Betting Picks

How has the football season been treating you so far? If you’ve kept up with the Premier League in their 2009/2010 season, you know that things are just now starting to heat up. Picking a winner now would be next to impossible, but that’s the beautiful thing about betting: it’s the thrill of it all – the sport within a sport.

Gambling has its place in football. It’s the world’s largest sport, hands down, and the Premier League is the top English league, thus one of the most popular in Europe. Already in the season, Manchester United is proving to be atop of bookmakers’ favorites list. Man U is no stranger to the PL limelight. Since 1992, the club from Old Trafford has won the championship an impressive 11 times (92/93, 93/94, 95/96, 98/99, 99/00, 00/01, 02/03, 06/07, 07/08, and 08/09).

Man U has developed a hefty following all over the world, and like any great sports franchise, they have their heated rivals in Chelsea and Arsenal. With Man U winning the past three seasons, it’s been a hard pill to swallow for fans of other franchises in the sport. But there’s still some hope for every team this early in the sporting year.

Some of the fan favorites have yet to show any flash on the field, namely Liverpool and their 15 point total, good enough for only 8th place. Aston Villa is an exciting prospect in 6th place, and even Tottenham is looking great, with their 3rd place standing and 19 championship points. But at number one and two, it’s Man U and Chelsea holding down the fort. So, does that mean it’s all locked up? Some would beg to differ on that.

In recent weeks, it has become clear that Arsenal is back in championship form. Fans of Arsenal know all too well of the untimely injuries that have plagued the squad for many years in a row, but thus far, they’re healthy as a horse and currently sitting in 4th place with a record of 6-0-2.

It’s far too early in the season to know who has the best shot at winning. Because of their history and current standing, Man U is a prohibited favorite, but other teams continue to nip at their heels. Picking an overall winner this season will be extremely difficult. But in the meantime, there’s some great game-to-game football happening in numerous leagues across the globe. That’s more than enough to keep any fan busy.
