Jose Mourinho: The Special One Or A Lucky Punter!

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

Jose Mourinho has been in charge of Real Madrid for nearly two months and it is almost time to discover if he is indeed the Special One. William Hill have opened a book of Real Madrid specials in anticipation of the forthcoming season. Real are 4/7 to win a major trophy next season (La Liga, Copa del Rey or Champions League) and 5/4 that they do not. Jose is 33/1 to scoop the treble. Despite Mourinho’s preference for defensive football, Real are 7/2 to score more than 100 goals this season and 5/1 to break the La Liga record for goals scored by a team (107 in 1998-9 by Real Madrid). The abject performances in ‘El Classico’ last season certainly did not endear Manuel Pelligrini to the Real faithful and Mourinho is 9/2 to win both Barcelona clashes. For no Real wins, Hills offer 5/4 and Evens that they win one. Should he fail, Hills offer 7/2 that he is out of the job before the last day of the season.

“For the first time in his career there is no hiding in Madrid for Mourinho. With the talent and funds available to him, it could be argued that Real will be expecting to win everything next season. Should he fail, it would be interesting to see if he receives more support from the board than his predecessors have,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Real Madrid specials:

To score more than 100 league goals – 7/2

To break the record for goals scored by a team (107) – 5/1

To win a major trophy next year – 4/7 Yes; 5/4 No

To do the treble (La Liga, Copa del Rey; Champions League) – 33/1

Vs. Barcelona: Number of wins – 5/4 None; 1/1 One; 9/2 Two

Mourinho to still be manager at the start of next season – 1/6 Yes; 7/2 No

50m Final Set To Seal £1bn World Cup Gamble

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

£50 MILLION FINAL SET TO SEAL £1 BILLION RECORD WORLD CUP GAMBLE

DESPITE England’s absence from the latter stages of the tournament British football fans are set to help swell the betting turnover on the World Cup towards a record £1 billion, while £50million is expected to be staked on Sunday’s Final between Holland and hot favourites Spain.
‘After England crashed out, patriotic football fans had to transfer their affections elsewhere – and they seem to have done so by placing bets on their adopted second favourite country. With England gone, they no longer had automatic loyalty to one country and therefore have used a bet to enhance their enjoyment of matches. And the enormous coverage given to Paul the Psychic Octopus has also kept the tournament in punters’ sights, so we expect a record industry betting turnover for both the Final and the tournament with £1bn and £50m respectively staked’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
SPAIN are 4/7 favourites with William Hill to be crowned as World Champions – thus justifying Paul the Psychic Octopus’ predicition – with Holland the 6/4 outsiders.

**A William Hill Manchester betting shop client stands to collect £424,000 if David Villa, now 8/11 favourite to do so, ends up as tournament top scorer after placing a £30,000 double on Holland to win their Group at 4/7, with Villa at 8/1.

**A William Hill telephone betting client could collect £275,000 for a £50,000 bet on Spain to win the World Cup at 9/2.

**Another Hill’s shop punter in Essex placed a £250 treble on Rafa Nadal and Serena Williams to win their respective Wimbledon singles tournaments, running on to Holland – and will collect £30,000 if the Dutch oblige.

**PUNTERS who have backed every Paul the Psychic Octopus tip so far are £84 better off by staking £10 to win on each one – and over £1000 if they reinvested winnings from each selection on to the next one!

Spanish Odds On Drift As Punters Go Dutch

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

*********WILLIAM HILL WORLD CUP SPECIALS**********

SPANISH ODDS ON THE DRIFT AS PUNTERS GO DUTCH
WITH PUNTERS APPARENTLY reluctant to back Spain to beat the Dutch in the World Cup Final, William Hill are to lengthen their 90 minutes odds to an industry-leading 6/5 for online and telephone clients from 7a.m on Friday morning. ‘Despite already taking bets of £10,000, £25,000 and £50,000 for Spain to win the World Cup, we cannot now seem to persuade punters to back Spain to beat the Dutch in 90 minutes, so, as they are a seven figure winner for us we are trying to tempt punters to support them – hopefully Paul the Octopus will tip them to help us out!’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

A William Hill Manchester betting shop client stands to collect £424,000 if David Villa, now 8/11 favourite to do so, ends up as tournament top scorer after placing a £30,000 double on Holland to win their Group at 4/7, with Villa at 8/1.

