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

Following a disappointing result for Manchester United, Manchester City have been trimmed from 13/10 to 6/5 to win the Premiership title. Hills now offer even money that Manchester United will not top the Premiership table in 2012 and although it is 4/5 that Van Persie breaks his duck at the weekend, it is 7/2 he fails to hit the back of the net in the next four fixtures.

“Tonight was a great result for the bookies and Sir Alex & RVP will need to raise their game if they are to win back their title,” said Hill’s spokesman Rupert Adams.

Super Goal Makes Crouchy 5/2 To Go To Euros…city Out To 6/4 For League Title

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

Manchester City moved to the top of the table although failed to get the victory that they would have wanted and William Hill make them 6/4 to win the Premier League. Despite a strong start to the season, Manchester City have gone off the boil and are in real danger of letting the chance of league victory slipping through their fingers. Should that happen, Mancini could well be on his way and William Hill offer 7/4 that he is no longer in charge of Manchester City come the start of next season (2/5 to still be there).

“If Mancini did not know the meaning of squeaky bum time, he will certainly be getting the message now, something that will not be lost on Sir Alex,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Peter Crouch scored a wonder goal preventing City from getting the win and he will be hopeful of getting a call up to the England squad for the Euros. William Hill make him 5/2 to get the call up (2/7 to be left at home).

Premier League Outright: 1/2 Manchester United; 6/4 Manchester City; 200/1 Arsenal; 500/1 Tottenham

Mancini at Manchester City first day of next season: 2/5 yes; 7/4 no

Peter Crouch to make Euro 2012 squad: 5/2 yes; 2/7 no

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.

Falcao Slashed To Join Avb At The Bridge

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

William Hill have cut the odds of Falcao joining his former manager at Chelsea from 7/4 to 5/4. Hills also offer 6/1 that he signs two of his former players and 12/1 that he signs three or more. Hills offer 11/10 that Modric joins Chelsea from Spurs, while 2/1 is available for Eto’o to arrive from Inter Milan. Romelu Lukaku appears to be the favourite to go to the Bridge, however, with the Anderlecht youngster 4/6 to make the move.

“It appears that Andre Villas-Boas may emulate Mourinho before him by bringing over a hoard of his former players in an attempt to bring glory to the Bridge,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

To sign for Chelsea in the Summer Transfer Window:
Modric: 11/10 yes; 4/6 no
Neymar: 5/2 yes; 2/7 no
Hulk: 4/1 yes; 1/7 no
Falcao: 5/4 yes; 4/7 no
Eto’o: 2/1 yes; 4/11 no
Lukaku: 4/6 yes; 11/10 no
Moutinho: 2/1 yes; 4/11 no

How Many Porto Players Will AVB Sign For Chelsea: 8/11 none; 13/8 one; 6/1 two; 14/1 three or more

You Bet Team GB Will Show United Front…

The GB Football team argument rumbles on and Hills are offering a market on which country will have the most representatives in the squad for the Olympics. England are the 1/16 favourites followed by Wales and Scotland at 9/1. N. Ireland are offered at 16/1. All of the nations are odds on to have at least one player start the first game of the tournament.

“There are murmurings of discontent from some of the home nations associations, however, it looks as though common sense will prevail and each country will have at least one representative at the Games,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Hills go 4/9 about David Beckham starting the first game of the Olympics and offer 20/1 that he is the manager of the side. Stuart Pearce is the favourite to be the boss of the side however, offered at 5/2.

TO BE GB OLYMPIC FOOTBALL TEAM BOSS….5/2 Pearce; 5/1 Southgate; 7/1 O’Neill; 8/1 Noel Blake; 9/1 Brian Flynn; 10/1 Billy Stark;Steve Beaglehole; 11/1 Mark Hughes; 20/1 Sir Alex Ferguson; David Beckham. Others on request.
