William Hill have opened two books concentrating on Premiership red cards in the new season - making Steve Bennett 11/4 favourite to show the most red cards during the season, and Birmingham 4/1 favourites to have the most red cards awarded against them during the campaign.

‘Every club starts the season declaring that they are determined to avoid red cards at all costs, and refs confirm that they regard red cards as the last resort - but as soon as the whistle goes all the good intentions seem to go out of the window and players and refs begin to see red regularly, so we have introduced these two books concentraing on sendings-off’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

‘I would imagine that West Ham, who seem to be acquiring a collection of Premiership bad boys might be a popular choice with punters.’

Which club will get the most premiership red cards this season?

4/1 Birmingham;
9/2 Blackburn;
8/1 Bolton;
10/1 Wigan;
12 Fulham;
14 Arsenal, Chelsea, Derby, Sunderland;
16 Man City; West Ham;
20 Everton; Middlesbro; Newcastle;
25 Spurs; Villa;
33 Portsmouth; Reading;
50 Liverpool; Man U

(One quarter 1,2,3 - red card ties decided on number of yellows awarded)

With Kieron Dyer set to join Premiership rogues Lee Bowyer and Craig Bellamy at West Ham, William Hill have made the club 16/1 to receive the greatest number of red cards during the Premiership season - and offer 33/1 that any two of these three players become involved in an on-pitch punch-up with each other during the course of the campaign - as Bowyer and Dyer famously did when they were at Newcastle.

‘One wonders whether the Hammers would be interested in acquiring Anelka,Lehmann and Barton for their line up but the three volatile characters they have acquired seem sure to ensure interesting times at West Ham this season.’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.

Meanwhile, Hills have opened a book on how many starts the injury-prone Dyer will make in the Premiership for West Ham this season and offer 11/8 23 or more;
6/4 18-22;
23/10 17 or fewer.
 

William Hill have opened their SPL sack race betting and male St Mirren manager Gus McPherson their 7/2 favourite with the next permanent Hearts manager offered at 9/2.

With competition at the top of the Premiership looking likely to be fiercer than ever as the top four spend money like it was going out of fashion and the rest of the division desperately trying to find a way of gate-crashing the elite section at the top, William Hill have opened a book asking punters to predit the ultimate 1-2-3 Premiership pecking order - making a finishing order of Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool their 5/1 favourite.

‘Title betting is obviously a hugely popular market, but we have decided to offer punters the chance to speculate a little more on how the division will pan out in terms of the top three this season’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.
