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

Andy Carroll is now 8/13 to leave Liverpool this summer and Newcastle have moved firmly to the top of the pile to be his next club. William Hill have made the Magpies odds-on to sign their former player at 8/11. Sam Allardyce has made no secret of his desire to sign Carroll and he is 7/2 to lure him to West Ham. Other teams in the running include Aston Villa and Fulham at 9/1 and AC Milan at 12/1.

“Newcastle appear ready to break their transfer record to get the man that they sold just 18 months ago and it is starting to look more and more likely that Andy Carroll is on his way,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Dimitar Berbatov has stated his assertion that he needs to be playing first team football and may have to move to get it. Malaga are the 7/4 favourites to sign him, although West Ham, are offered at 9/4 after they reportedly made an offer for the striker. Galatasaray have reportedly shown some interest in signing him, while AC Milan may look to replace Ibrahimovic with the mercurial United player. They are 5/1 and 8/1 respectively.

The UEFA Player of the Year shortlist was announced yesterday with a surprising nomination. Leslie Davies, the Bangor City forward. He is 1000/1 for the award but the main runners come from Spain. Lionel Messi is 6/5 for the award with his Barcelona team mate Andres Iniesta is 9/4.

Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo is 8/1 despite firing Real Madrid to La Liga glory. Xavi is 12/1 after winning the Euro’s with Spain and Euro 2012 finalist and Juventus midfielder Andrea Pirlo is 14/1.

Berbatov next club: 7/4 Malaga; 9/4 West Ham; 5/1 Galatasaray; 8/1 AC Milan; 10/1 QPR; 12/1 Bayer Leverkusen; 12/1 PSG; 12/1 Tottenham; 14/1 Inter Milan; 16/1 Borussia Dortmund; 25/1 Anzhi Makhachkala; 25/1 Chelsea; 33/1 Liverpool; 33/1 Newcastle; 40/1 Manchester City

Andy Carroll next club: 8/11 Newcastle; 7/2 West Ham; 9/1 Aston Villa; 9/1 Fulham; 12/1 AC Milan; 16/1 Malaga; 20/1 Arsenal; 20/1 PSG; 20/1 Tottenham; 25/1 BAR

Andy Carroll to still be at Liverpool on the first day of 2012/13 season: 8/13 no; 6/5 yes

UEFA Player of The Year: 6/5 L Messi, 9/4 A Iniesta, 8/1 C Ronaldo, 12/1 Xavi, 14/1 A Pirlo, 1000/1 L Davies

Hills are also betting on which United player will take part in the game for the greatest number of minutes, and again make Ferdinand favourite, this time at 11/10. ‘Half of the England starting outfield line-up could be United players, which will give Wesley Sneijder the opportunity to get a close-up look at his possible team-mates’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

William Hill have installed Gareth Bale as 9/4 favourite to win the PFA Player of the Year Award, and his team-mate Van der Vaart is 5/1 second favourite. ‘Spurs seem to hold a strong hand for the PFA this year with both Bale and Van der Vaart having been very impressive’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

CITY 5/1 TO BE FIRST TEAM TO BEAT UNITED
William Hill, who make Manchester United 11/1 to remain undefeate all season in the Premier League, make Chelsea 10/3 favourites to be the first club to loower their colours this season, with neighbours Manchester City 5/1 second favourites. ‘The majority of football pundits keep insisting that United are not good enough to remain undefeated all season, and they just carry on remaining undefeated’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

MEANWHILE, Hills HAVE CUT THEIR ODDS ABOUT UNITED REMAINING UNBEATEN ALL SEASON – BUT STILL FAILING TO WIN THE LEAGUE TITLE FROM 100/1 TO 50/1. ‘A few punters stepped in for the 100/1 and it is far from an impossible scenario’ said Sharpe.

WILL PULIS AND HUGHES SHAKE EACH OTHER WARMLY BY THE HAND – OR, PERHAPS, THROAT?

And Hills are offering 2/1 that the pair will not shake hands after the final whistle (must be shown on tv) of the game, and 4/11 that they will. ‘The Hughes-Pulis affair is beginning to turn into a long-running feud to rival Bridge versus Terry – but maybe they will bury the hatchet this weekend – hopefully not in each other!’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

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

Craig Bellamy has once again won punters a long-odds payout, after he became the first Premier League player of 2011 to be arrested – a 16/1 chance to add to his 100/1 stunner when, playing for Liverpool, he marked scoring a goal by making a ‘golf-swing’ celebration shortly after being accused of hitting a team-mate with a golf club.

