Youngster Kyle To Wait A While To Walker On For England

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

Kyle Walker is in line to make his England debut but the odds suggest that if the call to make an appearance does arrive, it will have to come off the bench. He is 5/2 with William Hill to start against Denmark on Wednesday while Glen Johnson is 1/4 to feature as Capello’s starting right-back. Fabio Capello has stated that Jack Wilshere is the future of the England team and he is 2/7 to start.

“There is no doubting Kyle Walker’s potential, but his call up has come very early in his career. Two weeks ago, we were still offering odds of 5/1 that Walker would win a cap within the next two years,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

A lot of attention will be focused on Capello’s strikers with Wayne Rooney likely to lead the line. The Man United striker is 4/1 to score first, while Hills are offering 9/5 that he scores at any time and England win. Tottenham appear to be the most likely Premier League side to provide England’s first scorer at 15/8, while Aston Villa are 9/4.

William Hill Denmark/England Odds:

21/10 Denmark; 13/10 England; 11/5 Draw

4/1 Any England Substitute to score

England First Goalscorer: 4/1 Wayne Rooney; 5/1 Peter Crouch; 11/2 Darren Bent; 11/2 Jermaine Defoe; 15/1 Gabriel Agbonlahor; 8/1 Frank Lampard; 8/1 Steven Gerrard; 8/1 Theo Walcott; 9/1 James Milner; 9/1 Ashley Young; 10/1 Aaron Lennon; 14/1 Jack Wilshere; 16/1 Stuart Downing; 20/1 Scott Parker; 25/1 Ashley Cole; 25/1 Glen Johnson; 25/1 Gareth Barry; 33/1 Gary Cahill; 33/1 Joleon Lescott; 33/1 Phil Jagielka; 33/1 John Terry; 33/1 Rio Ferdinand; 33/1 Kyle Walker; 40/1 Leighton Baines; 40/1 Michael Dawson

Rooney 25/1 For Golden Boot…chelsea Explode Back Into Title Reckoning

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

Wayne Rooney bagged a brace against Villa and William Hill are offering 25/1 that he can put his recent poor form behind him and end the season as the Premier League’s top scorer. United’s victory means that they are still unbeaten in the Premier League and Hills offer 7/1 that they can end the season without losing. Manchester United are the 4/7 favourites to win the Premier League, while Arsenal are 11/4. Chelsea are now priced at 13/2 having been as long as 12/1 just a couple of weeks ago.

“Chelsea have managed to find a bit of form in the last few games and coupled with the arrival of Torres seems to make Chelsea look like viable contenders once more,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “Rooney will be looking to continue the form of tonight and should he do so, there is a chance that he could be challenging the big boys for the golden boot come the end of the season.”

Manchester City are 17/20 to keep up the pressure on the top two against Birmingham, while Tottenham are 13/10 to win away at Blackburn. Liverpool will be hoping that their recent resurgence will continue and are 6/10 to record a victory at home to Stoke. New boy David Suarez is 4/5 to score anytime for Liverpool on Wednesday, while he is 10/3 to open the scoring.

William Hill Premier League Odds:

10/3 Birmingham; 5/2 Draw; 17/20 Manchester City
21/10 Blackburn; 23/10 Draw; 13/10 Tottenham

Premier League Outright: 4/7 Manchester United; 11/4 Arsenal; 13/2 Chelsea; 14/1 Manchester City; 66/1 Tottenham

Premier League Golden Boot: 4/7 Dimitar Berbatov; 3/1 Carlos Tevez; 10/1 Didier Drogba; 12/1 Fernando Torres; 14/1 Darren Bent; 16/1 Andy Carroll; 25/1 Wayne Rooney; 25/1 Robin Van Persie; 33/1 Rafael Van Der Vaart; 50/1 Johan Elmander; 66/1 BAR (1/5 Odds, Place 1,2,3)

7/1 Manchester United To Remain Unbeaten All Season

*********************************************WILLIAM HILL WEDNESDAY PREM SPECIALS******************************************

IF WOODGATE STARTS, HOW LONG WILL HE LAST?

WITH HARRY REDKNAPP contemplating starting Jonathan Woodgate on Wednesday night, William Hill have opened a book on how long he will play for if he does line up at kick off. ‘If Harry is thinking of starting Woodgate he must be confident that he is fit enough to do himself justice, so we reckon he should at least make it into the latter stages of the game and make 81 or more minutes our 4/7 favourite’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
When will Woodgate come off v Blackburn? (must start)

1st minute to half time (inc injury time)
10/1

46th minute – 60th minute
10/3

61st minutes – 80th minute
3/1

81st minute to full time
4/7

CARROLL’S ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT?

