Will Roy Stay At The Cottage?

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

Fabregas Now Odds-on To Leave Arsenal

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

Bookmakers William Hill have cut the price for Cesc Fabregas to leave Arsenal this summer from 11-10 to 8-11 following intense speculation in the Spanish press that he will re-join Barcelona this summer.
Catalan newspaper El Mundo Deportivo claim Fabregas has told family and friends that he has agreed a four-year deal with the Blaugrana.
Leading Spanish newspaper, Marca have also added fuel to the story. They quote the Arsenal skipper as saying “I want to make a decision about my future before the start of the World Cup. It’s impossible to perform at a tournament like the World Cup if you’re not fully focused on the sporting aspects of the game. I don’t want to be distracted by transfer talk.”
William Hill spokesman Graham Sharpe said “The Spanish media seem to believe that it is a done deal and the money seems to suggest that he’ll be playing at the Camp Nou next season.”

Gamble On Skipper Rooney Intensifies

As Fabio flies in……
ROONEY-FOR-SKIPPER GAMBLE GATHERS PACE

WITH FABIO Capello back in the country the guessing game as to his intentions over the John Terry situation has continued, with William Hill forced to slash their odds about Wayne Rooney taking over as captain for England’s opening World Cup game against USA for the second day running, this time from 10/1 to 6/1. ‘With punters betting up to £250 a time on Rooney taking over the armband we’ve had to cut his odds significantly again’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills have now lengthened Terry from 4/9 to 4/7 to be skipper for that game and make Steven Gerrard 5/2 second favourite, with Rooney 6/1; Ferdinand 8/1; Lampard 16/1; Beckham 20/1.
JOHN TERRY is 8/13 with Hills to keep the captain’s armband in the forthcoming friendly against Egypt, and 6/5 to lose it.

You Bet Terry All Gold For Fabio And Carlo

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

IS TERRY STILL ALL GOLD FOR CARLO AND FABIO?

WITH JOHN TERRY’S name being linked to potentially embarrassing tabloid stories, William Hill are betting on whether he will start England’s first game of the World Cup, and Chelsea’s first Premiership game of next season as captain.
Hills offer 1/10 that he will start as skipper in England’s opening World Cup game against USA – 11/2 that he will not; and 1/5 that he will start as skipper in Chelsea’s opening game of the 2010/11 Premiership season, but 10/3 that he will not. ‘There is unanimous support in public for John Terry from both Fabio Capello and Carlo Ancelotti and it seems unlikely that the current stories will cost him either the England or Chelsea captaincy – but should any more emerge his position may not remain quite so secure’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

HESKEY FOR ENGLAND?

WITH Martin O’Neill declaring that Emile Heskey’s injury is not as as at first feared, William Hill make the Villa man a 4/7 chance to start in England’s opening World Cup game against USA – and 5/4 not to. ‘Punters looking to back Emile to play in England’s opening game will be pleased to hear that he is unlikely to be sidelined through injury for any significant length of time’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
