How many Man Utd players will go to the Olympics? (Players must have played for the Man Utd 1st team)
0-1…..8/1

ARSENAL-CHELSEA-NEWCASTLE- 12/1
SPURS-ARSENAL-NEWCASTLE- 12/1

CISSE 4/7 TO PUT ONE OVER THE BA!

Papiss Cisse bagged yet another goal for Newcastle to take his total to 11 since he joined in January. Being just five goals behind his strike partner, William Hill are offering 10/1 that he outscores Demba Ba in Premier League goals by the end of the season (1/33 he does not).
Hills also go 4/7 that Cisse bags more goals between now and the end of the season than his fellow countryman (5/4 Ba).

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

The title race could take yet another twist on Sunday with both Manchester sides in action. William Hill are offering 14/1 that Manchester United win and Manchester City lose, leaving the Reds eight points ahead before their game next weekend. Hills also offer 10/1 that the opposite happens and Manchester City close the gap to just two points. The favourite is that United retain their five point gap (at 4/9) with United having the chance to win the Premier League at the home of their bitter rivals. Hills are go 5/2 that they do just that (2/7 they do not).

“Manchester United would surely love the opportunity to win the title at the Etihad, but in the same vein, City will be determined not to let that happen and the derby next week could hinge on the two games on Sunday,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Alex Ferguson talked about how he expects that Wayne Rooney will beat Bobby Charlton’s Manchester United goalscoring record and William Hill go 2/1 that he just that during his career (4/11 that doesn’t).

How many points will Manchester United be clear after this week’s round of Premier League fixtures: 10/1 two; 5/1 three; 50/1 four; 4/9 five; 50/1 six; 7/1 seven; 14/1 eight

Manchester United to win the League at Manchester City: 5/2 yes; 2/7 no

Wayne Rooney to beat Bobby Charlton’s Manchester United goalscoring record: 2/1 yes; 4/11 no

Book On Young Player Of The Year After Massive Gamble On Walker

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

William Hill have closed the book on PFA Young Player of the year after Kyle Walker was backed in from 33/1 outsider to 5/6 to scoop the award. The straw that broke the camel’s back was when a punter in Leeds entered a shop asking to place £1200 on the Tottenham right back.

“This is a market in which the outcome is predetermined and while the majority of punters who want a genuine bet outweigh those that already know, unfortunately we think we may have inadvertently found out the winner of the Young Player of the Year,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Goal-line Technology 3/1 To Be Introduced By The Start Of Next Season

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

Once again referees were at the centre of controversy, this time Martin Atkinson ruling that Chelsea had scored a second goal at Wembley and William Hill think that there will be even more clamour for goal-line technology than there has been in recent weeks. Backed in from an original 5/1, Hills now offer 3/1 that the FA introduce measures by the start of next season (2/9 that they do not).

“This season has seen a number of high profile refereeing blunders, especially in recent weeks and there will surely, once more, be a call to the FA to introduce goal-line technology,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Andy Carroll scored the winner for Liverpool against Everton in the FA Cup semi final and William Hill make him 8/1 to score the last goal of the match in the final and also offer 12/1 that he is named official Man Of The Match in the final.
