Bookies Pay Penalty For Balotelli Late Winner

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

Bookmakers William Hill were left counting the cost of Mario Balotelli’s controversial late winning goal for Manchester City against Spurs – ‘The difference between City winning the game and it being a draw was into seven figures for William Hill alone and must have cost the industry £5m+ as punters steamed into the Manchester double, pairing City to beat Spurs, with United beating Arsenal’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Fans Start Chamber-Layin Into Arsene

As Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain left the Emirates field to a chorus of boos, there hinted the first signs of dissatisfaction towards Arsene Wenger from the Arsenal faithful. William Hill offer 13/8 that Arsene Wenger is no longer Arsenal boss come the end of the season. Oxlade-Chamberlain is 6/4 to be in England’s Euro 2012 squad and 8/13 to be in Team GB’s Olympics squad. Danny Welbeck bagged the winner for Manchester United and Hills make him 2/1 to start the first game of the Euros for England.

“There was a real feeling of discontent around the Emirates as Oxlade-Chamberlain was taken off and the usually steadfast support of Arsene Wenger appears to be crumbling at the moment,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill make Manchester City the 2/5 favourites to win the Premier League, after their last minute penalty helped to maintain their three point lead over 9/4 Manchester United. Spurs however are out to 16/1 while another defeat for Arsenal has left them at 150/1.

With the two Manchester sides seemingly having sewn up a top four finish at least, the race is on to fill the other two spots, with Spurs 1/5, Chelsea 2/5 and Arsenal 2/1, while Spurs also lead the race to win the league without the two Manchester sides at 8/11.

Premier League winner: 2/5 Manchester City; 9/4 Manchester United; 16/1 Tottenham; 50/1 Chelsea; 150/1 Arsenal; 500/1 Liverpool

Top four finish: 1/5 Spurs; 2/5 Chelsea; 2/1 Arsenal; 7/2 Liverpool; 25/1 Newcastle; 100/1 BAR

Winner without Manchester: 8/11 Tottenham; 13/8 Chelsea; 13/2 Arsenal; 20/1 Liverpool; 250/1 Newcastle

Top London Club: 4/6 Tottenham; 13/8 Chelsea; 11/2 Arsenal; 100/1 Fulham; 200/1 QPR

Oxlade-Chamberlain to be in Euro 2012 squad: 6/4 yes; 1/2 no

Oxlade Chamberlain to be in Team GB & NI football team for Olympics: 8/13 yes; 6/5 no

Danny Welbeck to start England’s first Euro 2012 match: 2/1 yes; 4/11 no

Arsene Wenger still at Arsenal on the 1st game of 2012/13 season: 4/9 yes; 13/8 no

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

Andy Carroll suffered another tough day at the office and William Hill are offering 7/4 that he fails to score in the next four games, although he is 6/4 to score against Manchester City in the Carling Cup. Having seemed like an almost certainty to be part of the England squad for Euro 2012, Hills are now offering 5/6 that Carroll fails to make the cut. Kenny Dalglish is also suffering at the moment as Liverpool are suffering a tough time of it and Hills make him 6/4 to no longer be boss on the first day of next season.

“There is no doubt that Liverpool are struggling at the moment and Dalglish is 25/1 to be the next Premier League manager to go and he is just 6/4 to have left the position by the start of next season,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Bolton Wanderers surprised Liverpool but remain embroiled in a relegation battle and William Hill make the8/11 to go down, with Wigan the 2/9 favourites and Blackburn 4/5. Hills also offer 11/4 that all three of the troubled North-West sides (Bolton, Blackburn and Wigan) are relegated together.

William Hill odds:

Premier League outright: 1/2 Manchester City; 5/2 Manchester United; 10/1 Tottenham; 33/1 Chelsea; 80/1 BAR

Third Premier League manager to leave their job: 2/1 Mick McCarthy; 11/4 Steve Kean; 7/2 Owen Coyle; 11/2 Andre Villas-Boas; 8/1 Alex McLeish; 8/1 No Manager to leave; 9/1 Roberto Martinez; 16/1 BAR

Following confirmation that both David Beckham and Ryan Giggs have expressed an interest in being part of the GB Olympic squad, William Hill are offering odds of 8/15 that the pair will appear together in the side at any stage of the tournament.

“Having Beckham and Giggs in the team will certainly raise interest in the tournament and given the sudden glut of oldies playing in the Premier League it would appear to be a very likely scenario”, said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Hills are also offering odds of 2/1 that another Manchester United oldie, Paul Scholes, will join them in the squad and play alongside them at the Olympics.

TO PLAY ANY PART IN TEAM GB FOOTBALL SQUAD

“The early season goal rush seems to have dried up somewhat in recent games”, said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
WILLIAM HILL, who now make Man City 7/1 to remain undefeated for the remainder of the Premier League season, offer 5/6 that they will win the title with their great local rivals United as runners up. ‘Spurs’ slip up at the weekend and City beating Wigan has handed the advantage to the two Manchester clubs’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
