English Premier League Football Bets

The Premier League is the top division of the English football hierarchy. It is consists of twenty teams, each of which plays the other nineteen opponents twice a season once at home and away, meaning each Premier League team plays 38 league fixtures in a season. In addition all Premier League teams play additional fixtures in the League Cup and FA Cup. Before the Premier League was established in 1992, the league had been known as the Football League first Division since 1888.

At the start of every Premier League season Antepost football betting is one of the most popular bet types amongst football fans as bets are placed on who supporters' think will finish top of the Premier League at the end of the season. The team who finishes top of the Premier League is crowned Champions but fans can bet each-way on the Premier League antepost market, with bookmakers offering up to quarter of the odds on a team finishing in the top four. The four Premier League teams who occupy positions first to fourth at the end of the Premier League season qualify for the following season's Champions League.

Relegation betting has become increasingly popular in recent years with odds being offered by bookmakers on which teams will finish in the bottom three positions in the Premier League and subsequently be relegated to The Championship.

Betting on which Premier League player will score the most goals in the season and win the Golden Boot award is also a very popular antepost bet and has provided football punters with some big priced winners in recent years.

The odds on the Premier League outright winner, relegation odds and top goalscorer are constantly updated throughout the season by bookmakers, with the antepost odds changing weekly as teams win, lose or draw their regular season games. Other factors such as signings that Premier League teams make also influence the betting odds.

Outside these times Premier League teams cannot sign players from other clubs.
