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

William Hill are taking the unprecedented step of inviting their punters to predict the finishing order of all 20 sides in the Premier League, offering odds of 10,000/1 to do so. “This is a bet that could potentially run until the final day of the season and has a high return for a minimal stake,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “All football fans have strong opinions on who will finish where and we are now offering them the chance to profit from their Prem-onitions.” The odds are the same whether you pick Manchester United or Norwich to win the League or Chelsea or Swansea to finish bottom.

Manchester United are the 6/4 favourites to lift the Premier League trophy this season, while Chelsea are 11/4. Liverpool, however have been the best backed side with over 30% of all bets on the Premier League outright being placed on Kenny Dalglish’s men, who are 10/1. At the other end of the table, the three promoted sides, are the three favourites for the drop, with Swansea 4/9, Norwich 4/7 and QPR 6/4.

Is Gary Gunning For Arsenal As Fab Heads For The Exit?

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

Owen Coyle has said that he has had no dialogue with Liverpool regarding the future of Gary Cahill and despite the Reds interest in the defender, William Hill make Arsenal the 1/2 favourites to win the race to sign him. Chelsea are 7/2 second favourites to be Cahill’s next club with Liverpool 6/1. Kenny Dalglish has been a very busy boy since taking over from Roy Hodgson in January and Hills 6/4 that he brings in between 3-5 more players and 11/8 he signs six or more.

Liverpool’s first game is at home to Sunderland and Hills go 6/10 that they keep a clean sheet, 8/5 they concede one, 9/2 two, 28/1 three and 80/1 four or more.

“Liverpool’s defence has been shaky to say the least this pre-season and Dalglish realises that his back line’s deficiencies need remedying before the start of the season,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “Saying this, however, Arsenal are the favourites to sign Cahill.”

In a potential U-Turn, Joey Barton has said he could well stay at Newcastle for the next year and Hills make him 11/2 to do so, although he is 11/2 to have departed St James’ Park by the time the summer transfer window slams shut. Everton and Stoke currently head the betting to sign Barton at 11/4, while Arsenal are offered at 4/1 with Spurs 9/2.

Cesc Fabregas took part in Arsenal’s open training session but William Hill make him 1/4 to have left the Emirates by the end of the transfer window.

How many more paid signings will Kenny Dalglish make this season: 2/1 0-2; 6/4 3-5; 11/8 6+

Gary Cahill next club: 1/2 Arsenal; 7/2 Chelsea; 6/1 Liverpool; 12/1 Tottenham; 20/1 Manchester City

Joey Barton Next Club: 11/4 Everton; 11/4 Stoke; 4/1 Arsenal; 9/2 Tottenham; 5/1 Celtic; 6/1 Aston Villa; 7/1 Man Utd; 10/1 West Ham; 12/1 Blackburn; 14/1 Bolton; 20/1 Wolves; 20/1 Fulham; 20/1 QPR; 20/1 Sunderland; 25/1 Liverpool; 25/1 Wigan; 40/1 Chelsea

Joey Barton Still at Newcastle after summer transfer window: 11/2 yes; 1/10 no

Cesc Fabregas to still be at Arsenal after the close of the summer transfer window: 1/4 no; 11/4 yes

Next England Manager: 6/4 Harry Redknapp; 6/1 Martin O’Neill; 8/1 Gareth Southgate; 9/1 Roy Hodgson; 14/1 Steve Bruce; 14/1 Jose Mourinho; 16/1 Stuart Pearce; 16/1 Sam Allardyce; 16/1 Carlo Ancelotti; 16/1 Guus Hiddink; 20/1 David Beckham; 20/1 Glenn Hoddle; 20/1 Mark Hughes; 20/1 Arsene Wenger; 20/1 Alan Shearer; 20/1 Ian Holloway

Ancelotti 16/1 to be next England boss,but:
ENGLAND WORLD CUP ODDS ON THE DRIFT

WILLIAM HILL have lengthened England’s 2014 World Cup odds from 12/1 to 16/1 following their disappointing display against Switzerland. They have also lengthened France from 20/1 to 28/1 following the announcement of the seedings for the forthcoming World Cup draw, and shortened favourites Brazil from 7/2 to 5/2, with second favourites Spain out to 5/1 from 9/2.
‘We have decided that on current form, under the current manager England do not warrant being any shorter than 16/1 and that as we have no idea who the boss will be when 2014 gets underway we should be looking to lay them now’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
WITH CARLO ANCELOTTI taking a year out but reportedly saying he wants to remain in management in England, Hill’s have introduced him into the ‘Next England manager’ market at 16/1. ‘If it is decided to opt for another foreign boss Ancelotti would surely be a contender – after all, he speaks better English than Capello’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

HILL’S 2014 WORLD CUP…5/2 Brazil; 5/1 Spain; 6/1 Argentina; 11/1 Germany; 12/1 Holland; 16/1 England; 20/1 Italy; 25/1 Portugal; 28/1 France; 33/1 Chile; 50/1 Uruguay; 50/1 Ivory Coast; 50/1 Serbia; 66/1 Russia; Paraguay; Croatia; Mexico; 80/1 USA; Ghana; Sweden.
HILLS OFFER 100/1 THAT ENGLAND WILL WIN BOTH EURO 2012 AND WORLD CUP 2014

HILL’S NEXT PERMANENT ENGLAND MANAGER MARKET- 6/4 Redknapp; 6/1 Stuart Peare; 6/1 Martin O’Neill; 8/1 Gareth Southgate; 9/1 Roy Hodgson; 10/1 Sam Allardyce; 14/1 Steve Buce; Jose Mourinho; 16/1 Carlo Ancelotti; Guus Hiddink.

