All Chelsea Eyes Turn To Being Best Of The Rest

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

Andre Villas Boas insinuated that nothing less than a win would see Chelsea out of the running for the title and William Hill seem to agree offering 16/1 that Chelsea win the title behind Manchester City (8/13) and Manchester United (2/1). Villas-Boas is odds-on, however, at 1/3 to still be in charge of Chelsea for the first game of next season (9/4 not to be). Chelsea are in pole position to finish top of the sides excluding both Manchesters City and United at 11/8, just ahead of Tottenham at 13/8.

“If his post match talk were to be believed, Villas-Boas has already conceded defeat in his hunt for a Premier League title, but they still have a lot to play for and are in pole position to be the best of the rest,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Fernando Torres started the game once again on the bench and William Hill offer 11/2 that he leaves the club in January and 9/4 that he leaves in the summer. While Torres looked on, both Adebayor and Sturridge continued their rich vein of scoring form and they are 16/1 and 18/1 respectively to win the golden boot this year.

Premier League Outright: 8/13 Manchester City; 2/1 Manchester United; 16/1 Chelsea; 18/1 Tottenham; 33/1 Arsenal; 100/1 Liverpool

Spurs/chelsea…liverpool Latest…kean-go

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

The bookies can barely split Spurs and Chelsea as they go head to head in Thursday night’s big Premier League match, with the home side slight favourites at 6/4. Chelsea are 17/10 with the draw 12/5.

Last week against Manchester City, Frank Lampard came off the bench to bag the winner and Hills are offering 4/1 that any substitute scores a goal. Both Adebayor and Drogba are in fine form at the moment and Hills offer 5/2 that Adebayor scores more than Drogba, while the same price is available for Drogba to outscore his Tottenham counterpart. Both sides have settled into a relatively rich vein of form and Hills go 11/8 about the pair finishing in the top four.

Match Betting: 6/4 Tottenham; 17/10 Chelsea; 12/5 Draw

Adebayor/Drogba Match Bet: 5/2 Adebayor; 5/2 Drogba; 4/5 Tie

Any substitute to score a goal: 4/1

YOU BET SUAREZ ABSENCE TO CARROLL’S BENEFIT

William Hill have pushed Liverpool out to 80/1 from 66/1 to win the title following Luis Suarez’s lengthy ban. They are 5/1 to win the league without the presence of the Manchester sides and 6/4 to finish in the top four. While the lengthening odds suggest that Liverpool may well miss Suarez up front, one man who is sure to benefit is Andy Carroll with Hills shortening his odds of outscoring former Liverpool striker, Fernando Torres, from 11/10 to 4/6.

“Liverpool will certainly miss Suarez’s trickery and more importantly his goals, but we think that Andy Carroll will step up to the plate and bag some goals in the Uruguayan’s absence,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Carroll/Torres Match Bet: 4/6 Carroll; 11/10 Torres

STEVE KEAN LATEST

Steve Kean’s tenure at Blackburn looks perilous and he is 5/4 to be out of a job before his side take on Liverpool on Boxing Day. Steve Kean is 1/4 to be the next manager to lose his job – with Owen Coyle drifting out to 10/3.

2nd Premier League Manager to Leave: 1/4 Steve Kean; 10/3 Owen Coyle; 7/1 Mick McCarthy; 8/1 Andre Villas-Boas; 8/1 Alex McLeish; 16/1 Roberto Martinez; 16/1 Martin Jol; 25/1 Harry Redknapp; 25/1 David Moyes; 25/1 Roy Hodgson; 33/1 BAR

Which Manager Will go first: 1/4 Steve Kean; 11/4 Owen Coyle

Coyle/Kean Gone By New Year: 8/13 None; 6/5 one; 20/1 both

When will Steve Kean leave Blackburn:
8/13 Still in charge after Stoke (02/01/12)
5/4 Before Liverpool (26/12/11)
9/1 After Liverpool (26/12/11) before Manchester United (31/12/11)
12/1 After Manchester United (31/12/11) before Stoke (02/01/12)

Punters And Villas-boas Back Torres To Stay

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

William Hill punters seem to agree with Andre Villas-Boas’ claims that Fernando Torres will be staying put for the time being, with considerable bets having been staked on him still being at Chelsea on the 1st February. Initially offered at 4/11, the weight of money coupled with Villas-Boas’ strong stance on Torres’ future, has seen this price slashed to 1/5. The majority of the money has come from Northern Ireland and Oxfordshire.

“Torres has endured a difficult first year at Chelsea but it appears that punters’ support matches that of his manager and it seems he will be given time to turn things around,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Malaga are 7/1 to be the club that Torres lines up for after the transfer window closes on and Manchester United are 9/1.

