Carling Cup Football Betting 2009-2010
Online football betting fans can sense when the soccer season is just around yon corner by the merest whiff of Carling Cup Betting in the late summer breeze. And with it the onset of the next hardcore internet football betting campaign cranking up for another goal-den season of more ups than downs. Hopefully. Along with the Barclays Premier League, UEFA Champions League and the FA Cup, the Carling Cup football betting 2009-2010 (colloquially known as the League Cup, less the commercial sponsorship) serves as one of the foremost interactive football betting opportunities for online punters who've signed up to a host of leading virtual bookmakers in the close season to deal with their online betting enquiries and interests.
Or who are otherwise past-masters at turning their small pot of cash into large heaps of the folding stuff, having spent many seasons closely following and expertly scrutinizing every plausible eventuality that a typical English football fixture throws up to the avid spectator. And specifically those who like to add another dimension to their enjoyment and passion for the nation's favourite spectator sport by way of backing who they believe could be a winner courtesy of individual bookmakers' Carling Cup football betting 2009-2010 online sections, at the end of the day. Or rather afternoon. 4.45pm on a Saturday traditionally, although thanks to Sky Sports' live televisual coverage this could just as easily be 9.45pm on a Tuesday or Wednesday evening, but you've seen what we're angling at. Moreover, and similar to any mainstream football match these days, a phalanx of online bookmakers will guide the keen internet football punter through the infinite selection of bets that you can place in this exciting, far-reaching, yet ultimately safe interactive environment, leaving you with nothing more taxing to do other than make your online betting choice from the comfort of your own PC-proximate swivel chair.
Carling Cup Final Betting 2009-2010
Aston Villa and Manchester United have negotiated their way through the early rounds of fielding below full strength sides, the odd feisty affair (a semi-final against local rivals) and even a 10-goal thriller to book their place in February’s final. Now they will contest the decade’s first Wembley final for the first piece of silverware of the season and certainly in Aston Villa’s case book a place in next season’s Europa League (if Manchester United win, the Europa League spot will go to the next highest finishing Premier League team).
Those who fancy getting involved in Carling Cup Football Betting 2009-2010 at this stage should (perhaps obviously) clarify between 90 minute betting and outright winner betting. Manchester United are 10/11 to win the game in normal time but 4/9 to ultimately lift the trophy, whilst Aston Villa are 7/2 to win in 90 minutes or 15/8 to be the eventual victors. It’s 23/10 that the game will end all square and go into Extra Time at least and you can also bet on the method of victory like Manchester United to win on penalties or Villa to win it in Extra Time. There will also be the usual plethora of peripheral markets which allow you to bet on anything and everything that you can imagine relating to the game. Carling Cup Football Betting 2009-2010 promises to come to an almighty climax with a hotly contested final between two in-form teams.

Manchester United - 8/15 with Betfred
Aston Villa - 7/4 with Bet365
Rooney breaks City hearts
28/01/2010
Despite the efforts of Carlos Tevez and three goals against his former club, the 2009-2010 League Cup final will not be Manchester City’s first domestic cup final in over 28 years. It took yet another injury time goal for United to see off their city rivals, this time a headed goal from Wayne Rooney was the dagger in the heart of those singing ‘Blue Moon’ just as the game looked to be heading into extra time.
Although it means much more to City fans, for everyone else it means that we have an Aston Villa versus Manchester United final at the end of February. The Carling Cup Football Betting 2009-2010 suggests that United at 8/15 are the most likely to lift the trophy with Villa available to back at 7/4, yet those who cast their minds back to the league encounter between the two sides – which Villa won 1-0 at Old Trafford – will agree that it may not be so straight forward for Rooney & Co.
Online Football Betting Fans Find Better Odds With Carling Cup Markets
So what is the Carling Cup all about then? Well, just before the real football season (that'll be the Barclays Premier League for those in any doubt) gets under way good and proper, the small matter of the Carling Cup crops up in early August. Although nothing more than an inconvenience if your surname sounds like Ferguson or Wenger - when you have to keep your eye trained on the biggest prizes in the game (the Premiership and Champions League titles and the FA Cup allegedly - oh, and the World Supercup thingamajig if you're contesting it on t'other side of the globe at the time) - the Carling Cup presents 'smaller' clubs with the chance to share the same pitch with some of the game's greats. Or rather, some of the game's great's reserve sides.
Assuming they'll get knocked out of the FA Cup by some former mining community's Sunday league side at the first hurdle, many Coca Cola Football League sides have only the Johnston's-Paint-cum-Leyland-DAF-Trophy-Northern/Southern-Section-Combined-Cup to look forward to in terms of a semi-lucrative cup run for the remainder of the season. Therefore the Carling Cup represents their biggest shot at generating a higher profile for their club and more groats to add to the Chairman's retirement fund should they string together a half decent run of shock results on their way to the second/third round.
So the question on every online football betting fans' lips is this. Just who'll be this season's Burnley? Who? Burnley! If you cast your minds back to earlier in 2009, the Turf Moor outfit were the talk of more than their former mill town as the unfashionable northern club stopped the cultured likes of Fulham, Chelsea and Arsenal in their golden-booted stride on the Claret's way to their eventual semi-final defeat, only after a replay against Tottenham Hotspur. Which just goes to prove that fairytales can happen in the Carling Cup as well as the FA Cup for all those heathens out there.
2009-2010 Carling Cup Provides Great Internet Football Betting Opportunities
From a betting point of view the Carling Cup remains fantastic value for money though. And the reason is as simples as that annoying TV Meerkat would concur. With the continued pattern of the bigger of the Premiership boys (with more at stake in terms of Premier League and UEFA Champions League glory) sacrificing their muted (at best, pitifully poor at worst) interest in the Carling Cup in favour of concentrating their efforts on these aforementioned holy grails by which their seasons are measured in the eyes of the Chairmen, major share-holders and fans, equates to plucky teams from outside the highest division of the English game being able to perhaps plot a route to untold success and relative riches at the expense of long term-focusing Premier League successes from their high and mighty footballing contemporaries.
Despite this the online bookmakers are still can't see past the big four Premiership sides to lift the Carling Cup next May. Which means that good prices are there to be had right now. William Hill for example suggests that Chelsea are odds on favourites at 9 - 2, with Manchester United following closely behind at 11 - 2. Liverpool are adjudged to be 13 - 2, whilst Arsenal can be supported at 7 - 1. Manchester City are deemed the only club with a chance of gatecrashing this Carling Cup party (8 - 1) with both Spurs (12 - 1) and Everton (14 - 1) tucked in behind. To discover any club outside of the Premiership with a chance of going all the way you have to scroll down to West Bromwich Albion, who at a price of 50 - 1 could be worth a punt.
Last season's surprise package of none-Barclays Premier League status (Burnley, who have since been accepted) are available at 66 - 1 to go 90 minutes better than last time around, while red-faced Newcastle United are offered at the same price to claim their first piece of silverware since the 1969 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup. Ipswich Town under their Volcanic new manager Roy Keane are well worth a punt in our estimation (100 - 1), and cup specialists of recent vintage such as Swansea City are 125 - 1 outsiders, along with fellow potential giant-killers Preston North End. And whose to say that Peterborough United under Darren (you know who is dad is don't you?) Ferguson aren't capable of upsetting the odds (150 - 1), or for that matter Tranmere Rovers (1000 - 1) who have been known to unnerve the Premier League glitteratti in their time, for an each way bet.
