Nothing Fishy About Grimsby Punter’s £100k Win

A Grimsby based Manchester United fan was celebrating this weekend – and not just because his side managed to maintain their 100% record in the Premier League but because he won over £100,000 from an £8 bet with William Hill. The mystery man, who wishes to remain anonymous, selected 12 sides to win on his football accumulator and all duly obliged. The 37 year old punter who regularly has an accumulator at the weekend, had never hit the jackpot until Saturday and scooped £101,647.97 when Leeds, Crawley, Hearts, Tranmere, Hull, Peterborough, Sheffield Wednesday, Morecambe, Shrewsbury, Macclesfield, Gillingham and Sheffield Utd all won.

“It is incredibly difficult to pick even one winner, so to have 12 sides all come in is quite a feat and one that was priced at over 12,700/1,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “With a haul of over £100,000, he could spend the rest of the season following United home and away.”

Winning bet:

£8 12 fold

7/10 Leeds
4/6 Crawley
3/4 Hearts
21/20 Tranmere
5/4 Hull
11/10 Peterborough
6/4 Sheffield Wednesday
9/4 Morecambe
17/10 Shrewsbury
8/5 Macclesfield
6/5 Gillingham
5/6 Sheffield United

First The Bbc…could Itv Now Be On Fergie’s Blacklist?

Sir Alex Ferguson seemingly took offence at the line of questioning from Kenny Dalglish’s daughter Kelly, after the match in Benfica and William Hill are offering 8/1 that the two bosses refuse to shake hands after their teams meet at Anfield on the 15th October. Hills also offer 33/1 that Fergie officially announces that he will not conduct any interviews with Kelly Cates following a Manchester United match.

“Fergie is known to have very little time for any journalists that dare to irritate him with awkward questions, and it could well be that his rival’s daughter may well have ticked that box on Wednesday evening,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

With the match between the two rivals a month away, Hills are offering 9/1 that Liverpool win both matches and 5/2 that United do. For both side to get a win each is 9/4.

28/1 All Manchester Final…2/1 For Giggs To Score Next Year

Both Manchester United and Manchester City were held to draws in their opening Champions League matches and are 6/1 (United) and 10/1 (City) to win this year’s Champions League. Hills make United the 4/6 favourites of the two Manchester sides to progress further in the competition with City 11/10. The price of an all Manchester final has been pushed out slightly from 25/1 to 28/1.

“While neither sides administered the hammering that we were expecting, they did avoid defeat in what were two potentially tricky ties and for this reason, their odds of winning the competition have remained largely the same,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Ryan Giggs scored in his 16th Champions League campaign and William Hill are offering 2/1 that he scores in next year’s competition.

You Bet Champions League Trophy Could Be Welcomed To Manchester

The two Manchester sides play their first matches in this year’s Champions League and William Hill make United 7/1 to win the tournament and City 10/1. Hills also offer 25/1 that the final is contested between the two sides. With the two sides flying domestically, Hills are offering 16/1 that between them, the two halves of Manchester win the FA Cup, the Premier League, the Carling Cup and the Champions League between them.

“The two Manchester sides are playing extremely well domestically and if they carry that form into the Champions League, there is no reason why one of them cannot win the Champions League this year,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Both sides are scoring for fun this season, Wayne Rooney particularly, and Hills offer 40/1 that he scores a hat-trick against Benfica and with the wealth of Manchester City’s attacking options, Hills go 4/1 about any of their players bagging a treble. Rooney is 14/1, along with team-mate Javier Hernandez, to be the competition’s top scorer, while Aguero (16/1), Tevez (25/1, Dzeko (25/1), Balotelli (50/1) and Silva (66/1) are all capable attacking options for Mancini’s side.

Raining Goals At The Reebok…when Will Manchester Lose?

The two Manchester sides produced two more polished and efficient performances and William Hill are offering odds on how many the pair will score between them next weekend and make go odds-on at 4/6 that between them they score less than five. With both sides maintaining a 100% record, Hills make Manchester City 4/7 to lose first of the two, with United 5/4 to do so. Hills offer 100/1 that both sides end the season undefeated. Wayne Rooney scored his second consecutive hat-trick against Bolton and Hills offer 33/1 that he completes a hat-trick of hat-tricks against Chelsea next week.

Manchester United are 1/2 to end the season having scored more goals than their “noisy neighbours” who are 6/4 to do so. United are 11/10 to win the league with Manchester City 15/8. Chelsea are 9/2.

“United and City are beginning to pull away from their nearest challengers and the clinical way in which both sides are going about their business indicates that any side that comes up against the two powerhouses from Manchester will be turned over with consummate ease,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “Our punters are going Manchester Mad this season.”

A side at the other end of the table, Swansea, are still to score in the Premier League but Hills think they will break their duck against West Brom next week at 1/3, with the Chelsea game 10/3. They are 5/1 to score their first goal against Stoke and 16/1 that they do not score in either of those games.

Premier League Outright: 11/10 Manchester United; 15/8 Manchester City; 9/2 Chelsea; 16/1 Liverpool; 25/1 Arsenal; 100/1 BAR

William Hill Premier League Latest

LAST TO WIN/LAST TO LOSE

Blackburn’s failure to win at Craven Cottage means that they, along with hosts Fulham, remain as one of the five teams in the Premier League still to register a victory. Hills offer 23/10 that Blackburn are the last side in the division to get three points, while Fulham are 11/2 to do so. Swansea are the 21/10 favourites.

“It will start to get worrying for those teams at the bottom if they go much longer without a victory and every week, the relegation odds for those sides involved get shorter and shorter,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

At the other end of the table, there are six sides who are yet to be beaten, and Manchester United are 6/5 to go the longest without defeat. Manchester City are 2/1 with Chelsea 9/2.

Last team to lose a Prem match 2011/12: 6/5 Manchester United; 2/1 Manchester City; 9/2 Chelsea; 8/1 Aston Villa; 9/1 Newcastle; 12/1 Stoke

Topsy Turvey Torres Tipped To Start Tomorrow

Fernando Torres was axed by Vincente Del Bosque for Spain’s victory midweek and Andre Villas-Boas has claimed he will not hesitate to drop the striker should his poor club form continue. Bookies, William Hill are offering odds on which will be the first game that he finds himself on the bench (or worse). He is 9/2 to miss Saturday’s match against Sunderland and 11/2 to miss the match against Leverkusen midweek. Torres is 14/1 to fail to start any of the next three games.

“Torres is certainly under pressure to start scoring, but the odds certainly indicate that he will be given a few more starts in order to find his form,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Hills are also betting on how many Premiership goals Torres will get this season and make the favourite between six and 10 at 2/1. The days when Torres used to score 20 plus goals a season seem a long way away at the moment, but he is 8/1 to bag over 20 this season. He is 11/10 to get his first Premier League goal of the season against Sunderland and 7/2 that it comes against Manchester United.

Next Premier League Goal: 11/10 Sunderland; 7/2 Manchester United; 4/1 Swansea; 9/1 Bolton; 14/1 Everton; 4/1 None of these five fixtures

Total Premier League Starts: 10/11 21-30; 7/4 Over 30; 4/1 11-20; 12/1 under 10

Total Premier League Goals: 2/1 6-10; 11/4 0-5; 3/1 11-15; 9/2 16-20; 8/1 20+

To Start

Vs Sunderland: 1/8 yes; 9/2 no

Vs Leverkusen: 1/10 yes; 11/2 no

Vs Manchester United: 1/2 yes; 6/4 no
