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

Following a record breaking weekend, William Hill are offering 25/1 that the Premier League comes down to earth with a bang with just 0-10 goals scored. Hills are 2/5 that 21-30 goals are scored. Last weekend saw 43 goals scored and Hills are offering 25/1 that this impressive total is bettered this weekend.

“There were many factors involved in such a record breaking weekend and the odds suggest that a semblance of normality will return to the Premier League come this weekend’s fixtures,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Despite all the goals at the weekend, one man who failed to find the net was Fernando Torres although Hills are offering 10/11 that he manages to get himself on the score sheet for his new club. He is 1/3 to start Chelsea’s game against Fulham but 2/5 to be subbed off. His former manager Kenny Dalglish is now priced at 1/7 to secure the Liverpool manager’s position on a permanent basis.

Total Premier League Goals Sat-Mon: 25/1 0-10; 10/3 11-20; 2/5 21-30; 11/2 31-40; 20/1 Over 40

25/1 Over 43 goals

Will Torres…Start 1/3; Score 10/11; Get Subbed Off 2/5

Where Will Liverpool Finish: 7/1 1st-4th; 1/8 5th-10th; 11th-17th 8/1; 18th-19th 100/1; 150/1 Bottom

WILLIAM HILL believe Fabio Capello will start THREE Man City players against Montenegro, and make that option their 5/6 favourite – but also offer 25/1 that only one or none will start, 16/1 that five will do so.

‘City are well represented in the squad and it will be interesting to see whether Capello believes it is worth starting as many players as possible who play together for a club side’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Rooney Backed To Be Red Carded

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

ROONEY BACKED TO BE SENT OFF

WILLIAM HILL have cut their odds for Wayne Rooney to be sent off in England’s match against Slovenia from 33/1 to 20/1. ‘We’re not taking much money for England win anything at the moment – but we’ve seen great interest in the odds for Rooney to be sent off against Slovenia following his after-match outburst and have cut the price from 33/1 to 20/1’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
HILLS ALS OFFER 6/4 THAT ROONEY WILL BE SUBBED; 5/2 HE WILL BE BOOKED; 8/1 HE IS DROPPED;16/1 HE WILL GESTURE AT THE FANS – (NOT IN A NICE WAY!);

WILL FABIO KEEP JOE-KING WITH SELECTION?

DESPITE numerous calls for Joe Cole to be recalled to England’s starting line up, William Hill offer 7/4 that it will happen – and go 2/5 that Capello will refuse to start him. ‘Joe Cole seems to be the pivotal point of the disaffection between Capello and many England fans who want his flair in the team rather than the now routine pragmatism, some say predictability, of his line-ups’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharfpe.
HILLS OFFER 2/5 that Aaron Lennon WILL start, 7/4 not to; 4/9 that Upson will start (13/8 not to); 6/4 that Heskey will start (1/2 not to); 13/8 that Dawson will start (4/9 not to).

WIIAM HILL have opened a book on which players will start in England’s opening World Cup game, against USA, and make David James 5/4 favourite to start between the sticks, while up front Emile Hesky at 4/6 is rated more likely than in-form Jermain Defoe at 7/4, to start the game. ‘Now the guessing games can begin in earnest – who does Fabio really rate as his best players in certain positions – all will be revealed with the countdown to the action now underway, and we expect a lively betting market’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WITH DAVID BECKHAM very prominent at the World Cup draw, William Hill offering odds of 5/1 that he will break Peter Shilton’s all time record number of caps.’If he is to have the slightest chance of overtaking Shilts, Beckham needs to get to win one or two of the great keeper during the World Cup or he’ll have too much to do and too little time left to do it in’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
HILLS MAKE BECKHAM 13/8 TO START ONE OR MORE WORLD CUP GAMES, 4/9 NOT TO.
