That’s Rich: Luka 9/4 To Turn Out For Big Spending United

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

News reports are suggesting that Manchester United are set to make a move for Spurs playmaker Luka Modric and William Hill are offering a market on who will start in midfield for the Reds on the first day of next season. Paul Scholes and new signing, Shinji Kagawa, are 4/7 with Ryan Giggs 8/11 to start. With Modric not confirmed as a Manchester United player yet, he is just 9/4 to take to the pitch in a United shirt on day one of the 2012/13 season.

“After just missing out on the title this season, United are aiming to come back with a bang and the signings of Kagawa and Modric certainly indicate their intentions right at the start of the summer,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

David Beckham, Craig Bellamy and Ryan Giggs are reportedly the three over 23 players named in Stuart Pearce’s Olympic squad and Hills now make David Beckham the 1/3 favourite to wear the armband in the first game. Bellamy is the 5/1 second favourite with Giggs 6/1.

“All three players have worn international armbands in the past and all three will be leaders on the pitch but it looks like Becks will lead the side out,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

To start for Manchester United next season:

1/3 Michael Carrick (9/4 not to)
4/7 Paul Scholes (5/4 not to)
4/7 Shinji Kagawa (5/4 not to)
8/11 Ryan Giggs (1/1 not to)
6/4 Tom Cleverley (1/2 not to)
6/4 Ji-Sung Park (1/2 not to)
9/4 Luka Modric (1/3 not to)
5/2 Darren Fletcher (2/7 not to)
9/2 Paul Pogba (1/8 not to)

Who will be Team GB in the first group game: 1/3 David Beckham; 5/1 Craig Bellamy; 6/1 Ryan Giggs

You Bet Giggs And Beckham Will Be Rolling Back The Years This Summer

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

Craig Bellamy has let slip that he is reportedly one of the over 23 players who is being included in Stuart Pearce’s Team GB side. William Hill are now speculating who the others will be, making David Beckham and Ryan Giggs the two favourites. Beckham, who was so instrumental in getting the Games to London, is 1/6 to be included in the 18 man squad while Giggs is 4/7. Other names believed to be under consideration are Joe Cole (9/4), Steven Fletcher (6/1) and Chris Brunt (4/1).

“With a combined age of 75, it will take an Olympian effort for Giggs and Beckham to play every minute of every game in London this summer,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “But you don’t win gold medals with just effort and there is no doubting that the pair could well make the difference in London.”

Craig Bellamy is 100/1 to win this year’s Sports Personality of the Year.

To be in the GB Olympic squad:

Beckham: 1/6 yes; 7/2 no
Giggs: 4/7 yes; 5/4 no
Joe Cole: 9/4 yes; 1/3 no
Fletcher: 6/1 yes; 1/12 no
Brunt: 4/1 yes; 1/7 no

Mens Football winner: 15/8 Brazil; 9/4 Spain; 6/1 GB; 6/1 Switzerland; 8/1 Uruguay; 12/1 Mexico; 40/1 Japan; 40/1 South Korea; 50/1 BAR

Summer Of Spending At City…who Will Take The Poisoned Chalice At Liverpool…becks And Giggs Back Together

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

Despite winning the Premier League this season, Manchester City are on the lookout for signings that will strengthen their team even further and William Hill think that Eden Hazard, despite rumours Chelsea are his favoured destination, will be at the top of their shopping list. The Belgian is 11/10 to move to Manchester City this summer, while Robin van Persie is 6/4, Falcao is 11/8, Thiago Silva 13/8 and both Luka Modric and Hulk 15/8. Of the two best players in the world, City are 4/1 to sign Ronaldo and 12/1 to sign Messi this summer.

“Manchester City are in a position to sign just about any player they want, although it does not appear that they will aim for the crème de la crème, instead opting for slightly more realistic options,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Ryan Giggs has stated that he would love to play alongside David Beckham in the Team GB football side and Hills offer 2/1 that the pair start the first match of the Olympics for Stuart Pearce’s men (8/15 one starts and 4/1 neither do).

Every manager worth their salt appears not to want the Liverpool job at the moment and William Hill think that Roberto Martinez is the main man for the job and are now offering 11/8 that he is named as the next permanent boss at Anfield with Andre Villas Boas at 11/4.

