PODOLSKI ODDS-ON TO BECOME A GUNNER

WILLIAM HILL are offering odds of 4/7 that Cologne and Germany striker Lukas Podolski will have joined Arsenal by day one of the next Premier League season – and 5/4 that he does not. But if he does arrive there he may find that Robin Van Persie has departed – after the in-form striker was backed from Even money to 5/6 with Hills to have left the club by the start of the next campaign, and lengthened from 8/11 to Evens still to be there. Boss Arsene Wenger is 2/5 still to be in charge on day one, 7/4 not to.
Hills are also betting on how many goals RVP will chalk up in the Prem this season – and make him 11/4 to set a new record of 35 or more. He is 14/1 to end up with 25; 6/1 26/27; 3/1 28/29; 3/1 30/31; 11/4 32/33; 5/2 34.

**Kenny Dalglish played down rumours of Luis Suarez joining PSG, and Hills make the player 1/5 still to be at Anfield next season, but 10/3 to depart before then.

YOU BET NO MORE PREM BOSSES WILL GO THIS SEASON…

WILLIAM HILL offer 13/8 that no more Premier League managers will leave their clubs before the end of the season, but Steve Kean is 9/2 to be the next to do so this campaign while Hills also offer 5/1 Coyle; Martinez; 6 McLeish; 16 Redknapp. Others on request.

NEXT PERMANENT CHELSEA BOSS….7/4 Jose Mourinho; 4/1 Rafa Benitez; 6/1 Pep Guardiola 8/1 RDM; 9/1 Joachim Low; Fabio Capello.

You Bet Manchester Sides Will Bounce Back With Victory On Sunday

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

After their joint defeats in the Europa League on Thursday, Manchesters United and City will be hoping to get back to winning ways on Sunday although William Hill are offering 60/1 that both sides lose against West Brom and Swansea. In all reality, the two sides are big favourites to win with United 1/3 to win and City 4/6. Hills think that the home advantage Manchester United have will enable them to have an easier time of things, with the match Even money to see the most goals on Sunday.

Manchester City are 1/18 to be top of the table come Monday morning and only a defeat in all reality could see United overtake them (15/2 for United to sit top of the table on Monday).

Sunday mythical match bet: 10/11 Manchester United; 17/10 Manchester City; 10/3 draw

Both Manchester sides to lose: 60/1

Who will be top of the table on Sunday evening: 1/18 Manchester City; 15/2 Manchester United

Highest scoring Sunday match:
1/1 Manchester United/WBA; 11/5 Swansea/Manchester City; 11/5 Norwich/Wigan

How many points clear will Manchester City be clear on Monday 12th March: 15/2 not top; 7/2 goal difference; 33/1 1 point; 5/6 2 points; 33/1 3 points; 7/1 4 points; 14/1 5 points

Hills Payout On Hill’s Phantom Goal…5/1 For Goalline Technology Next Season

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

QPR will have been aggrieved when Clint Hill had a goal controversially chalked off, despite the fact that his header was clearly over the line. William Hill are offering 5/1 that goal line technology is introduced into the Premier League by the start of next season (1/9 it is not). As the goal was clearly over the line, William Hill are paying out on Hill being the first goalscorer, as well as Darren Pratley.

“It will have been no consolation to Mark Hughes and his players as they trudged off at half time but we clearly thought it was a goal and are more than happy to pay out,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “It is just another case for a quick introduction for goalline technology.”

Will Goalline Technology Be Introduced In The Premier League Next Season: 5/1 yes; 1/9 no

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

The goal-line technology argument will be hitting the headlines after the Bolton / QPR game and William Hill are betting on which European league will host the first match involving goal-line technology. The Scottish Premier League generally kicks off earlier than the other European leagues and is 13/8 favourite with the English Premier League 11/4 second favourite.

“The FA are keen to press the issue to FIFA and after yet another high profile incident, it is surely just a matter of where and when it comes into play,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

First League to stage game with goal-line technology: 13/8 Scottish Premier League; 11/4 English Premier League; 4/1 German Bundesliga; 11/2 Spanish La Liga; 7/1 French Ligue 1; 8/1 Italian Serie A; 10/1 Dutch Eredivisie

Late Goal Could Be Robben Pearce Of Shot A Euro Glory

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

England were unlucky to suffer defeat in Stuart Pearce’s first game in charge of England and William Hill make him 5/1 (out from 2/1) to be in charge of the team for the European Championships. Harry Redknapp is the 1/6 favourite(in from 1/2), while any other manager can be backed at 8/1. Harry Redknapp is the 1/7 favourite to become the next England manager with Stuart Pearce out from 6/1 to 8/1, Pep Guardiola 9/1 and Roy Hodgson 14/1.

“That late goal could ultimately cost Pearce a shot at the Euros, drifting from 2/1 to 5/1 to lead the squad out in Poland and the Ukraine,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly. “Harry looks like the man now.”

