Money On Mcglynn To Be New Hearts Boss

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

John McGlynn has been backed by William Hill punters to take up the vacant manager’s role at Tynecastle.

The Raith Rovers boss is 7/1 to take the post but ex Lokomotiv Moscow boss Jose Couceiro is still the favourite for the Hearts hot seat at 11/10. 40% of bets on the market have been placed on McGlynn.

“McGlynn has done a solid job at Raith Rovers leading punters to believe that it could be time for a step up. He is somewhat of an outsider with Couceiro heading the market and ex players Paul Hartley and Stephen Pressley close to him. It is a case of watch this space,” said Hill’s spokesman Mark Young.

Next Hearts Manager: 11/10 J Couceiro, 5/1 S Pressley, 11/2 G Locke, 6/1 C Cameron, 6/1 P Hartley, 7/1 J McGlynn, 10/1 B Davies, 12/1 T Butcher, 14/1 J Jeffries, 16/1 J Robertson, 16/1 L Clark, 16/1 S McCall, 16/1 D Weir, 20/1 D Gvildys, 20/1 E Riabovas, 20/1 R Zutautas, 20/1 S Clarke, 25/1 J Calderwood, 25/1 D Adams, 33/1 A McCleish, 40/1 B Reid.

Book On Young Player Of The Year After Massive Gamble On Walker

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

William Hill have closed the book on PFA Young Player of the year after Kyle Walker was backed in from 33/1 outsider to 5/6 to scoop the award. The straw that broke the camel’s back was when a punter in Leeds entered a shop asking to place £1200 on the Tottenham right back.

“This is a market in which the outcome is predetermined and while the majority of punters who want a genuine bet outweigh those that already know, unfortunately we think we may have inadvertently found out the winner of the Young Player of the Year,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

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

WHO’LL BE FIRST OF BIG FIVE BOSSES TO GO?
WITH pressures facing all five of the leading Premier League bosses, William Hill have opened a book on which of them will be the first to depart his club and have installed Arsene Wenger as the 5/4 favourite, with Kenny Dalglish the 8/1 outsider. ‘For different reasons each of the bosses could find themselves leaving sooner than expected, and likewise it would be no great surprise if they were all still around in three years or more, but we feel Arsene is currently under the greatest pressure’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WHICH OF THESE FIVE WILL BE FIRST BOSS TO LEAVE HIS POSITION?
Wenger..5/4
Villas-Boas….5/2
Mancini..7/2
Ferguson…6/1
Dalglis…h8/1

Argie Bargie At City: You Bet One Argentine Out And One In

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

With Carlos Tevez seemingly on his way out of Manchester City, William Hill have opened a market on who will come in to replace him, making Sergio Aguero their 1/2 favourite. Second favourite is Napoli playmaker Marek Hamsik at 5/1 with Samuela Eto’o, Giuseppe Rossi and Karim Benzema all offered at 6/1. Wayne Rooney is a 100/1 outsider.

“Tevez was in such sparkling form last season that he will be very hard to replace, but money is not an option for Manchester City and we fully expect them to splash the cash in order to find the best possible replacement,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Tevez’s goals were vital into propelling Manchester City into third place in the Premier League last season and Hills offer 4/7 that no player scores more than the 20 that he racked up last season. Of the players still at City, Hills make Balotelli 15/8 favourite to be the club’s leading scorer next season, although 7/4 is on offer for any player not currently there (or not a striker) to lead the scoring charts.

William Hill Manchester City Odds:

Who Will Be Manchester City’s Next Signing*: 1/2 Sergio Aguero; 5/1 Marek Hamsik; 6/1 Samuel Eto’o; 6/1 Giuseppe Rossi; 6/1 Karim Benzema; 9/1 Didier Drogba; 9/1 Pato; 10/1 Neymar; 10/1 Hulk; 12/1 Romelu Lukaku; 16/1 Falcao; 16/1 David Villa; 100/1 Wayne Rooney
*Only these players count

Manchester City Top Goalscorer: 15/8 Mario Balotelli; 9/4 Edin Dzeko; 12/1 Emmanuel Adebayor; 16/1 Jo; 20/1 Roque Santa Cruz; 7/4 Any Other

Will any player score more than Tevez’s 20 Premier League goals from last season: 5/4 yes; 4/7 no

Manchester City Finishing Position: 8/13 1st – 2nd; 11/4 3rd; 4/1 4th; 4/1 5th – 10th; 33/1 11th – 17th; 1000/1 Relegated

GRAY DAY FOR LEEDS’ FANS?

WILLIAM HILL have slashed their odds for Simon Grayson, the Leeds boss, to be the next Villa manager after a sustained afternoon gamble from North Yorkshire based betting shop and online clients saw the odds collapse from 50/1 outsider to 5/2 favourite.
‘The source of the bets would not give the lie to suggestions that someone connected to Leeds may have had the nod that Grayson was a serious contender for Villa’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
WILLIAM HILL…NEXT PERMANENT VILLA BOSS…5/2 Grayson; 3/1 Alex McLeish; 5/1 Moyes; Hughes; 9 Coyle; Poyet. Others on request.

