Tottenham won once more to keep the pressure on the big boys and Hills make Spurs 33/1 to win the Premier League. Spurs, now third in the Premier League table, are 5/6 with William Hill to finish in the top half this season and 5/6 to finish the season in the Europa League.

After a slightly slow start to the season, Spurs have chalked up 8 wins in 9 and on current form look a very good bet to bag a top four spot, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

Emmanuel Adebayor secured a brace against Villa and Hills think that he will give the current Manchester City strikers a run for their money. He is Evens to outscore Balotelli, 3/1 to outscore Aguero and 10/3to outscore Dzeko.

Premier League Outright: 4/6 Manchester City; 15/8 Manchester United; 16/1 Chelsea; 25/1 Arsenal; 33/1 Spurs; 50/1 Liverpool; 400/1 Newcastle

Champs League: City Left Blue, But United Progression Is Taken As Red
Manchester United and Manchester City have struggled so far to make much of an impact in the Champions League and William Hill are offering 7/2 that both sides fail to reach the knockout phase of the competition. Hills are offering 7/2 that both Manchester teams manage to make it through to the final 16 of the Champions League and 1/20 that only one of the two sides makes it through the group stage.
It looks as though Manchester City are going to fall short of progression in their maiden Champions League outing with Napoli just 2/7 to qualify ahead of them, while Manchester United are the same price to pip FC Basel to the knockout phase of the competition.
Both sides have cut it fine in what has been a highly inconsistent campaign so far, but while United look like they may well just sneak through, Citys fate is now out of their own hands, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.
Both Manchester sides to fail to reach the knockout phase of Champions League: 7/2
Both Manchester sides to progress into knockout stage of Champions League: 7/2
Either one of the Manchester sides to progress to knockout stage of Champions League: 1/20
To qualify from Group A: 2/7 Napoli; 5/2 Manchester City
To qualify from Group C: 2/7 Manchester United; 5/2 Basel

Chelseas woes continued as they lost at home and William Hill make Andre Villas Boas just 6/5 to have left his position as Chelsea boss by the first game of next season (8/13 to still be there). Villas-Boas is now 9/1 to be the first manager to leave his position.

Chelseas defensive issues were highlighted once more and they have now failed to keep a clean sheet at home since April. They are 25/1 to fail to keep a home clean sheet in the next five matches.

Chelsea found themselves in a funk like this during last season and it ultimately cost Carlo Ancelotti his job and should this poor run of form continue, then Villas-Boas could be in the same position come the start of next season, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

Premier League Outright: 4/6 Manchester City; 15/8 Manchester United; 14/1 Chelsea; 25/1 Arsenal; 40/1 Tottenham; 50/1 Liverpool; 300/1 Newcastle

First Premier League manager to go: 1/1 Steve Kean; 5/2 Roberto Martinez; 10/3 Steve Bruce; 6/1 Owen Coyle; 8/1 Mick McCarthy; 9/1 Andre Villas-Boas; 12/1 Harry Redknapp; 16/1 Alex McLeish; 20/1 BAR

Andre Villas-Boas to be in charge of Chelsea on the first day of next season: 8/13 yes; 6/5 no

When will Chelsea next keep a clean sheet at home in the PL?

Wolves (26/11/11) 4/7
Man City (12/12/11) 5/1
Fulham (26/12/11) 4/1
Aston Villa (31/12/11) 9/1
Sunderland (14/01/12) 14/1
No clean sheet in these matches 25/1

The two camps have merged in Im A Celeb and William Hill are expecting fireworks. Hills make Snake Rock the 4/5 favourites to lose a member of their camp in the first eviction while Croc Creek are 10/11.

Despite merging, we are expecting the two groups to remain quite insular and we think it will remain Croc Creek vs Snake Rock, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

Since entering the jungle, Pat Sharp has been popular with punters and he is 12/1 to win the show, while Sinitta is 16/1.

