WILL CESC HAVE FAB SEASON FOR GUNNERS?

WITH Arsene Wenger suggesting that Cesc Fabregas will play the majority of Premier League matches for Arsenal next season, William Hill have opened a book on how many games he will start, and make ten or fewer their 13/8 favourite. ‘Cesc’s future will not necessarily have been decided when the season gets underway so we are factoring into our odds the possibility of a move after the campaign has begun’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. ‘You can have 5/1 that he starts over 30 as Arsene Wenger appears to believe he should.’

Fabregas Premier League starts for Arsenal 2011/12

0-10 13/8
11-20 8/1
21-25 11/4
25-30 9/4
Over 30 5/1

*Must be an Arsenal player on the 1st day of the Premier League season or bets void

*Fabregas still at Arsenal on the 1st day of the Premier League Season 2011/12
11/10 Yes……….4/6 No

FERGIE ODDS-ON FOR BOSS OF THE SEASON

WILLIAM HILL make Sir Alex Ferguson 4/11 favourite to lift the LMA Manager of the Year title, wit Ian Holloway 5/2 second favourites. ‘The two favourites clash in the final match of the season and if Blackpool can survive there is every chance that Ian Holloway could be rewarded with the Manager of the Year accolade’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

HILLS OFFER 8/15 THAT AT LEAST ONE OF THE RELEGATION SPOTS WILL BE DECIDED ON GOAL DIFFERENCE.
Hills have also opened markets on how many of the five relegation-threatened sides will win at the weekend (8/11 ONLY ONE OF THEM DOES SO), which of them will score the most goals (2/1 WOLVES) and which of the games involving them will be the highest scoring match (7/4 MAN U-BLACKPOOL):

Hills Hammered By Goal Fest Prem

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

Every Premier League side playing scored this weekend, the second time that it has happened this season and cost William Hill over £1 million. A quarter of all football coupon bets every weekend are placed on Both Teams To Score coupon, which is still in its relative infancy, having only been introduced at the start of the 2009/10 season. Earlier this year, Hills were hit for another seven figure sum when every Premier League team scored.

“At the start of this season, the Both Teams To Score coupon accounted for around 10% of our football coupon turnover, since then, however, it has grown to around 25% of revenue,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly, “helped, no doubt, by the fact that the bet runs for the full 90 minutes of the match if you back both sides to score.”

This Weekend’s Both Teams To Score:
Blackburn / Manchester United: 8/11 Yes; 1/1 No
Sunderland / Wolves: 10/11 Yes; 10/11 No
West Brom / Everton: 4/6 Yes; 11/10 No
Blackpool / Bolton: 1/2 Yes; 6/4 No
Chelsea / Newcastle: 1/1 Yes; 8/11 No
Arsenal / Aston Villa: 10/11 Yes; 10/11 No
Liverpool / Tottenham: 8/11 Yes; 1/1 No
Birmingham / Fulham: 1/1 Yes; 8/11 No
Wigan / West Ham: 13/20 Yes; 23/20 No
Manchester City / Stoke: 1/1 Yes; 8/11 No

Zola Cut To Be Next Chelsea Manager!

Gianfranco Zola has been cut from 25/1 to 16/1 with Hills to become Chelsea’s next permanent manager following the news that he is being lined up as a coach by the Stamford Bridge outfit. Carlo Ancelotti is now 8/13 to have been relieved of his duties at Chelsea and Guus Hiddink is 5/2 favourite to take over with Jose Mourinho the 11/4 second favourite.

“A few years back, Gianfranco Zola was voted Chelsea’s best ever player, it now seems as if he could follow that up by becoming manager,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Next Permanent Chelsea Manager: 5/2 Guus Hiddink; 11/4 Jose Mourinho; 5/1 Pep Guardiola; 8/1 Andre Villas Boas; 10/1 Didier Deschamps; 12/1 Martin O’Neill; 14/1 Frank Rijkaard; 14/1 Jurgen Klinsmann; 14/1 Marco van Basten; 16/1 David Moyes; 16/1 Gianfranco Zola; 16/1 Harry Redknapp; 16/1 Rafael Benitez; 20/1 BAR

Spurs / Man City:

Hills are expecting a goal fest, when Spurs take on Manchester City in a game which looks set to decide the final Champions League spot. It is 4/1 for four or more goals to be scored during the match, in which City are the 19/20 favourites. Spurs are 3/1 while the draw is 23/10. Mario Balotelli is 5/1 to open the scoring, while Edin Dzeko is 11/2. Hills are 7/10 that both teams score during the game.

