Premier League 2008/9 Odds

The Premier League 2008/9 odds for this 2008/2009 season are already catching the eye and the cash of the soccer punters who are taking full advantage of the pre-season odds which for many outcomes can offer the best prices. Unsurprisingly, Manchester United start as favourites and are best priced at 7/5 to retain the League, ahead of Chelsea who are 21/10. Arsenal are around 5/1 surprisingly shorter than Liverpool who can be backed at 15/2. Spurs, who are confounding everyone so far this pre-season with the speculation surrounding Berbatov and Keane, are ahead of Everton in the betting for fifth spot at 60/1. Everton for the record are currently 200/1 to win the League.

Other notable markets that can be taken advantage of are the odds for top goalscorer with Fernando Torres leading the way at 7/2. Cristiano Ronaldo who won the golden boot last year is 9/2 to do the same again this year – these are not bad odds considering the ease in which he won last year and the apparent debt he now owes the United fans after his ‘will he won't he leave' shenanigans pre-season. Drogba assuming he stays with Chelsea is a 7/1 shot, Adebayor of Arsenal is 8/1 and Dimitar Berbatov a 10/1 chance.

The relegation odds make bad reading for Stoke and Hull fans, who will note that the Bookies think they have no chance of staying up and both are odds on to get the drop. There is a little more optimism about the chances of West Brom, who are 11/10 to go down, while Fulham are 5/2. Perhaps punters should take advantage of the odds being offered that all three newly promoted clubs will go straight down, if so you can get 4/1 with VC Bet.
