Goal Line Technology Imminent – You Can Bet On That

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

GOAL LINE TECHNOLOGY ODDS-ON BEFORE 2013

WILLIAM HILL believe it is an odds-on chance that goal line technology will be used in the Premier League before the end of next year. ’It appears that the inevitable introduction of goal-line technology is moving ever closer’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

William Hill: Year of the first Premier League match to use goal line technology:

by the end of 2012 4/6
2013 9/4
2014 or later 7/2

FIRST PREM BOSS TO LEAVE WILL GO IN DECEMBER – BET ON IT

WILLIAM HILL have opened a book on when the first Premier League boss will leave his job this season – and Hills go 2/5 that it will happen in December. ‘Several managers are under severe pressure at the moment and we fully expect that one or more wil go before the New Year’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
For the first time, Andre Villas Boas is odds on to be out of his job as Chelsea boss by the first game of next season with WILLIAM HILL, who make AVB 9/2 fourth favourite to be the next Premier League manager to leave his club this season. Hills currently make Steve Kean 6/4 favourite with Steve Bruce 9/4 second favourite, Roberto Martinez 5/2 third favourite.
Hills also offer: 7/1 Owen Coyle; 8/1 Alex McLeish; 12/1 Mick McCarthy; 14/1 Harry Redknapp.
‘We are beginning to see money for ‘no managers’ to lose their jobs this season, but are happy to leave the price at 10/1 as we cannot envisage that happening’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

In which month will the 1st Premier League manager leave:

November 8/1
December 2/5
January 4/1
February or March 7/1
April until final day of season 20/1

HILLS…Next Chelsea Manager: 5/4 Guus Hiddink; 5/1 Jose Mourinho; 6/1 Marco van Basten; 8/1 Pep Guardiola; 16/1 Frank Rijkaard; 16/1 Mark Hughes; 16/1 Fabio Capello; 16/1 David Moyes; 20/1 Rafael Benitez

YOU BET TORRES COULD BE ON WAY OUT, TOO…….

WITH FERANDO TORRES left on the bench for Chelsea’s Champions League defeat by Leverkusen, William Hill are betting on where the troubled striker will be playing on the first day of next season:

Where Will Torres Be 1st Day of 12/13 season?
Chelsea 4/7
Man City 7/1
Malaga 10/1
Real Madrid 10/1
Atl Madrid 12/1
Man Utd 14/1
Barcelona 16/1
Tottenham 16/1
Arsenal 20/1
Liverpool 25/1

Others on request. Loan deals do not count.

UNITED 20/1 TO WIN EUROPA LEAGUE

WILLIAM HILL make Manchester United 20/1 to win the Europa League this season, with Man City 7/1, and Chelsea 16/1. ‘Some big clubs could find themselves unexpectedly in the Europa League this season and if so it will be interesting to see what sort of appetite they might have to win it’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Europa League Outright:

Man Utd 20/1
Chelsea 16/1
Man City 7/1

**If the stated teams do not take part in the Europa league 11/12, bets are losers.

WILLIAM HILL…..Premier League team to go furthest in Champions League: 6/4 Man U; 2/1 Chelsea; 9/4 Arsenal; 7/1 Man C;

Hills…Number of English teams in the knockout stages of the Champions League:
1….20/1
2…..2/1
3…..8/13
4…….9/2

Villas-boas Singing The Blues As Chelsea Lose Again

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

Chelsea’s woes continued as they lost at home and William Hill make Andre Villas Boas just 6/5 to have left his position as Chelsea boss by the first game of next season (8/13 to still be there). Villas-Boas is now 9/1 to be the first manager to leave his position.

Chelsea’s defensive issues were highlighted once more and they have now failed to keep a clean sheet at home since April. They are 25/1 to fail to keep a home clean sheet in the next five matches.

“Chelsea found themselves in a funk like this during last season and it ultimately cost Carlo Ancelotti his job and should this poor run of form continue, then Villas-Boas could be in the same position come the start of next season,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Premier League Outright: 4/6 Manchester City; 15/8 Manchester United; 14/1 Chelsea; 25/1 Arsenal; 40/1 Tottenham; 50/1 Liverpool; 300/1 Newcastle

Next Chelsea Manager: 5/4 Guus Hiddink; 5/1 Jose Mourinho; 6/1 Marco van Basten; 8/1 Pep Guardiola; 16/1 Frank Rijkaard; 16/1 Mark Hughes; 16/1 Fabio Capello; 16/1 David Moyes; 20/1 Rafael Benitez

First Premier League manager to go: 1/1 Steve Kean; 5/2 Roberto Martinez; 10/3 Steve Bruce; 6/1 Owen Coyle; 8/1 Mick McCarthy; 9/1 Andre Villas-Boas; 12/1 Harry Redknapp; 16/1 Alex McLeish; 20/1 BAR

Andre Villas-Boas to be in charge of Chelsea on the first day of next season: 8/13 yes; 6/5 no

When will Chelsea next keep a clean sheet at home in the PL?

Wolves (26/11/11) 4/7
Man City (12/12/11) 5/1
Fulham (26/12/11) 4/1
Aston Villa (31/12/11) 9/1
Sunderland (14/01/12) 14/1
No clean sheet in these matches 25/1

Martinez 2nd Fav To Be Next Boss Out

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

MARTINEZ OUT’ ODDS COLLAPSE

Roberto Martinez has been backed from 16/1 to 2/1 second favourite to be the next Premier League manager to leave his club with William Hill who make Steve Kean 11/10 favourite with Steve Bruce at 11/4; Mick McCarthy 5/1; Owen Coyle 6/1. ‘Given Martinez’ decision to stay with Wigan rather than go to Villa last season we have never felt he was under much pressure despite adverse results, but of course, it is always possible that he may decide to walk away should results not improve soon’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘So when punters began to back him to be the next boss to go we had to act.’
HILLS MAKE MARTINEZ 5/6 TO BE WIGAN BOSS ON THE FIRST DAY OF NEXT SEASON, 5/6 NOT TO.

NEW Doncaster signing El Hadji-Diouf is 2/1 with William Hill to be sent off during his three month stint at the club. (Bets run until Jan 31, 2012 and are for 1st team competitive games only)
