Paddy Powers Robbie & Relegation Betting

Everton are the 5/2 favourites to be the next destination for Liverpools out of favour striker Robbie Keane.

Following requests from punters in Ireland and the UK bookie Paddy Power is soccer betting on Robbie Keanes next club after he failed to make the bench for Liverpools FA Cup stalemate with Everton yesterday.

With no recognised strikers Everton seem in the most need for Keanes services although the likely high cost of his transfer fee could prove a stumbling block. Everton are followed in the betting by Martin ONeills Aston Villa at 9/2 whilst Keane is 5/1 to join the Irish contingent at Sunderland.

Having already brought Defoe and Chimbonda back into the fold, Spurs are 11/2 to bring Keane back to The Lane, the same price as money-bags Manchester City.

Darren Haines, spokesman for Paddy Power, said: Its all gone wrong for Robbie and looks to be more a case of when and not if he moves on from Liverpool. Our punters think the game is up at Anfield and want to bet on where he goes next but the problem for Keane might be that there are few clubs in the current climate that can afford him.

Relegation Wagers
Meanwhile with action returning to the Premier League this week Paddy Power sportsbook are betting on who will finish bottom in the relegation dogfight. Stoke are the 7/4 favourites closely followed by West Brom at 2/1.

The bookie is also offering 20/1 for the three new boys to go back down. Stoke, who Paddy Power paid out on going down back in August, West Brom and the fast-sliding Hull lead the way in relegation betting at 2/5, 1/2 and 11/4, respectively.
