Bring On August 2013 And The New English Football Season

I like many others am starting to get impatient waiting for the new football season to start and everything it brings with it.  Waiting for midday on Saturday to come around so I can tune into Soccer Saturday on Sky Sports and get all the team news and previews of the upcoming matches. Normally I have the laptop out so I can tweak the fantasy football team while watching in case there is any breaking injury news.

So once the morning is out-of-the-way and the fantasy football submitted for the weekend, hopefully good enough to get top of the works league! It’s time to find out what games will be shown and when. Now starts the what will be tense negotiations with the other half to try to arrange some free time to catch the games that I’m most interested in (normally all of them if I have my Super 6 and Premier League accumulator bet placed). This isn’t always the easiest time as lets just say the better half’s love of the beautiful game is not quite as large as mine and so normally I will have to write off a couple of games in place of other seemingly essential weekend activities.

I’ll admit I am somewhat addicted when it comes to the football hence the excitement now that I am feeling now the pre-season has started and the transfer market is starting to hot up. Especially in a year where there has been a void of decent football during the break, no World or European Cup and I did give the Women’s European cup a watch so that I could follow the England team. Only to be disappointed as much like the men’s team they failed to live up to expectations.

So now is the time to pick my football bets for the weekend and if I happen to do an accumulator bet, hopefully it will still have a winning chance come the final game of the weekend! I do like to have a bet on the football at the weekend but nothing crazy as I’m not one to throw my hard-earned money away at silly bets and also like to get the most for my money when choosing who to place my football bets with. A good resource to get details and reviews on the available sports bookmakers on-line are bookmaker review sites and one of the sites I found http://www.freebetdeposit.com also does English Premier League and Championship match betting previews based on stats, These normally make and interesting read even if I don’t always agree with their tips.

As i mentioned earlier I also like to get value for my money as I do work hard for it and as this blog is an on-line betting diary I’ll let you know how to find these and get the best deals. On the same sports betting review sites you as part of the review will normally get the low down on any free bets and betting promotion codes available for 2013. One such deal which I have taken up is  the Coral £50 free bet match promotion for 2013 and you will find the details here http://www.freebetdeposit.com/coral-free-bet/. I read the review which game insight into what I would expect to find at Coral and I didn’t deposit the full £50 to get the full bonus as that is a bit rich for my blood but it was easy to claim and I’ll be using it when the season finally start, Only 22 days to go, not that I’m counting or anything.

Thanks for reading and please pop back for match reviews and other tips once the English football season has started.

Premier League betting 2013/14

Looking forward to the Premier League season starting? I certainly am to fill the void of no football during the summer other than the Confederations Cup, Which if I am to be honest only interests me when the big guns are playing and holds limited betting opportunities.

So with the Premier League 2013/14 season fast approaching it is worth looking at some of the betting options it will have to offer early doors. Especially as with the changes to squads during the transfer market and indeed managerial changes it can make the odds you get fluctuate, Indeed in your favour it you pick the correct time to place you bets or are interested in trading your bets when the odds move in your favour on sites such as Betfair or Betdaq.

Let’s just have a look a the top goal scorer market today and we can cover the others later.

Premier League Top Goal Scorer

Personally I think the safest bet when picking a likely top scorer is to stick with the top of the table teams such as Manchester Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester City or even Liverpool and Tottenham.

At this point I’d stick my nose out and say your safest bet would be Robin Van Persie again, even with the managerial change they will strengthen the squad and give him the service needed to find the back of the net.

Other players to consider are Luis Suarez of Liverpool who if not for his biting antics wouldn’t have been rightly banned and so would have been up there at the end of last season. But saying that he seems to want a move away so no guarantee he will actually be playing in the Premier League or who his replacement will be. Daniel Sturridge is fast growing into a quality player and is certainly an outside chance.

Lets have a look at Manchester Cities options in Edwin Dzecko, Carlos Tevez and of course Sergio Aguerro. All quality players capable or scoring plenty of goal but in my opinion due to the squad rotation that goes on at City unlikely to be right at the top. Unless the new manager chooses to stop rotating as much but only time will tell with that one.

What about Chelsea? Well who knows who is going to be there once Mourinho has made his changes to the squad. I can’t see Torres suddenly turning into the player of his Liverpool days and although Ba is a quality player I can’t see him playing enough.

The above are just a few of the options but with the transfer market just getting going, Along with rumours of Cristiano Ronaldo back to United, Higuain to Arsenal and even Cavani to Chelsea you may well want to wait until a bit closer to the season before picking your best bet.
