Thanks to it being the largest, the Premier League is also considered one of the most lucrative competitions to bet on. Since the season extensive and usually closely-knit throughout, it can provide great opportunities for punters to benefit from fantastic odds.
The transfer deadline change
Over the years, the Premier League season would start before the transfer market even closes and, for that reason, it has been quite eventful and unpredictable straight from the off. Clubs from the top tier of English football have, however, voted to change the practice and since August 2018 a Premier League summer transfer window is to officially commence on the Thursday before the start of the season.
Such a rule is intended to stabilise the competition but is not expected to take away the excitement and anticipation. The early stages of a season would often spring plenty of surprises and see the underdogs benefit from high expectations and pressure sitting on the favourites’ shoulders. As the season progresses, however, it the teams slowly start finding their rhythm and form which – in case of top English sides – makes betting on the favourites at home the way to go.
Popular betting tips
Some teams are more attractive to watch and, as a result, tend to produce more goals. Betting on goals turned out to be quite a popular option with Liverpool and Manchester City in particular, in the season of 2018/19. Other teams, such as Stoke, for example, are no strangers to defending their ground.
There is a reason they say - if you can do it on a rainy night in Stoke, you can do it almost anywhere.
