HAMMERS TAKEN FOR GRANTED? BET ON IT

WILLIAM HILL make West Ham 9/2 for a top half finish next season after the appointment of Avram Grant as manager was revealed. ‘Grant has been well received at both Chelsea and Portsmouth, so Hammers’ fans will be hoping he can do a similarly respectable job for their club’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Will Roy Stay At The Cottage?

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

AFTER his success with Fulham over the past couple of seasons, fans of the club will hope Roy Hodgson remains there at the start of next season, and William Hill believe he will, quoting 1/2 that he is still there, 6/4 that he has moved on. ‘Roy has done a great job and may feel he can do even better next season – or might believe the time is right to go while he is attracting plaudits’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Roy Hodgson to be Fulham manager on the 1st day of 2010/11 season: 1/2 YES 6/4 NO
WILL JT SEE THE FA CUP FINAL OUT IF HE STARTS?
WITH JOHN TERRY’S fitness a doubt as the Cup Final approaches, William Hill have opened a book on how long the Chelsea skipper will play in the game should he start, and make the whole of the 90 minutes their 1/6 favourite. ‘Terry is a Chelsea talisman and he won’t want to miss the celebrations if they win so will probably have to be dragged off , but if he is injured he’ll be aware of the imminent World Cup and won’t want to exacerbate the situation’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
How long will John Terry play in the FA Cup final (if starting the match):

How Long Will John Terry Play In The FA Cup Final*: 14/1 0-15, 25/1 16-30, 16/1 31-Half Time, 20/1 46-60, 14/1 61-75, 8/1 76-89, 1/6 Complete the match

*Terry must start the match or bets void (90 minute betting only.)

Role Up For The £10 Million FA Final!

William Hill are expecting industry turnover of ten million pounds plus for the FA Cup final as the Big punters are expected to come steaming in for 1/6 favourites Chelsea. “On paper the game is a mismatch but we think our high rollers will come steaming in for Chelsea to bolster their World Cup betting accounts,” said Hill’s spokesman Rupert Adams.

One Hills punter from Hampshire stands to win £3000 should Portsmouth win, having backed them at 150/1 with £20 early on in the tournament but it is the Chelsea double that Hills fear with some massive liabilities.

FA CUP Final:

90 Minutes: 1/6 Chelsea, 12/1 Portsmouth, 13/2 Draw
To Win In Extra Time: 12/1 Chelsea, 28/1 Portsmouth
To Win On Penalties: 22/1 Chelsea, 28/1 Portsmouth

Chelsea 8-0: 150/1
