Bad Kompany Costs Hills Dear

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

Late winner is six figure nightmare for bookies:
NOW UNITED ODDS-ON TO OUTDO CITY IN PREM

WILLIAM HILL have cut Man U from 8/15 to 1/2 to finish above Man City in the Premier League this season. City are 1/3 with Hills to end the season with one of the major trophies while United are 4/5 to do likewise – City are 500/1 to win all four major trophies, United 250/1.

But Hills – who were offering United at up to 18/1 in-play to come back from two behind to win – were left cursing the late winner gifted to United – ‘With seconds to go we were congratulating ourselves on a six figure winning draw – instead, seconds later we were looking at a six figure loser. So, as far as we are concerned it was a case of very bad Kompany costing us dear’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’We took a total of £960 for United at 18/1, including one of £100, then one online punter from Scotland was confident enough to stake £1000 on the comeback at 16/1, and another had £500.’

UNITED KEEPER De Gea was criticised for his part in City’s second goal, and Hills have opened a book on how many Premier League goals he will start this season, offering:

Hills… How many Premier League matches will De Gea start for Man Utd 2011/12?
29 or less…..6/4
30 to 32……4/1
33 or more…10/11

Hills…..Who will finish higher? Man Utd 1/2 Man City 6/4

Hills… How many Premier League matches will De Gea start for Man Utd 2011/12?

Charles N’zogbia: You Bet A Good Bit Of Business By Villa

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

Aston Villa have confirmed the signing of Charles N’Zogbia from Wigan and William Hill think he will have a better season than the player he was brought in to replace, Stewart Downing. Hills go 8/11 that N’Zogbia starts more Premier League games than Downing, while Downing is 11/8 to start more than the Frenchman.

Hills also go 4/7 about N’Zogbia scoring more goals than Downing, who is 8/5.

“If reports are to be believed, Villa have made a profit of around £10 million by selling Downing and bringing in N’Zogbia and it appears that the new Clarets wide man may well be utilised more this season than the man that he has replaced,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Hills are offering a number of next club specials on some of the higher profile players being talked about in this summer’s transfer window. Real Madrid are the 4/6 favourites to be the next club to capture Neymar’s signature, while Arsenal are 1/3 to be Juan Mata’s next club. There has been plenty of speculation recently about Carlos Tevez and Hills offer 13/8 that Internazionale are his next club, while Juventus are 7/2.

Premier League Looks Set To Strike It Lucky

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

With a host of top quality strikers set to be plying their trade in the Premier League next season, William Hill think that the 2011/12 could be yet another record breaking season, offering 4/5 that last season’s total of 1063 goals is broken this year. With a number of the ‘top six’ sides recruiting heavily over the summer break, Hills are offering 5/6 that the top six score more than the 334 that they mustered last season.

Manchester United lead the scoring charts last season and 9/4 is offered for them to do so once again, while Chelsea are the 11/4 second favourites. Hills also offer 7/4 that over 30 goals are scored on the opening weekend of the season.

“Last season was a record breaker with more goals scored than any previous year in Premier League history and with a number of top strikers set to line up for their sides this season, the goals look set to flow,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Despite suffering a somewhat rocky start to his Chelsea career, Hills are backing Fernando Torres to do the business this season and make him the 13/8 favourite to be Chelsea’s top marksman this season. Didier Drogba is offered at 11/4 and Frank Lampard is 9/2.

Total goals scored by the “top six” in 2011/2012*: 10/11 under 334; 33/1 exactly 334; 5/6 over 334
*Arsenal; Chelsea; Liverpool; Man City; Man Utd; Tottenham

Total Premier League goals in 2011/2012: 10/11 under 1063; 100/1 exactly 1063; 4/5 over 1063

Total opening weekend goals in the Premier League in 2011/12: 13/8 under 26; 13/8 26-29; 7/4 30 or more

Highest scoring Premier League Side: 9/4 Manchester United; 11/4 Chelsea; 3/1 Arsenal; 6/1 Manchester City; 11/1 Liverpool; 14/1 Tottenham; 66/1 Everton; 66/1 Aston Villa; 80/1 Bolton; 80/1 Sunderland; 80/1 Newcastle; 100/1 Stoke; 100/1 Fulham; 125/1 West Brom; 125/1 Blackburn; 150/1 Wigan; 200/1 QPR; 200/1 Wolves; 250/1 Norwich; 250/1 Swansea

Fer-nando’s No Chicken When It Comes To Scoring…want Away Players Specials

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

Andre Villas Boas confirmed that he is unconcerned about the pre-season form of Fernando Torres and William Hill think that his assurances are founded, offering 2/1 that he manages between 16 and 20 goals this season. He is 7/4 to score 21 to 25 goals. Hills also think that Torres has the full support of his manager and he is 9/4 to start 26-30 Premier League games this season.

