Paul The Octopus And Premier League Specials

PAUL THE OCTOPUS TIPPING ENGLAND AT LAST!

William Hill have trimmed the price of England being chosen to host the 2018 World Cup from 11/10 to Even money after support for the bid following Paul the Octopus’ prediction that they will win the bid. Hills think that the biggest danger to the England bid will be Russia at 7/4, with Spain & Portugal 9/2 then 12/1 Belgium & Holland.’After Paul’s sensational success during the World Cup itself many punters who profited from his predictions there genuinely seem to believe that he is infallible.’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

PUNTERS PILE ON ROONEY DROUGHT TO CONTINUE

WILLIAM HILL have cut their odds for Wayne Rooney’s goal drought to continue into Manchester United’s match at Fulham this weekend from 6/5 to 10/11. ‘We put up 6/5 for Wayne to fail to score against Fulham initially, but have been forced to trim that to 10/11 after some one-sided betting. We are now 4/5 from 8/13 that he WILL score’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

MANCHESTER CITY NEXT FOR O’NEILL? YOU BET!

WILLIAM HILL have opened a book on which club Martin O’Neill will next join as manager – and make Manchester City their 10/3 favourite, with Manchester United and England 6/1 joint second favourites. ‘Martin will probably sit and wait for a suitable job to come along – and he could be in exactly the right place at the right time for the City job if they don’t fare too well early on in the season – and for United if Sir Alex decides he has finally had enough of management’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Bookies Running Scared Of Blackpool

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

BOOKIES RUNNING SCARED OF BLACKPOOL
BLACKPOOL fans have staked so many bets on their side to WIN the Premier League title this season that William Hill have had to slash their odds by a record EIGHT THOUSAND points in their betting – and now offer them at 2000/1 to win the title, having opened their book at 10,000/1. ‘We now face our biggest ever Premier League loss of OVER £5million if Blackpool somehow manage to win the League after hundreds of fans backed their side -albeit none of them risked more than a tenner’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’We won’t be losing much sleep over the prospect of that five million loss – at least, not until Blackpool win their first half dozen matches!’
Meanwhile, Hills say that they are in the bizarre position of wanting the reigning champions to do well this season, as they have taken very little cash for Chelsea to win the title again – and they currently represent the BEXT possible outcome for them. ‘We will win a hefty sum if Chelsea retain the title as the betting stands at the moment’ added Sharpe.
The second worst result for Hills would be a title triumph for Aston Villa – ‘most of those bets were struck before O’Neill walked out’- while Manchester United would be the third worst result for them, as they have attracted the largest bets so far – one of £10,000 from a Glasgow-based punter and a £6000 bet from a Norwich client.

LATEST WILLIAM HILL PREMIER LEAGUE ODDS…….13/8 Chelsea, 12/5 Man Utd, 9/2 Man City, 6/1 Arsenal, 14/1 Liverpool, 25/1 Tottenham, 100/1 Everton, 200/1 Aston Villa, 500/1 Newcastle, 1000/1 Fulham, 1000/1 West Ham, 1000/1 Sunderland, 2000/1 Blackpool, 2000/1 Blackburn, 2000/1 Birmingham, 2000/1 Stoke, 2000/1 Wigan, 2000/1 Bolton, 2000/1 Wolves, 2000/1 West Brom.

Rooney 12/1 not to score for England in next 4 games:
WHEN WILL ROONEY SCORE AGAIN FOR ENGLAND?
WILLIAM HILL offer 12/1 that Wayne Rooney will fail to score for England in any of their next four matches. ‘Rooney is overdue an England goal and we make him 8/13 to get one or more against Bulgaria in the next game but he is 12/1 to continue his drought for the next four England games’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. Hills also offer 9/2 that Rooney will NOT start the game against Bulgaria – 1/8 that he will do.

When will Rooney next score for England?
vs Bulgaria (H)8/13
vs Switzerland (A)10/3
vs Montenegro (H)9/2
vs Wales (A)12/1

To score in none of these games…..12/1
3/10 England to win Euro Qualifying Group.

11/8 England to remain undefeated during qualifying.

WHEN WILL SIR ALEX FERGUSON CEASE TO BE MAN U BOSS?…..11/10 2011…..9/4 2012;…3/1 2010……8/1 2013+
