Punters Celebrate 440/1 Premier League Accumulator…

William Hill’s ‘Will Both Teams Score’ coupon has proved a staggering success with punters since it was first launched in August 2009. For the first time since the coupon’s inception, Hills have had to pay out on all twenty Premier League teams scoring. Already, from a standing start, the bet regularly takes more money than perennial football favourite – the correct score.

“As the first mainstream bookmaker to offer the bet – and one of the few to offer customers the option of betting on whether individual teams will or will not score, we were optimistic that it would prove popular, but it has exceeded all expectations and is now even out-performing the correct score turnover,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

The bet is not just limited to Premier League fixtures and punters can supplement their selections with games from the top four English divisions as well as SPL and FA Cup ties as well. Despite the fact that Blackburn’s Christopher Samba had a face like thunder when he headed in his consolation goal against Manchester United at the weekend, William Hill punters will have been all smiles as he completed a clean sweep on Saturday. Punters who backed all 20 sides to score will be wanting to kiss Martin Skrtel (although how pleased he will be about it is another matter) who completed the weekend’s scoring by netting at both ends at White Hart Lane!

“This weekend was a real headache for us as the price for all twenty teams to score was over 440/1 but the coupon is proving a real success. Most other bets would have been dead when Blackburn were 7-0 down on Saturday but it still gave our punters something to shout about. We will be hoping for a different outcome this weekend, however, when the price is 555/1 for all 20 to score,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

England’s World Cup Bid Going Down The Panorama?

Panorama are set to broadcast their controversial show on the World Cup bribing scandal tonight despite claims that it could harm England’s bid to host the competition. As it stands Russia are the 4/6 favourites to win the chance to host the 2018 World Cup with England the 9/4 second favourites.

“At the moment England are the second favourites to host the 2018 World Cup but we are fully expecting their odds to change after tonight’s show. Which way they will go is impossible to gauge. Come tomorrow morning, England could either be back in with a shout or out of the running completely,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill World Cup 2018 Bid Odds:

4/6 Russia; 9/4 England; 3/1 Portugal & Spain; 50/1 Belgium & Holland

Bookies Paying The Penalty For Rooney’s Lack Of Form

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

Wayne Rooney scored from the spot last night against Rangers taking his Manchester United tally this season to two…both goals being penalties. William Hill have opened a book on the method of Rooney’s next goal and make a penalty 5/1. Rooney to score from a shot inside the penalty box is Hill’s 4/7 favourite, while a shot from outside the penalty box is offered at 9/2.

“Wayne Rooney scored a penalty against Rangers, however, that does not disguise the fact that he is suffering from a continued dip in form. It could well be that he adds to his tally with another penalty,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Wayne Rooney Odds:

Method of Next Goal: 4/7 shot from inside the box (excluding header & penalty); 9/2 Shot from outside the box (excluding header or free kick); 5/1 Penalty; 6/1 Header; 12/1 Direct from free kick.

William Hill are offering 5/2 that Manchester United remain unbeaten until Christmas. Their next fixture this season sees the Red Devils take on Blackburn at Old Trafford and Hills are offering 10/1 that they avoid defeat. They are 20/1 to go the whole season without being beaten. Wayne Rooney will be hoping to string together a run of goals after netting his second goal of the season from the spot against Rangers. Hills are offering 5/1 that he notches his third of the season from the spot. He is odds on, at 4/7 to add to his account with a shot from inside the area.

“Fergie will certainly claim to be focusing all of his attentions on the next game, but he will surely be keeping half an eye on chasing down the record held by Wenger’s unbeatables,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Last weekend was remarkable for the amount of red cards and Hills are offering 10/11 that two or more cards are shown this weekend.

Man Utd are the 6/1 favourites to score the fastest goal this weekend while the North-West derby between Bolton and Blackpool is 7/2 to see the most goals.

Rooney Costs Bookies A Small Fortune As Brave Rangers Now 20/1 For Europa Glory

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

Manchester United and Tottenham both secured victory in Europe tonight and in the process secured their places in the last 16 of the Champions’ League. Wayne Rooney scored the only goal of the evening as Manchester United defeated Rangers and bookmakers William Hill have had to pay out a high five figure sum because of it.

“We are not feeling so smug tonight as it would appear that all of the money that we won on Arsenal losing has been paid out to punters who put their faith in Rooney,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Spurs are now priced at 20/1 from 25/1 with William Hill while United are in from 9/1 to 8/1 to win the Champions’ League.

The English sides both managed to improve on Tuesday’s woeful performances by Chelsea and Arsenal, but despite this, Chelsea are the 11/8 favourites to progress furthest out of all of the English teams. United are 15/8 and Spurs are priced as the 11/2 outsiders of the four.

Rangers were unlucky in defeat to Manchester United and have guaranteed themselves third place in the group. Hills have priced them at 20/1 to now go on and win the Europa League.

William Hill Champions’ League Odds:

Outright: 11/4 Barcelona; 11/4 Real Madrid; 4/1 Chelsea; 8/1 Man Utd; 12/1 Arsenal; 16/1 Bayern Munich; 16/1 Inter; 20/1 AC Milan; 20/1 Tottenham; 50/1 BAR

English Team To Get Furthest: 11/8 Chelsea; 15/8 Man Utd; 7/2 Arsenal; 11/2 Tottenham

English Teams In The Final: 4/5 One; 7/5 None; 11/2 Two

20/1 Rangers to win the Europa league

United / Rangers To Show Massive Improvement…gareth 13/2 To Bale Out Spurs

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

In a must win game for Rangers against Manchester United, William Hill have priced the Scottish side at 11/4 to defeat United and Rangers are 11/2 to qualify from group C. Wayne Rooney looks set to make his first start for United since his return from injury and Hills are offering 11/10 that Rooney scores more goals than the entire Rangers team tomorrow night while he is 4/9 to score more goals than Kenny Miller.

The last time that Manchester United travelled to Ibrox, Phil Neville scored the only goal after just five minutes and Hills are offering 23/10 that the first goal is scored in the first to 15th minute. It is 5/6 that both teams score.

“Despite attracting a lot of money, the last ‘Battle of Britain’ fizzled out into a non-spectacle, hopefully both sides will bring out their A-Game and we should see a couple of goals that will make up for September’s snoozefest,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Spurs have made a habit in recent weeks of coming back from behind to get results and William Hill are offering 20/1 that Spurs come from behind at half-time to win the game and 13/2 that Bale scores the last goal. For both Van der Vaart and Bale to score is priced at 8/1.

Spurs are 4/9 to win at home while Werder Bremen are 5/1. The draw is 19/5.

Arsenal threw away victory against Tottenham on Saturday and Hills are offering 33/1 that they lead at half-time against Braga, but go on to lose the game.

With speculation about Carlo Ancelotti’s future at Chelsea reaching fever pitch on Sunday evening, Hills are quoting 7/1 that the Zilina game is his last in charge.

“When Arsenal and Chelsea play at their best, they can score for fun. The odds suggest that both sides can put a disappointing weekend behind them and get a couple of Champion’s League goals each,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Arsenal HT/Braga FT: 33/1

33/1 Arsenal score 7 or more
11/4 Chelsea score 5 or more

7/1 Ancelotti last game in charge is against Zilina

Bolton Wanderers have been the surprise package this season and currently sit in fourth spot in the Premier League. They are 25/1 to qualify for the Champion’s League (having been 250/1 at the start of the season) and 7/4 to finish in the Europa League spots (5th to 8th). They are 28/1 to finish in the bottom three.
