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

Andy Carroll suffered another tough day at the office and William Hill are offering 7/4 that he fails to score in the next four games, although he is 6/4 to score against Manchester City in the Carling Cup. Having seemed like an almost certainty to be part of the England squad for Euro 2012, Hills are now offering 5/6 that Carroll fails to make the cut. Kenny Dalglish is also suffering at the moment as Liverpool are suffering a tough time of it and Hills make him 6/4 to no longer be boss on the first day of next season.

“There is no doubt that Liverpool are struggling at the moment and Dalglish is 25/1 to be the next Premier League manager to go and he is just 6/4 to have left the position by the start of next season,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Bolton Wanderers surprised Liverpool but remain embroiled in a relegation battle and William Hill make the8/11 to go down, with Wigan the 2/9 favourites and Blackburn 4/5. Hills also offer 11/4 that all three of the troubled North-West sides (Bolton, Blackburn and Wigan) are relegated together.

William Hill odds:

Kenny Dalglish to be Liverpool boss on 1st day of next season: 1/2 yes; 6/4 no

Andy Carroll to make England’s Euro 2012 squad: 5/6 yes; 5/6 no

Jermaine Defoe is reportedly the subject of some interest on Merseyside and William Hill make him 6/1 to join Liverpool this January, although he is 1/4 to remain at Spurs. Across North London, Arsene Wenger is under increasing pressure to bring success to the Emirates, but despite this, he is 66/1 to be the next Premier League manager to lose his job. Hills are offering 5/2, however that Wenger is no longer Arsenal manager come the first day of next season. Robin van Persie contract expires in 2013 but despite this, Hills do not think that Arsenal will cash in on their prize asset just yet. He is 2/5 to still be an Arsenal player on the first day of the 2012/13 Premier League season.

“Arsenal have not looked their usual selves this year but we think that both van Persie and Wenger will stay put in order to help their push for Europe in the second half of the season,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Arsene Wenger’s conqueror from Sunday, Brendan Rodgers, is 5/1 second favourite to be voted LMA manager of the year behind 5/2 favourite Roberto Mancini. Sir Alex Ferguson and Paul Lambert are the 13/2 joint third favourites.

Gary Cahill’s long protracted move to Chelsea, was finally completed on Monday and William Hill make him 11/10 to start England’s first Euro 2012 match. He is 20/1 to start the first goal of Chelsea’s match against Norwich this weekend and 7/1 to score anytime.

Blackburn were unable to build on their victory at Old Trafford and were promptly defeated at home by Stoke. William Hill make Steve Kean’s men 8/13 to go down with Bolton 8/15 favourites and Wigan 4/7 while they are 11/4 to finish bottom.

Frank Lampard salvaged a victory for Chelsea and Hills make them 9/4 second favourites to win the Premier League without the two Manchester sides. The three points against Wolves has eased some of the pressure on manager, Andre Villas-Boas and Hills make him odds on, at 8/13, to still be at Chelsea on the first day of next season. While AVB was met with cheers, two of his counterparts, Steve Kean and Alex McLeish, were met with jeers and Hills make them 8/13 (Kean) and Even money (McLeish) to have left their positions before the start of the 2012/13 season. Kean is 10/11 favourite to be the second Premier League manager to leave his job.

“Just as Andre Villas-Boas looks doomed, he manages to claw his way back from the brink and our odds hint that he may well be there come next season,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “Unfortunately, we may not be able to say the same about Steve Kean and Alex McLeish.”

Relegation: 8/15 Bolton; 4/7 Wigan; 8/13 Blackburn; 7/4 Wolves; 9/4 QPR; 3/1 Swansea; 11/2 Norwich; 14/1 BAR

There’s Only One Kean-go

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

Bolton Wanderers secured a vital victory which leaves Blackburn rooted to the bottom of the Premier League at Christmas. Traditionally that means they will get relegated and William Hill agree, offering 4/9 that they go down. Bolton are 5/6 with Hills also offering Wigan at 8/15 and Wolves 7/4. Steve Kean is now under immeasurable pressure and Hills make him 1/4 to be the next manager to lose his job while Owen Coyle eased some of the pressure on him and he is 10/3 to be the next to go.

