WILL UNITED BOUNCE BACK IN PREM?

WILLIAM HILL make Manchester United 8/11 to bounce back from FA Cup defeat by beating Newcastle in their Tuesday night Premier League fixture. The home side are 4/1, with the draw 5/2 and Hills now make Man U 6/5 chances to clock up 82 points or more this season – and 11/4 to win the title by ten or more points. ‘This match is probably the last hope their title challengers have of seeing United falter as the title winning post apoproaches’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

MAN UTD TOTAL POINTS: 9/4… 78 or less, 7/4.. 79-81, 6/5… 82 or more

Man Utd Winning Margin: 5/1……. 1 to 3, 9/4… 4 to 6, 9/4… 7 to 9, 11/4 ….10 or more, 50/1 Goal Difference, 9/2 Not win it.

Premiership Outright: 1/8 Man U; 8/1 Arsenal; 9/1 Chelsea; 150/1 Man City

WENGER ON SHAKY GROUND?

WILLIAM HILL are offering 11/4 that Arsene Wenger will fail to shake hands with his opposing manager in any of Arsenal’s remaining matches this season after he was involved in another end of game spat with Kenny Dalglish. ‘Mr Wenger’s managerial fan club has diminished somewhat this season after a couple of petulant end of match encounters and with the pressure increasing on him as Arsenal yet again look like failing to win a trophy, he might well yet snub another boss’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. Hills now offer 6/1 that Wenger will no longer be Arsenal manager on the first day of next season, and 1/12 that he will still be there.
MEANWHILE, HILLS OFFER 25/1 ABOUT ARSENAL WINNING THEIR REMAINING SIX GAMES – 40/1 THAT THEY FAIL TO WIN ANY OF THEM

CARLO FAVOURITE TO BE NEXT BOSS TO GO

WILLIAM HILL are betting on who will be the next of the current Premier League managers to leave his club – whenever that happens – and make Carlo Ancelotti 2/1 favourite, with Steve Kean 3/1 second favourite, ahead of Avram Grant at 10/3. ‘Carlo’s long term future at Chelsea looks far from secure, but relegation for Blackburn would almost certainly result in Steve Kean’s departure, while Avram Grant has been leading a charmed life, having been favourite on seven separate occasions to be the next boss to go’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Bookies Relief After Treble Trouncing But Still Fear Double Trouble!

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

Bookies were celebrating Manchester United’s defeat to Manchester City. William Hill had seen the odds of United winning the treble backed in from over 100/1 to 6/1 and were facing a seven figure payout had they done it. 11 years ago, Hills had their worst ever football payout when United bagged the treble, but can sleep easily now that they are out of this year’s FA Cup. United are 3/1 to win the double
City are now the 2/5 favourites to win the tournament.
“As the season progressed, United to win the treble was backed in from 100/1 to 6/1 under the weight of almost £100,000 worth of bets,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “We will not be waking up in the middle of the night worrying about the treble, but the double is still a danger.”
Following Paul Scholes’ red card, Hills are offering 3/1 that a player is dismissed during the game between Bolton and Stoke.

…………….PREMIER LEAGUE……………….

Blackpool inched closer to relegation following defeat to rivals Wigan and are now 3/10 (from 4/7) to go down. West Ham suffered last minute heartache against Aston Villa and are the 2/5 second favourites for relegation. Wigan and Wolves also share 5/6 to get relegated. At the other end of the table, despite not playing in the league, Manchester United are still 1/6 to win the league, while Arsenal are 11/2 and Chelsea 12/1.

“Following their twelfth defeat in sixteen games, Blackpool’s position looks perilous and they are now our favourites for the drop: a position they have not held since pre-season,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Premier League Outright: 1/6 Manchester United; 11/2 arsenal; 12/1 Chelsea; 150/1 Manchester City
