Premier League
The English Premier League is one of the best leagues in the world and has some of the most famous teams and players on the planet playing in it. The top teams in the English Premier League regularly make it to the latter stages of the biggest European competitions such as the UEFA Champions League and the newly re-branded Europa League.
Betting on the English Premier League is incredibly popular in the UK and around the world. The volume of bets made every weekend on Premier League games is one of the highest in the world. The fact that the league is broadcast on television worldwide make it the most accessible league to viewers across the planet.
The vast sums of television money that the English Premier League gains is part of the reason why it has taken off globally and continues to be the most commercially successful and richest football league in the world. The top teams in the Premier League are able to attract fans from all around the world, something even the biggest clubs in lesser countries aren’t able to do.
Despite the dominance of Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United in recent seasons, the battle for the title has nearly always been a close run thing. This makes betting on the league winner a very popular but also very difficult thing to predict.
In terms of challengers to the status quo in the EPL, one side look likely to challenge in the very near future, Manchester City. With incredibly rich backers demanding success and the ability to attract some excellent players, the blue half of Manchester could soon be experiencing the kind of success that the side managed by Sir Alex Ferguson have had since the start of the Premier League in 1992.
Manchester United have won the title three seasons in a row and are looking like strong challengers again in the 2009/10 season. Chelsea are considered by many to be the main threat to United’s dominance this season as Arsenal and Liverpool seem less capable of lasting the pace and winning crucial games.
Betting the Premier League winner without the top four is a popular choice with many people as there are quite a few clubs that keenly contest for fifth place. These teams include; Everton, Aston Villa, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur.
