Covers EPL winner pick: Chelsea (+1000)
At +1000, Chelsea is the first outright that jumped off the board. Manchester City, Liverpool and Manchester United are all navigating managerial changes, while Arsenal faces a completely different challenge after finally ending its title drought. It's one thing to hunt down the league leaders, it's another to be the team everyone is chasing. Chelsea is also starting a new chapter under Xabi Alonso, but I view that as a positive. He transformed Bayer Leverkusen into Bundesliga champions by instilling a clear identity and winning mentality. With Cole Palmer, Estevao, Moises Caicedo forming one of the league's most talented cores, Chelsea has everything it needs to contend for the title. At 10/1, the upside is simply too good to pass up.
About the Premier League
The biggest and the best, the English Premier League (EPL) is the most-watched sports league in the world. English soccer fans are always boasting about the EPL because it has the likes of Mo Salah and Harry Kane on the pitch, and Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp pulling the strings from the sidelines. ‘There are no easy games in the Premier League’ is the old cliché, but it does mean that there’s always value to be sniffed out among EPL betting odds.
Premier League betting odds
When it comes to betting lines in the Premier League, there are a few major markets that resonate within English soccer. EPL odds reflect the unpredictability of the league and although fans love to nibble at the Over/Under totals, most head straight to moneyline markets as their first port of call.
Premier League moneyline
The single most popular bet when it comes to Premier League betting lines. It differs from traditional American sports in that it is a three-way market. You can back a win for Team A, a win for Team B, or back the draw (an option that can offer great value). The moneyline is your starting point when it comes to Premier League odds.
Premier League Over/Under
Within Premier League betting lines the Over/Under for an English soccer game is traditionally set at 2.5 goals. It works as a good gauge for the market, but EPL fans can choose their own Over/Under total. Whisper it quietly, but you can even back Under 0.5 goals and pray for the 0-0.
Premier League opening lines
If you want to get an idea of what other English soccer supporters are thinking, you can always compare Premier League betting lines to that of the opening lines. These are the first set of odds released by bookmakers and can be found on the left side of the odds comparison tool.
