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

Andy Carroll looks primed to start against Wales on Saturday, with William Hill offering 7/4 that he partners Wayne Rooney up front. Jermaine Defoe is the 9/4 second favourite and Darren Bent at 3/1. Carroll is Even money to get off the mark at any point during the course of the game and 4/1 to bag the first goal of the game. A lot of the build up to the game has been dominated by Fabio Capello’s decision to hand the captain’s armband back to John Terry and Hills are offering 3/1 that he is stripped of the honour again before he retires.

“Andy Carroll had an impressive debut for England and will be looking to build on that in the match against Wales, with a goal not looking unlikely,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Gareth Bale will undoubtedly be Wales’ star man and William Hill are offering 14/1 that he wins Man Of The Match on Saturday. Former captain, Craig Bellamy looks set to start and Hills are offering 11/2 that either he or Gareth Bale open the scoring. Hills are taking bets on where Bellamy will be playing next season, offering 5/2 that he stays at Cardiff and the same price that he returns to Manchester City.

Wales First Goal: 10/1 Craig Bellamy; 11/1 Steve Morison; 11/1 Ched Evans; 11/1 Simon Church; 12/1 Freddie Eastwood; 14/1 Gareth Bale; 14/1 Sam Vokes; 16/1 Aaron Ramsey; 20/1 BAR

You Bet City Could Be Blue And Pool Could Be Red Faced

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

Manchester City and Liverpool have left themselves with a lot to do in the second leg of their last 16 ties in the Europa League and William Hill are offering 5/1 that both sides progress into the quarter finals.

“5/1 reflects the hole that both Manchester City and Liverpool find themselves in after indifferent first leg performances,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “We would be very surprised if at least one of the sides did not progress.”

Braga performed well in their home leg, but having lost 6-0 to Arsenal, Liverpool are 16/1 to emulate that feat and score six or more goals. New signing, Andy Carroll is yet to get off the mark, but Hills are offering 8/13 that he scores anytime during their match against Braga, while he is 2/1 to score with his head.

Manchester City are 2/1 to qualify against Dynamo Kiev and 4/9 to win in 90 minutes. With the Manchester City owners seemingly demanding silverware this season, Hills are offering 20/1 that they win the Europa League and the FA Cup. Should they fail, the chances of Mancini staying in charge seem slim and he is 13/8 to have left his position by the first game of next season.

Manchester City/D. Kiev:

90 Minutes: 4/9 Man City; 7/1 Dynamo Kiev; 3/1 Draw

To Qualify: 4/11 Dynamo Kiev; 2/1 Manchester City

Liverpool/Braga:

90 Minutes: 4/9 Liverpool; 7/1 Braga; 3/1 Draw

To Qualify: 4/6 Liverpool; 11/10 Braga

16/1 Liverpool to score six or more
2/1 Andy Carroll to score a header
20/1 City to win FA Cup and Europa League

City 6/4 To Be Flying High With Etihad…or Will They Need The Wonga???

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

Manchester City have been given permission to rename their stadium and William Hill think that current shirt sponsors Etihad are the front runners, offering 6/4 that they win the rights to rename Eastlands. The UAE Tourism Board, UAE Interact, are the 4/1 second favourites with Umbro the 10/1 third favourites.

Given Roberto Mancini’s penchant for scarves and hats, Hills are offering 25/1 that Armani buy the rights and 33/1 Versace do. 100/1 is offered for money-bags City to play in the Wonga Stadium next season!

“Etihad are the clear favourites but should Manchester City ever need a payday loan, maybe renaming Eastlands the Wonga Stadium, could help them out,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Who Will Win Rights For Manchester City New Stadium Name:

6/4 Etihad; 4/1 UAE Interact; 10/1 Umbro; 16/1 Vodaphone; 16/1 O2; 16/1 AON; 20/1 Red Bull; 20/1 Benetton; 20/1 Orange; 25/1 Armani; 33/1 Budweiser; 33/1 Versace; 66/1 William Hill; 100/1 Go Compare; 100/1 Wonga

You Bet City Will Be Gloved Up In Kiev

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

Liverpool go to Portugal to face Braga and William Hill are offering 5/4 that record signing, Andy Carroll, gets off the mark during the game. Braga conceded six during the Champions League against Arsenal; and Hills are offering 50/1 that Liverpool beat this and score seven or more. Liverpool are 6/5 to be the British team to progress furthest in the Europa League, while Manchester City are the 5/6 favourites to do so. Rangers are priced at 7/1. With three British sides in action on Thursday, Hills are offering Even money that there are more than three goals scored collectively between Rangers, Manchester City and Liverpool.