Where will Fernando Torres be on the 1st February 2012: 1/5 Chelsea; 7/1 Malaga; 9/1 Manchester United; 10/1 Atletico Madrid; 11/1 AC Milan; 14/1 PSG; 14/1 Inter Milan; 14/1 Manchester City; 16/1 Barcelona; 16/1 Liverpool; 16/1 Juventus; 20/1 Real Madrid; 25/1 Arsenal

11/4 Rooney Not To Start 3rd Game Anyway Plus Manc Mayhem

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

WHAT PRICE ROONEY TO MISS 3RD GAME ANYWAY?

WILLIAM HILL offer 11/4 that Wayne Rooney will NOT start in England’s 3rd Euro 2012 Group game against Ukraine. ‘After the whole desperate campaign to get the ban reduced it would be ironic if he were to be injured ,not selected for the game, or brought on as a late sub’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills make Rooney 1/ 4 to start the game.

WILL IT BE MANC MAYHEM FOR EUROPA PUNTERS?

WILLIAM HILL make Manchester City 6/5 favourites to go furthest of the British clubs left in the Europa League, but fear punters may find it difficult to make their minds up about how committed the two ‘big boys’ eliminated from Champions League may find it to commit to a serious Europa challenge. ‘City would find it difficult to field a poor side given the depth of their squad, but Fergie has yet to seem enthused by the idea of a tilt at the Europa League, and for sure both clubs will regard the Premier League as their main priority’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
‘We enjoyed an excellent night on Wednesday thanks to United’s result but I think on balance we may have preferred to take a short term hit for the long term gain of having four Prem teams in what is clearly the major competition, the Champions League. And the jury is out over whether having City and United playing on Sundays rather than Saturdays in the League will be a positive for us’

Hills…….Furthest progressing British team in the Europa league:

Man City 6/5
Man Utd 6/4
Stoke 6/1
Fulham 8/1
Tottenham 14/1
Celtic 50/1
Birmingham 50/1

Dead heat rules apply.
Win Only.

FINAL STRAW FOR FERGIE?

FOLLOWING their embarrassing exit from the Champions League, Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is 5/2 with William Hill no longer to be United boss on the first day of next season (2/7 still to be in place). ‘Sir Alex may not fancy the idea of having to build yet another team all over again’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. Hills make United 2/5 to win NO major trophy this season.

WILLIAM HILL now make Manchester United Evens to go further than City, who are 8/11 favourites to outdo United, in the Europa League for which Hills have made City 6/1 favourites and also offer 7/1 Man U; 10 At Madrid; 11 Valencia; 14 Schalke; At Bilbao; Porto; 18 Stoke; 20 Ajax; PSV; PSG
HILLS OFFER 20/1 ALL MANCHESTER EUROPA LEAGUE FINAL.

Palace 10/1 For Carling Cup Glory On Bad British Night In Europe

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

Manchester United were unceremoniously dumped out of the Carling Cup by 7/1 (price to qualify) Crystal Palace and The Eagles are 10/1 to win the Cup with William Hill and 5/4 to qualify from their Semi Final against Cardiff (who are 4/7 to reach Wembley). Manchester City are clear favourites to win the tournament at 5/6 ahead of their Semi Final opponents Liverpool at 6/4.

“With one Championship side guaranteed to be in the Final at Wembley, the two legged Semi between Palace and Cardiff will be an undoubtedly dogged encounter,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “We do think, however, that whoever wins the other Semi will be in with a fantastic chance of lifting the first Silverware of the year.”

A Tottenham defeat was the culmination for a poor night of British football in the Europa League and their odds of winning the competition have drifted from 9/1 to 20/1 to win the competition. Birmingham and Celtic have also drifted from 50/1 to 100/1 (Birmingham) and 100/1 to 125/1(Celtic). All eyes now turn to the two sides who are playing on Thursday to carry the torch for British football with Stoke the Even money favourites to progress furthest of all the Home Nations sides with Fulham the 15/8 second favourites. Spurs are 7/2 with Birmingham 16/1 and Celtic 20/1.

British Side to progress furthest: 1/1 Stoke; 15/8 Fulham; 7/2 Tottenham; 16/1 Birmingham; 20/1 Celtic

Europa League Winner: 10/1 PSG; 10/1 Atletico Madrid; 14/1 Schalke; 14/1 PSV; 14/1 Athletic Bilbao; 14/1 Sporting Lisbon; 16/1 Stoke; 20/1 Tottenham; 20/1 Lazio; 20/1 Braga; 20/1 Udinese; 25/1 Twente; 25/1 Rubin Kazan; 28/1 Fulham; 33/1 BAR

Could Tottenham Have The Spurs To Go The Distance

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

Tottenham won once more to keep the pressure on the big boys and Hills make Spurs 33/1 to win the Premier League. Spurs, now third in the Premier League table, are 5/6 with William Hill to finish in the top half this season and 5/6 to finish the season in the Europa League.

“After a slightly slow start to the season, Spurs have chalked up 8 wins in 9 and on current form look a very good bet to bag a top four spot,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Emmanuel Adebayor secured a brace against Villa and Hills think that he will give the current Manchester City strikers a run for their money. He is Evens to outscore Balotelli, 3/1 to outscore Aguero and 10/3to outscore Dzeko.
