Here are my thoughts regarding the top goal scorer of Premier League 2010 / 2011:

I am pretty sure that we will find the winner of this title somewhere among these players. My first thought was to only present the top 20 favourites but then I realized that I would miss players like Agbonlahor, Walcott, Pavlyuchenko and these are players that defiantly are capable to win this price even thought the chances are small.

According to the odds that bwin’s traders have set, Wayne Rooney is favourite to become top goal scorer in Premier League, tightly followed by Didier Drogba and Fernando Torres. I am about to agree that these are the three players that should be favourites as well. Rooney (6.50 in odds) does most of Manchester United’s goals and he often plays most of the matches. Didier Drogba is supposed to score most of Chelsea’s goals even though Nicolas Anelka did it last year. Drogba takes most of the free kicks and is actually the sharpest striker.

Fernando Torres defiantly scores most in Liverpool, when he is not injured. I remember that Torres stood on 4.50 in odds before last years premier league started, but all his injury-problems probably has taken him down a bit on the odds-list.

All these three players have good possibilities to become top goal scorer in premier league this season, but the question is if its value in betting on them?

I have some other names down in the list, with way higher odds, that are interesting as well. You cannot forget a player who won last year and still is playing in the same team on the same position – Nicolas Anelka @ 25.00 in odds.

If a player like Robin Van Persie can stay away from injuries, he is defiantly a candidate for this title, 12.00 in odds on a bet on Van Persie feels interesting as well.

Since I think that Manchester City can bee one of the teams that will fight in the top of the table, at least one of their players should be mentioned in this list over potential good bets. For me it is clear that Carlos Tevez will be there best goal scorer.

A bit down on the odds list there are players like Berbatov @ 41.00 in odds, which seem interesting. I actually do not like Berbatov’s way of playing and his body language when he keeps whining as soon as he does not get the ball. But at the same time he has so much football inside of him and if the season starts well he might become a top corer.  While we are talking about high odds players, I should mention Gabriel Agbonlahor, Roman Pavlyuchenko and Nani who all pays 81 in odds.

So, which player do I found most valuable to bet on? I would like to place a bet on more then one player. But my best bettingtips is:

Fernando Torres @ 7.00 in odds. If that guy can stay away from injuries he is the only goal scorer in Liverpool who is a sure scorer. All the other top teams have lots of potential goal scorers but Torres is the only striker in Liverpool (besides captain Gerrard).

If you want to gamble a bit and try a player with higher odds, I would recommend Berbatov @ 41.00 in odds or Louis Saha @ 51.00 in odds.

In next text, I will share some other special bets with you.

Now I have presented my thoughts regarding Premier League’s top scorer for you. In this text, I have searched for some other interesting season bets to invest your money on. All the odds is picked from bwin online fotboll betting, and here is my mix of bettingtips and the odds that I choose between:

Premeier League 2010 / 2011 – to finish top 4

Odds:

FC Chelsea, odds: 1.02

Manchester United, odds: 1.12

Manchester City, odds: 1.50

FC Arsenal, odds: 1.55

FC Liverpool, odds: 2.25

Tottenham Hotspur, odds: 3.50

FC Everton, odds: 7.50

Aston Villa, odds: 9.00

This bet means four winners since there will be four teams that will end on top four. That is why the odds are so low compared to other bets. Manchester United and Chelsea will for sure end on top four, everything else would be a great surprise for me. However, at the same time they pay 1.02 and 1.12 in odds. If you want a “safe” bet this are defiantly two sure bets. However, I would not place my money on these since the teams are to big favourites. Maybe I could invest some money on Manchester United at 1.12 in odds but never on Chelsea.

My bettingtips on this bet is:

Manchester City to end on top four @ 1.50 in odds.

