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

The World Cup 2018 and 2022 bids host cities are being decided on 2nd December 2010 and William Hill make Russia the Even money favourite for 2018 and Qatar the 4/9 favourite for 2022. England’s bid for 2018 had been as short as 1/3, however, since the ‘cash-for-votes’ was exposed, the price has drifted out to 13/8.

“A month ago, England were the hot favourites to host the 2018 World Cup, but sadly it seems like Russia have now won the bid,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill 2018 / 2022 World Cup Bids Odds:

2018: 1/1 Russia; 13/8 England; 11/4 Portugal & Spain; 50/1 Belgium & Holland

Massive Gamble On Russia For 2018

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

In the last 24 hours, William Hill have seen a heavy gamble (including one bet of £2000) in the London area for Russia’s 2018 World Cup Bid and have subsequently slashed their odds from Even money to 4/6. This has pushed England’s odds out to 9/4 and Portugal and Spain’s bid is priced at 3/1. It is a long way since England were the massive odds on favourites a month ago and it now seems as if Russia have the upper hand with a decision imminent on Tuesday.

“As opposed to England, Russia seems to be attracting money at the right time and with decision day getting ever closer, it seems as if there is only one winner,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill World Cup 2018 World Cup Bid:

4/6 Russia; 9/4 England; 3/1 Portugal & Spain; 50/1 Belgium & Holland

Would You Adam And Eve It? Blackpool Braced To Lose Star Player

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

Following news that the Premier League have ruled in favour of Charlie Adam over his contract dispute, William Hill have opened a book on where he will be playing after the January transfer window. He is odds-on at 2/7 to remain at Blackpool after the League announced that the breach was not sufficient for him to end his contract. However, should enough bridges have been burned between club and player, the odds suggest that Everton will be sniffing around at 7/2. Liverpool are priced at 9/1 to sign the player in January.

“There is no doubting that Adam has been the stand out player for Blackpool this season and should this contract dispute have damaged relations between club and player, there will be no lack of clubs lining up to take him away from Bloomfield Road,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Blackpool are 5/6 to be relegated this season and 2000/1 to win the league.

William Hill Charlie Adam:

Charlie Adam’s Club After January Transfer Window: 2/7 Blackpool; 7/2 Everton; 9/1 Liverpool; 10/1 Bolton; 11/1 Rangers; 14/1 Aston Villa; 14/1 Stoke (others on request)

Bookies Paying The Penalty For Rooney’s Lack Of Form

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

Wayne Rooney scored from the spot last night against Rangers taking his Manchester United tally this season to two…both goals being penalties. William Hill have opened a book on the method of Rooney’s next goal and make a penalty 5/1. Rooney to score from a shot inside the penalty box is Hill’s 4/7 favourite, while a shot from outside the penalty box is offered at 9/2.

“Wayne Rooney scored a penalty against Rangers, however, that does not disguise the fact that he is suffering from a continued dip in form. It could well be that he adds to his tally with another penalty,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Wayne Rooney Odds:

Method of Next Goal: 4/7 shot from inside the box (excluding header & penalty); 9/2 Shot from outside the box (excluding header or free kick); 5/1 Penalty; 6/1 Header; 12/1 Direct from free kick.

Dire Night Of Football Brightened By Arsenal Loss…arsene 11/2 To Be Gone By Next Season

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

Arsenal lost tonight and Chelsea had to come from behind to win, in what were two very scrappy performances from British sides. Chelsea are the 11/8 favourites to progress furthest out of all the British teams with William Hill.

Arsenal, on the other hand, looked as though they had not recovered from their North London hangover and Hills now make them 7/2 to progress the furthest. Their odds of winning the Champions’ League have been eased from 10/1 to 12/1. Arsenal’s defeat saved bookies paying out a fair old wedge but should their current run of poor form continue, Arsene Wenger could find himself under pressure and Hills are offering 11/2 that he has left by the first game of next season. The Gunners are now level on points with tonight’s conquerors and Hills are offering 10/1 that Arsenal fail to qualify for the latter stages of the competition.

“It was a rather underwhelming evening of football but despite this, we are still smiling as Arsenal have saved us a small fortune. We may have numb bums, but we are still happy,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Champions’ League Odds:

Outright: 11/4 Real Madrid; 11/4 Barcelona; 4/1 Chelsea; 9/1 Man Utd; 12/1 Arsenal; 16/1 Bayern Munich; 20/1 Internazionale; 20/1 AC Milan; 25/1 Tottenham; 50/1 BAR

British Team To Progress The Furthest: 11/8 Chelsea; 21/10 Man Utd; 7/2 Arsenal; 6/1 Tottenham; 33/1 Rangers

Arsene Wenger To Still Be At Arsenal On First Day Of Next Season: 1/10 Yes; 11/2 No

British Teams In Final: 4/5 One; 7/5 None; 11/2 Two

Arsenal To Qualify From Group H: 1/33 Yes; 10/1 No

William Hill Suspend Betting On Next Premier League Manager To Go

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

William Hill have suspended betting on the next manager to go market amidst rumours about Carlo Ancelotti’s future at Chelsea. Ancelotti was priced at 10/1 to go following a short run of poor results recently.

“We have seen a few quid, although nothing significant, in the last 24 hours, but that is no great surprise following two defeats. We have since heard rumours he has resigned and have decided to err on the side of caution and suspend betting until more information was revealed,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Unlikely Comeback For 33/1 Spurs…only £200 Staked By Far Sighted Punters

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

Spurs completed an unlikely comeback and were as long as 33/1 with William Hill to win the game at half time. In a game which attracted over £80,000 of in play betting, only £200 was staked on Spurs when they were 2-0 down.

Spurs boss, Harry Redknapp, is now the clear favourite for the England manager’s job, when it becomes available, at 2/1.

“At 2-0 Spurs looked dead and buried and this was reflected by our punters. Less than 1% of the game’s turnover was staked on them at half time. ‘Arry really turned the game around and he is the front-runner to be the next England manager,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Former favourites England are now 6/4 second favourites with William Hill to host the 2018 World Cup as the storm over Sunday Times allegations and the forthcoming Panorama show continues. ‘Punters certainly believe that the England bid has been damaged by this row, and before it broke they were odds on favourites, but have now been overtaken in the betting by Russia, the new favourites.’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills offer 20/1 that England will both HOST the 2018 tournament, and also WIN it.

WILLIAM HILL …WORLD CUP HOSTS 2018…10/11 Russia; 6/4 England; 7/2 Spain/Portugal; 50/1 Holland/Belgium.

TO HOST 2022 WORLD CUP…..4/9 Qatar; 3/1 Australia; 9/2 USA; 33/1 Japan; 40/1 S Korea

WHO’LL GO FIRST – AVRAM OR ROY?

WITH TROUBLED bosses Roy Hodgson and Avram Grant facing each other this weekend, William Hill are offering 4/6 that Grant will leave West Ham before Hodgson, 11/10 to do vice versa, departs Liverpool.
Grant, 11/8 still to be West Ham boss on the first day of next season with Hills, is 7/4 second favourite to be the NEXT Prem manager to leave his club, with Hodgson 7/2 third favourite. Ahead of both of them in Hill’s betting is 13/8 favourite Roberto Mancini. Hills also offer 12/1 Holloway, Hughton, McCarthy, with Martinez at 14/1.
