Premier League Football Betting
The English Premier League was created in 1992 replacing the old First Division as the country’s top tier of football, taking on independent broadcast and sponsorship rights and eventually creating the all conquering machine that we know today as the English Premier League.
Up until 2007 the league was known as the English Premiership taking on a variety of prefix sponsor names such as Carling, Barclaycard and Barclays before becoming the Barclays Premier League at the beginning of the 2007-2008 season.

It is not entirely coincidental that the rise of the Sports Betting industry coincides with the rise of the English Premier League. Premier League Football Betting has developed and pioneered the way since the inception of the Premier League. A regular stream of football matches being beamed in to the homes and pubs of the country mean that there is never a shortage of Premier League Football Betting prospects as well as punters willing to uptake those opportunities; the Skybet slogan “it matters more when there’s money on it,” is a prime example of the betting public’s attitude.
Premier League Football Betting Options
When it comes to Premier League Football Betting the days of only being able to be t on the outcome of the game and the first goalscorer are long gone. Punters can now bet on an incredible amount of markets ranging from who will win the first corner of the game and how many bookings there will be to the time of the first goal and whether a hat-trick will be scored. William Hill, for example, now offer in excess of 170 markets for televised Premier League games.
Without Premier League Football Betting it is difficult to envisage whether in-play betting (betting whilst an event is in progress) would be quite as advanced and widespread as it is today. You can now bet on almost as many in-play markets whilst a match is in progress as there are betting markets available prior to kick-off.
Premier League Football Betting Tips
Only four clubs have ever won the Premier League (or Premiership) throughout its history – Manchester United (12), Chelsea (3), Arsenal (3) and Blackburn (1) – and that list does not include Liverpool despite them being considered one of the ‘Big Four’ for a long period. This suggests that punters should not get too adventurous when putting their money down on the outright winner Premier League Betting markets.
At the other end of the table punters should note that being bottom at Christmas is an almost certain precursor to relegation from the Premier League. Only once has a team who are bottom of the league on Christmas day not been relegated – West Brom pulled off the ‘Great Escape’ in 2004-05 season to buck the trend. The odds on offer aren’t likely to make you rich overnight but one constant Premier League Football Betting tip is to back the team who are bottom of the league on December 25th to be relegated.