You Bet Green Would Glove To Play For England Again!

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

Following the news that Rob Green has withdrawn himself from England duty indefinitely, William Hill have opened a market on who will be the next English goalkeeper to start a competitive game (excluding Joe Hart). Despite their recent announcements, Rob Green is the 9/4 favourite, while Ben Foster is 5/2. Other contenders in the frame to be England’s number two are Scott Carson at 3/1, Scott Loach at 9/2 and Paul Robinson at 14/1.

“Rob Green and Ben Foster have obviously grown tired of playing second fiddle to Joe Hart, but our odds suggest that if England’s number one was to suffer an injury or a lack of form, they may well consider a return to the international fold,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Next English Goalkeeper to start a competitive game (excluding Joe Hart): 9/4 Rob Green; 5/2 Ben Foster; 3/1 Scott Carson; 9/2 Scott Loach; 14/1 Paul Robinson; others on request

FA Bigwigs Expected To Buy British

The FA are remaining coy over who will replace Fabio Capello and have refused to rule out a foreign coach succeeding the Italian. Despite this, William Hill make Harry Redknapp the 6/4 front runner followed by Stuart Pearce and Martin O’Neill, both 6/1 shots. The first foreign manager (excluding O’Neill) to appear in Hill’s betting is Jose Mourinho, offered at 14/1, followed by Guus Hiddink at 16/1.

“The FA have refused to rule out a foreign coach, but we believe that the FA will buy British this time around,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Next England Manager: 6/4 Harry Redknapp; 6/1 Martin O’Neill; 6/1 Stuart Pearce; 8/1 Gareth Southgate; 9/1 Roy Hodgson; 10/1 Sam Allardyce; 14/1 Steve Bruce; 14/1 Jose Mourinho; 16/1 Guus Hiddink; 20/1 Ian Holloway; 20/1 David Beckham; 20/1 Glenn Hoddle; 20/1 Mark Hughes; 20/1 Arsene Wenger; 20/1 Alan Shearer; others on request

Tottenham Face Uphill Struggle To Match Champs League Heroics Next Season

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

Tottenham’s European dream ended at the hands of Real Madrid tonight and William Hill are offering 9/4 that Spurs play Champions League football next season. Tottenham have progressed incredibly under Harry Redknapp and he is 6/4 to become the next England manager. Despite Redknapp’s assurances that his team will not be being split up, the lure of Champion’s League may prove to be too much for some of Spur’s biggest players and Modric is 13/8 to leave the club before the first game of next season, while Van der Vaart is 9/4 and Bale 11/10 to do the same.

“Tottenham have really lit up the competition this season, but their 4-0 victory, that was very well backed pre match, failed to materialise and the odds suggest that Spurs will struggle to get back into the competition for next year,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Real Madrid and Barcelona will now face each other in the Champions League Semi-Final, in what will be one of four El Classico games before the end of the season and Hills offer 33/1 that Real Madrid win them all and 10/1 that Barcelona do so.

William Hill Odds:

Champions League Outright: 1/1 Barcelona; 5/2 Manchester United; 3/1 Real Madrid; 12/1 Schalke

To Qualify:
7/4 Real Madrid; 2/5 Barcelona;
11/4 Schalke; 1/4 Manchester United

Nominate the finalists: 4/5 Barca/Man Utd; 5/2 Real Madrid/Man Utd; 9/2 Barca/Schalke; 9/1 Real Madrid/Schalke

Players to Stay at Spurs (yes/no):
Modric: 4/9 yes; 13/8 no

8/1 Hodgson To Return To Craven Cottage…or Will Banksy Hijacko Wacko?

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

Following the unveiling of Fulham’s rather bizarre Michael Jackson statue, bookmakers William Hill are betting on what will happen first to the effigy. Hills offer 6/1 that a pot of paint is thrown over it, while 8/1 is on offer for somebody to put a Roy Hodgson mask over Jacko’s face. Hills offer 20/1 that Banksy decorates the statue and 25/1 that his microphone is replaced by an umbrella.

“To say that the statue has not gone down well, would be an understatement and it would come as no surprise if somebody did decorate it in their own special way,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

What Will Happen To The Michael Jackson Statue:
6/1 Pot of paint thrown over it
8/1 Roy Hodgson mask put on it
10/1 Fulham shirt to be put on it
12/1 Glove hand to be chopped off
14/1 Chelsea shirt to be put on it
16/1 Head chopped off
20/1 For Banksy to ‘decorate’ the statue
25/1 To have the microphone replaced by an umbrella
