United now 9/4 for the Prem-Champions League double:
FERGIE 8/1 TO QUIT STRAIGHT AFTER CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL!

WITH MANCHESTER UNITED now within touching distance of a Premier-Champions League double, William Hill are not only quoting 9/4 that they complete that double, but also offer 8/1 that Sir Alex Ferguson quits as manager within 24 hours of the final whistle. ‘If Fergie could land such a memorable double at Wembley Stadium he may just decide that that would be a great note to bow out on’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

90m Match Prices – Barcelona 10/11, Draw 11/5, Man Utd 5/2
**Messi v Rooney who will score more – Messi 11/8, Tie Evs, Rooney 4/1 (void unless both start, extra time counts but not penalty shoot outs)

Fa Cup Fifth Round: Another Year Of Premier League Dominance Or Will It Be League One-derful?

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

With the FA Cup fifth round taking place this weekend, William Hill are offering odds of 2/1 that only Premier League teams are left in the competition for the quarter finals, while odds of 4/7 suggest that League One will be the lowest league represented in the Quarter Finals. Crawley Town are the only non league side left in the competition and Hills are offering 16/1 that the Conference is represented in the next stage of the FA Cup. Hills are also betting on how many Premiership teams will make it through to the FA Cup Quarter Finals and make Six or Seven the 8/15 favourite, while 66/1 is on offer for three or less.

“With so many Premier League sides in action against lower league opposition, we can envisage there being at least one or two upsets,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “There are three League One sides in action against Premiership opposition in this year’s fifth round and the odds suggest that it is here where we will see the biggest upset.”

Following Arsenal’s victory against Barcelona in the Champion’s League, William Hill are offering 150/1 that they win all four of the competitions that they are still involved in. Despite Arsenal and Tottenham’s victories this week, the main talking point of this Champion’s League week was AC Milan’s Gennarro Gattuso’s confrontation with Spurs’ Joe Jordan at the final whistle and UEFA are said to be looking into the incident. Hills are offering 7/2 that he gets a ban of eight or more games and 9/4 that the duration of his ban is three games or fewer.

“Gattuso has taken the sheen off a fantastic week for English football, but odds of 7/2 for an eight or more match ban suggests that UEFA will throw the book at him,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Gattuso Ban: 9/4 3 matches or less; 2/1 4 or 5 matches; 2/1 6 or 7 matches; 7/2 8 matches or more

Lowest League Remaining In FA Cup: 2/1 Premier League; 11/2 Championship; 4/7 League One; 16/1 Conference

Number of Premier League Teams In FA Cup ¼ Final: 66/1 Three or less; 7/1 Four or Five; 8/15 Six or Seven; 2/1 Eight

Premier League Teams In The FA Cup Final: 100/1 None; 9/1 One; 1/25 Two

150/1 Arsenal To Win The Quadruple

40/1 Arsenal/Spurs to contest the 2011 Champions League Final

World Cup Woe A Thing Of The Past, As Three Lions Set To Roar Once More

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

William Hill are expecting England to get off to a winning start to their Euro 2012 campaign and they are only 4/1 to score four or more goals, while England are 8/13 to keep a clean sheet. Bulgaria are Even money to score during the game.

The Three Lions are 3/10 red-hot favourites to win the game in front of the Wembley crowd, while Bulgaria are 10/1 to win the game.

Wayne Rooney is 11/4 to score first, while Jermaine Defoe, Darren Bent and Carlton Cole are all priced at 4/1 to be the first on the scoresheet. Hills are offering 6/1 that any player scores a hat-trick during the game.

England are 2/5 to win their group, while they are 1/12 to qualify for the tournament. Hills make England 7/1 to qualify from their group having won all of their games. England are the 9/1 fourth favourites to win Euro 2012, behind Spain, Germany and Holland.

