Take on our Season Points Totals

Did you know that we recently posted season points totals for the 2013/14 English Premier League? It seems that bettors don’t always know they are up and the market can sit, unloved, until the season starts. This is a bit of a shame as we see posting Season Points so early in the summer as a real challenge and one that we would love more bettors to take on. Read on to find out why.

If you aren’t familiar with this market, the numbers show how many points we expect each team to end up with at the end of the season, so it’s effectively a projected league table. If you think one team is likely to earn more points than we have posted, bet the Over. If you think a team will do worse over the course of the campaign than we have posted, bet the Under. It really is that simple, so check out the latest season point totals here.

We will also offer markets on two-team match-ups for who will finish higher in the coming weeks, so keep your eyes peeled.

This article will hopefully serve as a little self-promotion, highlighting that the EPL Season Points Totals are there and that we obviously want you to bet them. There’s no point in putting in the work to create the numbers if nobody knows they are there, right?

Reason to bet EPL season totals

There are compelling reasons why you might want to bet EPL Season Totals:

1) They open at 4% margins and a $250 limit. The more attention they get, the higher the limits go and the lower the margins get. If there is enough fan interest, limits could eventually reach $10,000 per bet, at 2% margins – which is razor sharp.

2) The numbers were posted on June 24th, well before the transfer markets really kick into gear. This means there is huge value to be had simply by following the transfer sagas, and making bets based on whether or not a team get better or worse. For example any bettors that played the over on Manchester United last season anticipating Robin Van Persie’s transfer will have been sitting pretty. In this regard, finding reliable sources of transfer news on Twitter can prove particularly valuable.

3) The numbers are what we would call ‘soft’ because the uncertainty that the transfer equations create. Perhaps even more important than players moving from place to place is the manager merry-go-round – for example how will Jose Mourinho, David Moyes, and Roberto Martinez change their new clubs? How long will these plans take to come to fruition?

4) Do you follow one of the promoted teams – Hull, Crystal Palace or Cardiff (who are particularly interesting as they make their debut in the EPL)? Then you may know more about how they will perform in the Premier League than the rest of the world, and there is probably value in betting their projected number.

5) This is the most important one – this market is one of the most challenging for a soccer trader. We pride ourselves on being the sharpest oddsmakers around, so it is regarded as something of a challenge to our skills.

If you are prepared to take on that challenge, now is the right time to bet EPL Season Points Totals, with so many of the summer transfer sagas yet to unfold, and clear pictures of the game plans of new managers yet to emerge.

So we challenge you to bet our season points totals… see if you can get one over on the best EPL traders around.
