Premier League 18/19

[The Bean Counter]

Can't see anybody getting close to Man City this year. My team (Portsmouth) have made a decent start in League One.

Does anybody do any football betting here? I'm going to experiment this season by making a few hundred small bets and see how that goes.

Football betting is a mugs game and no one makes money from it.

City have taken a pretty big knock with De Bryune getting injured. Will hardly make them pushovers but at the same time he has consistently been the difference in picking up points in tight games.

I dunno.. Leicester were 5000/1 to win the league... now, while it was a miracle, it still happens more than once every 5000 years. I mean, Wimbledon won the FA Cup in our childhood. Oxford and Luton won the League Cup. Forest won the title and two European cups. Even Birmingham have a cup. This all happened in the last 40 years.

Just had a look at the odds on betfair exchange (usually the best price avaioable).
Everton are 330/1 to win the league. That's more generous than it should be, since if we did this 300 times, Everton are going to win one or two titles. They won a few in the 80's against the greatest Liverpool side in history.

You can get 4/1 on Spurs in the [without City] market. That's printing money, seeing as it's near certain to be them or Liverpool.

And Bournemouth, sitting third with 7 points from 9, are 1000/1 to win the league. Again, very unlikely, but once every millenium? From this position, they win more than one title every 1000 years.

I might stick a couple of quid on Bournemouth.
