The Golden Boot Premier League odds for this coming 2008/9 season has Cristiano Ronaldo as clear favourite to lift the trophy for the second time. The Golden Boot has always been a very popular betting market, where generally the best odds are available at the beginning of each new season. Ronaldo won the boot comfortably last season and that it is fundamentally why he tops the market this time. Punters however should remember that Fernando Torres of Liverpool took a little while to get going but finished the second half of the season in fine form and he followed that up with an outstanding display in Euro 2008. Before backing Torres punters should be confident that Rafael Benitez will give his number one striker enough games to be able to win the boot. Additionally with the arrival of Robbie Keane at Liverpool, it is possible that the goals could easily be shared and make life easier for Ronaldo to win. It is no surprise to see that the past winners of the golden boot since 1999/2000 season have all come from the leading four clubs and all have been the main striker of their team. Some might say that Ronaldo was not the main striker for Manchester United, but this is slightly false as he was certainly their only player licensed to attack from wherever.

Emmanuel Adebayor has vowed to top Ronaldo this season and could well succeed now that the question marks about his loyalty to Arsenal have been removed. He will spearhead a team that is built for goals and it would come as no surprise to see his name on the score-sheet every week. His odds of 11/1 are very likely to shorten so they should be taken now. Didier Drogba, an 8/1 chance is a player who many thought would have left Chelsea by now. But he hasn't and he leads an attack coached and managed by Felipe Scolari. The change of coach could just be the making of Drogba; he is a proven scorer but is often let down by poor attitude. Other odds thought noteworthy are Berbatov (Spurs) 12/1, Rooney (Man Utd) 14/1, Defoe (Portsmouth), Keane (Liverpool) 16/1, D Bent (Spurs) 20/1, Owen (Newcastle) 25/1.
