Wales’ Captain Fantastic Enhanced To Score First

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

Aaron Ramsey has been confirmed as the Wales captain for the match against England and William Hill have reacted by enhancing the price for him to score first from 16/1 to 25/1. This offer will be available exclusively online from 3 o’clock Thursday until kick off on Saturday.

“Aaron Ramsey does not have an awful lot of captaining experience, however, he will let his football do the talking and we are willing to reward our punters for having the same faith in him as Gary Speed has,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Carlo odds-on to leave Bridge before next term:
WILL HOULLIER AND ANCELOTTI MAKE IT TO NEXT SEASON?

WITH REPORTS that Carlo Ancelotti is set to leave Chelsea in the summer regardless of whether they win either or both of the Premier and Champions Leagues, William Hill quote the Blues’ boss at Even mone still to be in charge on the first day of next season, but odds-on at 8/11 not to be.’It would be a real shock were Ancelotti to win the Champions League, yet still be sacked’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

And Hills have also cut their odds for Gerard Houllier to be the next Premier League manager to leave his club this season from 6/1 to 7/2 – and the Villa boss is 6/5 no longer to be at the club on the first day of next season, but 8/13 to survive. ‘Houllier has yet to convince the fans he has come to terms with the job at Villa and with relegation threatening he is on shaky ground’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

HOULLIER STILL VILLA BOSS ON FIRST DAY OF NEXT SEASON – 8/13 Yes; 6/5 no

HILLS..NEXT PREM BOSS OUT THIS SEASON…6/4 No more to go; 3/1 Kean; 7/2 Ancelotti; Houllier; Martinez; 6 Mancini; 10 Grant; 14 Hughes. Others on request.

ENGLAND 4/6 TO BE SIXCESSFUL AGAINST WALES

England are 2/5 to win away at the weekend with the Welsh 6/1 to pull off an upset win. ‘These two games are crucial for both sides, and as England rugby union side discovered at the weekend, form can go out of the window in matches like this’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

When Will First Prem League Player Come Out ?

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

WHEN WILL FIRST PREMIER LEAGUE FOOTBALLER ‘COME OUT’?

England cricketer Steven Davies and Wales rubgy player Gareth Thomas have both come out in public as gay. But no current Premier Leaguer footballer has ever done so.
Bookmakers William Hill have opened a book on when – or whether- that will happen.
‘Statistically it is very unlikely that there are currently no gay players in the Premier League’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘But the question of when any current player will be willing to reveal in public that he is gay is one which is causing much discussion. We believe that the perceived problems which may arise for any player who does so may act as a deterrent and therefore think it is odds-on NOT to happen before the end of next season at the earliest.
‘However, the positive reaction to Davies’ recent announcement may well act as an incentive for a Premier League footballer to decide that the time is now right for him to come out in public’

WILLIAM HILL…When will the first current Premier League player come out in public?:

DURING THIS SEASON…………………..6/1
DURING THE CLOSE SEASON…………9/2
2011/2012 SEASON………………………..7/2
AFTER 2011/2012 SEASON……………..4/7

WILLIAM HILL offer 5/2 that Jack Wilshere starts England’s next competitive game , against Wales – and 8/11 that Darren Bent does so. And Hills have opened a book on how many of the starting line up against Denmark will start against Wales – making 6/7 their 8/11 favourite.’Wilshere made a favourable impression but is probably not yet an automatic choice for the England starting line up in competitive games’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

HILLS….TO START V WALES

You Bet: England Will Ring Changes After Carroll’s Debut Fizzles Out

You Bet: England Will Ring Changes After Carroll’s Debut Fizzles Out

England had the better of the closing stages against France, but could not overcome the two goal deficit that the visitors had amassed by the 55th minute. With a relatively untried formula and team on show tonight, William Hill believe that the England team that lines up against Wales will be a lot more recognisable and offer 11/10 that either four or five of the team that started against France line up for the Three Lions next competitive fixture. Hills offer 11/8 that three or less take to the field at the Millenium Stadium.

Andy Carroll showed glimpses of his quality in the 70 minutes that he was on although he is 2/7 to fail to start the game against Wales. He is 50/1 to be the leading scorer in Euro 2012.

Despite the minor setback of his first defeat at Wembley, Hills are odds on, at 4/11, that Capello leaves his post in 2012 and he is 10/1 to leave before the end of the year.

“Tonight’s game was not the most enjoyable of games to watch and with such an inexperienced team, it was always going to be difficult, however, Capello will surely ring the changes by the time the Wales game comes around and his side are still odds on to qualify for the Euro’s,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill England Odds:

When will Capello leave:
2010 10
2011 4
2012 4/11
2013 or later 11/2

Andy Carroll to start v Wales:

2/7 No
5/2 Yes

Andy Carroll to be top scorer in Euro 2012: 50/1

How many starters v France will start v Wales:

3 or less 11/8
4 or 5 11/10
6 or 7 7/2
8 or more 20/1

Euro 2012 Qualifying Group G: 1/5 England; 7/1 Montenegro; 12/1 Bulgaria; 12/1 Switzerland; 100/1 Wales

Ian In Rush To Replace Flynn Should Wales Wilt

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

Brian Flynn is taking charge of the Welsh side for their two Euro 2012 qualifiers on Friday and Tuesday but William Hill make him only 6/5 second favourite to take the job on a permanent basis. Should Wales perform well in their two games against Bulgaria and Switzerland, it would certainly not do his chances of getting the job any harm. William Hill are offering odds of 7/4 that Wales gain three points over the two games, 9/4 that they get no points and 20/1 that they get six.

Ian Rush, whose only foray into management was a short stint with Chester, is the Even Money favourite and Chris Coleman is 9/2 third favourite.

“Much depends on how well Wales fare over these two qualifiers. Should they do well, Flynn would be a shoo-in, although should Wales fail to perform, there are contenders waiting in the wings,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Wales Odds:

Next Permanent Wales Manager: 1/1 Ian Rush; 6/5 Brian Flynn; 9/2 Chris Coleman; 8/1 Terry Venebles; 20/1 BAR

How Many Points Will Wales Get In The Two Euro 2012 Qualifiers: 7/4 Three; 2/1 One; 9/4 None8/1 Four; 16/1 Two; 20/1 Six

Will Punters Pocket If Wales Suit Jackett ?

YOU BET JACKETT SUITS WALES JOB

MILLWALL boss Kenny Jackett has been backed from 20/1 to 5/2 favourite with William Hill to succeed John Toshack as permanent manager of Wales after a flurry of bets of up to £200 (struck at 8/1) a time. ‘Some substantial bets in Wales and Worcester, on what has been a quiet market thus far have sent Jackett’s odds tumbling – it wouldn’t suit us if he were to pocket the job – the stakes weren’t just buttons, we now face a five figure payout after this off the cuff gamble’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. Jackett has leap-frogged Chris Coleman and initial favourite Ryan Giggs in the betting.

WILLIAM HILL…..NEXT PERMANENT WALES MANAGER

Kenny Jackett – 5/2…..Chris Coleman, Brian Flynn – 3/1……Ryan Giggs,Mark Hughes, – 6/1….Gary Speed – 9/1….Martin O’Neill…16/1.
