Premier League 2010/11 Odds

admin — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 02:23:47 +0000

The Premier League 2010/11 Season is almost up on us, and after a summer to forget it will be nice to get back to what promises to be one of the most exciting Premiership seasons yet.

The sound of World Cup vuvuzelas has just about started to fade, but football fans are already looking around for the next opportunity to make some football betting profits. Fortunately, we are nearing the start of the English Premier League 2010/11 season, and bookmakers are already offering a number of markets for the shrewd “early bird” to examine.

Premier League 2010/11 Winner Odds:

Will Chelsea become Premier League Champions again or will another team grab that title? The number one market for Premier League betting is the English Premier League Outright market. At the Sky Bet sports betting site the 2009/10 winners Chelsea are installed as the 6/4 favourites to be the 2010/11 Premiership Champions, with Manchester United at 9/4 and Manchester City at 5/1. Arsenal are fourth in the betting at 7/1 with Liverpool the next best at 11/1. You can get odds of 35/1 on Tottenham and odds of 150/1 or better about any other team winning the English Premier League title, but if history dictates that the winner will probably come from the top 5.

View full The Premier League Outright Winner odds here.

Premier League 2010/11 Top Goalscorer Odds:

The Premier League top scorer usually comes from one of the top 4 but there is also the chance of a surprise winner as history has shown. Wayne Rooney and Fernando Torres are favourites at 9/2, but after poor world Cup showings, will they continue where they left off when they return to the Premier League or will they carry over the tiredness that was evident in South Africa? The ever dangerous Didier Drogba is 3rd favourite at 5/1 and is followed up by Tevez at 8/1 and Robin Van Persie at 10/1. However there are very good odds on the rest of the Premier League strikers if you think this season could throw up a few surprises. Could Jermaine Defoe fire Spurs to glory or will a new signing such as Marouane Chamakh take the Premiership by storm.

Barclays Premier League 2010/11 Relegation Odds

As usual the 3 newly promoted teams feature heavily in the favourites to be relegated, with Blackpool obvious and clear favourites to go down at 2/7, followed by West Brom at 4/5 and Newcastle at 11/4. Of last seasons Premiership teams, West Ham are most likely to suffer the drop at 5/1.

World Cup 2010 – England – Review, Free Bets & Offers

admin — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 00:44:56 +0000

You might not be hearing it from the England camp, but there is no denying they have got a great chance of winning the World Cup; these boys are right in the mix.

I know everybody in the squad has been playing it down – probably because of the coach – but we have plenty of world-class players, players that are feared by other countries. Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard and Wayne Rooney, are up there with the likes of Lionel Messi when it comes to the best in the world. The majority of our players regularly compete against the top players with their clubs and are, you have to say, on a par with them.

Also we have an incredible half of the draw (England to win 6/1) – it couldn’t be more favourable. One game I can’t get out of my mind is the friendly defeat by Spain back in February when they outplayed us, but we had a few missing that night and the one thing that you have to take into account is that England’s draw is so kind, they won’t be playing a Spain (7/2) or a Brazil (9/2) – my two favourites – until the semi-finals or final anyway.

And when you get to that stage, anything can happen, it really can. Luck is something England never seem to get in major tournaments but if that can change then I do think this bunch of players can go all the way.

The heat won’t be a problem for once and although the altitude and new ball are causing concern, the only people I’ve heard moaning about it are goalkeepers – which is good news. Instead of being 20 yards out and fancying a pop, expect people to be doing it from 30 yards out. Gerrard and Lampard, Gareth Barry and James Milner are excellent free-kick takers and we have a few, not least Rooney, who can and are not afraid to strike the ball from distance.

Look at those factors and there is plenty going in England’s favour in South Africa. But I am pleased we have heard nothing like that coming out of the England camp; these boys know they have to keep their heads down and work hard first and foremost. And they know if they do come out and make predictions or tell the world they’re going to do this and that, if they don’t toe the line, then Fabio Capello will be on them like a tonne of bricks.
Respect

Capello is another reason, why England can do it. He is a tough man as he showed – rightly or wrongly – by dropping Theo Walcott from his final 23. Under previous regimes, players were coming out and saying all sorts of things and making all sorts of predictions and you just didn’t feel there was that same respect, or even fear, or previous managers. Let’s be honest, it was harder to get out of Sven Goran Eriksson’s squads than in them! That’s not the case with Capello.

