ENGLAND WORLD CUP 2018 ODDS DRIFT

FOLLOWING Monday night’s Panorama programme, William Hill have lengthened their odds for England to win the 2018 World Cup bid from 9/4 second favourites to 3/1 third favourites. ‘While the programme did not seem to suggest anything which would have a direct impact on England’s bid there may be a public backlash against the conditions imposed by FIFA which, it was suggested, the Bid Team is prepared to go along with.’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’FIFA representatives may also not be that impressed by some of the allegations levelled against them.’

WILLIAM HILL NOW MAKE RUSSIA 4/6 FAVOURITES TO HOST THE 2018 WORLD CUP, WITH THE SPAIN/PORTUGAL BID 11/4 SECOND FAVOURITE, ENGLAND 3/1 THIRD FAVOURITE AND BELGIUM/HOLLAND 16/1 OUTSIDERS.

Double Hat-trick 33/1 As Dimmi Bags Landmark Goals…tractor Boys Keane To ‘swich Manager

Double Hat-Trick 33/1 As Dimmi Bags Landmark Goals

Dimitar Berbatov joined a select group of strikers who have bagged five goals in just one Premier League game and William Hill are offering 14/1 that five or more are scored by any player this season. For any player to bag a double hat-trick or more this season is 33/1 with Hills. Berbatov is now the 7/2 joint favourite with Carlos Tevez to be the Premier League’s leading scorer.

“Berbatov was absolutely outstanding on Saturday and his achievement came just a year and three days after Jermaine Defoe scored five against Wigan. With the ever increasing importance being placed on goal difference, it could well be sooner rather than later that we see a double hat-trick,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Tractor Boys Keane To ‘Swich Manager

Roy Keane is facing a difficult task winning friends at Ipswich after his side slumped to a disappointing derby defeat. William Hill are now offering 1/7 that he has left his position by the start of next season. The Tractor Boys are facing two difficult tasks this week in the shape of West Brom and Swansea and Keane is 7/2 to have gone by midnight on Sunday which, coincidentally is the same price as Ipswich losing both games.

“Despite a promising start to the season, Keane’s side appear to have been treading water of late. By his own admission, he said he would stand down after two years if he did not reach the Premier League and it looks like he will have to honour that promise,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Football Specials:

14/1 Five Goal Premier League Salvo scored this season (five or more)
33/1 Premier League Double Hat-Trick scored this season (five or more)

Premier League Leading Scorer: 7/2 Carlos Tevez; 7/2 Dimitar Berbatov; 9/2 Didier Drogba; 7/1 Fernando Torres; 12/1 Andrew Carroll; 14/1 Darren Bent; 16/1 Marouane Chamakh; 16/1 Florent Malouda; 20/1 Wayne Rooney; 20/1 Asamoah Gyan; 25/1 Nicolas Anelka; 25/1 Rafael Van der Vaart; 25/1 Johan Elmander; 33/1 BAR

Ancelotti will be feeling the strain again and Hills are 9/4 that he has left his position by the opening game of next season. He is also 7/1 to be the next manager to go.

Roy Hodgson’s Liverpool managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory and he is now 7/1 to be the next manager to leave their job. Avram Grant is the 10/11 favourite.

“It really was a fantastic weekend of football with upsets and plenty of goals. It may be a long time until we see another one like it,” said Hill’s spomkesman Joe Crilly.

Punters Celebrate 440/1 Premier League Accumulator… England’s World Cup Bid Going Down The Panorama?

Punters Celebrate 440/1 Premier League Accumulator…

William Hill’s ‘Will Both Teams Score’ coupon has proved a staggering success with punters since it was first launched in August 2009. For the first time since the coupon’s inception, Hills have had to pay out on all twenty Premier League teams scoring. Already, from a standing start, the bet regularly takes more money than perennial football favourite – the correct score.

