When Will First Prem League Player Come Out ?

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

WHEN WILL FIRST PREMIER LEAGUE FOOTBALLER ‘COME OUT’?

England cricketer Steven Davies and Wales rubgy player Gareth Thomas have both come out in public as gay. But no current Premier Leaguer footballer has ever done so.
Bookmakers William Hill have opened a book on when – or whether- that will happen.
‘Statistically it is very unlikely that there are currently no gay players in the Premier League’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘But the question of when any current player will be willing to reveal in public that he is gay is one which is causing much discussion. We believe that the perceived problems which may arise for any player who does so may act as a deterrent and therefore think it is odds-on NOT to happen before the end of next season at the earliest.
‘However, the positive reaction to Davies’ recent announcement may well act as an incentive for a Premier League footballer to decide that the time is now right for him to come out in public’

WILLIAM HILL…When will the first current Premier League player come out in public?:

DURING THIS SEASON…………………..6/1
DURING THE CLOSE SEASON…………9/2
2011/2012 SEASON………………………..7/2
AFTER 2011/2012 SEASON……………..4/7

Fa Cup Flop Sees Moyes Cut For Chop

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

Everton’s defeat against Reading has left the Toffees with nothing to play for this season and has prompted a significant gamble on David Moyes to be the next manager to leave their club. He has been cut from 7/1 to 9/2 with William Hill.

“Moyes is very restricted at Everton and with nothing left to play for, he could well walk before he is pushed,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Chelsea secured a vital home win against Manchester United on Tuesday and eased the pressure on their manager, Carlo Ancelotti. He is priced at 9/2 (out from 7/2 before Utd game) with William Hill to be the next Premier League manager to leave their position. Should Ancelotti go, Hills are offering 15/8 that Guus Hiddink replaces him as the next permanent Chelsea manager while Didier Deschamps is 7/1. Frank Rijkaard and Jose Mourinho are both 8/1.

Their big money signing, Fernando Torres failed to score again, however and Hills are offering 10/1 that he fails to score in any of the next five games, although he is 4/7 to bag a goal against Blackpool on the 5th March. Chelsea are also in from 20/1 to 14/1 to win the Premier League although Manchester United are 8/13 favourites.

“Chelsea have often flattered to deceive this season, often recording a good win before falling back into poor form, but the win against United is the kind of result that could save their season and perhaps even Ancelotti’s job,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

William Hill Premier League Odds:

Outright: 8/13 Manchester United; 13/8 Arsenal; 14/1 Chelsea; 40/1 Manchester City; 100/1 Tottenham

When Will Torres score for Chelsea:
4/7 Blackpool (a)
9/4 Copenhagen (h)
10/1 Manchester City (h)
11/1 Stoke (a)
16/1 Wigan (h)
10/1 Fail to score in any of these games

6th Premier League Manager to Leave: 6/5 No manager to leave before the end of the season; 6/4 Avram Grant; 9/2 Carlo Ancelotti; 9/2 David Moyes; 7/1 Steve Kean (others on request)

Next Permanent Chelsea Manager: 15/8 Guus Hiddink; 7/1 Didier Deschamps; 8/1 Frank Rijkaard; 8/1 Jose Mourinho; 10/1 Pep Guardiola; 12/1 Martin O’Neill; 14/1 Jurgen Klinsmann; 16/1 David Moyes; 16/1 Rafael Benitez; 20/1 Fabio Capello; 20/1 Roberto Di Matteo; 20/1 Gianfranco Zola; 20/1 Gus Poyet; 20/1 Laurent Blanc; 20/1 Marcello Lippi; 20/1 Steve Clarke; 25/1 BAR

Arrested Developments: Cole Could Find Himself In Hot Water Once More

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

William Hill have reopened betting on the next Premier League footballer to be arrested following the news that Ashley Cole is likely to escape punishment for his air-rifle shenanigans. Cole heads the betting at 7/1, with another of football’s not-so-squeaky-clean luminaries, Joey Barton, 8/1 to be the next Premier League footballer to be arrested for a new offence. John Terry is the 10/1 third favourite.

“Ashley has been off the front pages for quite a while now but recent revelations have seen him return with a flourish. The odds suggest that Cole could become quite the rogue over the next few months ,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Hills have already paid out on Craig Bellamy and Jack Wilshere and could still find themselves paying out on Cole if he is arrested over the air rifle incident.

William Hill Next Premier League Player Arrested Prices*:

7/1 Ashley Cole; 8/1 Joey Barton; 10/1 John Terry; 11/1 Anton Ferdinand; 11/1 Jack Wilshere; 11/1 Mario Ballotelli; 12/1 Andy Carroll; 12/1 El Hadji Diouf; 12/1 Steven Gerrard; 14/1 Wayne Rooney; 16/1 Barry Ferguson; 16/1 Kevin Nolan; 20/1 Jermaine Pennant; 25/1 Frank Lampard; 25/1 Jermaine Defoe; 25/1 Rio Ferdinand; 33/1 Carlos Teez; 33/1 Didier Drogba; 33/1 Joe Cole; 33/1 Nicolas Anelka

*must be for a new offence starting from the 1st March 2011

Bookies Hail Gunners’ Multi Million Mix Up As Arsenal Odds On To Win Zilch – Again.

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

Arsenal odds-on to win nothing – again!
BOOKIES HAIL ARSENAL’S MULTI MILLION MIX-UP

THE Arsenal defensive mix-up which cost them the Carling Cup was worth £10 million to bookies. ‘We faced a seven figure payout had Arsenal gone on to win the Quadruple and as much again had they lifted the Carling Cup itself, so that defensive mix-up was a £10million bonus for the bookmaking industry’ said William Hill spokesman Graham Sharpe.’Punters had plunged cash on Arsenal as though defeat was out of the question – but Alex McLeish – and Ben Foster – found the answer.’
AND HILLS NOW MAKE ARSENAL ODDS ON TO ENDURE YET ANOTHER SEASON WITH NO TROPHIES. Hills offer 8/15 that the Gunners will finish the season trophy-less once more, but quote them at 80/1 to win the three remaining trophies they are contesting.
ARSENE WENGER is 9/1 with Hills to cease to be Arsenal manager by the first day of next season, but 1/25 to remain in place. ‘Just how long will the Arsenal fans remain loyal to Arsene Wenger if his trophy-less run continues’ asked Hill’s spokesman Sharpe.
