Tevez 5/2 To Quit City In January

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

TEVEZ 5/2 TO QUIT CITY IN JANUARY

CARLOS TEVEZ is 5/2 with William Hill to leave Manchester City during the January transfer window, and 2/7 still to be there when the window closes. They also quote him at Even money still to be a City player on the first day of next season.
And with doubts over Tevez’ City future raging, Hills have lengthened his odds of becoming this season’s Premier League top goalscorer from 7/2 to 9/2.
‘Tevez has already moved around consistently during his time in the Premier League so it cannot be that much of a surprise that he should have itchy feet again, but for anyone fancying him to be top scorer we have enhanced his price to take account of the possibility that he will leave City’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WILLIAM HILL…

Carlos Tevez…..Club 1st day next season…. Settled by registration held (i.e. loan deals don’t count)

Man City……..1/1
South American club……5/2

We are offering odds of 2601/1 for him to get them all right ‘ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’Mr Cameron has a bit of previous punting form, too – tipping a couple of horses when he was on the BBC Radio 4 Today programme recently.Perhaps he has plans to become a professional gambler when he ceases to be PM – although we make him a 5/2 chance still to be PM when the 2018 World Cup finals kick off.’
(Please note – odds subject to amendment if one or more games poostponed.)

Hills make Ancelotti 5/4 to be gone before next season gets underway, 4/7 still to be boss at that point – and Chelsea are 12/1 with Hills to fail to win any of their next four Prem matches and 7/1 to finish outside of the top four. ‘All of a sudden what looked to be the merest of blips is beginning to turn into a fully fledged crisis at the Bridge’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

The Fluctuating Fortunes Of England’s World Cup Bid

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

Monday evening’s Panorama exposé saw the odds of England hosting the World Cup pushed out to 3/1 with William Hill however, following a number of three figure bets, the odds have since been cut to 11/4. Not since England first threw their name into the hat have their odds been as long.

England initially expressed their interest in hosting the 2018 World Cup back in November 2005 and they were offered at 8/1. They then started to attract some tentative bets totalling around £3000, by the time England officially announced they would be entering the race, they were 4/1 shots. In February 2007 England became odds on favourites (4/6) for the first time but by March the English bid was back out to 6/4. The English odds hovered around Evens until November 2009 when Dave Richards handed in his resignation as Chairman of the Premier League and the odds were eased out to 11/4, however the announcement of the potential English stadia saw the odds slashed to 7/4.

Since the bid was handed over by David Beckham in January of this year, England have remained favourites at one point as short as 8/11, however when the Times uncovered the FIFA cash for votes scandal Russia’s bid overtook them for the first time.

“England’s odds have fluctuated massively over the course of the last five years but as it stands England are still our biggest loss but we would be more than happy to pay out on football coming home. In the long run, a domestic World Cup would see turnover break all World Cup betting records,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

How The Odds Have Changed:

5th November 2005 – Initial interest – 8/1
20th January 2007 – Official Bid Announcement – 4/1
12th February 2007 – First Odds-On – 4/6
24th November 2009 – Dave Richards resigns as Chairman of the Premier League – 11/4
7th January 2010 – Potential English Stadia announced – 7/4
12th May 2010 – David Beckham hands over Bid book – 11/10
12th June2010 – Back to odds on – 5/6
17th October 2010 – Times Exposé – 11/8
29th November 2010 – Panorama – 3/1

William Hill World Cup Odds:

2018 Bid: 4/6 Russia; 11/4 Portugal & Spain; 11/4 England; 20/1 Belgium & Holland

25/1 England Host and Win the World Cup in 2018

£2 Punter Wins Big On Hammers Hammering United

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

Although plenty of people would have been expecting Arsenal to triumph against Wigan tonight, not many people were expecting West Ham to win and even fewer predicted 4-0 – with the biggest bet placed being £2 at William Hill, with odds of 125/1. Hills are offering 5/2 that tonight’s victors meet each other in the final with Arsenal the 8/11 favourites to win the tournament and West Ham 9/2.

“Upton Park was bouncing tonight, not least in the seat that housed the loyal Hammer who placed £2 at 125/1 on 4-0. There was not many people who risked even £1 on such an unlikely outcome,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Ipswich are the only non-Premier League side left but even that may not be able to save Roy Keane’s job should they be humiliated tomorrow against West Brom. Hills are offering 4/1 that Keano leaves his job between the end of the West Brom game and the start of the Swansea game.

William Hill Carling Cup Odds:

Outright: 8/11 Arsenal; 9/2 West Ham; 13/2 Aston Villa; 9/1 West Brom; 9/1 Birmingham; 20/1 Ipswich

5/2 West Ham/Arsenal Final

4/1 Roy Keane leaves his job between the end of the West Brom game and the start of the Swansea game

Double Hat-trick 33/1 As Dimmi Bags Landmark Goals…tractor Boys Keane To ‘swich Manager

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

Double Hat-Trick 33/1 As Dimmi Bags Landmark Goals

Dimitar Berbatov joined a select group of strikers who have bagged five goals in just one Premier League game and William Hill are offering 14/1 that five or more are scored by any player this season. For any player to bag a double hat-trick or more this season is 33/1 with Hills. Berbatov is now the 7/2 joint favourite with Carlos Tevez to be the Premier League’s leading scorer.

“Berbatov was absolutely outstanding on Saturday and his achievement came just a year and three days after Jermaine Defoe scored five against Wigan. With the ever increasing importance being placed on goal difference, it could well be sooner rather than later that we see a double hat-trick,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Tractor Boys Keane To ‘Swich Manager

Roy Keane is facing a difficult task winning friends at Ipswich after his side slumped to a disappointing derby defeat. William Hill are now offering 1/7 that he has left his position by the start of next season. The Tractor Boys are facing two difficult tasks this week in the shape of West Brom and Swansea and Keane is 7/2 to have gone by midnight on Sunday which, coincidentally is the same price as Ipswich losing both games.

“Despite a promising start to the season, Keane’s side appear to have been treading water of late. By his own admission, he said he would stand down after two years if he did not reach the Premier League and it looks like he will have to honour that promise,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Football Specials:

14/1 Five Goal Premier League Salvo scored this season (five or more)
33/1 Premier League Double Hat-Trick scored this season (five or more)

Premier League Leading Scorer: 7/2 Carlos Tevez; 7/2 Dimitar Berbatov; 9/2 Didier Drogba; 7/1 Fernando Torres; 12/1 Andrew Carroll; 14/1 Darren Bent; 16/1 Marouane Chamakh; 16/1 Florent Malouda; 20/1 Wayne Rooney; 20/1 Asamoah Gyan; 25/1 Nicolas Anelka; 25/1 Rafael Van der Vaart; 25/1 Johan Elmander; 33/1 BAR

1/7 Keane is gone by first game of next season (4/1 he is still at Ipswich)
7/2 Keane has gone by midnight on Sunday
7/2 Ipswich to lose against West Brom AND Swansea