Hills are now offering odds on when Kean will actually depart Blackburn and make him 5/4 to have gone before Boxing Day and 9/1 to leave in the immediate aftermath of the Liverpool game that day (before the 31st). He is 8/13 to still be in charge when Blackburn take on Stoke on the 2nd of January.

“Steve Kean appears to be on borrowed time and there is only so long that the Venkys family can turn a deaf ear of the protestations of the Rovers fans,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Hills Premier League Relegation: 4/9 Blackburn; 8/15 Wigan; 5/6 Bolton; 7/4 Wolves; 5/2 Swansea; 7/2 QPR; 5/1 Norwich; 6/1 Sunderland; 11/1 BAR

To go first: 1/4 Kean; 11/4 Coyle

When will Kean leave Blackburn: 5/4 before December 26th; 9/1 After Liverpool (26th) and before Utd (31st); 12/1 After Manchester United (31st) and before Stoke (2nd Jan); 8/13 Still in charge for Stoke game (2nd)

Spurs/chelsea…liverpool Latest…kean-go

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

The bookies can barely split Spurs and Chelsea as they go head to head in Thursday night’s big Premier League match, with the home side slight favourites at 6/4. Chelsea are 17/10 with the draw 12/5.

Last week against Manchester City, Frank Lampard came off the bench to bag the winner and Hills are offering 4/1 that any substitute scores a goal. Both Adebayor and Drogba are in fine form at the moment and Hills offer 5/2 that Adebayor scores more than Drogba, while the same price is available for Drogba to outscore his Tottenham counterpart. Both sides have settled into a relatively rich vein of form and Hills go 11/8 about the pair finishing in the top four.

Match Betting: 6/4 Tottenham; 17/10 Chelsea; 12/5 Draw

Adebayor/Drogba Match Bet: 5/2 Adebayor; 5/2 Drogba; 4/5 Tie

Any substitute to score a goal: 4/1

YOU BET SUAREZ ABSENCE TO CARROLL’S BENEFIT

William Hill have pushed Liverpool out to 80/1 from 66/1 to win the title following Luis Suarez’s lengthy ban. They are 5/1 to win the league without the presence of the Manchester sides and 6/4 to finish in the top four. While the lengthening odds suggest that Liverpool may well miss Suarez up front, one man who is sure to benefit is Andy Carroll with Hills shortening his odds of outscoring former Liverpool striker, Fernando Torres, from 11/10 to 4/6.

“Liverpool will certainly miss Suarez’s trickery and more importantly his goals, but we think that Andy Carroll will step up to the plate and bag some goals in the Uruguayan’s absence,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Carroll/Torres Match Bet: 4/6 Carroll; 11/10 Torres

STEVE KEAN LATEST

Steve Kean’s tenure at Blackburn looks perilous and he is 5/4 to be out of a job before his side take on Liverpool on Boxing Day. Steve Kean is 1/4 to be the next manager to lose his job – with Owen Coyle drifting out to 10/3.

2nd Premier League Manager to Leave: 1/4 Steve Kean; 10/3 Owen Coyle; 7/1 Mick McCarthy; 8/1 Andre Villas-Boas; 8/1 Alex McLeish; 16/1 Roberto Martinez; 16/1 Martin Jol; 25/1 Harry Redknapp; 25/1 David Moyes; 25/1 Roy Hodgson; 33/1 BAR

Which Manager Will go first: 1/4 Steve Kean; 11/4 Owen Coyle

Coyle/Kean Gone By New Year: 8/13 None; 6/5 one; 20/1 both

When will Steve Kean leave Blackburn:
8/13 Still in charge after Stoke (02/01/12)
5/4 Before Liverpool (26/12/11)
9/1 After Liverpool (26/12/11) before Manchester United (31/12/11)
12/1 After Manchester United (31/12/11) before Stoke (02/01/12)
