William Hill Online Casino Promotes Chelsea as Favorites
At the end of the first weekend of action in the English Premier League, the Premiership Team Chelsea have been promoted from 13/8 second favorites to even money clear favorites to win the Premiership title by bookies William Hill. In the same set of online odds released by the bookies current European and Premiership champions, Manchester United have seen their odds as favorites lengthened from 11/8 to 2/1 second favorites after the champions dropped two points in their first game.
William Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe said, “This may seem to all to be an over reaction. Though it is rare for the champions to drop points at home and with Ronaldo and Tevez both missing they seemed negatively affected compared to Chelsea who was missing the services of Didier Drogba.” William Hill have made Arsenal 9/2 third favorites with Liverpool at 8/1, Spurs 66/1, Aston Villa 150/1, Everton and Portsmouth both 300/1, Newcastle 400/1 and Hull City 3000/1.
The chances of Tottenham winning the title were dented after their opening day defeat and William Hill has eased them from 7/4 to 2/1. The bookies have cut Aston Villa from 7/2 to 11/4 second favorites and also have Everton and Portsmouth at 7/1, Man City at 10/1 and Newcastle at 10/1.
After hitting four goals in their opening encounter the odds of Chelsea have been cut from 3/1 to 15/8 second favorites to be the top scorers of the Big 4 in the Premiership by the bookies. They have made Manchester United 7/4 favorites with Arsenal at 5/2 third favorites and Liverpool 11/2 outsiders.