If that was ever in doubt, it isn’t anymore. I have to admit I do feel sorry for Theo Walcott because if Capello has said he knew his 23 three weeks ago, why did he bother starting him against Japan and Mexico? After all, the lad was alright for England when he scored that hat-trick against Croatia!

I also feel a little sympathy for Adam Johnson and would’ve liked to have seen him go as well. By all accounts he has been performing out of his skin in training and he can come on and beat players and provide something different down the left if needs be. He reminds me of Ryan Giggs like that and sometimes at these tournaments, young players come of age, make an impact and make a name for themselves.

The only other real dilemma was leaving Darren Bent out, but I’ve got to say I have no problem with that. Striker is the hardest position to play because you are judged on goals and because of that there would’ve been so much pressure on Darren. He’s never going to stand out through his tricks, flicks and skills or be easy on the eye, so goals are all he can offer.

And if you look at Wayne Rooney’s record when he’s played alongside Emile Heskey – I think it’s something like 10 goals in 10 games – it shows you how valuable Emile can be. Admittedly he won’t be under the same pressure to score, literally because we don’t expect him to, but he will lead the line, hold the ball up, cause mayhem and create space for Rooney (Rooney to be top scorer 10/1). And believe me, he’s not as bad a finisher as you’d think.

Of course, the stage is set for Rooney this summer. He is already an incredible footballer and the best thing you can say about him is those sort of players don’t come along very often. The lad is a throwback; he loves football, he just loves playing and he loves winning. You get the feeling if he was driving home from training and saw some kids having a kickabout in the park, he’d be pull over and join in.

I am a little worried though that Wayne hasn;t scored a goal since Bayern Munich at the end of March, though. I know people say the injury will have done him good and he will be fresh, but I would much rather he came bouncing into this World Cup with five or six goals behind him, bang in form. The last thing we want is an uptight, anxious Wayne Rooney, because if he gets frustrated and goes around kicking people, there is only going to be one winner there. And it won’t be England.

Pressure

Having said that, it’s impossible not to get excited if you are a player at the World Cup. I remember being named in the Euro 96 squad and it is the best feeling ever. Looking at it now, having retired a few years ago, I would give anything to relive that moment; knowing you are going to represent your country at a major tournament with the world watching. It’s the stuff you dream of.

Of course it’s intense and there’s an incredible amount of pressure on those 23 players, but at the same time it’s great fun. Like everyone back home, they will be aware of that, but all they will be thinking about is the USA game and what’s next. The pressure is on in every single game and you cannot afford to look ahead.

In the past England’s problem has been we have expected so much yet delivered too little. This time, I really don’t see any reason why that can’t be the other way round. Those players know they can put themselves on the map and for whoever wins, it will be a life-changing summer. And after 44 years of waiting, can you imagine what it will be like if those boys can do it? I can’t think of a World Cup since then, when they had a better chance.

Premier League Odds: 21st and 22nd Nov 2009

admin — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 05:01:22 +0000

Paddy Power are well known for offering the best odds on the UK market and after comparing the available prices for this coming weekends fixtures, Paddy Power are offering the best prices once again. Therefore we have selected them as our odds provider for the Premier League fixtures on the weekend of the 21st and 22nd of November 2009.

This weekend promises to be another thrilling weekend of action, with players returning from a two week break from the league and finding fitness, whilst the England players return from a long and tiring trip to warmth of Doha in Qatar. How will this effect results? Could tired international players returning against others with fresh legs throw up a few surprises? Its happened before and is something to look out for.

Liverpools poor form has being well documented and on the back of a lucky draw against Birmingham City and with a few injury problems could there poor form be set to continue? Man City at 3/1 could be a good bet.
Burnleys home form has being fantastic whilst Aston Villa have not being at there best away, a 2/1 bet on Burnley looks good business.
Chelsea at 1/8 looks to be a dead cert, but if you fancy a quid on an outsider, Wolves at an outside 16/1 are high odds.
Sunderland at 5/1 against Arsenal could be a good outsider also.
