Market snapshot

Understanding Premier League betting odds
Premier League futures odds are constantly adjusted throughout the offseason due to player transfers and injuries. Once the season begins, title odds will change as teams win and lose games and as more players get hurt or suspended. Sportsbooks will also adjust PL odds based on handle and liability to certain teams.
Premier League futures odds will usually look like this:
Man City +175
This means that on a $100 bet, you'll stand to win $350 if Man City wins the Premier League. If it's close to the end of the competition, or a club has been particularly dominant, you might see them with a minus sign (-) ahead of their odds.
Arsenal -120
This means that you would need to bet $120 to win just $100 on an Arsenal championship.
