Cameron speech prompts yes bets as:
SCOTS BETTING ON INDEPENDENCE YES VOTE

WILLIAM HILL have cut their odds from 3/1 to 5/2 that the Scots will vote in favour of independence when they get the opportunity to do so in a Referendum. And Hills offer 4/11 that the Referendum will take place in 2014 and 7/1 that the country will become independent by 2020.
Although the betting suggests an ultimate no to independence at any Referendum, the money we have taken is almost all for a yes vote- and every bet struck since David Cameron spoke on the issue has been for yes. said Hills spokesman Graham Sharpe.
HILLS OFFER 2/5 THAT ONLY THOSE AGED 18 OR OVER WILL BE PERMITTED TO VOTE IN THE REFERENDUM, 7/4 THAT THE AGE LIMIT WILL BE LOWERED FROM THAT.

WILLIAM HILL..

WHEN WILL SCOTTISH INDEPENDENCE REFERENDUM TAKE PLACE?….4/11 2014; 11/4 2012/2013; 7/1 2015 OR LATER

WILL THE REFERENDUM PRODUCE A VOTE IN FAVOUR OF INDEPENDENCE? 5/2 YES; 2/7 NO

WILL UNDER 18s BE PERMITTED TO VOTE IN REFERENDUM? 2/5 NO 7/4 YES

WILL SCOTLAND ACHIEVE INDEPENDENCE BY 2020? 7/1 YES; 1/16 NO

Manchester City and United both picked up vital away victories and William Hill make them 12/1 (in from 20/1) to meet in the Europa League Final. Manchester City are now 1/20 to progress to the next stage of the competition (Porto 8/1) while Manchester United are 1/50 (Ajax 12/1).

Stoke had a pretty tough time of it against Valencia at the Britannia and they are 8/1 to qualify (1/20 Valencia).

Manchesters United and City are the favourites for the whole competition and should they avoid each other in the latter rounds and continue to play the way that they both did tonight, there is no reason why they cannot meet in the final of this competition, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

Manchester City are 3/1 favourites to win the Europa League with Manchester United 4/1; Valencia 8/1; Atletico Madrid 10/1; Schalke 12/1 and PSV 16/1. Stoke are 100/1 to lift the trophy.

Qualify Prices

1/20 City; 8/1Porto
1/20 Valencia; 8/1 Stoke
1/50 United; 12/1 Ajax

Warnock Warning For Bookies

February 19, 2012 Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments 163, Bets, Bookies, Elland Road, Football Job, Footy, Grayson, Greenside, Joe Crilly, Leeds Utd, London N22, Mick Mccarthy, Neil Warnock, Punters, Qpr, Redfearn, Sheffield Utd, Top Job, William Hill, Williamhill

LEEDS PUNTERS LUMP ON EX BLADE FOR TOP JOB

Neil Warnock has been the subject of a large gamble in Leeds to get the citys top football job. Vacant since Simon Grayson departed, Warnock had been as big as 9/2 when Lee Clark left Huddersfield and became favourite for the job, but having been well supported today, in and around Leeds, both online and in shops. Bets of up to £500 were being placed all day on Friday on Warnock getting the job.

The Ex QPR and Sheffield Utd boss is now 1/3 firm favourite to take the Elland Road hotseat ahead of Lee Clark at 11/2, Billy Davies and Mick McCarthy at 8/1 and Steve Bruce at 9/1.

Whether this is punters in the know or punters hoping that Warnock will get the job, we are not sure, but it would appear that Warnock is the name on everybodys lips in Leeds at the moment, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

Next Permanent Leeds Utd Manager: 1/3 Neil Warnock; 11/2 Lee Clark; 8/1 Billy Davies; 8/1 Mick McCarthy; 9/1 Steve Bruce; 14/1 Neil Redfearn; 20/1 BAR

City Return To Top Of Table With Mcleish And Mccarthy Both Backed To Go Before Next Season

Manchester City returned to the top of the Premier League courtesy of a close victory against Aston Villa and William Hill make the Blues 4/6 favourites to win the league this season ahead of Manchester United at 6/5. Villa on the other hand, left the field to a chorus of boos and Hills make Alex McLeish Evens to have left Villa by the start of next season (8/11 to still be there). McLeish is now 8/1 to be the next manager to leave his job.

A 5-1 defeat at home to their arch rivals, will have done nothing to placate the Wolves fans already calling for Mick McCarthys head and William Hill are offering 4/9 that he is no longer at the club come the first game of next season (13/8 that he is still there). Mick McCarthy is 7/4 favourite to be the next manager to leave his job.

The writing appears to be on the wall for Mick, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly. The Wolves fans were already unhappy with the way things were going and a heavy home defeat will not have done anything to change that.

