You Bet: Asamoah Gyan Will Be The Best Of The Transfer Deadline Deals

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

Following the wranglings that took place during the final hours of the transfer window, William Hill have opened a book on which of the last minute signings will end the season with the most goals. Hills make Asamoah Gyan the 11/10 favourite ahead of 3/1 Franco Di Santo and 10/3 Eidur Gudjohnsen. Rodrigo Moreno and Aleksander Hleb are relative outsiders at 6/1 and 8/1 respectively.

Hills have also opened a match bet between Darren Bent and Gyan. Hills are offering 2/5 that Bent scores more than Gyan from now until the end of the season, while Gyan is priced at 7/4.

“At £13 million, Gyan has a lot to live up to, but compared to his rivals, we think that he could well deliver the goods, however, it seems unlikely that he will outscore Darren Bent, who has proven himself to be one of the most prolific scorers in the league in recent years,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Transfer Deadline Day Specials:

Score Most Goals: 11/10 Asamoah Gyan; 3/1 Franco Di Santo; 10/3 Eidur Gudjohnsen; 6/1 Rodrigo Moreno; 8/1 Aleksander Hleb

Bent/Gyan Match Bet: 2/5 Bent (-2); 7/4 Asamoah Gyan (+2)

HOW MANY TIMES WILL BAD BOY BELLAMY SEE RED?

WILLIAM HILL are betting on how many red cards Craig Bellamy will collect during his Championship loan at Cardiff this season – and make him 6/1 to be sent off on two or more occasions, while he is just 11/8 to score 20 or more league goals. ‘Bellamy is news wherever he goes and there is little doubt that he will be playing at a level below his capabilities, which could encourage opponents to target him for some tough tackling, which in turn might just stimulate an adverse reaction’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
BELLAMY is Evens to score (8/11 not to) against Doncaster if he starts the game, and a 20/1 to be sent off.

50m Final Set To Seal £1bn World Cup Gamble

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

£50 MILLION FINAL SET TO SEAL £1 BILLION RECORD WORLD CUP GAMBLE

DESPITE England’s absence from the latter stages of the tournament British football fans are set to help swell the betting turnover on the World Cup towards a record £1 billion, while £50million is expected to be staked on Sunday’s Final between Holland and hot favourites Spain.
‘After England crashed out, patriotic football fans had to transfer their affections elsewhere – and they seem to have done so by placing bets on their adopted second favourite country. With England gone, they no longer had automatic loyalty to one country and therefore have used a bet to enhance their enjoyment of matches. And the enormous coverage given to Paul the Psychic Octopus has also kept the tournament in punters’ sights, so we expect a record industry betting turnover for both the Final and the tournament with £1bn and £50m respectively staked’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
SPAIN are 4/7 favourites with William Hill to be crowned as World Champions – thus justifying Paul the Psychic Octopus’ predicition – with Holland the 6/4 outsiders.

**A William Hill Manchester betting shop client stands to collect £424,000 if David Villa, now 8/11 favourite to do so, ends up as tournament top scorer after placing a £30,000 double on Holland to win their Group at 4/7, with Villa at 8/1.

**A William Hill telephone betting client could collect £275,000 for a £50,000 bet on Spain to win the World Cup at 9/2.

**Another Hill’s shop punter in Essex placed a £250 treble on Rafa Nadal and Serena Williams to win their respective Wimbledon singles tournaments, running on to Holland – and will collect £30,000 if the Dutch oblige.

**PUNTERS who have backed every Paul the Psychic Octopus tip so far are £84 better off by staking £10 to win on each one – and over £1000 if they reinvested winnings from each selection on to the next one!

Dutch 11/8 Favourites

DUTCH 11/8 WORLD CUP FAVOURITES

HOLLAND are now 11/8 favourites to win the World Cup with William Hill who make Germany 2/1, with Spain 9/4 outsiders of the remaining three. ‘Amazingly enough, Spain who began the tournament as clear favourites, are now the outsiders of the three sides remaining and Holland, despite winning all of their games are still odds against despite being the only one of the three actually in the Final, because of a huge gamble on the Germans’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
THE BIGGEST BET STAKED ON HOLLAND TO WIN THE WORLD CUP IS £5000 AT 10/1 WITH WILLIAM HILL – PLACED BY A GERMAN TELEPHONE BETTING CLIENT!
**Hllls offer 17/20 that Holland will face Germany in the Final and the same price that they will play Spain. ‘We cannot split the sides in the other final’ said Sharpe.

DAVID VILLA is 8/11 favourite to end up as the World Cup’s top scorer with William Hill who also offer 3/1 Sneijder; 7/2 Klose; 16/1 Muller; 20/1 Forlan.