“Now is the time for the England players to put the World Cup behind them and give the home fans something to cheer. The odds suggest that there will be cause for cheers rather than jeers come the final whistle on Friday evening,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Odds:

Outright: 3/10 England; 10/1 Bulgaria; 4/1 Draw

England First Goalscorer: 11/4 Wayne Rooney; 4/1 Jermaine Defoe; 4/1 Darren Bent; 4/1 Carlton Cole; 9/2 Steven Gerrard; 6/1 Theo Walcott; 15/2 Adam Johnson; 8/1 Ashley Young; 11/1 James Milner; 14/1 BAR

England To Keep A Clean Sheet: 8/13 Yes; 1/1 No

******************************WILLIAM HILL WORLD CUP FINAL SPECIALS*****************************

TORRES ODDS-AGAINST TO FINISH FINAL IF HE STARTS

WITH FERNANDO TORRES apparently desperate to play in the World Cup Final, William Hill make him a 5/6 chance still to be at Liverpool on the first day of next season. He is 11/8 with Hills to play the whole game, however long it lasts, if he gets into the starting line up, while Hills make him 4/1 to come on in or after the 81st minute and before the 90minute play final whistle, if he does not start. ‘Torres has not exactly enhanced his reputation during the World Cup, even allowing for his lack of match fitness prior to the tournament, and Roy Hodgson will be determined to keep both him and Gerrard’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WEBB’S WORLD IS A WINNER

HOWARD WEBB, who was backed down from 6/4 to 4/11 to take charge of the World Cup Final, is more likely to award a penalty than to send a player off in normal time at the Final, say bookmakers William Hill who offer 3/1 about the former, and 7/2 the latter. ‘Webb was well backed to get the Final,so he is the only Englishman to cost us any sort of World Cup payout’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WILLIAM HILL WEBB SPECIALS
Howard Webb to award a penalty during normal time 3/1
Howard Webb to send a player off during normal time 7/2
Howard Webb to send a player off at any time (including extra time) 11/4
Howard Webb to order a penalty to be retaken during normal time 25/1 (20/1 incl extra time)

All the below include extra time.
Uruguayan Ref – Howard Webb to miss an incident (and not award a goal) where the ball is clearly shown to cross the goal line 50/1
Russian Ref – Howard Webb to award a goal where the ball is clearly shown not to cross the goal line 50/1
Thierry Henry – Howard Webb to give a goal when a clear handball is shown to have occurred in the build up 8/1
Graham Poll – Howard Webb to issue any single player with three yellow cards 100/1
Howard Webb to be replaced as match referee at any point (extra-time included) 50/1

TO MAKE BBC TV SPORTS PERS OF YEAR SHORT-LIST – 16/1…TO WIN IT- 250/1

GOAL LINE TECHNOLOGY NOW ODDS-ON FOR WORLD CUP, SAY BOOKIES

WILLIAM HILL believe it is now an odds-on shot that goal-line technology will be in place when the next World Cup Finals get underway in 2014. ‘Having offered 5/1 about it happening after the Lampard fiasco we are now going 1/2 that it will be a done deal when the next Finals kick off’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

William Hill…..Will goal line technology be in use for the first match of the 2014 World Cup Finals?

Yes 1/2
No 6/4

**A William Hill Manchester betting shop client stands to collect £424,000 if David Villa, now 8/11 favourite to do so, ends up as tournament top scorer after placing a £30,000 double on Holland to win their Group at 4/7, with Villa at 8/1.

**A William Hill telephone betting client could collect £275,000 for a £50,000 bet on Spain to win the World Cup at 9/2.

**Another Hill’s shop punter in Essex placed a £250 treble on Rafa Nadal and Serena Williams to win their respective Wimbledon singles tournaments, running on to Holland – and will collect £30,000 if the Dutch oblige.

**PUNTERS who have backed every Paul the Psychic Octopus tip so far are £84 better off by staking £10 to win on each one – and over £1000 if they reinvested winnings from each selection on to the next one!