City are heading to the icy tundra of Kiev and Hills are offering 4/1 that 10 or all of Manchester City’s starting XI are wearing gloves when the match kicks off. City will be hoping their mercurial striker, Mario Ballotelli, will be on top form, yet Hills are offering 2/1 that his first action in the game will be a booking, while he is 6/4 to be subbed.

“Manchester City’s players can afford the best that handwear can offer and with temperatures plummeting in the Ukrainian capital, we expect that there will be a vast array of gloves on show,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Arsenal’s European adventure once more ended at the Camp Nou and William Hill now offer 8/13 that Arsenal end the season trophy-less. With Arsenal heading toward another barren season, Hills offer 4/1 that Arsene Wenger has left his position by the first game of next season. Another Arsenal mainstay who could be on the way, is Cesc Fabregas, who is 11/10 not to be at Arsenal come the first game of next season.

“Arsenal now have to turn their attentions towards the league and FA Cup, but the odds suggest that they will end the season trinket-less once more,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Chelsea Getting Ever Closer…but When Will Torres Score?

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

Fernando Torres failed to find the net again although William Hill are offering 4/5 that he bags his first Chelsea goal at Stamford Bridge against Copenhagen next week. 7/1 is on offer for him to fail to find the net for the next five matches. Defeat left Blackpool dangling perilously over the relegation trapdoor and thus increased the probability of star man, Charlie Adam, leaving the club. Hills are offering 13/8 that he leaves for Tottenham in the Summer, while 5/2 is on offer for him to join the Kenny Dalglish revolution at Anfield.

“Torres looks more worth 50p than £50 million at the moment, but he is a quality forward but we are expecting him to take us for a small fortune when he does eventually score,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “Possibly staring with Copenhagen next week.”

Blackpool are only two points off relegation now and Hills have them as Even money (from 6/5) to be relegated at the end of the season, while Chelsea on the other hand have closed the gap on Manchester United and have been cut from 14/1 to 7/1 to retain their Premier League crown. “Chelsea are well and truly over their slump…write them off at your peril!”

Which Club Will Charlie Adam Be At On First Day Of Next Season: 13/8 Tottenham; 5/2 Liverpool; 5/1 Blackpool; 10/1 Manchester United; 16/1 German Club; 20/1 Spanish Club; 25/1 Italian Club

Fernando Torres First Chelsea Goal: 4/5 Copenhagen; 5/2 Manchester City; 5/1 Stoke; 8/1 Wigan; 12/1 West Brom; 7/1 None of the next five

Premier League Outright: 8/11 Manchester United; 7/4 Arsenal; 7/1 Chelsea; 25/1 Manchester City; 200/1 Tottenham

Manchester City: Champions League…they’re Having A Laugh But Wigan Look Doomed

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

Manchester City won against Wigan in Saturday’s late kick off and solidified their chances of Champions League football next season. They are offered at 1/3 with William Hill to finish in the top four, with Arsenal at 1/150 and Chelsea 1/8. City’s nearest contenders are Tottenham who are priced at 11/8 to breach the top four. City are also 25/1 to win the league, in from 33/1. Wigan’s woes continue and they are now 1/4 to get relegated, while Wolves and Blackpool are both 11/10 for the drop. Following the continuation of their mini revival under Roy Hodgson, West Brom are 13/8 to get relegated.

Arsenal failed to capitalise on Manchester United’s defeat midweek, by being held to a draw at home by Sunderland and their price to win the Premier League has drifted from 7/4 to 9/4 while, even without playing, Manchester United are back in to 8/15 from 8/13.

“Manchester City did not play particularly well against Wigan, however, they did not look like walking away with anything less than three points,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “As long as they keep winning, the Champions League spot is theirs.”

Manchester United take on Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday and Hills have the away side as marginal 6/4 favourites ahead of Liverpool who offered at 15/8. It could also mark Andy Carroll’s debut for the Reds and Hills are offering 5/1 that he comes off the bench and scores a goal. Games between the pair are often feisty affairs and 2/1 is on offer for any player to be shown red card.

William Hill Odds:

Premier League Outright: 8/15 Manchester United; 9/4 Arsenal; 11/1 Chelsea; 25/1 Manchester City; 150/1 Tottenham Hotspur

Top Four Finish: Manchester United N/A; 1/150 Arsenal; 1/8 Chelsea; 1/3 Manchester City; 11/8 Tottenham Hotspur; 16/1 Liverpool; 50/1 Bolton Wanderers

Relegation: 1/4 Wigan; 11/10 Wolves; 11/10 Blackpool; 6/5 West Ham; 13/8 West Brom; 9/4 Birmingham; 7/2 Blackburn; 12/1 Stoke; 16/1 BAR
