Jose Mourinho: The Special One Or A Lucky Punter!

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

WEBB’S WORLD IS A WINNER

HOWARD WEBB, who was backed down from 6/4 to 4/11 to take charge of the World Cup Final, is more likely to award a penalty than to send a player off in normal time at the Final, say bookmakers William Hill who offer 3/1 about the former, and 7/2 the latter. ‘Webb was well backed to get the Final,so he is the only Englishman to cost us any sort of World Cup payout’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WILLIAM HILL WEBB SPECIALS
Howard Webb to award a penalty during normal time 3/1
Howard Webb to send a player off during normal time 7/2
Howard Webb to send a player off at any time (including extra time) 11/4
Howard Webb to order a penalty to be retaken during normal time 25/1 (20/1 incl extra time)

Thierry Henry – Howard Webb to give a goal when a clear handball is shown to have occurred in the build up 8/1

GOAL LINE TECHNOLOGY NOW ODDS-ON FOR WORLD CUP, SAY BOOKIES

WILLIAM HILL believe it is now an odds-on shot that goal-line technology will be in place when the next World Cup Finals get underway in 2014. ‘Having offered 5/1 about it happening after the Lampard fiasco we are now going 1/2 that it will be a done deal when the next Finals kick off’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

William Hill…..Will goal line technology be in use for the first match of the 2014 World Cup Finals?

Yes 1/2
No 6/4

**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!

William Hill believe Roy Hodgson has almost no chance of winning anything with Liverpool in his first season – and make the Anfield side 1/7 to end up with nothing.’To turn them from last season’s mediocrities into new season marvels will test even Hodgson’s plentiful powers – we think a trophy blank is almost a certainty’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, adding, ‘Our betting suggests 5th or 6th in the Premiership with more points than last season is the most likely outcome for Liverpool’.

Rooney Sparks £1bn Gamble

ROONEY SPARKS £1 BILLION GAMBLE

PATRIOTIC PUNTERS backing England to bring the World Cup home have sparked the biggest gamble of all time, say bookmakers William Hill.
‘Over £1 billion will be gambled on the World Cup, making it bigger than the Grand National, General Election, Wimbledon , or Big Brother’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
And the nightmare scenario for bookies will be an England win – after a huge patriotic punt left betting shops facing mega payouts should England finally break their run of 44 years without a major trophy.
‘Despite Rio’s terrible injury we have been knocked over in the rush to back England to win the tournament at 8/1 today’added Sharpe.’Punters believe Rooney is the key to victory and are backing him to be England’s top scorer at 11/8 and the tournament’s top scorer at 10/1’
WILLIAM HILL make Spain 4/1 favourites to win the World Cup, and also offer 9/2 Brazil; 13/2 Argentina; 8/1 England; 10/1 Holland; 14/1 Germany; 16/1 Italy; 18/1 France.

8/1 England Won’t Win World Cup – William Hill

‘WE DON’T THINK 8/1 ENGLAND WILL WIN WORLD CUP’ SAY BOOKIES

BOOKMAKERS William Hill have pushed England out to the longest odds they have been since qualifying for the World Cup and quote them at 8/1 to bring home the trophy. ‘We’re not saying England CAN’T win the World Cup, but we’re pretty sure they won’t, so are looking to take as much money for them as possible at the industry leading price of 8/1’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
‘The regular patriotic punt on England at Euros and World Cups always gives us mega-liabilities – but it has been 44 years now since they landed one of these gambles so we are prepared to stick to our 8/1 offer- after all,we’ve had nearly half a century to save up in case they do finally manage to win again!’
Hills expect a record £1 billion+ to be gambled on the World Cup.

LATEST WILLIAM HILL WORLD CUP ODDS….4/1 Spain; 9/2 Brazil; 13/2 Argentina; 8/1 England; 10/1 Holland; 14/1 Germany; 16/1 Italy; 18/1 France; 25/1 Portugal; 40/1 Ivory Coast.

Is Arsene Gunner Go ?

YOU BET ARSENE’S GUNNER GO !

AFTER Arsenal’s dramatic 3-2 defeat at Wigan, William Hill have cut their odds for Arsene Wenger to leave the club before the start of next season from 4/1 to 7/2. ‘That defeat has confirmed that Arsenal will endure yet another trophy-less season and may well put Arsene Wenger’s tactics and team selection under close scrutiny. Odd things tend to happen at ‘Big Four’ clubs which have been unsuccessful for a number of campaigns’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘However, the good news for Wenger-fans is that we still rate him a hot favourite at 1/6 to remain with the club.
THE TITLE RACE is now between 4/7 favourites and 11/8 shots Manchester United, with William Hill offering 9/2 that the title is decided on goal difference, and 33/1 that the two finish level on points AND goal difference.
