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 froma Glasgow-based punter and a £6000 bet from a Norwich client.

Hodgson Liverpool Favourite Again

HODGSON FAVOURITE FOR LIVERPOOL JOB- AGAIN!

ROY HODGSON is again 13/8 favourite to become the next permanent manager of Liverpool with William Hill who also offer 3/1 Martin O’Neill; 4/1 Kenny Dalglish; 9/1 Sven; 12/1 Harry Redknapp; 14/1 Klinsmann; Hughes; McLeish.40/1 Moyes; Thompson; Keegan.
‘Hodgson has returned to favouritism after backing for Martin O’Neill dried up.The betting suggests that Liverpool have not yet put a short-list of genuine contenders in place with many potential bosses being supported, although we remain sceptical that Harry Redknapp will give up the Champions League and that David Moyes will defect from one part of Merseyside to the other.’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Rio Under Pressure As Strach Takes Over At Boro And Cole Returns To Fray

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

RIO UNDER PRESSURE ? BET ON IT

AFTER another high profile below par performance by England defensive lynchpin Rio Ferdinand, William Hill have cut their odds about him failing to start England’s opening World Cup game from 6/1 to 4/1, and for missing out completely on the England squad from 10/1 to 8/1. ‘R io’s recent form has been far from vintage and he is fortunate that most of his serious rivals for the England place seem to be injury prone’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills make Rio 1/7 to start for England in their opening World Cup game and 1/20 to be selected for the England World Cup squad.

COLE NO JOEK FOR WORLD CUP PLACE
William Hill make fit again Joe Cole 7/4 to start England’s 1st world cup match, and 2/5 no to.’Joe made an impressive return against Blackburn and will have every chance of re-establishing himself in time for the World Cup’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
YOU BET PRESSURE OFF RAFA
FOLLOWING Liverpool’s victory over Man U, William Hill have lengthened their odds about Rafa Benitez being out before the end of the season from 5/4 to 9/2 and now make him 1/8 still to be in place at the end of the campaign. ‘What a difference one result can make’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. ‘But Rafa will be back under pressure if Liverpool crash out of the Champions League and don’t follow up the United win by revitalising their title challenge.’
WILLIAM HILL- FIRST PREMIERSHIP BOSS TO GO – 25/1 THEY ALL SURVIVE!
WITH PREMIER LEAGUE clubs resolutely refusing to sack their managers, William Hill have cut their odds from 33/1 to 25/1 that none at all will depart this season. ‘It is very susprising that no manager has yet to leave his club this season, but I’m sure this is the calm before the storm, with several bosses beginning to look vulenrable as the season unfolds’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
7/4 Phil Brown; Paul Hart; 7/1 Benitez; McLeish; 8 Zola; 10 Redknapp; 16 Megson; 20 Allardyce; 25 Ancelotti; Hughes; Martinez; McCathy; Moyes.
OH, GORD, WHERE WILL BORO FINISH?
WITH Gordon Strachan installed as Boro boss, William Hill are betting on where they will finish in the Championship:
Where will Middlesbrough finish in the championship?:
1st 11/2
2nd 4/1
3rd – 6th 11/10
7th -10th 9/2
11th -15th 8/1

***************************************PREMIER LEAGUE WEEKEND SPECIALS***************************************************************

PREMIER LEAGUE BOSSES UNDER PRESSURE: 14/1 BENITEZ, BROWN, HART ALL OUT BY FEBRUARY

WILLIAM HILL are offering 14/1 that under-pressure bosses Phil Brown, Paul Hart and Rafa Benitez will all have left their clubs by the end of the January transfer window. ‘The surprise is that no Prem boss has departed yet this season – but it is only a matter of time. Paul Hart is favourite to be first but there are plenty who will fancy a flutter on these three being gone by February’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WILLIAM HILL have opened a book on which of the ‘Big 4 Bosses’ will leave his club first, and on when one of the four will eventually depart – making Rafa Benitez and 2010 respectively the favourites.
‘WITH ALL OF THE BIG Four Clubs and their bosses beginning to feel a little pressure, either from fans because of their own performances on behalf of their clubs, or by the shadow of Big 4 wannabes like Man City, Spurs, Villa and Everton closing in on their private club of four, it feels as though an era may be drawing to a close’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. ‘We think Rafa is in genuine danger of departing by the end of the season, and one or two of his Big 4 counterparts clearly can’t go on much longer as they are already rivalling the Rolling Stones for longevity. The betting on whether the Big 4 will still dominate the Top 4 at the end of the season or not is also very close’.

SO, WHEN IS FIRST PREM BOSS GOING TO GET CHOP?

WITH NO Premiership manager yet leaving his club this season, William Hill are betting on when the first one will go, and reckon it will probably happen in October, the month they have made 2/1 favourite. ‘Every manager knows that a few poor results can result in pressure from fans, and there are a few sides who haven’t made the best of starts to the season but as yet noone has paid the ultimate price – surely that situation can’t last for much longer in those impatient times’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Sep-09 9/2
Oct-09 2/1
Nov-09 5/2

BIG FOUR TO BATTER BOOKIES AGAIN?
WILLIAM HILL are offering 39/10 about Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Manchester United all winning this weekend. ‘We’re tempting fate by taking on the Big 4 – but as all bar Chelsea have proved vulnerable already this campaign we’re hopeful that they won’t all win’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
HILLS; TITLE ODDS….6/5 Chelsea; 5/2 Man U; 7 Liverpool; 8 Arsenal; 8 Man City; 40 Spurs; 150 Aston Villa; 300 Everton.

WILL IPSWICH FANS STAY KEANE ON ROY?
WITH IPSWICH struggling without a win in the Championship relegation zone, William Hill are offering odds of 5/6 that Roy Keane will cease to be their manager before the end of the season, and 5/6 that he is still in place on the final day of the campaign. ‘Keane was greeted like a conquering hero when he arrived at the club but there are reports of the side being booed off in recent matches and without a win to show for their efforts so far Roy needs a rapid turnaround in form if he is to avoid an ignominious early exit. As our odds suggest we believe that it could go either way for him’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills have cut Ipswich to 8/1 to be relegated from 40/1 at the start of the season. ‘Everyone is assuming that they are too good and have too much money to go down. But the fate of Leeds, Norwich and Southampton suggests that that’s not certain to be the case’ said Sharpe.

Who’ll Go First – Moyes Or O’ Neill ?

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

WHO’LL GO FIRST – MOYES OR O’NEILL?

WITH both of their sides making a disappointing start to the new season, William Hill have slashed the odds about David Moyes and Mart O’Neill being the first manager of the season to leave his club – and opened a book on which of the two will go first this season.
Hills make Moyes 7/1 to go first this season; O’Neill 8/1 but offer 1/7 that both will still be in place when the final Premiership game of the season kicks off.
Hills make Villa 8/11 by Hills to finish higher than Everton, who are Even money to do vice versa.
MOYES has been cut from 40/1 to 16/1 by Hills to be the first manager to go this season, with O’Neill down from 33/1 to 20/1. ‘Both are amongst the best regarded managers in the Premiership but their opening results have suggested that they might both struggle to equal or improve upon what their sides managed to do last season, and that could prompt a sacking or resignation’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
HILLS: FIRST PREMIERSHIP MANAGER TO PART COMPANY WITH CLUB: 7/2 Hart; 5/1 Brown; McLeish; 8/1 Hughes; 10/1 Megson; 16/1 McCarthy; Moyes; 20/1 O’Neill; 25 Benitez; Hodgson; Martinez.