Historically late arrivals have never made much of an impact in the jungle (barring Christopher Biggins) but our punters seem to have got on board with Pat Sharp, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

Im A Celeb Winner: 7/4 Mark Wright; 4/1 Anthony Cotton; 7/1 Dougie Poynter; 10/1 Fatima Whitbread; 10/1 Lorraine Chase; 12/1 Willie Carson; 12/1 Pat Sharp; 14/1 Jessica-Jane Clement; 16/1 Sinitta; 20/1 Crissy Rock; 100/1 Stefanie Powers

Euro 2012…gareth Barry, Goal Machine…rooney Ban

November 23, 2011 Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments 2014 World Cup, Capello, Disciplinary Hearing, Euro 2012, Footy, Gareth Barry, Greenside, Joe Crilly, Punter, Record Books, Rep Ireland, Republic Of Ireland, Scorecast, Semi Finals, Unbridled Success, Wayne Rooney, Wembley, William Hill, Williamhill, World Cup England

With the Republic of Ireland qualifying for Euro 2012 on Tuesday night, William Hill make them 11/4 to progress further than England in the tournament. Capellos men are odds on, however, to go further that the Irish at 5/6. By defeating Sweden, England managed to go through the entirety of 2012 without losing once and Hills offer 12/1 that they do so next year (in 90 minutes only).

Reaching the semi finals in the tournament in Poland and the Ukraine would be considered an unbridled success and Hills are offering 6/4 that England reach the last four in 2012 and are also offering 9/2 that they do so in the 2014 World Cup. England are 100/1 to win both the 2012 Euros and 2014 World Cup.

England scored their 2,000th goal against Sweden but unfortunately, it will go down in the record books as an own goal. Hills have decided to pay out on Gareth Barry being first scorer, last scorer, anytime scorer and the 1-0 Gareth Barry scorecast.

The scoreboard at Wembley displayed throughout the game that Gareth Barry was the goalscorer but despite Daniel Majstorovic being credited as having got the final touch we are celebrating a landmark 2,000 England goals by paying out to any punter who backed the City midfielder to score, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

Wayne Rooney will face his disciplinary hearing on the 9th of December and will learn his Euro 2012 fate. He is 11/10 to have his three game reduced and 4/6 that it stays the same or is extended.

England Double (2012 Euros & 2014 WC): 100/1

England to reach Euro 2012 semi finals: 6/4 yes; 1/2 no

England to reach WC 2014 semi finals: 9/2 yes; 1/8

Euro 2012 England/Rep Ireland Match Bet: 5/6 England; 11/4 Ireland; 2/1 Draw

Wayne Rooney Ban after the hearing on the 9th December: 11/10 Ban is reduced; 4/6 Ban stays the same or is extended

Lampard 5/6 To Reach 100 Caps…qpr Becks Appeal Shrinking

Frank Lampard led by example as England defeated Spain and he has now targeted 100 caps for England. The midfielder, who took his tally to 90 on Saturday is 5/6 with William Hill to join the 100 club (5/6 not to).

QPR have seemingly given up in the race to sign David Beckham and William Hill have eased their odds to 8/1 (from 6/1). Paris Saint Germain are the 4/9 favourites to secure Beckhams signature, while Tottenham are the 5/1 second favourites. Beckham is 4/7 to join up with the GB squad for the 2012 Olympics and Hills make Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey 1/8 and 1/5 respectively to feature in the Olympic squad.

Bale and Ramsay have already appeared in the promotional photos for the launching of the GB kit and with Wales not playing in the Euros, it now seems almost impossible to imagine that they will not join up with the squad in London, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

David Beckham next club: 4/9 PSG; 5/1 Spurs; 8/1 QPR; 9/1 Anzhi; 10/1 Blackburn; 12/1 Aston Villa; 16/1 AC Milan; 33/1 Real Madrid…others on request

Frank Lampard to win 100 England Caps: 5/6 yes; 5/6 no

Frank Backed To Start As England Reign Over Spain

England were priced at 7/2 with William Hill to win against the World Champions who were the first odds on team to face the Three Lions at the new Wembley. Frank Lampard scored the winner and stood in for John Terry as captain and Hills are undecided as to whether he will start Englands Euro 2012 campaign offering 5/6 he starts Englands first game and 5/6 that he does not. Darren Bent set up the winner and, in the absence of Rooney is 4/7 to start Englands first match.

