Odds On Goal-line Technology Cut As Spurs Drift In Top London Club Market!

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

QPR were denied a vital goal in their relegation battle against Bolton and are now 1/3 with William Hill to be relegated at the end of the season. Mark Hughes’ reign has got off to a less than auspicious start to say the least and Hills are offering 11/10 that he is no longer QPR boss come the first day of their 2012/13 season(4/6 that he is still there).

Hughes’ odds of departure have changed drastically since yesterday’s defeat and should QPR be relegated, it could well be traced back to that phantom goal. Hills have cut their odds of goal-line technology being introduced following solid punter support and offer 11/4 that the Premier League sees goal-line technology next season.

“After such a vital ‘goal’ was chalked off yesterday, the goal-line technology argument has once again reared its head and it looks as though a resolution may finally be around the corner, but all maybe too little too late for Hughes and QPR” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Spurs have now lost two matches on the spin and with Arsenal starting to fire on all cylinders, Hills only make Tottenham slight favourites at 8/13 to be the top London club at the end of the season with Arsenal 9/4 and Chelsea 7/2.

William Hill Odds:

Goal-Line Technology to be introduced by the start of the 2012/13 season: 11/4 yes; 1/4 no

Which league will be the first to introduce goal-line technology: 13/8 SPL; 11/4 EPL; 4/1 Bundesliga; 11/2 La Liga; 7/1 Ligue 1; 8/1 Serie A; 10/1 Eredivisie

Hughes to be manager of QPR on the first day of next season: 4/6 yes; 11/10 no

Premier League relegation: 2/9 Wigan; 3/10 Wolves; 1/3 QPR; 11/8 Bolton; 13/8 Blackburn; 25/1 BAR

Premier League to stay up: 4/9 Blackburn; 8/15 Bolton; 9/4 QPR; 12/5 Wolves; 3/1 Wigan

Top London Club: 8/13 Tottenham; 9/4 Arsenal; 7/2 Chelsea

Thomas Vermaelen won tonight’s game in the last minute and William Hill are offering 11/10 that they are the top London club at the end of the season with Spurs Even money and Chelsea 6/1. They are also 2/7 to finish in the top four, while Newcastle are 28/1 to taste Champions League football next season.

“Arsenal have come from behind to win in the last four games that they have played and are showing the grit, determination and quality that is needed at this stage of the season to achieve a top four position,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Robin van Persie scored yet another goal and William Hill are offering 2/1 that he beats Alan Shearer and Andy Cole’s Premier League goal record of 34 goals in a season.

******Wolves At The Door Of Steve Bruce********

Steve Bruce has been the subject of a large gamble to become the next permanent Wolves boss with William Hill seeing countless bets (predominantly from the North of England) that saw his odds tumble from 7/1 to 4/1 in a matter of minutes, before the book was closed at 19:55 on Monday evening.

Arsenal Put Up Fight But Fall Short…chelsea Ease Into Last Eight Of Fa Cup

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

Arsenal fought bravely but fell just short as they aimed to conquer the mountain that was a four goal deficit against AC Milan. Before the game, William Hill punters piled into Arsenal – to win the match (23/20), to qualify (20/1) and to win 5-0 (125/1), all amounting to liabilities of well over £1 million.

“As Van Persie’s penalty hit the back of the net, I have to say we were torn,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “It would have been fantastic to have witnessed such an epic comeback, but at the same time, we would have been on the receiving end of a seven figure walloping.”

Hills think that Arsene Wenger’s side showed such guts to get back to 4-3 and Hills think that they could well ride the crest of such a good performance, offering 8/15 that they finish in the top four of the Premier League, to continue their rich tradition in the Champions League. Alex Oxlade Chamberlain ran himself to a standstill during the game and William Hill are offering 5/4 that he makes it into the England squad for the European Championships.

Progression in the Champions League would have been the only thing to keep alive Arsenal’s hopes of ending their six year drought without a trophy, but Hills think that they could make up for that, offering 2/1 that they win at least one piece of silverware next season.

For the first time, Robin van Persie has moved to odds on (8/11) that he is no longer at Arsenal on the first day of next season (he is even money to still be there).

Wenger 1st day of next season: 2/5 yes 7/4 no
Van Persie 1st day of next season: EVES yes 8/11 No
Arsenal to win a trophy in 2012/13: 2/1
(Only Prem, FA Cup, Carling Cup, Champions League/Europa League count)
Alex Oxlade Chamberlain to make the England Euro 2012 squad: 4/7 no; 5/4 yes

CHELSEA FA CUP

Chelsea eased through to the quarter finals of the FA Cup despite a tricky first half under Roberto Di Matteo and William Hill make them 11/4 to win the cup behind 5/2 joint favourites Liverpool and Tottenham. Fernando Torres endured yet another tricky match and Hills make him 11/8 to have left the club before the start of next season.