Manchester City is my outsider to win the Premier League this year after all their new players that they have bought. Mancini finished strongly last season after have preplaced Mark Hughes as manager and this year he have a even stronger squad to choose from. I feel that teams like Liverpool and Arsenal can find it hard to finish top four and if Manchester City does, at least one of Liverpool or Arsenal have to step aside. I find the odds 1.50 worth betting on here and pick Manchester City to end top four.

Which team will finish highest in the Premier League 2010 / 2011?

Manchester United, odds: 1.20

FC Liverpool, odds: 4.50

FC Everton, odds: 18.00

My bettingtips: Manchester United @ 1.20 in odds

As I mentioned above, Manchester united might was worth betting on to ending top four in the league. Then I find this bet way more worth betting on that top 4. Since I cannot see Everton ending top four, and since I find it hard for Liverpool to end top four this year either, I find 1.20 in odds on Manchester United to finish higher then Everton and Liverpool interesting.

Everton finished eighth in the league last year and Liverpool seventh. Manchester United finished second, only one point behind winning Chelsea. United where whole 22 points before Liverpool and 24 points ahead of Everton last year, and still it is Man United that has bought the most interesting player (Hernandez). Therefore, I almost see this bet as 20 % guaranteed return on investment later in spring even though you should not see betting as sure money.

Teams to be relegated from Premier League 2010 / 2011?

odds:

Blackpool, odds: 1.25

West Bromwich, odds: 1.80

Wolverhampton Wanderers, odds: 3.25

Wigan Athletic, odds: 3.25

Newcastle United, odds: 4.00

Bolton Wanderers, odds: 5.00

West Ham United, odds: 5.50

Blackburn Rovers, odds: 7.00

Stoke City, odds: 7.00

Birmingham City, odds: 7.00

Fulham, odds: 8.50

Sunderland, odds: 11.00

From this list I think that Sunderland, Fulham and Birmingham feels safe to not being relegated after this season. All of them have to strong teams. Stoke and Blackburn feels pretty strong, but I am not that sure over these teams as over the three I mentioned above. Stoke is living a lot on their strong home stats at Air Britannia, where they take lots of their points.

Looking down a bit on the list it is not strange that Blackpool is the biggest favourite to being relegated. According to me its too low odds to bet on @ 1.25. West Bromwich pays 1.80 in odds and that is too low according to me as well, especially since I think that they can avoid relegation this year. So my best bettingtips on which will be one of three teams to be relegated is:

Wigan Athletic @ 3.25 in odds.

Wigan had a tough season last year, and it will probably get even tougher this time since both West Bromwich and Newcastle has joined Premier League. I feel that over 3 times money back on Wigan to being relegated is valuable to bet on and that is what I bet on here.

Good Luck with your premier league betting

Bet on Chelsea at 1.70

Football betting odds can often tell you a lot. Chelsea are currently offered at odds of 1.70 which is less than 50% of the current odds for Manchester United at 3.50. For Chelsea to be viewed as twice as likely to win the title as Man Utd at this point of the season tells me that a tip on Chelsea is valid. Due to their imminent transfer ban after the next transfer window I think that they will spend big in January to secure their immediate future and this will only help strengthen their squad.

Bet on Man Utd at 3.50

This is probably the value bet of the current market although they have it all to do to haul back the mighty Chelsea. Wayne Rooney has stepped into the role of principal goalscorer excellently. Whilst the team miss the sheer brilliance of Cristiano Ronaldo, many players who had to assume defensive duties to accommodate Ronaldo are now able to flourish as attacking players once again. I believe that this season may be the one season where Chelsea holds a definite edge as the Man Utd team adjusts. Historically, Man Utd always does well after Christmas so Chelsea will need to win most of their games to win the title. 3.50 may look very high odds for Man Utd to win the league come the end of the season. Today’s news reports that Vidic may want to leave for a warmer climate but he will not be sold before the end of the season so football betting fans should not worry about them selling him during the January transfer window. Manager Alex Ferguson never allows this sort of disruption mid season. The edge Chelsea may have is that they will probably strengthen in January whilst Man Utd probably will not.