Premier League Outright: 4/6 Manchester City; 6/5 Manchester United; 20/1 Tottenham; 200/1 BAR

Top Four finish: 1/250 Manchester City; 1/200 Manchester United; 1/14 Spurs; 5/6 Chelsea; 11/8 Arsenal; 3/1 Liverpool; 12/1 Newcastle; 100/1 BAR

78% Of Money Gambled Is For Harry To Be England Boss

February 11, 2012 Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments Bets, Boss, Capello, Discrepancy, England Manager, Fiver, Gambler, Graham Sharpe, Guus Hiddink, Harry Redknapp, Hodgson, Leading The Way, Media Relations Director, Odds, Spokesman, Spurs, Stuart Pearce, Twitter, William Hill, Williamhill

78% OF MONEY GAMBLED IS FOR HARRY TO BE ENGLAND BOSS..
BETTING support for Harry Redknapp has seen 78% of the cash William Hill have so far taken on the Next England Manager market since Capello resigned, gambled on the Spurs boss, with Stuart Pearce attracting 8.7% in second place, and Guus Hiddink 6.5% in third.
However, in terms of individual bets placed, Pearce is leading the way with 25% of bets struck, ahead of Hiddink in 2nd with 22% and Redknapp in third with 21%.
The discrepancy can probably be explained that Harry Redknapp is currently offered at odds of 4/11 ,which are unlikely to appeal to a gambler with a fiver in his or her pocket, whereas Pearce is quoted at 11/2 and Hiddink 12/1 said Hills spokesman Graham Sharpe.
WILLIAM HILL- NEXT PERMANENT ENGLAND BOSS- 4/11 Redknapp; 11/2 Pearce; 10 Mourinho; 12 Hiddink; Hodgson. Others on request.

Could arry Bring Becks Back For Euros?

February 11, 2012 Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments Arsene Wenger, David Beckham, England Job, Euro 2012, First Game, Footy, Gareth Southgate, Greenside, Guus Hiddink, Harry Redknapp, Joe Crilly, Jose Mourinho, Kenny Dalglish, London N22, Martin O Neill, Rafa Benitez, Roy Hodgson, Stuart Pearce, William Hill, Williamhill

Harry Redknapp is the 4/11 favourite with William Hill to fill the vacant England position on a permanent basis and is offered at 7/2 to manage England in Euro 2012 and take charge of Spurs at the start of 2012/13 season. David Beckham could well have an opportunity to play again for England and Hills are offering 16/1 that he is called up to the Euro 2012 playing squad by whoever takes over and he is 7/1 to sit on the bench in any role.

Harry Redknapp is a big admirer of Becks and should he bag the England job, as is widely expected, Beckham could well sit on the bench or even better play again for England, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

Liverpool face an uphill battle to qualify for the Champions League and William Hill are offering 6/4 that Kenny Dalglish has left Liverpool by the start of next season (1/2 vice versa).

After just over a year in charge, Liverpool are only slightly better off than they were when Roy Hodgson was in charge and a failure to qualify for any European competition could lead to his departure, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

Will Kenny Dalglish be at Liverpool on first game of next season? 1/2 yes 6/4 no

Beckham to be part of England 2012 playing squad 16/1
Beckham to be on the bench for England at Euro 2012 in any role 7/1

Next Permanent England Boss: 4/11 Harry Redknapp; 11/2 Stuart Pearce; 10/1 Jose Mourinho; 12/1 Roy Hodgson; 12/1 Guus Hiddink; 14/1 Martin ONeill; 16/1 Arsene Wenger; 16/1 Rafa Benitez; 20/1 Gareth Southgate; 25/1 BAR

Coyle Cut For Chop After Dire Home Defeat!

February 11, 2012 Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments Alex Mcleish, Blackburn, Bolton Wanderers, England Manager, Everton, Footy, Greenside, Harry Redknapp, Joe Crilly, London N22, Mick Mccarthy, Premier League Manager, Qpr, Relegation, Steve Kean, Villas Boas, West Brom, Wigan, William Hill, Williamhill

Following defeat in the vital relegation six pointer against Wigan, Bolton Wanderers are 8/11 to be relegated this season. Wigan remain hot favourites to go down at 1/4 with Blackburn 4/7 despite their victory over QPR, who are 5/4 to go down.

It is becoming incredibly condensed at the bottom of the table and a little run could certainly see one of the sides move up the table and it could take a manager getting the sack to do this, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly. Of the bottom five clubs in the Premier League, only one of them have changed their manager and we could well see at least one of them go soon.

Owen Coyle has also been cut from 10/1 to 6/1 to be the next manager to leave his job a market that is headed by potential next England manager, Harry Redknapp at 5/4. Chelsea lost away to Everton and Andre Villas-Boas is 5/1 to be the next manager to go.

William Hill Odds:

Relegation: 1/4 Wigan; 4/7 Blackburn; 8/11 Bolton; 10/11 Wolves; 5/4 QPR; 9/1 West Brom; 12/1 BAR

Next Premier League Manager to go: 5/1 Harry Redknapp; 5/1 Andre Villas-Boas; 11/2 Mick McCarthy; 11/2 Steve Kean; 6/1Owen Coyle; 8/1 Alex McLeish; 8/1 No manager to go; 14/1 BAR
