LIVERPOOL AND RAFA ON BRINK

LIVERPOOL’S chances of progressing in the Champions League suffered a hammer blow as Lyon scored a late equaliser, and William Hill now make them 8/1 to go through from their Group (1/20 not to), and 40/1 to win the tournament, while Hills now make Rafa Benitez 6/4 from 9/4 to be gone from the club by the end of the season (1/2 to survive). ‘Rafa went from hero to almost zero in the space of minutes and Liverpool will do well to lift themselves from a setback like this’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
HILLS OFFER 1/7 THAT LIVERPOOL WILL WIN NOTHING THIS SEASON.
Rangers are 9/2 with Hills to go through, 1/8 not to.
Hills now make Chelsea 6/4 favourites to progress furthest of the Premier League sides in the competition, with Man U at 7/4, , Arsenal 2/1 and Liverpool 16/1.

City Fail To Pressurise Big 4

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

CITY BLOW CHANCE TO PRESSURISE BIG 4

MANCHESTER CITY’S failure to take all three points from the trip to Birmingham has seen William Hill shorten their odds that the Big 4 will all finish in the top four at the end of the season, from 6/4 to 11/8 – but they lengthened their odds for anyone to gatecrash the top four from 1/2 to 8/15. ‘We still believe it is more likely than not that at least one side – probably City – will break the Big 4 stranglehold on the top four places’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

CHELSEA are now 5/4 favourites to win the Premiership title with William Hill, who make Manchester United 9/4 second favourites – and offer 11/4 that Chelsea finish top with United runners-up, and 4/1 that it ends vice versa.
Hills make Arsenal 10/3 third favourites for the title with Man City 12/1; Liverpool 20/1; Spurs 100/1; Villa 200/1.

WITHOUT BIG 4

WILLIAM HILL make Man City 2/5 favourites to finish top of their ‘Without the Big 4’ market and also offer 7/2 Spurs; 11/2 Villa; 20 Everton; 33 Sunderland.

RELEGATION…William Hill make Hull 4/11 favourites to go down (2/1 to stay up) and also offere 4/5 Portsmouth (10/11); 11/8 Burnley; Wolves; 6/4 Birmingham; 4 West Ham; 11/2 Blackburn; Bolton; 7/1 Wigan.

Liverpool 10/1 To Lose 10 As Rio World Cup Odds Lengthen And Brown Odds On For Chop

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

10/1 LIVERPOOL TO LOSE TEN OR MORE PREM GAMES

WITH LIVERPOOL already beaten five times in the Premier League, William Hill are betting on how many matches they will lose in the division by the end of the season, and make 7 their 15/8 favourite, also offering 8- 9/4; 9- 7/2; 6- 5/1; 10+ – 10/1; 5- 14/1.
And with Liverpool also 8/13 to go out of the Champions League at the current stage with Hills, who make them 6/5 to progress, Rafa Benitez is also coming under pressure, with Hills making him 9/4 to be gone by the end of the season, but 1/3 still to be boss. ‘It is difficult to see Liverpool avoiding any more Premier League defeats, and with five already on the board we suspect out 10/1 for 10 or more defeats to be a popular offer’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘And there is more backing for Rafa to depart before the end of the campaign, rather than to remain’.

RIO SPECULATION SEES WORLD CUP START ODDS LENGTHEN

AS SPECULATION mounts over Rio Ferdinand’s fitness, William Hill have lengthened their odds about him starting England’s first World Cup match from 1/7 to 1/6, and shortened the odds for him to miss out from 4/1 to 7/2. He is now down from 10/1 to 7/1 not to be selected for the World Cup squad, and 1/16 to be included. ‘The longer the uncertainty continues, the more money we’ll take for him to fail to make the starting line up, or even the squad’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

BROWN STILL ON BRINK, SAY BOOKIES

DESPITE suggestions that Phil Brown’s future as Hull boss will be guaranteed by the club’s new chairman, William Hill give him little chance of seeing the season out as manager and offer 1/12 that he will go before the end of the campaign and 6/1 that he is still there on the final day.