Scott Parker performed well in his first game as England captain and William Hill make him 4/6 to wear the armband against France at the Euros, with Steven Gerrard 7/4, Joe Hart 4/1, Frank Lampard 12/1 and Gareth Barry 14/1.

Gary Cahill and Ashley Young both grabbed a goal each against World Cup finalists, Holland, and Hills make Cahill 10/1 to score at the Euros and Young 11/4 to do so.

England captain for France game: 4/6 Scott Parker; 7/4 Steven Gerrard; 4/1 Joe Hart; 12/1 Frank Lampard; 14/1 Gareth Barry; 25/1 Ashley Cole; 33/1 Rio Ferdinand

Manager at Euro 2012: 1/6 Redknapp; 5/1 Pearce; 8/1 Any other

Next Permanent England manager: 1/7 Redknapp; 8/1 Pearce; 9/1 Guardiola; 14/1 Hodgson; 16/1 Hiddink; 20/1 Mourinho; 25/1 BAR

MOURINHO MANAGERIAL MANIA – PUT THE HOUSE ON IT!

JOSE MOURINHO’s house-buying trip to London has seen punters desperate to back him to become a manager in England – or of England!
‘Mourinho’s odds of becoming England manager have been slashed from 20/1 to 12/1 FOURTH FAVOURITE – he is 5/2 FAVOURITE to become the next permanent Manchester United manager; 5/2 JOINT FAVOURITE to do likewise at Chelsea; 6/1 SECOND FAVOURITE to do so at Spurs and 14/1 FOURTH FAVOURITE to land that role at Arsenal’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, ‘Punters have gone Mourinho mad- and are indiscriminately backing him for any and every high profile managerial job they can think of – in fact, if the money is inspired he could soon find himself in charge of FOUR Premier League clubs AND the England team’.

LATEST WILLIAM HILL NEXT PERMANENT (Contract of year or longer) ENGLAND BOSS ODDS… 1/7 Redknapp; 8/1 Pearce; 9 Guardiola; 12 Mourinho; 14 Hodgson; 16 Hiddink.

Bent 11/4 For Euros Squad, Gerrard 4/1 To Quit After Tournament

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

Darren Bent thinks that he will be fit enough to make the Euros but William Hill do not agree, offering 1/4 he fails to make the squad (11/4 to make it) and 1/9 that he fails to start England’s first match against France (5/1 he does).

Stuart Pearce is keeping his cards close to his chest, refusing to name his captain until tomorrow and William Hill are offering Even money that whoever wears the armband against Holland, does so for England’s first match of the Euros against France (8/11 not to). Steven Gerrard is one of those potentially in line to captain England tomorrow night although his should he get the gig, it could only be a short term arrangement with Hills offering 4/1 that he does not play another game for England after the Euros (1/7 that he does).

“Gerrard has hinted that the Euros could be his final hurrah, but should he guide the side to victory, he could lead the side to Rio in 2014,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

8/13 City/united Forecast…tevez May Be Kicking His Heels For Some While Yet

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

Manchester City made relatively light work of Blackburn and William Hill are offering 8/15 that they win the league. Their nearest rivals, Manchester United, are 13/8 to win the league. Hills are offering 8/13 for Manchester City to finish first with their rivals in second.

Carlos Tevez was nowhere to be seen as City lined up to face Blackburn and despite his apology, he may face a thankless task getting his old spot back seeing as Dzeko, Balotelli and Aguero all netted. William Hill are offering odds on when he will next don a City shirt and offer 11/4 that it is when they face Bolton on the 3rd March, 5/2 Swansea, 7/2 Chelsea, 5/1 Stoke and 11/2 Sunderland. He is 3/1 to take no part in any of these games. He is, however, 1/8 to play for City this season (9/2 not to).

“Tevez’s apology has paved the way for a return to action, but he may have to wait a while as there are three strikers ahead of him bang in form,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Premier League outright: 8/15 Manchester City; 13/8 Manchester United; 20/1 Spurs; 200/1 Chelsea; 250/1 Arsenal; 1000/1 Liverpool

Premier League top four finish: 1/300 Manchester City; 1/200 Manchester United; 1/14 Tottenham; 8/11 Chelsea; 13/8 Arsenal; 3/1 Liverpool; 12/1 Newcastle; 100/1 Sunderland; 125/1 BAR

Premier League relegation: 1/3 Wigan (9/4 to stay up); 4/6 Wolves (11/10); 8/11 Blackburn (1/1); 8/11 Bolton (1/1); 5/6 QPR (5/6); 14/1 BAR

Top London club: 1/8 Tottenham; 7/1 Chelsea; 10/1 Arsenal

Winner without Manchester: 1/8 Tottenham; 7/1 Chelsea; 10/1 Arsenal; 40/1 Liverpool

To finish bottom: 13/8 Wigan; 10/3 Wolves; 10/3 Bolton; 4/1 QPR; 4/1 Blackburn
