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

With the Premier League season just weeks away, William Hill are already speculating on which of the most endangered of species, Premiership managers, will be first to go. William Hill make Newcastle’s Chris Hughton the 4/1 favourite to bite the bullet, with big spending Man City 5/1 to give Roberto Mancini the elbow first. Elsewhere, Roberto Di Matteo is 11/2, Roberto Martinez 7/1 and Steve Bruce 8/1. The longest serving managers in the Premiership Ferguson and Wenger are both 66/1 outsiders and David Moyes is 40/1. No managers to get the sack all season is 40/1. Hills odds suggest that the season will see four or five manager casualities, is offered at 13/8.

“With the emergence of a big 7 in the Premiership, the pressure is on at both ends of the table, with points more important than ever in the hunt for glory. It could well be, that the pressure to win games becomes too much for some managers and there could be a few victims in the queue at the dole office by the end of the season,” said Hill’s spokesman Rupert Adams.

William Hill: How Many Premiership Managers Will Leave Their Post Before End Of 2010/11 Season?: 14/1 None or One, 3/1 Two or Three, 13/8 Four or Five, 9/4 Six or seven, 11/2 Eight or more

First Premiership Manager To Get The Sack: 4/1 Chris Hughton; 5/1 Roberto Mancini; 11/2 Roberto Di Matteo; 7/1 Roberto Martinez; 8/1 Steve Bruce; 10/1 Ian Holloway; 14/1 Alex McCleish; 14/1 Sam Allardyce; 14/1 Mick McCarthy; 16/1 Martin O’Neill; 20/1 Next Permanent Fulham Manager; 20/1 Owen Coyle, 25/1 Avram Grant; 25/1 Tony Pulis; 28/1 Harry Redknapp; 28/1 Carlo Ancelotti; 28/1 Roy Hodgson; 40/1 No Manager To Go; 50/1 David Moyes; 66/1 Arsene Wenger; 66/1 Sir Alex Ferguson

Spanish Odds On Drift As Punters Go Dutch

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

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

SPANISH ODDS ON THE DRIFT AS PUNTERS GO DUTCH
WITH PUNTERS APPARENTLY reluctant to back Spain to beat the Dutch in the World Cup Final, William Hill are to lengthen their 90 minutes odds to an industry-leading 6/5 for online and telephone clients from 7a.m on Friday morning. ‘Despite already taking bets of £10,000, £25,000 and £50,000 for Spain to win the World Cup, we cannot now seem to persuade punters to back Spain to beat the Dutch in 90 minutes, so, as they are a seven figure winner for us we are trying to tempt punters to support them – hopefully Paul the Octopus will tip them to help us out!’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

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.

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.

‘It has been a good World Cup for bookies thus far, with 52% favs winning , 27% draws and 21% underdogs, which doesn’t sound that great, except that the high turnover matches have tended to go our way – not least the England matches, and the Germany-Spain semi in which there were bets of 500,000 and 75,000 euros on a German win’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WILLIAM HILL now make Spain 4/7 favourites to win the World Cup, with Holland offered at 6/4.
Hills make Spain 6/5 to win in 90m with Holland 13/5 and the draw 11/5. (PRICES AVAILABLE FROM 7A.M.)

Hills offer 9/2 that the Final will go to a penalty shoot-out; Holland are 10/1 to win by that method, with Spain also quoted at 10/1. Holland are 11/1 to win in extra time, with Spain 9/1 to do likewise.

DAVID VILLA is 8/11 to end up as World Cup top scorer with Hills who also offer 5/2 Sneijder; 4 Klose; 14 Muller; 16 Forlan; 100 Suarez.

VAN BOMMEL FOR BOOKING?
WILLIAM HILL have cut their price for Van Bommel to be booked during the Final (90m play) from 9/4 to 13/8 after taking a string of bets of up to £600 a time on the tough tackling Dutchman to fall foul of the referee.

REPEAT FOR PUYOL?
AFTER Carles Puyol headed Spain to victory against Germany, William Hill offer 25/1 that he will score again from a header during 90m play of the Final.

FERNANDO PENALTY?
WILLIAM HILL offer 12/1 that Torres will win a penalty.(90m play)
ARJEN ROBBEN is 13/2 with Hills to score from outside the box.(90m play)

Webb Winner And Goal Line Technology

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

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

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

Paul The Octopus Punters Are £1400 Ahead Of Bookies

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

PAUL THE OCTOPUS PUNTERS ARE £1400 AHEAD OF BOOKIES

PUNTERS following the World Cup tips from Paul the Octopus have won up to £1400 by doing so, say bookmakers William Hill, who have taken so many bets on the sea creature tipping the World Cup winner that they have cut their odds for him to do it from Even money to 10/11.
‘If you had just bet £10 on each of Paul’s six successive winning selections on Germany or their opponents so far, you would have made a healthy profit of £84 – but if you had put the winnings from each bet all on to the next one, you would now be looking at £1400 of profit!’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
‘Punters are superstitious creatures at the best of times – and many have favourite tipsters they like to follow, but they tend to be human, so this is the first time we’ve genuinely had punters coming into betting shops and asking staff about the predictions made by an octopus.’

