It is very tight at the top of the Premier League and VC Bet reckon it is only 7/1 against the title being decided by goal difference.

Neal Wilkins from VC Bet commented “Arsenal are clearly in decline at present but could still resurrect their title ambitions with a win at Stamford Bridge on Sunday and Manchester United have to face Liverpool on the same afternoon. Arsenal also have the small matter of a visit to Old Trafford so their destiny is in their own hands. One thing is for sure – it will be the tightest title battle for many seasons.

VC BET RECKON AVRAM SHOULD NOT BE TAKING HIS JOB FOR GRANTED!

Rafa Benitez may have survived the Barnsley Chop when Liverpool were bundled out of the FA Cup in the fifth round by the Yorkshire side but VC Bet reckon it is just a question of time before Avram Grant leaves the Bridge following his side’s incredible 1-0 defeat to Barnsley in the quarter-final and have made Gus Hiddink the 11/4 favourite to succeed him.

Neal Wilkins from V C Bet commented “To go out of two winnable competitions in the space of two weeks could prove too much to bear for Abramovich and we consider Avram Grant’s days to be numbered. Leaving Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard out of the squad proved to be a huge error of judgement and on the back of the Carling Cup defeat the portents are not looking good for Grant.”

WHO WILL SUCCEED AVRAM GRANT?

With speculation rife that all is not rosy at Chelsea, VC Bet has opened a market on who will eventually succeed Avram Grant at Stamford Bridge. The firm admit that if Grant was to leave, it would probably happen in the summer, and they have installed Guus Hiddink as their 11/4 favourite.

“Hiddink has to be favourite, especially with his links to Abramovich, but there are some interesting candidates around at the moment.” said VC spokesman Neal Wilkins. “The old guard of Lippi, Scolari, Advocaat, Ranieri and others will always be in the frame, but there are younger coaches with Chelsea connections like Zola, Hughes and Deschamps who might be in the running.”

The firm though are pretty dismissive of a return to Chelsea of Jose Mourinho, and they quote him at 28/1 to make a sensational return. “He’s more likely to take over at Barcelona, and then that would release Frank Rijkaard to take the reins at Stamford Bridge.” added Wilkins.

Who will succeed Avram Grant as the next Chelsea manager?

Guus Hiddink……….11/4
Frank Rijkaard………9/2
Marcelo Lippi……….13/2
Luis Scolari………….10/1
Mark Hughes……….10/1
Dick Advocaat………14/1
Gianfranco Zola…….14/1

PAUL JEWELL CUT TO LEAVE!

Paul Jewell has been cut to 14/1 to be the next Premier League manager to leave after another embarrassing display by Derby County on the weekend. Jewell was very critical of his players in the post match interview, and VC spokesman Neal Wilkins feels that Jewell’s patience could be wearing thin.

“On Friday Jewell was telling the press that he was at Derby for the long haul and that he had already turned down an offer to move elsewhere since he took over. But Jewell was clearly exasperated with his players on Saturday, and we are just taking the precaution in case he gets another offer. He might not need a lot of persuading now.”

Kevin Keegan is 4/1 to be the next manager to leave his post, but the clear favourite is that all twenty of the current Premier League managers will remain with their current clubs.

WILL BERBATOV STAY AT SPURS?

VC Bet make it a 1/2 shot that Dimitar Berbatov starts the 2008/2009 Premier League season with Tottenham Hotspur, and 6/4 that he leaves, in the wake of the club winning its first trophy in nine years.

“We feel the pendulum might have swung away from a move by Berbatov.” said VC spokesman Neal Wilkins. “Firstly only a handful of clubs can afford him, and if Ramos continues to transform Tottenham, Berbatov might feel that staying put will get him the quality of football he wants.”

Will Dimitar Berbatov be a Tottenham player at the start of the 2008/2009 Premier League season?

Yes………1/2
No……….6/4

VC Bet are paying any clients who backed the runner up Straight Face in the 3.40pm at Kempton on Sunday between 1030am and 3.33pm and honour all each way wagers struck on the eventual fourth horse Lady Firecracker between the same trading times.

Mark Kilkenny from VC Bet commented “The error in transmission declaring the eventual winner Marmooq as a non-runner is neither our fault or our clients’ and we feel that this is the honourable cause of action in this situation.” http://vcnewsdesk.com/news_details.php?recordID=1508 25/02/2008
LIVERPOOL'S END GAME?


VC Bet have priced up where Liverpool will finish in the Premier League after Steven Gerrard said the priority now for his team was to finish fourth this season. They make finishing fourth the 1/2 favourite and it is 5/2 that they finish only fifth. A disastrous 6th place finish is 10/1 and the unthinkable scenario of Liverpool finishing outside the top six is 18/1.


VC spokesman Neal Wilkins feels the 1/2 is about right, “Liverpool have a handy knack of finishing their seasons well, so it’s right to think that they’ll at least make the top four. Optimistic Reds fans can take the 6/1 on offer that they make the top three, but the teams above them are looking strong contenders to hold on to their current position.”

Where will Liverpool finish in the Premier League this season?