Spain remain the 5/2 favourites to win the Euros next summer while England are 11/1 joint fifth favourites.

We are not going to get too carried away and suddenly make England favourites for the Euros but a result like that could possibly tempt a few more punters to have a go at our 11/1, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

Capello will be taking charge of England for the last time in Poland and the Ukraine with Harry Redknapp the favourite to take the reins after him. His odds have drifted from 8/11 to 7/4 but he is still quite away ahead of Martin ONeill and Arsene Wenger who are the 8/1 second favourites.

To Start 1st Euro 2012 game for England:

Lampard: 5/6 yes; 5/6 no
Terry: 1/6 yes; 7/2 no
Bent: 4/7 yes; 5/4

Next England Manager: 7/4 Harry Redknapp; 8/1 Martin ONeill; 8/1 Arsene Wenger; 14/1 Gareth Southgate; 14/1 Roy Hodgson; 16/1 Stuart Pearce; 16/1 Jose Mourinho; 20/1 BAR

Euro 2012 Winner: 5/2 Spain; 7/2 Germany; 5/1 Holland; 10/1 Italy; 11/1 England; 11/1 France; 16/1 Russia; 22/1 Portugal; 33/1 BAR

Will John Be Terry-fic Or Terry-ble Against Sweden?

John Terry sat out Englands victory against Spain and William Hill make are offering a market on what he will do first should he start versus Sweden. The 5/6 favourite is that England concede a goal while he is on the pitch while it is 12/1 he scores a goal and 40/1 he gets sent off. Having been very much the outsiders against Spain, England return to favouritism against Sweden at 4/6 with the visitors 7/2 and the draw 23/10.

John Terry returns to the International fold after sitting out the Spain game and it will be interesting to see if he returns with a bang or a whimper, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.

Capello has received a fair amount of praise following his sides battling victory and Hills now offer 8/1 that he remains as the England manager after the Euro 2012 Championships. Harry Redknapp is the 7/4 favourite to become Englands next manager with Martin ONeill and Arsene Wenger 8/1.

What will John Terry do first vs Sweden: 5/6 Complete game; 5/2 complete the match; 9/2 be substituted; 7/1 yellow card; 12/1 score; 40/1 get sent off

Capello to remain as England manager after the Euro 2012 Championships: 8/1 yes; 1/20 no

Newcastle Odds On Not To Find Ground Sponsor

November 19, 2011 Football Betting News From William Hill Bookmaker 0 Comments Bookmakers, Cheryl Cole, Graham Sharpe, Greenside, James Park, London N22, Media Relations Director, Meerkat, Mike Ashley, Newcastle Brown, Newcastle Building Society, Sharpe Hill, St James Park, Supermarket Chain, Tesco, Tony Blair, Twiter, Uk Coal, William Hill, Williamhill

ASHLEY ODDS-ON TO FAIL TO FIND ST JAMES SPONSOR!

WITH MIKE ASHLEY SET TO SELL naming rights to Newcastle’s St James’ Park, bookmakers William Hill have opened a book on whether those rights will actually be sold, and what the ground will be known as.
Hills believe it is unlikely that a stadium name sponsor will come forward and offer 4/7 that the ground name has either NOT changed at all by the first day of next season, or is still known as the Sports Direct Arena.
‘It is one thing putting the naming rights up for grabs, another getting the right deal – and Mr Ashley could conceivably even have changed his mind and sold the club by then’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hill’s make Tesco the most likely sponsor’s name to be added to the ground name, quoting the supermarket chain at 10/1, and also offering:
O2 12/1
Northern Rock 20/1
Greggs 33/1
Newcastle Brown 33/1
NE Tourism 50/1
Newcastle Building Society 50/1
Compare The Meerkat/Market 66/1