“Liverpool do not seem to have the draw that they once did, whether that is because the targets they are going for would prefer Champions league football or whether they are worried about having to fill Kenny’s boots is hard to say,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Who will Manchester City sign this summer:

11/10 Eden Hazard
6/4 RVP
11/8 Falcao
13/8 Thiago Silva
15/8 Modric
15/8 Hulk
7/4 De Rossi
9/4 Sneijder
5/2 Chiellini
11/4 Eriksen
11/4 Kaka
3/1 Ibrahimovic
4/1 Giuseppe Rossi
4/1 Pato
4/1 C. Ronaldo
9/2 Neymar
5/1 Pique
5/1 Lahm
5/1 Robben
6/1 Ribery
7/1 Drogba
8/1 Rooney
8/1 Tiote
10/1 Iniesta
12/1 Messi
16/1 Xavi

Beckham and Giggs (both, one or none) to start first Team GB Olympic Game: 2/1 both; 8/15 one; 4/1 neither

Next permanent Liverpool manager: 11/8 Roberto Martinez; 11/4 Andre Villas Boas; 9/1 Brendan Rodgers; 10/1 Rafael Benitez; 10/1 Fabio Capello; 12/1 Louis van Gaal; 12/1 Michael Laudrup; 12/1 Frank Rikjaard; 16/1 Didier Deschamps; 20/1 Harry Redknapp; 25/1 BAR

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

Stuart Pearce has reportedly whittled down his Team GB shortlist to a mere 80 players and William Hill think that David Beckham, still in the list, has a great chance of making it, offering 1/10 he joins up with the squad and 1/2 he starts the first game. Despite the Welsh, Irish and Scottish FAs all being against the move, Gareth Bale is 1/16 to join the squad and 1/3 to start the first game.

“David Beckham was instrumental in the push to get the Olympics onto British soil and it would be an opportunity for him to sign off on a high,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

The double for both Team GB sides to grab gold pays 101/1 at Hills.

‘plastic Brits’ Could Be Hits At London 2012

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

Delano Williams is set to become the latest overseas athlete to try their hand in a Team GB vest and William Hill are offering 8/11 that he competes for Team GB at the Olympics in the 200m. Should he qualify, however, Hills think he will struggle to make an impression, offering 7/2 he makes the final, 33/1 he wins a medal and 200/1 he wins gold.

“Delano Williams is definitely one for the future,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “He is not expected to make much of an impression on the field at this Games, but it may not stay that way for long.”

Other so-called ‘plastic Brits’ who will be competing are Yamile Aldama (5/1 for triple jump gold), Tiffany Porter (10/1 for 100m hurdles gold) and Shara Proctor (16/1 for long jump gold).

Men’s 200m – Delano Williams
Qualify for Olympics 8/11
Final 7/2
Medal 33/1
Win 200/1

Yamile Aldama Triple Jump Gold 5/1

Tiffany Porter 100m Hurdles Gold 10/1

Shara Proctor Long Jump Gold 16/1

Bookies Pay Penalty For Balotelli Late Winner

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

Bookmakers William Hill were left counting the cost of Mario Balotelli’s controversial late winning goal for Manchester City against Spurs – ‘The difference between City winning the game and it being a draw was into seven figures for William Hill alone and must have cost the industry £5m+ as punters steamed into the Manchester double, pairing City to beat Spurs, with United beating Arsenal’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Fans Start Chamber-Layin Into Arsene

As Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain left the Emirates field to a chorus of boos, there hinted the first signs of dissatisfaction towards Arsene Wenger from the Arsenal faithful. William Hill offer 13/8 that Arsene Wenger is no longer Arsenal boss come the end of the season. Oxlade-Chamberlain is 6/4 to be in England’s Euro 2012 squad and 8/13 to be in Team GB’s Olympics squad. Danny Welbeck bagged the winner for Manchester United and Hills make him 2/1 to start the first game of the Euros for England.

“There was a real feeling of discontent around the Emirates as Oxlade-Chamberlain was taken off and the usually steadfast support of Arsene Wenger appears to be crumbling at the moment,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill make Manchester City the 2/5 favourites to win the Premier League, after their last minute penalty helped to maintain their three point lead over 9/4 Manchester United. Spurs however are out to 16/1 while another defeat for Arsenal has left them at 150/1.

With the two Manchester sides seemingly having sewn up a top four finish at least, the race is on to fill the other two spots, with Spurs 1/5, Chelsea 2/5 and Arsenal 2/1, while Spurs also lead the race to win the league without the two Manchester sides at 8/11.