Hills make Holland 2/1 joint second favourites with Germany, and make Uruguay the 12/1 outsiders.’Punters have deserted Spain in the outright market recently and they are currently a very good winner for us, whereas a Germany victory would prove costly’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

ROONEY-MAYHEM IN BETTING SHOPS AS WORLD’S BIGGEST GAMBLE UNDER WAY

ROONEY-MANIA is helping drive the biggest gamble of all time as punters bet over £1 billion on the outcome of the World Cup, say bookmakers William Hill, who have already taken bets of £60,000; $85,000; £110,000 and £200,000 on the tournament and now anticipate a £25m gamble on England’s opening match against USA.
‘No event has ever produced a betting turnover of £1 billion before – but that is going to happen at this World Cup – we have already taken mega-bets of up to £200,000, with that amount staked on an accumulator bet, with £110,000 bet on France and £20,000 on Germany, to win the tournament’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’England fans have gone Rooney-crazy with their bets, and we’re in trouble if he scores a hat trick against the USA’

And England have not been ignored by the high rollers, with two bets of £6500 placed on them at odds of 8/1. But nor have England’s first opponents USA, on whom one punter has staked £5000 at 80/1 to win the tournament.

ENGLAND are 4/9 favourites to get off to a winning start against USA with William Hill who make them 4/9 favourites to win the game for which the USA are 13/2 outsiders with the draw at 16/5.

WAYNE ROONEY is 5/1 to be sent off during the tournament and 25/1 to do so against USA. He is 10/3 to score the opening goal of the game; 10/3 to score the last; 4/5 to score at any stage of the game; 7/2 to score 2 or more; 20/1 to score a hat trick.
‘We have had to create a whole range of Rooney special bets to cope with the demand from punters’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WILLIAM HILL ROONEY SPECIALS…..6/4 TO BE SUBSTITUTED V USA; 2/1 To be yellow carded; 7/2 to score in both halves;4/1 to score with a header; 5/1 to hit the woodwork; 6/1 to score from outside the penalty box; 7/1 to win a penalty.

William Hill are also offering a 14/1 treble for patriotic punters this weekend. For it to come in England need to beat Australia in the Rugby Union, followed by beating USA in the World Cup and finally an English driver winning the GP on Sunday.

Not Everyone Fancies England For World Cup

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

YOU BET NOT ALL BRITS FANCY ENGLAND FOR WORLD CUP!

ALMOST one of every five bets being placed on the World Cup with William Hill by punters in English betting shops is for England to win the tournament – but in Wales it is only one in every nine; in Northern Ireland one in every twelve – and in Scotland just one in every twenty.
‘It is certainly the case that there are regional differences in the support for England to win the World Cup, which is to be expected – but taking the betting as a whole, England are definitely the one team we’d rather see not win the World Cup,’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
In English betting shops Hills only Spain rival the support for England; in Wales the most popular selection is Brazil (21%), closely followed by Spain, with England 3rd; in Northern Ireland punters are opting for Argentina (24%), Spain, Brazil and Holland in front of England; and in Scotland, Brazil (26%) take top billing ahead of Argentina, Spain, and Holland with England 5th.
France are currently the worst possible result for Hills, who have taken one bet of £110,000 on Les Bleus at odds of 20/1, but England are a close second, and Hills anticipate that they will regain the lead before the first match kicks off – ‘The single France mega-bet has distorted our financial liability for France, as there are very few other big bets for them, but we are continually taking substantial bets for England and victory for Capello’s team will prove hideously expensive for us’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Bizarrely, North Korea are Hill’s third worst result – ‘We have taken scores of small bets of up to £80 for the 2000/1 outsiders’ – with Germany, the subject of a £60,000 bet with Hills at 14/1 on Thursday, now the 4th worst outcome.
At the other end of the scale, Hills would welcome unlikely World Cup triumphs for New Zealand, Honduras, Slovakia or Slovenia.

LATEST WILLIAM HILL WORLD CUP ODDS…4/1 Spain; 9/2 Brazil; 13/2 Argentina; 8/1 England; 9/1 Holland; 14/1 Germany; 16/1 Italy; 20/1 France; 25/1 Portugal; 50/1 Ivory Coast; 66/1 Serbia.
**Hills cut Holland from 10/1 to 9/1 on Thursday after continued support.

Who Will Succeed Joan Laporta As President Of Barcelona ?

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

Sandro Rosell is williamhill.com’s 1-10 favourite to win this weekend’s Barcelona presidential elections.

The 46 year-old Catalan business man has topped all the media polls, and now looks almost certain to succeed the current president – Joan Laporta.

Agusti Benedito, who won rave reviews for his performance in the first presidential debate, is the 10-1 second favourite for the post, while Jaume Ferrer and Marc Ingla are the 12-1 outsiders for the Barcelona job.

“Sandro Rosell looks almost certain to replace Joan Laporta as president of Barcelona,” said williamhill.com spokesman Tony Kenny “Augusti Benedito has made huge strides over the last few weeks, but it would be a huge shock if Rosell didn’t win the presidential race.”

Next Barcelona President: (williamhill.com) 1-10 Sandro Rosell, 10-1 Agusti Benedito, 12-1 Jaume Ferrer, 12-1 Marc Ingla – Others on request