Another Hill’s shop punter in Essex placed a £250 treble on Rafa Nadal and Serena Williams to win their respective Wimbledon singles tournaments, running on to Holland – and will collect £30,000 if the Dutch oblige.

‘It has been a good World Cup for bookies thus far, with 52% favs winning , 27% draws and 21% underdogs, which doesn’t sound that great, except that the high turnover matches have tended to go our way – not least the England matches, and the Germany-Spain semi in which there were bets of 500,000 and 75,000 euros on a German win’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WILLIAM HILL now make Spain 4/7 favourites to win the World Cup, with Holland offered at 6/4.
Hills make Spain 6/5 to win in 90m with Holland 13/5 and the draw 11/5. (PRICES AVAILABLE FROM 7A.M.)

Hills offer 9/2 that the Final will go to a penalty shoot-out; Holland are 10/1 to win by that method, with Spain also quoted at 10/1. Holland are 11/1 to win in extra time, with Spain 9/1 to do likewise.

DAVID VILLA is 8/11 to end up as World Cup top scorer with Hills who also offer 5/2 Sneijder; 4 Klose; 14 Muller; 16 Forlan; 100 Suarez.

VAN BOMMEL FOR BOOKING?
WILLIAM HILL have cut their price for Van Bommel to be booked during the Final (90m play) from 9/4 to 13/8 after taking a string of bets of up to £600 a time on the tough tackling Dutchman to fall foul of the referee.

REPEAT FOR PUYOL?
AFTER Carles Puyol headed Spain to victory against Germany, William Hill offer 25/1 that he will score again from a header during 90m play of the Final.

FERNANDO PENALTY?
WILLIAM HILL offer 12/1 that Torres will win a penalty.(90m play)
ARJEN ROBBEN is 13/2 with Hills to score from outside the box.(90m play)

ROONEY-MAYHEM IN BETTING SHOPS AS WORLD’S BIGGEST GAMBLE UNDER WAY

ROONEY-MANIA is helping drive the biggest gamble of all time as punters bet over £1 billion on the outcome of the World Cup, say bookmakers William Hill, who have already taken bets of £60,000; $85,000; £110,000 and £200,000 on the tournament and now anticipate a £25m gamble on England’s opening match against USA.
‘No event has ever produced a betting turnover of £1 billion before – but that is going to happen at this World Cup – we have already taken mega-bets of up to £200,000, with that amount staked on an accumulator bet, with £110,000 bet on France and £20,000 on Germany, to win the tournament’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’England fans have gone Rooney-crazy with their bets, and we’re in trouble if he scores a hat trick against the USA’

And England have not been ignored by the high rollers, with two bets of £6500 placed on them at odds of 8/1. But nor have England’s first opponents USA, on whom one punter has staked £5000 at 80/1 to win the tournament.

ENGLAND are 4/9 favourites to get off to a winning start against USA with William Hill who make them 4/9 favourites to win the game for which the USA are 13/2 outsiders with the draw at 16/5.

WAYNE ROONEY is 5/1 to be sent off during the tournament and 25/1 to do so against USA. He is 10/3 to score the opening goal of the game; 10/3 to score the last; 4/5 to score at any stage of the game; 7/2 to score 2 or more; 20/1 to score a hat trick.
‘We have had to create a whole range of Rooney special bets to cope with the demand from punters’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WILLIAM HILL ROONEY SPECIALS…..6/4 TO BE SUBSTITUTED V USA; 2/1 To be yellow carded; 7/2 to score in both halves;4/1 to score with a header; 5/1 to hit the woodwork; 6/1 to score from outside the penalty box; 7/1 to win a penalty.

William Hill are also offering a 14/1 treble for patriotic punters this weekend. For it to come in England need to beat Australia in the Rugby Union, followed by beating USA in the World Cup and finally an English driver winning the GP on Sunday.
