 1/3 that the pair do not shake hands in a repeat of last season’s infamous snub.

“It will certainly be a feisty affair, especially after Chelsea were turned over by City at the Bridge last season. We believe that the game will be full of goals and cards,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Hills are also offering odds on the transfer value of the first scorer in the match and bet as follows:
£25M or more….11/4

Hodgson Now In Crisis?

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

ROY HODGSON’s odds to be the next Premier League manager to leave his job following Liverpool’s defeats to Manchester United and Northampton, have been halved from 20/1 to 10/1 by William Hill. ‘The side beaten by Northampton was made up of players which by and large were not brought to the club by Roy Hodgson, but the embarrassment of the result will impact on the way fans regard his progress since joining the club’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘It is harsh even to consider Roy being forced out in the near future but given the financial problems and Kenny Dalglish’s public statements that he wanted to be manager, a few more poor results could make him consider whether he made the right decision to come to Anfield’.

AND HILLS NOW MAKE HODGSON 1/2 FAVOURITE TO LEAVE LIVERPOOL BEFORE DAVID MOYES DEPRTS EVERTON, WHO IS 6/4 TO BE THE FIRST OF THE PAIR TO GO.

Hills now make Roberto Martinez 2/1 favourite to be the next Prem boss out and also offer 3/1Grant; 4 Mancini; 9/1 Moyes; 10 McLeish; Hodgson; 12 Hughton; 14 Di Matteo; 20 Holloway; McCarthy.
Hills offer 33/1 that NO more Prem managers will leave their clubs this season – ‘Noone wants to back that option’ said Sharpe.

Rocky Reds Should Kick-start Season, Red Bull To Give Man City European Wings

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

Big spending Manchester City are priced at 6/10 to emerge victorious against Red Bull Salzburg, and they are the current 5/1 favourites to win the trophy with Liverpool the 9/1 second favourites, however, Hills offer 11/4 that any team who qualify through the Champions League win the competition. An all English final is priced at 16/1.

Man City are 4/6 to progress further in the competition than Liverpool who are priced at 11/10 to go further than City.

“Torres almost left Liverpool in the summer following a disastrous campaign last season. He looks almost certain to go before the start of next season unless there is a marked turnaround in fortunes. The odds suggest that Liverpool should kick-start their season with a victory tonight,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.
