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

CHELSEA 9/4 NOT TO WIN CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FOR EIGHT YEARS AT LEAST!

WILLIAM HILL are quoting odds about which year Chelsea may eventually win the Champions League – and offer 9/4 that it will not be before 2018 at the earliest.
Hills offer 5/2 that they will win it for the first time in either 2011 or 2012; 7/2 in 2013 or ’14; 9/2 2015 or ’16; 6/1 2017 or ’18.
‘The more desperate Roman Abramovich becomes to win the Champions League the more elusive it seems to look and it is difficult to envisage their current line-up being capable of fulfilling the dream’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
And Hills are also betting on which will happen first – England to win the World Cup or Chelsea winning the Champions League – making England to win the World Cup 9/4 to happen first, with Chelsea 1/3 to win the Champions League first.
HILLS NOW MAKE CHELSEA 6/4 TO WIN NOTHING THIS SEASON,7/2 TO WIN THE PREM-FA CUP DOUBLE, AND OFFER 14/1 THAT JOSE MOURINHO WILL BE THEIR NEXT MANAGER.Mourinho is 7/4 with Hills to manage in the Premier League at a ny stage of next season, 2/5 not to.
Hills have opened a book on when Ancelotti will become an ex-manager – ‘Abramovich is hardly the most patient of owners when his side are not winning trophies’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe, and they offer:
When Will Ancelotti Go ?
2010 -4/1
2011-9/4
2012-6/4

**HILLS MAKE UNITED 4/7 TO GO FURTHER THAN ARSENAL, WHO ARE 5/4 TO DO VICE VERSA.

BREAKING THE LAWS?

WILLIAM HILL have slashed their odds about Burnley’s new manager Brian Laws being the next Premiership manager to lose his job this season from 16/1 to 2/1 following rumours that he is already under pressure at the relegation-threatened club. ‘Laws has hardly transformed Burnley’s season – at least, not for the better – and it would be no great surprise if he were to give way to another boss as the final matches of the season come into view and Burnley try one last roll of the dice’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
Hills also offer 9/2 Avram Grant; 11/1 Zola; 16/1 Steve Bruce; 25/1 Benitez; Dowie; Martinez; McCarthy. They offer 4/6 that no more mnagaers will go this season.

DOWIE 6/5 TO KEEP HULL UP
**Hills make Iain Dowie 6/5 to keep Hull up – but 8/13 to get them relegated. ‘Even though Dowie has only been appointed until the end of the season, we are paying out to everyone who backed him to become the club’s new boss’ confirmed Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.Hills offer 1/3 that Dowie will be Hull boss on the first day of next season, 9/4 that he will not.
Hills are betting on how many more points Hull will collect during the remainder of the season and offer:

Ireland 5/1 To Beat 5 Time World Champions Brazil

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

Ireland face a big challenge in the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday night when they face the five-time World Champions Brazil.

Brazil, who are currently ranked number 2 in the FIFA rankings, are 1/2 favourites to win the friendly, while Ireland, desperate to forget their controversial elimination from the World Cup, are rated 5/1 shots by William Hill to win the game. The draw is available at 12/5.

Flamengo striker – Adriano is the 4/1 favourite to score the first goal for the Brazilians, while Kevin Doyle is a 10/1 shot to give the Irish an unlikely lead.

Team News: Brazil go into the game with a near full strength squad, but Ireland will be without their talismanic captain Robbie Keane who picked up a knee injury during Celtic’s 1-0 loss to Rangers on Sunday.

William Hill’s Irish spokesman Tony Kenny said “Brazil are one of the favourites to win the World Cup, but they won’t get an easy ride against the Irish.” He continued “The Irish squad are still hurting from their controversial elimination from the World Cup, and they’ll be eager to show the World that they deserved to go to South Africa.”

BOOKIES SHAKEN AS WAYNE SNUBS TERRY

10/1 John Terry to resign as England skipper:
TERRY ODDS ON TO RETAIN ENGLAND CAPTAINCY

DESPITE yet another high profile tabloid scandal enveloping the England football team captain, bookmakers William Hill believe John Terry will still be skipper of his country when the 2010 World Cup kicks off – and make him a 4/11 chance to start the opening game against USA wearing the captain’s armband. Hills offer 10/1 that Terry will resign the captaincy before Chelsea kick off their forthcoming midweek game against Hull.
‘Even the most accident-prone politician might find it difficult to survive the sort of stories Terry has been involved in recently, but football seems to have a moral code all of its own and the chances are that Terry will avoid being stripped of the captaincy’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

**WHO WILL SKIPPER ENGLAND V USA?…..4/11 Terry; 11/4 Gerrard; 16/1 David Beckham; Rio Ferdinand; Wayne Rooney.(Others on request)
HILLS OFFER 1/3 THAT TERRY WILL STILL BE A CHELSE PLAYER ON THE FIRST DAY OF NEXT SEASON, 9/4 THAT HE WILL NOT.