Top three…………6/1

4th………………..1/2

5th………………..5/2

6th………………10/1

Out of top 6…….18/1

ARSENAL 4/7 WITH VC BET FOR PREMIER TITLE

Arsenal were cut from 5/6 to 4/7 by VC Bet for the Premier League after a hard fought 2-0 win over Blackburn at the Emirates on Monday night.

Neal Wilkins from VC Bet commented "The momentum is certainly with Wenger's team but there is still a long way to go and significantly Arsenal have now played two more games at home than away. There is also the small matter of trips to Stamford Bridge and Old Trafford but on Monday night they again showed a resilience and Blackburn did not have one effort on target."

BRADFORD & ST HELENS ON THE DRIFT

VC Bet are best priced on both St Helens and Bradford Bulls after the two Super League clubs registered embarrassing defeats at the weekend. St Helens lost to Hull KR and Bradford came unstuck at Wakefield. The Saints are now 11/4 for the title and the Bulls are as big as 8/1.



VC spokesman Neal Wilkins said “We always had a hunch that both these might struggle, and despite it being early days, we are prepared to take them on. If we are wrong the 8/1 on Bradford could look very good value.”



Leeds Rhinos were the only one of the traditionally dominant clubs to impress and they are now 13/8 favourites to win in the regular season. Dark horses Warrington have also shortened into 6/1.

VC BET LOWER PERCENTAGES

VC Bet reported trading to be “brisk” on the first weekend of betting live and Premier League matches to only 104%. The Gibraltar based firm were best, or equal best price on 12 of the 20 Premier League matches over the weekend.



The firm said the reaction to the move was very encouraging and Trading Director, Ian Marmion was very pleased with the response. “We were delighted with the first weekend of betting to reduced percentages. The value for the customers is obvious, and our minimum £10,000 guarantee was very well accepted by a number of customers. We top offered Chelsea and were accommodated but believed the draw was a realistic result so we were pleased with the stalemate!"

OWEN TO GET A CENTURY!

VC Bet make Michael Owen a 1/3 shot to get 100 caps for England despite being left on the bench for Fabio Capello’s first match in charge. The Newcastle striker is 9/4 not to make the elusive century. Owen is still only 28 and VC spokesman Neal Wilkins feels that he has enough years left at the top to ensure he reaches the milestone.

“Owen is still a quality striker if he can return to full fitness. His whole game has been based on his speed of movement and that speed has looked severely diminished this winter. However we feel that he’ll pick up another 12 caps, although he’s going to have to avoid another major injury. One more and time could be running out fro him.”

VICTOR SPOT ON

Victor Chandler was spot on with his assessement of the handicap hurdle at Sandown on Saturday in his weekly StarBets article in the Daily Star. He wrote:

THE TOTHER ONE can maintain his unbeaten record and give his trainer Paul Nicholls his second successive win in the Sandown Handicap Hurdle at 2.35. Taranis did the trick for the champion trainer last year and was a handicap “snip” but my selection cannot be said to be the same. However there is not telling how good he is and he can defy a 23lb hike up in the ratings and continue his winning ways. He is a 7/2 chance with VC Bet and will take all the beating.



The Tother One was the gamble of the day and started 9/4 favourite and duly obliged by one and half lengths.

DEFOE ON A GOAL QUEST?

VC Bet have opened a market on the number of goals Jermain Defoe will score for Portsmouth this season in the Premier League. There are 14 games remaining, but the fact that Benjani has remained at Portsmouth has clouded the issue a little bit.

“If he started all of the 14 games, on his current average he will probably score about 7 or 8 goals,” said the firm’s spokesman Neal Wilkins, “but we feel that with the possibility of Baros and Benjani vying for places up front he could be on the bench for a few. However, after this weekend their fixture list is pretty decent, so he could bag a decent tally. Defoe is a natural goalscorer and can at lst fulfill his potential."

The firm are as big as 5/1 for Defoe to score 9 goals or more and even money that he manages just five or under.

WILL BECKHAM BE DENIED!!



VC Bet make David Beckham a 6/4 chance not to get his 100th cap, after Fabio Capello left him out of the England squad against Switzerland next week. The firm originally offered Beckham at 12/1 to be denied his 100th cap and according to their spokesman Neal Wilkins they are slightly nervous about the scenario happening.

“We decided to make a statement of intent with Beckham because we felt certain he would get to the 100th cap milestone. A lot of our clients disagreed with us and snapped up the 12/1 on offer that he wouldn’t make it. Needless to say we have a huge liability on the outcome. This could be very painful.”



The firm now go 1/2 that Beckham will get his 100th cap and 6/4 that he doesn’t. The good news is that there was a very decent punt on Beckham to captain England against Switzerland, so that has been some consolation.

GERRARD ONLY EVENS WITH VC BET


Steven Gerrard is now the even money favourite to captain England against Switzerland next week, after newspaper reports suggested Fabio Capello was worried about the match fitness of David Beckham.

“He might opt to start David Beckham on the bench, and that would then leave the door open for Steven Gerrard to claim the arm band.” said spokesman Neal Wilkins. “We have always felt that Capello would pick Gerrard as his long term captain, and this could be the start of many.”

Who will be England Captain against Switzerland?

Steven Gerrard 1/1
David Beckham 15/8
Rio Ferdinand 8/1
Michael Owen 10/1
Owen Hargreaves 14/1
Wayne Rooney 22/1

Others on request.
