WILLIAM HILL make Chlesea 9/4 favourites to remain undefeated longer than any other Premier League side this season. ‘Although Chelsea are the title holders and have made a phenomenal start to the campaign, they face plenty of competition from the eight other currently unbeaten sides in this market.’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

DROGBA FAVOURITE FOR PFA PLAYER OF YEAR

WITH THE season now well underway, William Hill have opened their book on who will win the PFA Player of the Year Award and have installed Didier Drogba as 9/2 favourite. ‘This looks like being a very open year, with some regularly fancied players such as Wayne Rooney and Steven Gerrard having made only minimal early impact, while some younger contenders like Joe Hart and Andy Carroll are already threatening to gatecrash the party’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

MAN CITY are now 13/2 to win the Premier League title – and 11/8 to finish above United. ‘City’s display against Liverpool suggested they will be serious title contenders and that United may be hard-pressed to finish above them this season’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
But Hills now make Liverpoool odds-against at 7/4 to finish in the top four this season, and 2/5 not to. ‘All the indications are that Roy Hodgson is going to have his work cut out to restore Liverpool to the top four’ added Sharpe.

Rooney 9/2 To Score First Goal In Win Against Fulham

ROONEY 4/5 TO BREAK GOAL DROUGHT AS PUNTERS BET HE WON’T!

WILLIAM HILL have cut their odds from 12/1 to 7/1 for Wayne Rooney to fail to score in United’s next four Premier League matches against Fulham, West Ham, Everton and Liverpool (must start v Fulham for bets to stand). ‘Punters appear to be of the opinion that Rooney’s goal drought could well drag on for a few games yet – and are betting that way’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills offer 4/5 that Rooney WILL score against Fulham should he start; 15/8 that his next goal will come against West Ham; 15/2 against Everton; 12/1 against Liverpool.
Rooney is 10/11 NOT to score against Fulham if he starts the game.
HILLS OFFER 9/2 THAT ROONEY WILL SCORE THE FIRST GOAL AND UNITED WILL WIN THE GAME.

8/1 TWO OR MORE REDS IN SUNDAY PREM MATCHES

WILLIAM HILL are betting on how many red cards will be awarded during Sunday’s two Premier League matches, and offer 1/2 that there will be NONE; 6/4 just ONE; and 8/1 TWO or more.
Hills are also betting on how many goals the two games produce, and offer 7/4 FOUR or under; 13/8 FIVE or SIX; 13/8 SEVEN or more.

Paul The Octopus And Premier League Specials

PAUL THE OCTOPUS TIPPING ENGLAND AT LAST!

William Hill have trimmed the price of England being chosen to host the 2018 World Cup from 11/10 to Even money after support for the bid following Paul the Octopus’ prediction that they will win the bid. Hills think that the biggest danger to the England bid will be Russia at 7/4, with Spain & Portugal 9/2 then 12/1 Belgium & Holland.’After Paul’s sensational success during the World Cup itself many punters who profited from his predictions there genuinely seem to believe that he is infallible.’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

PUNTERS PILE ON ROONEY DROUGHT TO CONTINUE

WILLIAM HILL have cut their odds for Wayne Rooney’s goal drought to continue into Manchester United’s match at Fulham this weekend from 6/5 to 10/11. ‘We put up 6/5 for Wayne to fail to score against Fulham initially, but have been forced to trim that to 10/11 after some one-sided betting. We are now 4/5 from 8/13 that he WILL score’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Hills have also cut 30,000 – 39,999 from 66/1 to 3/1, and a humiliating 20,000- 29,999 from 100/1 to 16/1. ‘The FA are pulling out all the stops to encourage a decent turnout for this game,but with most clubs wishing it wasn’t happening and fans having shelled out for club season tickets, and following such a dismal World Cup performance, punters have decided a low turnout is a certainty’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Bookies Running Scared Of Blackpool

BOOKIES RUNNING SCARED OF BLACKPOOL
BLACKPOOL fans have staked so many bets on their side to WIN the Premier League title this season that William Hill have had to slash their odds by a record EIGHT THOUSAND points in their betting – and now offer them at 2000/1 to win the title, having opened their book at 10,000/1. ‘We now face our biggest ever Premier League loss of OVER £5million if Blackpool somehow manage to win the League after hundreds of fans backed their side -albeit none of them risked more than a tenner’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’We won’t be losing much sleep over the prospect of that five million loss – at least, not until Blackpool win their first half dozen matches!’
Meanwhile, Hills say that they are in the bizarre position of wanting the reigning champions to do well this season, as they have taken very little cash for Chelsea to win the title again – and they currently represent the BEXT possible outcome for them. ‘We will win a hefty sum if Chelsea retain the title as the betting stands at the moment’ added Sharpe.
The second worst result for Hills would be a title triumph for Aston Villa – ‘most of those bets were struck before O’Neill walked out’- while Manchester United would be the third worst result for them, as they have attracted the largest bets so far – one of £10,000 from a Glasgow-based punter and a £6000 bet from a Norwich client.

Rooney 12/1 not to score for England in next 4 games:
WHEN WILL ROONEY SCORE AGAIN FOR ENGLAND?
WILLIAM HILL offer 12/1 that Wayne Rooney will fail to score for England in any of their next four matches. ‘Rooney is overdue an England goal and we make him 8/13 to get one or more against Bulgaria in the next game but he is 12/1 to continue his drought for the next four England games’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. Hills also offer 9/2 that Rooney will NOT start the game against Bulgaria – 1/8 that he will do.

WILLIAM HILL have opened a book on which players might get the nod to start England’s friendly against Hungary next week, and make Joe Hart 2/9 to be between the sticks when the game kicks off – although the Man City custodian is NOT favourite to start in goal for his club’s opening Premier League game, with Hills making Shay Given 4/7 to start that game with Hart at 5/4. ‘Hart is in the unusual position of being expected to be first choice for his country yet under-study at his club’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Hills make Jack Wilshere a 7/2 shot to start against Hungary, with Darren Bent 5/1 to start up front. ‘Wilshere’s price might tempt Arsene Wenger to have a flutter’ said Sharpe.
