WITHOUT A WIN FOR THREE GAMES, CHELSEA 8/1 NOT TO WIN ANY OF NEXT THREE….
WILLIAM HILL are betting on when winless-in-three Chelsea will next manage to come out on top in a match – and make them 8/1 not to do so in their next three games. ‘Chelsea currently face a mini crisis, but if they can’t win any of their next three it will become a full blown crisis’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
HILLS HAVE CUT THEIR ODDS FOR VILLAS-BOAS TO BE GONE BY 1ST GAME OF NEXT SEASON FROM 9/4 TO 7/4 – HE IS 2/5 STILL TO BE THERE.’Chelsea managers generally have a short shelf life if they don’t produce a trophy-winning season’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. Chelsea are 2/7 with Hills to win none of the four major trophies this season.

When Will Chelsea Next Win?
Blackburn (Away)4/9
Liverpool (Home)7/2
Bayer Leverkusen (Away)9/1
None Of These Games………..8/1

If John Terry Starts Against Blackburn Will He Finish The Game? Yes 1/10……No 11/2

TEVEZ TO START AGAIN FOR CITY?
WILLIAM HILL offer 6/5 that Carlos Tevez will start a competitive match for Man C before the end of the January transfer window, and 6/5 that he will not. ‘Mancini seems to be hinting that there could be a reconciliation, but how that would go down with fans remains to be seen’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Bad Kompany Costs Hills Dear

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

Late winner is six figure nightmare for bookies:
NOW UNITED ODDS-ON TO OUTDO CITY IN PREM

WILLIAM HILL have cut Man U from 8/15 to 1/2 to finish above Man City in the Premier League this season. City are 1/3 with Hills to end the season with one of the major trophies while United are 4/5 to do likewise – City are 500/1 to win all four major trophies, United 250/1.

But Hills – who were offering United at up to 18/1 in-play to come back from two behind to win – were left cursing the late winner gifted to United – ‘With seconds to go we were congratulating ourselves on a six figure winning draw – instead, seconds later we were looking at a six figure loser. So, as far as we are concerned it was a case of very bad Kompany costing us dear’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’We took a total of £960 for United at 18/1, including one of £100, then one online punter from Scotland was confident enough to stake £1000 on the comeback at 16/1, and another had £500.’

UNITED KEEPER De Gea was criticised for his part in City’s second goal, and Hills have opened a book on how many Premier League goals he will start this season, offering:

Hills… How many Premier League matches will De Gea start for Man Utd 2011/12?
29 or less…..6/4
30 to 32……4/1
33 or more…10/11

Hills…..Who will finish higher? Man Utd 1/2 Man City 6/4

Hills… How many Premier League matches will De Gea start for Man Utd 2011/12?

William Hill…To win Premier League…7/4 Man U; 3/1 Chelsea; 4/1 Man City; 10/1 Arsenal; 12/1 Liverpool; 66/1 Spurs. Others on request.

City Bring Home Bacon As Hills Regret Rasher Offers

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



Mancini triumph has Danish written all over it as:
CITY SLICKERS BRING HOME BACON TO LEAVE BOOKIES RUEING RASHER PRICES

WILLIAM HILL paid for their bold policy of offering the longest odds available for Manchester City to win the FA Cup Final in 90 minutes’ play. ‘We opened up at Even money in the morning and had to push the price out to 11/10 at one point as punters steamed into Stoke for a shock win’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘We were rewarded with over fifty four-figure bets for City in 90m, although of the tens of thousands of 90 minute bets, just over half were for Stoke.’Big bets for City came in from as far afield as Australia – where we took a ten thousand Aussie dollar bet for them – and Denmark – two, one, of 70,000 krone (over £8000) at 11/10 and another of 100,000k. It is fair to say we were made to pay for being top price – however, if one Manchester side caused us pain, another came to our rescue on the day, and United’s failure to beat Blackburn significantly helped to redress the balance over the afternoon.’

**A Hill’s internet client from Hertfordshire staked £2000 on City at 15/2 to win the FA Cup at the start of the season.

**PUNTERS also cleaned up on Hill’s 5/2 for Man City ‘ to win to nil’.

WITH CITY AND STOKE meeting again in midweek, Hills offer 8/15 the same outcome, with Stoke 4/1 to get some revenge and the draw 13/5.

MAN CITY ARE 11/4 TO PIP ARSENAL TO THIRD PLACE THIS SEASON.

HILLS…HOW MANY TROPHIES FOR MAN CITY NEXT SEASON?

NONE…2/5
ONE…..5/2
TWO……7/1
THREE…..50/1
FOUR…..500/1
PREM/FA/LC/CL(or Europa League)

**MANCINI – 2/5 STILL THERE 7/4 GONE
**TEVEZ – 5/4 STILL THERE – 4/7 GONE