Andy Carroll has been cut from 7/1 joint favourite to 6/1 clear favourite by William Hill to be the next Premier League player arrested for a new offence following his move to Liverpool. ‘Carroll had his well publicised problems in Newcastle and as a high profile new signing will hardly be able to remain anonymous in and around Liverpool when he is out and about enjoying his social life’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Next Premier League Footballer Arrested For New Offence

6/1 Andy Carroll; 7/1Joey Barton; 7/1 Mario Ballotelli; 9/1 Jack Wilshere; 12/1 John Terry; 12/1 Anton Ferdinand; 12/1 Steven Gerrard; 12/1 El Hadji Diouf; 14/1 Wayne Rooney; 16/1 Barry Ferguson; 16/1 Kevin Nolan; 16/1 Ashley Cole; 20/1 Jermaine Pennant; 20/1 Jermaine Pennant; 20/1 Jermaine Defoe; 25/1 Rio Ferdinand; 25/1 Frank Lampard; 25/1 Joe Hart; 33/1 Nicolas Anelka; 33/1 Carlos Tevez; 33/1 Didier Drogba;

(Only these footballers count)

KENNY LOSE THE JOB NOW?

WILLIAM HILL have cut Kenny Dalglish from 11/10 to 1/4 favourite to become the permanent Liverpool boss following the two high profile signings he has brought to the club as Torres departed. ‘The fact that so much money was invested in making sure the club had strong replacements in place for the loss of Torres suggests that Kenny is in pole position to be confirmed as permanent boss’ said nHill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

HILLS…TO BE PERMANENT LIVERPOOL BOSS…1/4 Dalglish; 6 O’Neill; 10 Coyle; Rijkaard; 12 Deschamps; Rangnick; Villas-Boas. Others on request.

9/1 NO MORE PREM BOSSES TO GO THIS SEASON

WILLIAM HILL have cut their odds for no further Premier League manager to leave his club this season from 16/1 to 9/1 following the closure of the transfer window. ‘Obviously several managers are under pressure because of results, but at the moment most bosses appear relatively secure in their positions – even though Avram Grant is, for the sixt time this season, odds-on favourite to be the next boss to go this season’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘We have also seen a little support for outspoken Ian Holloway, backed from double figure odds in to 6/1 second favourite.’

NEXT PREM BOSS TO GO THIS SEASON…4/7 Grant; 6 Holloway; 8 McLeish; 9 None; 10 Di Matteo; Hughes; Martinez; 12 Ancelotti; 16 McCarthy; Moyes.

Jack The Lad: You Bet Wilshere Is New Premiership Wildman!

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

Punters who are tearing up their ‘next Premier League footballer to be arrested’ slips, following news of Jack Wilshere’s arrest, had best hold on. William Hill are not going to be paying out on the Arsenal starlet’s arrest as it was for an offence that happened last year. This means that the betting for second arrest of 2011 is still open. Hill’s have cut Wilshere’s odds from 11/1 to 9/1 to be the second footballer arrested for a new offence. Trio, Andy Carroll, Joey Barton and Mario Balotelli are joint 7/1 favourites.

“Jack’s rap sheet is growing at an alarming rate and he could soon be earning punters more money for his off field antics than he does playing football,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Last week, Hill’s paid out on Craig Bellamy being the first Premier League arrest of the season. Despite playing for Cardiff, his registration is still held by Manchester City.

Second Premier League Footballer Arrested For New Offence: 7/1 Andy Carroll; 7/1 Joey Barton; 7/1 Mario Ballotelli; 9/1 Jack Wilshere; 11/1 John Terry; 11/1 Anton Ferdinand; 12/1 Steven Gerrard; 12/1 El Hadji Diouf; 14/1 Wayne Rooney; 16/1 Barry Ferguson; 16/1 Kevin Nolan; 16/1 Ashley Cole; 20/1 Jermaine Pennant; 20/1 Jermaine Pennant; 20/1 Jermaine Defoe; 25/1 Rio Ferdinand; 25/1 Frank Lampard; 25/1 Joe Hart; 33/1 Nicolas Anelka; 33/1 Carlos Tevez; 33/1 Didier Drogba

It’s A Fair Cop! Bookies Pay Out At 16/1 As Bellamy Arrested!

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

Craig Bellamy has once again won punters a long-odds payout, after he became the first Premier League player of 2011 to be arrested – a 16/1 chance to add to his 100/1 stunner when, playing for Liverpool, he marked scoring a goal by making a ‘golf-swing’ celebration shortly after being accused of hitting a team-mate with a golf club.

“Bellamy has proved very punter-friendly for those gambling on off-beat football betting markets.” Hills have reopened their market on the next Premier League footballer to be arrested. “It could become as popular as the next manager to lose his job,” said Hill’s spokesman “and we are making Joey Barton and Andy Carroll 7/1 joint favourites.”