Brown ‘ Managerial Dead Man Walking ‘

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

BROWN IS ‘MANAGERIAL DEAD MAN WALKING’

HULL boss Phil Brown is 1/12 with William Hill to fail to see out the season with his club, and 6/1 to do so – ‘He is the managerial equivalent of a dead man walking after the defeat by Burnley’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. And Hills now make Rafa Benitez 9/4 to fail to see out the season at Liverpool, and 1/3 to survive – ‘Liverpool’s season looks likely to stand or fall on whether they can get through to the next stage of the Champions League – and so might Rafa’s future’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

TITLE ODDS

CHELSEA are now 5/4 favourites to win the Premiership title with William Hill, who make Manchester United 9/4 second favourites – and offer 11/4 that Chelsea finish top with United runners-up, and 4/1 that it ends vice versa.
Hills make Arsenal 10/3 third favourites for the title with Man City 11/1; Liverpool 20/1; Spurs 100/1; Villa 200/1.
HILLS NOW OFFER 6/4 THAT THE BIG 4 END UP THE TOP 4, 1/2 THAT THEY DO NOT.

WITHOUT BIG 4

WILLIAM HILL make Man City 2/5 favourites to finish top of their ‘Without the Big 4’ market and also offer 7/2 Spurs; 11/2 Villa; 20 Everton; 33 Sunderland.

Goals, goals, goals………
WHAT WILL SEASON’S PREMIERSHIP MATCH GOALS’ AVERAGE BE?

WILLIAM HILL are betting on what the final average tally for goals per game in Premiership matches will be this season, and offer 11/1 that it will be over 2.9 per game.’There have been goals galore in the Prem so far this season but we think the ultimate average per game is likely to be between 2.61 and 2.7, so we make that range our 6/4 favourite’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Under 2.5 14/1
2.50 – 2.6 4/1
2.61 – 2.7 6/4
2.71 -2.8 2/1
2.81 – 2.9 6/1
Over 2.9 11/1
WILLIAM HILL have opened a book on how many Premiership goals Arsenal will score this season and offer 5/6 80 or more; 5/6 79 or fewer.

The Gunners are 14/1 with Hills to score 100 or more Prem goals. ‘It has been goals galore for the Gunners at home and if they can keep them flowing 100 should be within their capabilities’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

With the Arsenal-Blackburn match clocking up a new highest aggregate of the Prem season so far, 8 goals, Hills offer 2/5 that no game this season will produce 9 or more; 5/2 that 9 will be the highest aggregate of the Prem season; 9/1 that 10 will be the highest aggregate; 20/1 that 11 or more will be highest aggregate.
WILLIAM HILL OFFER 10/1 THAT ANY ENGLAND ‘SUB’ WILL BE AWARDED A FIFA MAN OF THE MATCH AWARD DURING WORLD CUP FINALS. ‘Steve Bruce’s decision to hand the Man of the Match Award to David Beckham may set a new trend – perhaps we can look forward to a referee or ball-boy receiving one during the World Cup finals’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
BECKHAM 8/13 TO MAKE WORLD CUP SQUAD

AFTER his ‘man of the match’ performance against Belarus, David Beckham is 8/13 to make England’s World Cup squad with William Hill who make him 5/1 to beat Peter Shilton’s recored 125 cap haul.

‘Love him or hate him, you can’t ignore the bearded wonder who is 1/4 to be sporting facial hair of some kind when the first England World Cup goal kicks off’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Hills now make Ben Foster 5/1 to start in goal in England’s first World Cup game.Peter Crouch is 6/5 with Hills to start first World Cup game.

EMILE 2/1 TO QUIT VILLA IN TRANSFER WINDOW

WILLIAM HILL offer 2/1 that Emile Heskey will leave Villa during the next transfer window – and make him a 4/11 chance still to be there on February 1, 2010, offering 7/1 that he has joined Spurs by then. ‘Heskey seems to believe there will be a string of clubs desperate to snap him up if he leaves Villa, we’re not so sure and think he may realise that he is better off at Villa than he could be anywhere else’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Hills…….At which club will Emile Heskey be on 1st February 2010?:
Aston Villa 4/11
Tottenham 7/1

Sven-to-quit-County odds halved:
WILL ENGLAND MEET SVEN IN WORLD CUP?

WITH Sven Goran Erikkson appearing to be eyeing up the possibility of taking up yet another international management appointment after his stunning success with England and Mexico, William Hill are offering 25/1 that he will be managing any of the countries England meet during the World Cup – and have also halved their odds about Sven quitting Notts County before the end of the season from 11/2 to 11/4, making him 1/4 from 1/10 to see the campaign out at the club. ‘The association with possible World Cup contenders smacks of keeping Sven’s name in the public eye so that potential employers don’t forget about him, and wouldn’t appear to augur well for County’s chances of hanging on to him in the long term’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