FA Cup Outright:
Liverpool 5/2
Tottenham 5/2
Chelsea 11/4
Everton 6/1
Sunderland 9/1
Stoke 16/1
Bolton 28/1
Leicester 66/1
Stevenage 150/1

EW 1/3 1-2

Chelsea FA Cup stage of elimination:
Quarter final 4/1
Semi Final 11/8
Runner Up 10/3
Winner 11/4

Di Matteo Chelsea manager for the last premier league game of the season: 1/50 yes 12/1 no

Torres a Chelsea player on the 1st day of the next premier league season: 8/15 Yes 11/8 No

Premier League top four: 1/16 Spurs; 8/15 Arsenal; 13/8 Chelsea; 5/1 Liverpool; 12/1 BAR

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

CHELSEA BOSS JUST 2/7 TO BE NEXT MANAGER OUT

Chelsea’s woeful run continued with defeat to West Brom and William Hill are offering 2/7 that Andre Villas is the next boss to leave his job with 8/11 for him to no longer be Chelsea manager on the first day of next season. Chelsea’s faltering season sees their hopes of qualifying for the Champions League hanging by a thread and William Hill offer 8/15 that they do not play in Europe’s elite competition next season.

“AVB is staring at the abyss right now and a bad result against Birmingham could be the end of him…that is of course if he lasts that long,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Fernando Torres made yet another cameo and rather unsurprisingly, failed to find the net. Hills are now offering 9/4 that he fails to score in any of the next four Chelsea games, although he is Even money to score anytime against Birmingham. Chelsea are out to 10/1 to finish as top London club this season, with Spurs 1/8 and Arsenal 13/2.

In complete contrast to Chelsea, Manchester City have now won 19 consecutive home games and William Hill make them 9/2 to win all their remaining home games this season, although they are 10/11 to fail to win in their next home match against Chelsea.

Torres Next Score?
Birmingham (A) (FAC) EVS
Stoke (H) 5/2
Napoli (H) (UCL) 5/1
Man City (A) 8/1
None of these 9/4

**Must start vs Birmingham or bets void.

Chelsea to play in 2012/13 Champions league?
Yes – 11/8
No – 8/15

AvB at Chelsea on 1st day of 12/13 Premier League season?
Yes – EVS
No – 8/11

Man City fail to win at home?
Chelsea 19/03 10/11
Sunderland 31/03 6/1
West Brom 11/04 17/2
Man Utd 30/04 10/3
QPR 13/05 25/1
Win all remaining home games 9/2
**MUST BE PLAYED IN ABOVE ORDER.

Premier League Relegation: 1/5 Wigan; 4/6 Bolton; 8/11 QPR; 8/11 Blackburn; 4/5 Wolves; 14/1 Aston Villa; 20/1 BAR

Premier League Winner: 8/15Manchester City; 13/8 Manchester United; 66/1 Tottenham; 250/1 BAR

Top London: 1/8 Spurs; 13/2 Arsenal; 10/1 Chelsea

Next Premier League manager to go: 2/7 Andre Villas Boas; 5/1 Owen Coyle; 6/1 Alex McLeish; 6/1 No Manager to leave; 10/1 Steve Kean; 20/1 BAR

Loftus Road Sees Fine Display Of Nuts As Squirrel Takes To Pitch!

A squirrel stopped play at Loftus road, becoming the second animal to do so this season and William Hill have paid out to any punters who backed that particular creature halting a Premier League game at 10/1. Hills have now reopened the market and have cat and dog as the 7/2 joint favourite. Squirrel is 4/1 with mouse or rat 9/1. There has been plenty of magical football seen in the Premier League this season and Hills are offering 1000/1 that a unicorn is the next animal to stop play!

Next animal to stop a Premier League match: 7/2 Cat; 7/2 Dog; 4/1 Squirrel; 9/1 Mouse/Rat; 6/1 Fox; 6/1 Rabbit/Hare; 12/1 Goat; 20/1 Badger; 20/1 Mole; 25/1 Monkey; 33/1 Horse/Pony/Donkey; 33/1 Pig; 33/1 Cow; 50/1 Turtle/Tortoise; 100/1 Komodo Dragon; 100/1 Polar Bear; 100/1 Kangaroo; 100/1 Dingo; 100/1 Crocodile; 1000/1 Unicorn

RB BACKED TO SUCCEED AVB

RAFA BENITEZ has been backed from 3/1 to 5/4 favourite with William Hill to become the next permanent (one year contract or longer) Chelsea manager. Hills make Jose Mourinho 3/1 second favourite and also offer 6/1 Di Matteo; 7/1 Guardiola;8/1 Capello; 12 Moyes; 16 Poyet; Deschamps;Hiddink.’All the early cash has been for Benitez, with bets of up to £300 coming in for him – perhaps it was the many customers who backed AVB not to see out the season reinvesting their winnings’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

ARSENE Wenger is now a 2/5 chance still to be in charge at the Emirates at the start of next season (7/4 to be gone) -but whether he will still have purple-patch striker Robin Van Persie to call on is in doubt and the Dutchman is 4/6 to be gone (11/10 still there) when the new campaign kicks off.