William Hill Next Premier League Footballer To Be Arrested

7/1 Andy Carroll; 7/1 Joey Barton; 8/1 Mario Balotelli; 9/1 Anton Ferdinand; 9/1 John Terry; 10/1 Jack Wilshere; 10/1 Steven Gerrard; 10/1 Wayne Rooney; 12/1 El Hadji Diouf; 14/1 Barry Ferguson; 14/1 Kevin Nolan; 14/1 Rio Ferdinand; 16/1 Ashley Cole; 16/1 Frank Lampard; 16/1 Jermaine Pennant; 16/1 Joe Hart; 20/1 Jermain Defoe; 20/1 Nicolas Anelka; 25/1 Carlos Tevez; 25/1 Craig Gordon; 33/1 Didier Drogba; 40/1 Peter Crouch; 50/1 Gareth Bale

MANCHESTER UNITED SPECIALS…….
Hernandez 11/10 to outscore Rooney, as:
UNITED 12/1 TO STAY UNBEATEN AND 10/11 TO PROVE STRONGER IN SECOND HALF OF SEASON

WITH MANCHESTER UNITED still unbeaten in the Premier League, William Hill have opened a book on how many games they will lose during the season and make them 12/1 to go unbeaten throughout, and 4/1 to lose five or more games. And Hills are also backing Alex Ferguson’s belief that United traditionally do better in the second half of the season, by making them 10/11 to clock up more points in their last 19 games than the first 19 in which they collected 41 points.

With Hernandez threatening to keep Wayne Rooney out of the United side if he continues to score regularly, Hills make the Mexican 11/10 to out score Rooney in terms of Prem goals this season.

‘The United to remain unbeaten bandwagon is rolling now, but we are sceptical that they will manage to match Arsenal’s unique Premiership achievement of an unbeaten campaign, but it is quite possible that United will fulfill Sir Alex’s prediction of a more successful second half of the season – and Hernandez looks well capable of embarrassing Rooney by out-scoring him’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Will Man Utd better their points haul from the first half of the season?

How Will Rooney Hit The Barn Door And When Will Chelsea Win?

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

Wayne Rooney and Didier Drogba both missed penalties last week and William Hill are offering 16/1 that any player misses a penalty during the Chelsea/Manchester United game on Sunday. Rooney’s miss was just another in a catalogue of “barn-door” moments and Hills are taking bets on how Rooney’s next goal will come about. The 4/7 favourite is for him to score a shot from inside the box with Hills offering 9/2 for a shot from outside the area. Should he be allowed to take another penalty, he is 5/1 to bag his next goal from the spot. Fortunately Rooney’s miss came as United were already in the lead and they eventually went on to win the game.

Chelsea on the other hand, seem to be going through a rather sticky patch at the moment and Hills are offering 6/5 that their next victory comes against Manchester United and 7/2 that it comes against Arsenal.

“As far as Chelsea’s title aspirations go, the next two games are vital. Anything less than a three point return and they may as well wave goodbye to the Premier League trophy,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

The early kick off on Saturday sees Bolton visit the Stadium of Light in a matchup between two of the Premier League’s surprise packages. The two sides sit in sixth and seventh and Hills are offering 13/8 that one of the pair play some form of European football next season and 16/1 that they both do. Sunderland are the 6/5 favourites to win, while the visitors are 12/5. The draw is 11/5.

“Sunderland and Bolton have been a refreshing change to the normal predictability of the league this season. In Bruce and Coyle they have two of the finest up and coming British managers and a European tour would be no less than their efforts so far deserve,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Arsenal have been drawn against Barcelona in the Champions League and as a result, Hills have cut their price to end the season without a trophy from 15/8 to 7/4. Arsene Wenger is also 4/1 to have left Arsenal by the first game of next season.

The Ghosts Of Managers Past and Present

William Hill have opened betting on who will be the first of the terrible trio (Hodgson, Benitez and Houllier) will leave their job first. Benitez is the Even money favourite, while Hodgson is 6/4 and Houllier is 7/2.

“Liverpool have a history of producing great managers: Shankley, Paisley, Dalglish et al, but their recent managers have not and are not living up to their predecessors’ high standards. One or more of the threesome may have to get used to walking alone sooner rather than later,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Weekend Specials:

Fergie’s Old Boys (who will get the sack first?): Keane 1/4; Bruce 11/2; Hughes 5/1
Liverpool past and present (who will get the sack first?): Hodgson 6/4 ; Benitez EVS; Houllier 7/2
Sunderland OR Bolton to qualify for Europe. 13/8
Sunderland AND Bolton to qualify for Europe. 16/1
Will Arsene Wenger be at Arsenal on the first game of next season: 1/7 Yes; 4/1 No
7/4 Arsenal end the 2010/11 season without a trophy

When will Chelsea next win?
Man Utd (H)
6/5

Arsenal (A)
7/2

Bolton (H)
7/4

Aston Villa (H)
11/1

Wolves (A)
25/1

None of these
33/1

Method of Next Rooney Goal: 4/7 shot from inside the box (excluding header & penalty); 9/2 Shot from outside the box (excluding header or free kick); 5/1 Penalty; 6/1 Header; 12/1 Direct from free kick.

16/1 – A penalty is missed during the Manchester United/Chelsea game