“It would be fair to say that Torres endured a rocky patch at the start of his Chelsea career, but the odds suggest that Villas Boas will have faith in him and in return, the goals will flow,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Torres Premier League Starts: 10/3 Under 10; 7/1 11-15; 6/1 16-20; 5/2 21-25; 9/4 26-30; 9/2 Over 30

Torres Premier League Goals: 12/1 Under 6;8/1 6-10; 4/1 11-15; 2/1 16-20; 7/4 21-25; 5/1 Over 25

Should I Stay Or Should I Go Now…Want Away Players On The Move?

William Hill are offering a market on whether the all four of the Premier League’s high profile want away players leave their clubs by the end of the Summer transfer window. Hills go 9/2 about all four of Tevez, Nasri, Fabregas and Modric having left their clubs by the 31st August 2011 .

Hills are also offering 6/4 that Cesc Fabregas is the first of the four to go, while Carlos Tevez is 13/8 to do so. It would appear that Arsenal have more hope of keeping Nasri than Fabregas and he is offered at 10/3 to be the first of the four to go, while Modric is 6/1.

“These four players have all shown their desire to move to pastures new and itcertainly looks like a possibility that all four will be gone by the time the transfer window slams shut at the end of August,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Who will go first: 6/4 Fabregas; 13/8 Tevez; 10/3 Nasri; 6/1 Modric

All four to have changed clubs by the end of the transfer window (August 31st 2011): 9/2 yes; 1/8 no

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

Downing Or Young – Who’ Ll Make More Impact ?

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

DOWNING OR YOUNG – WHO’LL MAKE MOST IMPACT AT NEW CLUB?

WILLIAM HILL have opened a book asking whether Stewart Downing or Ashley Young will score the most Premier League goals and make the most Premier League starts next season for their new clubs. Hills make Young odds on to score more goals for Man U than Downing does for Liverpool, but Downing is odds-on to make more starts for Liverpool than Young will make for United. ‘These are two high profile players who will be under pressure to perform to an elevated level to justify their transfer fees’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
HILLS ARE BETTING ON WHICH OF THE TWO WILL LEAVE HIS NEW CLUB FIRST – AND MAKE DOWNING 8/11 TO GO BEFORE YOUNG, WHO IS EVEN MONEY TO DO VICE VERSA.
And with Liverpool steadily bringing more English players into their squad, Hills have opened a book on how many members of their first Premier League game starting line-up v Sunderland will be Englishmen – making 4-5 their 6/5 favourite.

Premier League goals match bet:

Stewart Downing 7/4
Tie 5/1
Ashley Young 4/6

Most Premier League starts:

Stewart Downing 10/11
Tie 7/1
Ashley Young 11/10

How Many English Players Will Start For Liverpool vs Sunderland:
3 or less 11/4
4-5 6/5
6-8 7/4
9-11 7/1

Michael’s G-owen Nowhere…125/1 For 2011/12 Golden Boot

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

Following the news that Michael Owen has put pen to paper on a new one year deal at Manchester United, William Hill are offering 7/4 that he scores less than two Premier League goals and 6/4 that he bags four or more. He is 125/1 to get next season’s golden boot and 20/1 to not play a single minute of Premier League football. He is 5/2 to start one or no Premier League games next season, while he is 9/4 to start six or more.

“In one of the more surprising football stories of the last few days, Owen has signed for another year at United, but Fergie obviously has a role for him and it will be interesting to see how he is utilised by United,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Michael Owen is 7/1 to make an appearance for England in a Euro 2012 Qualifier or Finals match.

Owen’s signature may be the clearest indication yet that Dimitar Berbatov will be heading for the exit and William Hill are now offering odds on where the mercurial Bulgarian will be plying his trade on the first game of next season. He is 11/4 to still be at Manchester United and 7/2 to be playing in the Bundesliga. He is 4/1 to be at Newcastle next season and the same price to be playing in Serie A. He is 25/1 to make the short trip to Eastlands to join United’s arch rivals.