“Bellamy has proved very punter-friendly for those gambling on off-beat football betting markets.” Hills have reopened their market on the next Premier League footballer to be arrested. “It could become as popular as the next manager to lose his job,” said Hill’s spokesman “and we are making Joey Barton and Andy Carroll 7/1 joint favourites.”

William Hill Next Premier League Footballer To Be Arrested

Barton Odds On For Retrospective Ban…while Olly Had Better Clear His Desk

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

Joey Barton is odds on to receive a three match ban for punching Morten-Gamst Pedersen in the chest. William Hill are offering 1/4 that his punishment stretches for three matches and for Joey to receive no ban is priced at 8/1. Flouting the laws of the game seemed to be the order of the day on Wednesday when Ian Holloway made ten changes to his side that faced Aston Villa. Olly has claimed that he will quit if he gets a fine and Hills reckon he may do well to start clearing his desk now with 8/13 offered that he receives a fine of some sort from the FA and 6/5 that he does not.

“Joey Barton is no stranger to controversy and would it appear that the FA may decide to step in and hand the midfielder a ban,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.

Joey Barton’s team-mate, Andy Carroll, has been the subject of much praise recently and William Hill are offering 1/2 that he earns his first England cap against France on the 17th November.

Hills have also opened a market on who will be in the top two come the end of the season and make Chelsea followed by Man Utd, the 2/1 favourite while Chelsea/Arsenal is the 3/1 second favourite.

William Hill Football Specials:

Ian Holloway/Blackpool to receive a fine for fielding a weakened team vs Aston Villa?
Yes 8/13
No 6/5

Includes suspended fines.

Will Hernandez Outscore Rooney ?

WILL HERNANDEZ OUT-SHOOT ROONEY?

WITH Hernandez boosting his reputation in the absence of Wayne Rooney, William Hill are offering odds of 7/4 about the young Mexican outscoring the out of form England striker during the remainder of this season in all major competitions (Prem; Carling Cup; FA Cup; Champions League).
Hills make Rooney 8/15 to score more than his younger team-mate, with a tie between them offered at 8/1. ‘Wayne has inadvertently heaped even more pressure on his own shoulders during a period in which he is showing only glimpses of his best form, and the new kid on the block is threatening to out-shoot the ageing gunslinger!’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

WHO’LL TOP SCORE IN PREM FOR MAN UTD THIS SEASON?

Berbatov (6)…10/11
Rooney (1)….11/5
Hernandez (3)…7/2
Nani (3)………8/1
Owen (1)…..25/1

Gareth, Gunn And Sven – Will They Stay Or Will They Go ?

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

WILL WIN, LOSE AND DRAW BOSSES STAY AT CLUBS ALL SEASON ?
THREE HIGH profile bosses had very different starts to the season. Gareth Southgate’s Middlesbro draw with Sheffield United and fans appeared less than impressed; Norwich’s Bryan Gunn oversaw a humiliating 1-7 defeat to local rivals Colchester; while Sven Goran Erikkson saw Notts County start off with a 5-0 drubbing of Bradford.
William Hill now make Southgate 5/6 to survive, 5/6 to leave by last day season; Gunn 4/9 to go, 13/8 to survive; Sven 6/4 to leave, 1/2 to stay.
‘These three managers are all under pressure for very different reasons but their futures are fascinatingly poised. Southgate seems finally to have used up his goodwill with supporters; Norwich’s result will haunt them for decades and heap pressure on one of the most popular figures ever associated with the club while the more successful County are the more likely bigger clubs are to come courting Sven’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

LATEST William Hill LEAGUE ONE ODDS….5/2 Leeds; 7/1 Charlton; 8/1 Huddersfield; 10 MK Dons; 12 Norwich; 14 Brighton; Colchester; Millwall; 16 Brentford; 25 Southampton; 33 Gillingham.

LEAGUE TWO…3/1 Notts Co; 6/1 Rotherham; 10/1 Bournemouth; 11/1 Shrewsbury; 14 Bury; Northampton; Rochdale.

WILL UNITED BEN START ENGLAND’S FIRST WORLD CUP FINALS MATCH?

Owen is 7/4 to score in 90mins play, 6/1 to open the scoring and 10/1 to net two or more.
90 minute odds: 17/10 United; 2/1 draw; 7/5 Chelsea.
