It is now on the news, Manchester United is truly now recognized as favorites to win the Carling Cup by one online bookmaker. It is actually the ever popular William Hill that considers Manchester United as Carling Cup favorites at 6/4.

It was after the team qualified for the semi-finals of the said competition that the online bookmaker regarded them as the favorites. William Hill indeed expects that the Red Devils will defend at said odds, the trophy that they have actually won last March.

Manchester United qualified for the semi-finals by beating team finalist of last year, Tottenham Hotspur. Because of this, they are then anticipated to play against Manchester City, a team that has been chasing for a win since their victory in the competition year 1976.

The online bookmaker regarded Man City as favorites for the Carling Cup at 5/2. While other semi-finalists like Aston Villa at 11/4 and the Blackburn Rovers at 9/2.

Manchester United will play against their local rivals soon and so William Hill also set odds for them as favorites to beat the said rivals at 4/6 in the two-leg semi-finals. And the Manchester Club at 11/10 to get a victory.

Villa, in the other semi-final, set at 8/15 to beat Rovers currently at 11/8.

A lot of bettors really consider the odds being set by bookmakers, online and land-based. Most especially by a bookmaker like William Hill, they regard its odds as important, thus it is not surprising if they make bets based on their odds.

But of course, odds are odds. They are just like product of predictions, assumptions or the likes. What they try to imply might be eventually for real but might be not as well.

Swine flu cases affecting football teams and their players are actually not a good thing for many. But then, on a better side, these have opened new betting market recently.

A bookmaker actually offers new bets on swine flu affecting the Premier League, and this is in consideration to some Blackburn Rovers players being diagnosed having such flu.

Gary Megson, Bolton Wanderers manager, also revealed that his squad members also have the flu. Thus, William Hill makes it 6/1 that one or more top-flight matches will be postponed because of the swine flu cases here and there.

Graham Sharpe, the spokesperson of William Hill, said that “several clubs are apparently suffering from swine flu, so it is not impossible that games could be put at risk if entire squads are struck down”. And in connection with the problem, the sports betting firm is also offering 1/12 on having no swine flu postponements in this season’s Premier League.

In the meantime, the Health Protection Agency wants to remind all of the football players and others who are usually also in the football fields not to spit on the pitch during matches as this can just increase the risk of swine flu outbreak. Some preventive measures must be actually done.

Sam Allardyce, manager of Blackburn, believes that Chelsea might be the next team to be included in the list of teams affected by the life-threatening flu for his side played in the Premier League before end of last month.

The swine flu cases need so much attention from everyone. It is not only from the health workers, health agencies and the likes but from everyone. These cases are serious and too bad that they may really affect a lot of industries. No doubt, they must be given significant amount of attention.

Rooney’s newborn son once again created a new market for bettors or punters. He was not yet even born, he already created one for them and it is about his name but unfortunately no one has successfully predicted it.

Right now, the bets are on for his future. Many are now up for what is in store for Wayne Rooney’s newborn son Kai.

Well Coleen, the Manchester United and England superstar’s wife, gave birth to their son in Liverpool last November 2 and just a day after was seen leaving the hospital together with the player and the newborn cute little boy.

Rooney was so glad when he finally carried his son into his loving arms, noted by the Daily Mail. He will be more inspired to be the best player for sure.

For bettors or punters who anticipate Kai to follow his father’s footsteps, William Hill offers 100/1 on him ending up in the Premier League football one day and 125/1 on him playing for the United as well.

Of course, no one could ever predict what’s going to happen in the future. But obviously, all the odds and all the bets are just for the love and enthusiasm for Rooney and at the same time for his Kai.

It is fun to somehow think of what might happen in the future. Just like thinking if Rooney’s Kai will also end up playing football in the Premier League football and all for the United which is his father’s family in the field.

Will Kai also be in the Premier League football someday and be playing for the United? It is still for bettors or punters to find out. For now, they can just be happy thinking if he will really. It is the fun of predicting, even betting.