NEXT CHELSEA MANAGER/COACH….1/3 Hiddink; 5/2 Hughes; 11/2 Redknapp; 9 Villas-Boas; 10 Guardiola. Others on request.

NEXT CARDIFF BOSS….11/8 Mackay; 2 Hughton; Robins; 5 Shearer; 6 Holloway; 7 McInnes. Others on request.

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

Despite being at Wembley, Manchester United find themselves the biggest outsider for the Champions League Final for over a decade, with no other finalist in the past 10 years priced at more than 2/1. United are offered at 3/1 with Hills, but not even that price can tempt punters, with over 80% of bets placed on a Barcelona victory at 21/20. Hills are also offering over 100 in play markets and think that it could be the first time in history that in-play bets exceed pre-match wagers.

“Over the years Manchester United have caused us a fair amount of pain, but they will save us millions if they manage to beat Barcelona on Saturday night,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Hills are expecting a £10 million industry wide turnover making this the biggest game since the World Cup Final last year.

Lionel Messi is the 5/1 favourite to score the first goal of the match, while David Villa is 7/1. Wayne Rooney is 8/1 with Pedro and Hernandez both 9/1.

William Hill have a number of specials available for this weekend’s match and offer 25/1 that Patrice Evra will score and Manchester United lift the trophy (Happy Evra After) and 22/1 that Gerard Pique scores from outside the area (Pique That One Out).

Manchester United / Barcelona Odds:

90 Minutes: 21/20 Barcelona; 3/1 Manchester United; 21/10 Draw

To Win In Extra Time: 9/1 Barcelona; 16/1 Manchester United

To Win On Penalties: 11/1 Manchester United; 11/1 Barcelona

To Lift The Trophy: 1/2 Barcelona; 13/8 Manchester United

5/1 Match to be decided on penalties

Barcelona to Dominate Champions League:
5/1 To win Champions League this year and next
16/1 To win Champions League this year, next year AND the season after that

Match Winner Offers:
6/1 Rooney to score & Manchester United to win in 90 minutes
6/1 Match to be decided on penalties

Heavy Gamble On Bluebird To Become A Hammer

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

Dave Jones has been cut from 10/1 to 6/4 to be the new West Ham boss, by William Hill. He has been the subject of a massive gamble over the space of an hour and has pushed other contenders such as Chris Hughton and Sam Allardyce out to 10/3 and 4/1 respectively.

“Dave Jones has gone from relative outsider to frontrunner in the space of 20 minutes and the gamble would suggest that he is, as reported, the number one target to replace Avram Grant,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Next Permanent West Ham Manager (William Hill Odds): 6/4 Dave Jones; 10/3 Chris Hughton; 4/1 Sam Allardyce; 9/1 Alex McLeish; 14/1 Neil Warnock; 14/1 Martin O’Neill; 14/1 Paul Lambert; 14/1 Chris Coleman; 16/1 Kevin Keen; 16/1 Ian Holloway; 16/1 Malky MacKay; 20/1 BAR

WILL OLD FIRM KICK OFF AGAIN?

William Hill have opened a book on how many red cards will be flourished in the two remaining ‘Old Firm’ games this season – and make NONE a 6/4 chance, with FOUR OR MORE a 9/1 outsider. ‘Given the reaction to the fiery scenes during Wednesday’s match it is reasonable to expect that both sides will be conscious that they need to be on their best behavior in the remaining two matches between them this season’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Hills….Number of red cards in the final two old firm matches this season

06/4
113/8
24/1
37/1
4 or more9/1

*Extra time counts for this market.

**Any of Walter Smith, Ally McCoist or Neill Lennon to be sent from the dugout to the stands during the final two old firm matches this season: 9/2

KING KENNY 22/1 NOT TO GET A WIN FOR ANOTHER FIVE GAMES AT LEAST

KENNY DALGLISH has yet to lead Liverpool to victory and William Hill have opened a book on when that will finally happen – and make Liverpool Even money shots to win their next game against Fulham, and 22/1 NOT to win any of their next five.
Despite Liverpool having yet to win under Dalglish, he is 5/4 favourite to get the Liverpool job on a permanent basis with William Hill who also offer 9/2 Rijkaard; 11/2 Coyle; 7 Rangnick; 8 Villas-Boas; 10/1 Martin O’Neill. ‘Kenny has drifted from odds-on to odds-against and if Liverpool don;t start winning soon he may become an outsider in the betting to be next permanent boss’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

LIVERPOOL ARE 4/5 WITH HILLS TO FINISH HIGHER THAN EVERTON, WHO ARE 10/11 TO DO VICE VERSA.

Hills…Next Liverpool win
Wolves…22 January 2011……1/1
Fulham…26 January 2011……7/5
Stoke….02 February 2011……7/1