Premier League winner: 2/5 Manchester City; 9/4 Manchester United; 16/1 Tottenham; 50/1 Chelsea; 150/1 Arsenal; 500/1 Liverpool

Top four finish: 1/5 Spurs; 2/5 Chelsea; 2/1 Arsenal; 7/2 Liverpool; 25/1 Newcastle; 100/1 BAR

Winner without Manchester: 8/11 Tottenham; 13/8 Chelsea; 13/2 Arsenal; 20/1 Liverpool; 250/1 Newcastle

Top London Club: 4/6 Tottenham; 13/8 Chelsea; 11/2 Arsenal; 100/1 Fulham; 200/1 QPR

Oxlade-Chamberlain to be in Euro 2012 squad: 6/4 yes; 1/2 no

Oxlade Chamberlain to be in Team GB & NI football team for Olympics: 8/13 yes; 6/5 no

Danny Welbeck to start England’s first Euro 2012 match: 2/1 yes; 4/11 no

Arsene Wenger still at Arsenal on the 1st game of 2012/13 season: 4/9 yes; 13/8 no

Beckham’s U-turn And Carroll Back To Geordie Shores?

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

Following the news that both David Beckham and PSG have pulled the plug on his supposed move to Paris, William Hill are now offering 4/11 that his next competitive game is for the LA Galaxy and 4/1 that he signs for any other MLS side. Should he move to England, QPR are the favourites to sign him at 12/1 with Arsenal 16/1. A return to Spain looks the most unlikely outcome with Malaga the favourites of the Spanish sides to sign him up at 25/1.

Hills offer 1/3 that David Beckham starts the first match for Team GB at the Olympics.

“In a full U turn, it looks like Becks will now be staying in America and more than likely, turning out for the Galaxy once again,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Andy Carroll has hardly set the world alight since his arrival at Liverpool from Newcastle and rumours are suggesting that he could well be returning to the North East. Hills make him 10/3 to return to Newcastle, whether permanently or on loan and Hills think that Darren Bent could well be on his way to Anfield, offering 9/2 that he signs for Liverpool in January.

David Beckham’s Next Competitive Game: 4/11 LA Galaxy; 4/1 Any other MLS team; 12/1 QPR; 16/1 Arsenal; 20/1 Fulham; 25/1 Anzhi; 25/1 Chelsea; 25/1 Malaga; 25/1 Man Utd…others on request

10/3 Andy Carroll to return to Newcastle in January 2012 (1/5 not to)

9/2 Darren Bent to sign for Liverpool in January 2012 (1/8 not to)

Wednesday’s Football

Manchester United are firm favourites to defeat Newcastle, despite losing to Blackburn and William Hill make them 8/11 to win in the North East. Newcastle are 4/1 and the game should signal the return of Wayne Rooney to the starting line up. William Hill offer 6/4 that his first action during the game is to score a goal while he is 4/1 to be booked and 40/1 to see a straight red first. Rooney is 15/8 to outscore Demba Ba during the game and 5/2 to outscore Javier Hernandez. The last time these two sides played, Manchester United conceded a highly controversial penalty and they are 11/2 to concede another.

“All eyes will be on Rooney as he returns to the pitch following his suspension and we think he could well find the back of the net,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Landon Donovan could return for Everton against Bolton and Hills make him 9/2 to open the scoring and 6/5 to score anytime. It is Even money for him to be subbed before doing anything else in the match, although he is 2/1 to score a goal before that.

What will Rooney do first vs Newcastle: 6/4 Score; 2/1 finish match; 11/4 subbed; 4/1 yellow card; 40/1 red card; 66/1 own goal

Rooney vs Ba (most goals): 15/8 Rooney; 10/3 Ba; 5/6 Tie

Rooney vs Hernandez (most goals): 5/2 Rooney; 11/4 Hernandez; 8/11 Tie

Manchester United to concede a penalty: 11/2

What will Landon Donovan do first vs Bolton: 1/1 Subbed; 2/1 Goal; 10/3 Finish match; 4/1 Yellow Card; 40/1 Red Card; 50/1 Own Goal

Hills Banking On An Olympic Year

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

(2012 Sporting Betting Specials)

Quite unsurprisingly the head of William Hill’s 2012 Sport’s Personality betting is dominated by Olympians with Jess Ennis the 6/1 favourite followed by Rebecca Adlinton, Mo Farah and Andy Murray at 10/1. Ennis is 6/4 to win gold in the Heptathlete and if she does so, she would seem to be a shoo in for the Award. Mo Farah is 2/1 to win a gold medal at the games. A man who may not be in the running for Sports Personalitybut may be in the running for an Olympic appearance is Dwain Chambers. Hills make him 1/2 to take part in the Olympics for Team GB and NI but with Usain Bolt odds-on, at 8/11 to win both the 100m and the 200m, gold would surely be out of his grasp.

“The Olympics is the most keenly anticipated British sporting event since the European Championships were here in 1996 and the fact that the top of our Sports Personality betting is almost exclusively Olympians, reflects this,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “Saying this however, that is not to say that there are no other exciting sporting events this year and we are looking forward to 2012.”
