Ardley Surprising As Girl Power Tips Neal For Cardiff Job

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

Ardley a surprise, really!
GIRL-POWER BOOSTS ARDLEY CLAIMS TO CARDIFF JOB….

WILLIAM HILL have taken a string of bets from female punters in different parts of north London – all backing the club’s Youth Academy coach Neal Ardley to be appointed their next manager. Hills slashed Ardley’s odds from 40/1 to 8/1 this evening as cash came in for him, ‘This was an interesting gamble from two different angles – firstly, virtually all of the initial bets for him were placed by female customers, and, secondly, the bets were placed either in North London betting shops, or by online clients with North London addresses – an area which would seem at first glance to have little connection to Cardiff – but experience has taught us that people will often try to throw us off the scent of a gamble by placing the bets in unexpected places at unexpected times and in unexpected amounts!’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’The bets were for an average of around £40, ranging from £10 to three figures’

WILLIAM HILL…NEXT CARDIFF MANAGER…1/3 Malky Mackay; 9/2 Chris Hughton; 7/1 Mark Robins; 8/1 Neal Ardley; 9/1 Roberto di Matteo.Others on request.

You Bet England Could Be Czech-ing Out Early Of Euros

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

England U21s drew once again and they are now offered at 11/5 to draw their final group game with William Hill. England are now 6/5 to win their final group game which would be just enough to see them into the semi final of the tournament. The Czech Republic are 9/5 to win. Daniel Sturridge is the 11/2 favourite to open the scoring in the match, while Danny Welbeck, who squandered a glorious chance against the Ukraine, is 13/2.

England are now out to 11/2 to win the tournament, having been as short as 9/2 at the start of the season. Spain, having effectively qualified from their group are now 8/11 clear favourites to go on and win the tournament.

“Everything boils down to the Czech Republic game and there is hardly anything to separate the sides. The draw price should not be ignored and that outcome would obviously see England eliminated,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

England / Czech Republic Match Betting: 6/5 England; 9/5 Czech Republic; 11/5 Draw.

U21 Euros Outright: 8/11 Spain; 9/2 Switzerland; 5/1 Czech Republic; 11/2 England; 12/1 Denmark; 33/1 Ukraine; 40/1 Belarus; 200/1 Iceland

Shear Relief As Big Al Cardiff Gamble Goes Astray

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

SHEAR RELIEF FOR BOOKIES AS ALAN TURNS DOWN CARDIFF

AFTER A hefty gamble encompassing a stream of bets from Ireland to Australia, bookmakers William Hill were relieved as Alan Shearer decided against taking the Cardiff job, having been backed down from 10/1 to 1/8 to be appointed.
‘It appears this was a very well informed gamble – with an ill informed outcome!’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. ‘Shearer was backed off the boards as big money came in for him, starting in Cork, moving to south west London and finally becoming international as we saw a four figure Australian gamble – it looked like we’d been set up for a fall, but we are relieved to have dodged the financial bullet’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Shearer is now 10/1 with Hills to get the Birimingham job.

WILLIAM HILL now make Malky Mackay 8/11 favourite to become the next Cardiff manager with Mark Robins 5/1; Chris Hughton 7/1 and Alan Shearer 8/1 -‘a precautionary price should one or other side change its mind!’ – 10/1 Billy Davies; 12/1 Ian Holloway.

HILLS…NEXT VILLA BOSS…1/6 McLeish; 9/2 Hughes; 10/1 Moyes; 20 Coyle; Poyet; Rijkaard.

HILL… NEXT BIRMINGHAM BOSS….2/1 Hughton; Cotterill; 7/2 Davies; 4/1 Di Matteo; 6/1 Zola.10/1 Shearer.

Wl Corks Be Popping For Shearer ?

WILL SHEARER BE POPPING CORKS TO CELEBRATE CARDIFF JOB?

A GAMBLE which began in Cork has catapulted Alan Shearer into the position of second favourite to become the next Cardiff manager with bookmakers William Hill who have slashed his odds from 10/1 to 6/4.
‘We began to see bets for Shearer on Monday night and soon noticed that almost all of them – and they were for up to 200 euros a time- were coming from the Cork area. We reduced the odds but the bets continued to come in and eventually we began to see money from other areas. The gamble has continued on Tuesday morning and we wouldn’t be surprised to see Shearer become favourite over Malky Mackay very shortly’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
