Fa Cup Latest From Official Betting Partner Of The Cup

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

William Hill, the official betting partner and an official supporter if the FA Cup, have priced up some of the match ups and unsurprisingly make both Liverpool and Chelsea 1/16 shots to qualify from their ties. Hills offer 1/8 that the final is contested between two Premier League sides, 100/1 that no Premier League sides make it and 9/2 that one does.

With Stevenage and Crawley both making it into the draw for the fifth round, Hills are offering 5/6 that Stevenage concede more goals in their match against Tottenham than Crawley do in their match against Stoke.

“Crawley and Stevenage are going to be up against it, but the only thing predictable about the outcome of the FA Cup is that it is so unpredictable and we could see a couple of the proverbial banana skins,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

“I am really looking forward to the Liverpool/Brighton match as both sides play a similar brand of football and after the way that Brighton played against Newcastle, Liverpool could be in for a tricky tie,” said Gaizka Mendieta, speaking exclusively to William Hill.

Mendieta also selected a treble for William Hill picking Liverpool, Chelsea and Crawley Town all to qualify and Hills offer 17/10 that his predictions come true.

Fernando Torres is 10/1 to open the scoring against Manchester United and 7/2 to score anytime against the Champions as his goal drought continues. Wayne Rooney has back to back Premier League hat-tricks and Hills make him 33/1 to get his third on Sunday.

Man Utd points vs Chelsea: 4/1 six; 3/1 four; 9/4 three; 10/1 two; 4/1 one; 9/1 none

***************************WILLIAM HILL FA CUP SPECIALS******************************************************

YOU BET THERE WILL BE AN FA CUP SHOCK…BUT WHICH WILL BE BIGGEST?

William Hill have opened a book on what will be the biggest shock result from this weekend’s FA Cup games, selecting SEVEN matches which potentially could produce upset outcomes and asking punters to bet on which will be the biggest surprise result amongst them – or whether all seven fancied teams will progress.
‘The enduring appeal of the FA Cup is the anticipation of upsets, so we have selected seven potential turn-ups and are inviting punters to be on which will produce the biggest ‘FA Cupset’ or, indeed, that there will be none at all’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

*Bets settled on the ‘biggest upset’ ultimate outcome of these seven ties, as determined by the order they are listed, with Crawley potentially the biggest upset if they progress v Man U, and Burnley to eliminate West Ham as the ‘most likely’ upset.

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).

You Bet Title Is Chelsea’s To Lose

NOW TITLE IS CHELSEA’S TO LOSE

CHELSEA are now hotter favourites than at any time this season to win the Premiership title after Manchester United dropped two more points at Blackburn – Hills make Chelsea 2/7 favourites, with Arsenal now second favourites at 9/2, and United shunted out to 5/1 third favourites.
Hills believe that Sir Alex Ferguson may well stand down permanently as Manchester United boss in 2011 and offer 9/4 about that happening. ‘Sir Alex is unlikely to want to stay around and manage a side which is not competitive in the League or Europe and their last three performances have hinted that without a fit Rooney this United side is nothing special compared with previous United line-ups’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

William Hill…..When Will Fergie Go ?
2010 4/1
2011 9/4
2012 11/4
2013 9/2
2014 or Later 7/2