Bet on Arsenal at 5.25

Arsene Wenger is currently three points behind Manchester Utd but with a game in hand. They are certainly contenders but have no recognised left back after Keiron Gibbs suffered a broken foot this week. It is devastating for Gibbs who is being watched by Capello for possible late inclusion into the England World Cup squad. First choice left back Gael Clichy is still three weeks away from returning to action. You question whether Arsenal can win the required amount of points to win the Premier League and they lost to Sunderland despite being favourites for that match. They do seem to have a habit of losing winnable matches they should win, a habit not shared by the other top teams.

Bet on Liverpool at 25.00

The newspapers are hammering Liverpool with article after article about manager Rafa Benitez who is again facing the sack after Liverpool exited the Champion’s League in the group stages. This will put great financial strain on the club who are already struggling under large debts and needed the TV revenue from a good Champions League run to help service the debts the club has. Things seem to be going from bad to worse for the Merseysiders and I would not bet on them at the moment even at 34.00. I know from personal experience supporting Newcastle Utd that when off field activities go wrong this is often reflected on the pitch.

Slowly but surely it looks like the 2009/2010 football season will be a two horse race between Chelsea and Manchester Utd. Manchester may rue the decision not to splash some of the cash on a replacement for Ronaldo but are performing well so far. You worry about them if they get an injury crisis and have some important decisions to make regarding long term squad players as Scholes, Van Der Sar, Neville and Giggs are almost at the end of their careers.

My tip for the Premier League at the moment is Chelsea at 1.70.

By Malcolm Clarke

It will be interesting to see how United cope without Ronaldo and Tevez and if Valencia and Owen will settle in quickly enough to adequately fill the gap. Manchester City have been splashing the cash again after spending a reputed £25 million on Emmanuel Adebayor from Arsenal.

Along with Gareth Barry, Roque Santa Cruz and Carlos Tevez, they now boast one of the best strike forces in the league. They still chase John Terry of course as rumours fly that the Chelsea captain is becoming increasingly frustrated at how Chelsea have reacted to the interest from City.

Talk of a £300,000 a week salary has been rife but Terry seems to be angered by the stance of Chelsea in that they appear to be automatically taking for granted the fact that Terry will not leave. Close friends of Terry appear to be saying that it is in the balance whether he leaves or not. If he does go then this could prove pivotal in Chelsea’s chances of wrestling the title away from Manchester United next season.

In past seasons, Chelsea have never looked the same defensively whenever Terry has been absent and it will be a massive blow for new manager Carlo Ancelotti if he is to start the new season without his talismanic captain.

As always there will be massive gambling interest in the league title and not just in England but all over the world. At this time the Premier League is the most bet-on football league anywhere in the world. The sheer global appeal of the Premier League and the fact that there is so much known about the teams by the gamblers means that they have far more confidence when it comes to betting and risking money.

In fact many shrewd gamblers look to make a quick killing on the Premier League by assessing the fixture list first. One of the drawbacks to placing a bet on the winner of the league at the start of the season is in the length of time that it will take for you to get your winnings. Long term markets tend to put off an awful lot of pro gamblers for this very reason because it is tying up money for too long…..money that could easily be used down other avenues.

However there is potential profit in laying one of the big four at the start of the season and this can especially be the case if they are starting with what are relatively difficult fixtures. It isn’t difficult to envisage Liverpool for example dropping a few points if their first five matches are against Tottenham, Everton, Aston Villa, Fulham and Chelsea. If Liverpool only have say five points after five matches then their price for the title will drift accordingly.

Also top sides can easily have a poor opening month, one only has to look at Manchester United last season who got off to a poor start by their standards for proof of that. It is the average performances over the space of a season that dictates who the top sides are at the end and that fails to show itself during the opening matches with great regularity. Laying a short priced top four side at the start of the season could lead to guaranteed profit after just a few matches as you can back them at a higher price, thus locking in the profit.
