Blackpool Hit By Hammer Blow…irons Odds On To Stay Up

West Ham won the ‘Richest Game In English Football’ and earned themselves a place at the top table once again and William Hill now make The Hammers 8/11 to survive in the Premier League next season (Evens to go down). There always has to be one unlucky side in the Playoffs and Blackpool were that side on Saturday. Their fans should take heart however, as they are 5/1 to go up next season and 16/1 to win the league.

“West Ham are back where they feel they belong and it looks like their stay will be more than one season,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Blackpool 2012/13 Season: 16/1 Win the Championship;

West Ham 2012/13 season: 8/11 stay up; 1/1 relegated; 2000/1 win the League

Championship outright: 6/1 Leicester City; 8/1 Bolton Wanderers; 8/1 Wolves; 10/1 Birmingham; 11/1 Cardiff; 14/1 Brighton; 14/1 Leeds; 16/1 Blackburn; 16/1 Blackpool; 20/1 BAR

Hodgson’s Hero: Fit Again Bent 4/1 To Make Euros…hill’s Predict Fantastic Prem Finale

HODGSON’S HERO: FIT AGAIN BENT 4/1 TO MAKE EUROS…HILL’S PREDICT FANTASTIC PREM FINALE

Darren Bent has been declared fit for the Euros and William Hill make the Villa man 4/1 to make Roy Hodgson’s 23 man squad (1/7 not to).

“In his pomp, Darren Bent is one of the best natural finishers in world football, although whether Hodgson will risk taking a player who has barely turned out for his club in 2012 remains to be seen,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Bent is 25/1 to secure the Euros Golden Boot, with Wayne Rooney at the same price and Danny Welbeck, Daniel Sturridge and Steven Gerrard at 33/1.

EVERYTHING UP FOR GRABS ON CLOSEST LAST DAY EVER

With the title, top four and relegation all to be decided on the final day of the season, William Hill have opened a market on which teams will fill the all important spots in the table. They offer 5/4 that City win the League, Arsenal grab the last definite Champions League spot (in third), and Bolton are the unlucky side who are relegated.

“This Premier League season has been nip and tuck from day one and it seems only fitting that there should be so much up for grabs on the final day,” said Crilly.

Will Darren Bent make the England Euros Squad: 4/1 yes; 1/7 no

To win the Premier League, Finish Third and be Relegated:

5/4 Man City; Arsenal; Bolton
10/3 Man City Tottenham; Bolton
7/2 Man City; Arsenal; QPR
8/1 Man City; Tottenham; QPR
9/1 Man Utd; Arsenal; Bolton
18/1 Man Utd; Tottenham; Bolton;
50/1 Man City; Newcastle; Bolton
100/1 Man City; Newcastle; QPR
200/1 Man Utd; Newcastle; Bolton

Betting On Barton Ban

HOW LONG WILL BARTON BAN BE?

WILLIAM HILL have opened a book on the length of Joey Barton’s ban – and make him 5/6 to serve over 7.5 games, and 5/6 under 7.5 games. Barton is 4/6 NOT to be at QPR on day one of next season, 11/10 still to be there. ‘Barton has entered uncharted waters with his behaviour and his ban could set new records’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

MANCHESTER CITY are 11/8 favourites with Hills to win the Premier League title again next season – and quote them at 200/1 to win the Quadruple.

TO WIN NEXT SEASON’S PREM TITLE….11/8 Man C; 11/4 Man U; 4/1 Chelsea; 6/1 Arsenal; 25/1 Spurs; 33/1 Liverpool; 125/1 Newcastle. Others on request.

BOLTON are 10/1 to win the Championship; 5/2 to be promoted, 20/1 to go down again next season.

What Now For Blackburn? Relegation More Likely Than Winning Championship

Blackburn suffered relegation at the hands of Wigan and William Hill make Rovers 10/1 to go down to League one next season. They are 16/1 to win the league and 4/1 to win promotion by any means. Relegation often means that a number of star players could be released to balance the books and Hills are odds on about Yakubu (5/6), Paul Robinson (1/2) and David Dunn (8/13) all having left the club by the start of next season.

“Martin Olsson and Junior Hoilett look as though they are already planning their exit strategies and they may just be the start of the exodus with many big names tipped to leave this summer,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Steve Kean is 1/5 to no longer be in charge of Blackburn on the first day of next season (10/3 that he is still there).

The relegation dogfight now goes down to the final day with Bolton needing a win at the Britannia Stadium and counting on Manchester City beating QPR. The Wanderers are 4/11 to go down, with QPR 2/1.

Blackburn next season:

Championship Outright – 16/1
Relegation: 10/1
Promotion – 4/1

Steve Kean at Rovers first day of next season: 1/5 no; 10/3 yes

Will players still be at Blackburn on the first day of next season:

YAK – YES 5/6 NO 5/6
ROBINSON – YES 6/4 NO 1/2
DUNN – YES 6/5 NO 8/13
DANN – YES 8/13 NO 6/5

Premier League Relegation:
4/11 Bolton; 2/1 QPR

How Long Will Manchester Dominate For Now?

After two 2-0 victories for the two Manchester sides, the advantage stays on Manchester City and William Hill make them 1/9 to lift the Premier League trophy while Manchester United are 5/1. Following the dominance of both sides this season, Hills are now betting on when the League is won by anyone but the blues or reds from Manchester. Next season is the 7/4 favourite although it is 2/1 for the trophy to not be lifted by Manchester until 2015/16 or later.

“Despite the two sides being level on points, the fate of the Premier League trophy rests firmly with City and only an unlikely defeat to QPR next weekend will prevent them from lifting their first Premier League title,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

When will a non Manchester side win the Premier League: 7/4 2012/13; 11/4 2013/14; 9/2 2014/15; 2/1 2015/16 or later

Premier League Outright: 1/9 Manchester City; 5/1 Manchester United

You Bet Premier League Going Down To The Wire At Both Ends Of The Table

QPR secured a fantastic last minute win against Stoke, which moved them two points clear of Bolton with just one game to go. William Hill make the Rs 9/4 to go down with Bolton now favourites, along with 1/150 Blackburn, at 1/4 to be relegated. Hills are offering 10/1 that any side are relegated on Goal Difference.

Arsenal were let off the hook after drawing with Norwich on Saturday as both Newcastle and Tottenham failed to win and the Gunners are in pole position to finish in the top four at 1/16 with Spurs 1/6, Newcastle 4/1 and Chelsea 7/1.

“Another intriguing day in the Premier League has seen the battles at both ends of the table go down to the wire,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Odds:

Relegation outright: 1/150 Blackburn; 1/4 Bolton; 9/4 QPR; 33/1 Wigan

To stay up: 1/200 Wigan; 1/3 QPR; 11/4 Bolton; 20/1 Blackburn

Top four finish: 1/16 Arsenal; 1/6Tottenham; 4/1 Newcastle; 7/1 Chelsea

Any side to be relegated on goal difference 10/1