William Hill offer:
100/1 To become part of Fabio Capello’s staff .
100/1 Eaten by the German team on return from the World Cup .
1000 King Juan Carlos to confer Spain’s highest honour, the Order of the Golden Fleece, on the Octopus .
1000/1 Squidnapped by distraught German fans .

Bookies celebrate best winning World Cup game ever as:
PUNTER LOSES BIGGEST WORLD CUP BET OF ALL

A WILLIAM HILL telephone betting customer who staked a record 500,000 euros on Germany to beat Spain has lost his wager – the largest World Cup bet ever. ‘Not only did the 500,000 euro bet lose, but so did the 100,000 and 80,000 euro bets on Germany to win the tournament, and another 75,000 euro wager on them to get past Spain’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘Even though we have clients with £25,000 and £10,000 on Spain to win the World Cup we will be going into the Final celebrating the fact that Germany aren’t there. Germany losing that game made a difference of around £5million to us – it was almost certainly our best World Cup result ever. Now we’d like the Dutch to round off a fantastic tournament for us by beating Spain’ .

EVENS PAUL THE OCTOPUS TO PICK WORLD CUP WINNERS!

AND WILLIAM HILL ARE NOW OFFERING ODDS OF EVEN MONEY THAT PAUL THE OCTOPUS WILL TIP THE WINNERS OF THE WORLD CUP AFTER HIS LATEST TRIUMPH IN SELECTING SPAIN TO BEAT GERMANY. ‘Punters are keen to keep on the right side of Paul’s tips, so we are giving them the chance to bet that he’ll pick the winner BEFORE they even know which side he has opted for’ said William Hill spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WILLIAM HILL now make Spain 8/15 favourites to win the World Cup, with Holland offered at 6/4.
Hills make Spain Evens to win in 90m with Holland 12/5 and the draw 2/1.
DAVID VILLA is 8/11 to end up as World Cup top scorer with Hills who also offer 5/2 Sneijder; 4 Klose; 14 Muller; 16 Forlan.

WILLIAM HILL ; WORLD CUP SEMI-FINAL SPECIALS

GERMANS BACKED TO CAUSE PAIN IN SPAIN

WILLIAM HILL cut their odds about Germany eliminating Spain after heavy backing for them, including a single bet of 75,000 euros to do so at odds of Even money, which they have now shortened to 10/11.

GERMANY are William Hill’s least favoured winners of the World Cup. ‘We have a couple of hefty bets on the Germans – an 80,000 euros at 14/1 (which would win 1,120,000 euros); and another of 100,000 euros at 13/2 (which potentially wins 650,000 euros) – which mean that we’d rather see anyone else winning .’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

The biggest bet Hills have taken for Spain to win the World Cup is £10,000 at odds of 7/2 (potentially winning £35,000) in a Nottinghamshire betting shop.

DUTCH 11/8 WORLD CUP FAVOURITES

HOLLAND are now 11/8 favourites to win the World Cup with William Hill who make Germany 2/1, with Spain 9/4 outsiders of the remaining three. ‘Amazingly enough, Spain who began the tournament as clear favourites, are now the outsiders of the three sides remaining and Holland, despite winning all of their games are still odds against despite being the only one of the three actually in the Final, because of a huge gamble on the Germans’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
THE BIGGEST BET STAKED ON HOLLAND TO WIN THE WORLD CUP IS £5000 AT 10/1 WITH WILLIAM HILL – PLACED BY A GERMAN TELEPHONE BETTING CLIENT!
**Hllls offer 17/20 that Holland will face Germany in the Final and the same price that they will play Spain. ‘We cannot split the sides in the other final’ said Sharpe.

DAVID VILLA is 8/11 favourite to end up as the World Cup’s top scorer with William Hill who also offer 3/1 Sneijder; 7/2 Klose; 16/1 Muller; 20/1 Forlan.

MARA-GONER?

You Bet: Diego Is Not A Mara-goner!

William Hill have opened betting on whether or not Diego Maradona will still be in charge of the Argentine national team when they play their friendly match against Ireland on the 11th of August.

The bookies make him a 4-7 chance to be in charge of the team to play Ireland, and 5-4 not to be.

Ireland’s match against Argentina will be the first soccer international at the new Aviva stadium in Dublin. The stadium was built to replace the old Lansdowne road which was demolished in 2007.

‘Maradona was given a heroes’ welcome on returning home to Buenos Aires, and we think the support he received from the public is likely to persuade him to stay on,’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe ‘However, we are talking about Diego Maradona – who what goes through his head at any given time.’

‘Maradona draws huge media attention wherever he goes – so it would be great news for Ireland and the new stadium sponsors if he stays in charge.’

Will Maradona still be in charge of Argentina for their match against Ireland on the 11th August: (William Hill bet): 4-7 Yes, 5-4 No
