World Cup Betting – bet on the 2010 World Cup

July 28, 2008

WORLD CUP BETTING – BET ON THE 2010 WORLD CUP For betting purposes, it seems safe to rule out Africa, Asia and Oceania as suppliers of the 2010 World Cup winners, along with hosts South Africa. This leaves South America and Europe upon which to concentrate. Four teams from ten qualify from the CONMEBOL (South America), with the fifth-placed side involved in a playoff with a CONCACAF (Caribbean, Central and North American Confederation) nation. The nine European group winners qualify automatically, with the best eight runners-up involved in two-legged playoffs to determine the other four qualifiers, i.e. 13 in all. [...]

Coca-Cola League Two Preview 2008/09

July 13, 2008

FOOTBALL – LEAGUE TWO 2008-09 SEASON PREVIEW League Two looks to be the most open division of all, with bookmakers going 9/1 the field and nine teams at 12/1 or less to win the title. A new-look Darlington, at 10/1, heads the shortlist, with last season’s 5th placed Rochdale a close second at 12/1 and Wycombe not that far behind, at the same price. The title shortlist is completed by relegated Port Vale, at 14/1 and Lincoln at a speculative 25/1. The battle for promotion places looks equally competitive, with seven teams priced at 3/1 or less to be playing [...]

Coca-Cola League One Preview 2008/09

July 11, 2008

FOOTBALL – LEAGUE ONE 2008-09 SEASON PREVIEW Coca-Cola League One seems another fairly open contest, though there is one outstanding side in the race for the title. Leeds United, having started the 2007-08 season on -15 points by virtue of being in administration. However, Leeds won 27 of their 46 games, with 10 draws and only 9 losses, finishing 5th. Starting on equal terms, they will be considered certainties by many and SkyBet’s 7/2 to win the League and Evens about promotion both look tempting. However, a word of warning – your correspondent has been a fan for close to [...]

Coca-Cola Championship Preview 2008/09

July 9, 2008

FOOTBALL – CHAMPIONSHIP 2008-09 SEASON PREVIEW Whereas the Premiership can be whittled down to a small number of serious contenders (at least at the top end) the Championship is a different story entirely. The 2008-09 Championship looks, on paper at least, to be one of the most competitive ever. A great level of expectation surrounds clubs such as Queens Park Rangers and beaten play-off semi-finalists Crystal Palace. The favourites, QPR, are still something of an unknown quantity. They have plenty of financial clout, but from a punting perspective, Iain Dowie’s presence is offputting. Relegated Birmingham and Reading have the quality [...]