Manchester City / Spurs Odds:

Outright: 19/20 Manchester City; 3/1 Tottenham; 23/10 Draw

4/1 Four or more goals to be scored during the game

Both teams to score: 7/10 Yes; 21/20 No

******************************WILLIAM HILL FOOTBALL SPECIALS******************************************************

IPSWICH TO CONCEDE ANOTHER NOT-SO-MAGNIFICENT SEVEN?

WITH IPSWICH reeling from a seven goal drubbing at Chelsea in the FA Cup, William Hill are betting on how many goals they will concede in the two legs of the Carling Cup semi final against Arsenal – and make 5-7 their 11/10 favourite.
Ipswich may take a crumb of comfort from the fact that their last two semi final home legs at Portman Road have produced 1-0 home wins – but that eventuality is a 20/1 shot with Hills, while Arsenal are 1/10 to make the Final, with Ipswich 11/2 to get through.
90mins – 7/1 Ipswich; 19/5 draw; Arsenal 4/11.

Extra time included, but not penalty shoot-out.

8/1 DALGLISH TO SEE RED AGAIN

AFTER Steven Gerrard was sent off in Kenny Dalglish’s first game as Liverpool caretaker boss, William Hill offer 8/1 that any Liverpool player is dismissed against Blackpool on Wednesday night – while Hills also offer 100/1 that Liverpool again concede a first minute penalty.

NEXT PERMANENT LIVERPOOL MANAGER?….10/11 Dalglish; 9/2 O’Neill; 11/2 Coyle; 6/1 Rijkaard; 7/1 Rangnick; 8/1 Villas-Boas.10/1 Steve Clarke. Others on request.

WHERE WILL LIVERPOOL FINISH IN PREM?….top 4 – 20/1; 5th-7th 11/8; 8th -10th -13/8; 11th-14th – 3/1; 15th-17th – 10/1; Bottom three – 25/1.

GRANT NEXT FOR MANAGERIAL HAMMERING?

AVRAM GRANT is 1/3 favourite with William Hill to be the next Premier League manager to leave his club this season. Hills also offer 11/2 Houllier; 11/2 Ancelotti; 10/1 McCarthy; 16/1 Hughes; 16/1 Martinez; 20/1 Kean; Di Matteo; Mancini; No more managers to go this season. ‘Mr Grant has been favourite in this market on five different occasions so far, and managed to survive thus far, so he probably isn’t even popular with football punters in general, let alone West Ham fans at the moment’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

BECKHAM 5/1 FOR ENGLAND COMEBACK

WILLIAM HILL offer 5/1 that David Beckham will play any part in ANY England game during 2011 – and 8/1 that he will play any part in any COMPETITIVE England game. ‘Should he get to play a number of games for Spurs Beckham could yet increase his tally of England caps’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

**Hills offer 6/1 that Beckham will play for Spurs and score against Manchester United. (Bets void if he doesn’t sign.)

YOU BET KENNY IS THERE FOR LIVERPOOL LONG HAUL

KENNY DALGLISH has been backed from 13/8 to 10/11 favourite to win the manager’s job at Liverpool on a permanent basis following the club’s FA Cup defeat at Old Trafford. ‘Clearly the fact that his team conceded a first minute penalty, had their skipper sent off and failed to score has impressed punters, who haven’t wanted to back anyone else to get the job on a long-term basis’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

NEXT PERMANENT LIVERPOOL MANAGER?….10/11 Dalglish; 9/2 O’Neill; 11/2 Coyle; 6/1 Rijkaard; 7/1 Rangnick; 8/1 Villas-Boas. Others on request.

WILL KENNY FIND TORRES SCORING BOOTS?….With Kenny Dalglish declaring he can bring the best out of mis-firing striker Fernando Torres, William Hill are betting on how many Premier League goals he will score during the remainder of the season – and make 6 or less their 5/4 favourite. ‘Torres has not looked the same player for Liverpool since the World Cup, at which although he ended up on the winning side he was not over impressive. His form could be the key to the rest of Liverpool’s season’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WILLIAM HILL offer 1/5 that Liverpool will end the season in a higher position than their current 12th place, but still offer odds against Kenny Dalglish getting the job as boss on a permanent basis, quoting him at 13/8 to do so, with Martin O’Neill the 4/1 second favourite; Frank Rijkaard and Owen Coyle both 5/1; Ralf Rangnick 6/1 and Andre Villas-Boas 8/1, while Guus Hiddink and Manuel Pellegrini are both 10/1. ‘Kenny’s first game in charge was certainly eventful but the jury is still out over whether he is the right man to take the club forward on a permanent basis’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