“As the first mainstream bookmaker to offer the bet – and one of the few to offer customers the option of betting on whether individual teams will or will not score, we were optimistic that it would prove popular, but it has exceeded all expectations and is now even out-performing the correct score turnover,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

The bet is not just limited to Premier League fixtures and punters can supplement their selections with games from the top four English divisions as well as SPL and FA Cup ties as well. Despite the fact that Blackburn’s Christopher Samba had a face like thunder when he headed in his consolation goal against Manchester United at the weekend, William Hill punters will have been all smiles as he completed a clean sweep on Saturday. Punters who backed all 20 sides to score will be wanting to kiss Martin Skrtel (although how pleased he will be about it is another matter) who completed the weekend’s scoring by netting at both ends at White Hart Lane!

“This weekend was a real headache for us as the price for all twenty teams to score was over 440/1 but the coupon is proving a real success. Most other bets would have been dead when Blackburn were 7-0 down on Saturday but it still gave our punters something to shout about. We will be hoping for a different outcome this weekend, however, when the price is 555/1 for all 20 to score,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

England’s World Cup Bid Going Down The Panorama?

Panorama are set to broadcast their controversial show on the World Cup bribing scandal tonight despite claims that it could harm England’s bid to host the competition. As it stands Russia are the 4/6 favourites to win the chance to host the 2018 World Cup with England the 9/4 second favourites.

“At the moment England are the second favourites to host the 2018 World Cup but we are fully expecting their odds to change after tonight’s show. Which way they will go is impossible to gauge. Come tomorrow morning, England could either be back in with a shout or out of the running completely,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill World Cup 2018 Bid Odds:

4/6 Russia; 9/4 England; 3/1 Portugal & Spain; 50/1 Belgium & Holland

Sunday’s big match sees Liverpool take on Spurs at White Hart Lane and the fortunes of the teams two managers could not be any different. At the start of the season, both were being talked up as prospective England managers yet William Hill believe that Harry is safer than Woy and Hodgson is 2/5 to have left his job before Redknapp.

Two of the players who were key to Holland’s march to the World Cup final come face to face on Sunday and Hills are offering an 8/1 Double Dutch Bet – that Van der Vaart and Dirk Kuyt both score. Hills are offering 7/2 that former red Peter Crouch scores and Tottenham win by one goal.

Massive Gamble On Russia For 2018

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

In the last 24 hours, William Hill have seen a heavy gamble (including one bet of £2000) in the London area for Russia’s 2018 World Cup Bid and have subsequently slashed their odds from Even money to 4/6. This has pushed England’s odds out to 9/4 and Portugal and Spain’s bid is priced at 3/1. It is a long way since England were the massive odds on favourites a month ago and it now seems as if Russia have the upper hand with a decision imminent on Tuesday.

“As opposed to England, Russia seems to be attracting money at the right time and with decision day getting ever closer, it seems as if there is only one winner,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill World Cup 2018 World Cup Bid:

4/6 Russia; 9/4 England; 3/1 Portugal & Spain; 50/1 Belgium & Holland

Would You Adam And Eve It? Blackpool Braced To Lose Star Player

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

Following news that the Premier League have ruled in favour of Charlie Adam over his contract dispute, William Hill have opened a book on where he will be playing after the January transfer window. He is odds-on at 2/7 to remain at Blackpool after the League announced that the breach was not sufficient for him to end his contract. However, should enough bridges have been burned between club and player, the odds suggest that Everton will be sniffing around at 7/2. Liverpool are priced at 9/1 to sign the player in January.

“There is no doubting that Adam has been the stand out player for Blackpool this season and should this contract dispute have damaged relations between club and player, there will be no lack of clubs lining up to take him away from Bloomfield Road,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Blackpool are 5/6 to be relegated this season and 2000/1 to win the league.

William Hill Charlie Adam:

Charlie Adam’s Club After January Transfer Window: 2/7 Blackpool; 7/2 Everton; 9/1 Liverpool; 10/1 Bolton; 11/1 Rangers; 14/1 Aston Villa; 14/1 Stoke (others on request)
