Although Premier League Season 2011-2012 starts on August 13th 2011, many major sportsbooks have already put up the betting odds for the first round. As every season, many surprises await us in the start, a great time to be looking for those high odds on the underdogs.
*This article was updated on July 25th 2011
Can’t wait until Premier League starts again? You are not alone, many of us anticipate the new season 2011-2012. In that regard, many major sportsbooks have decided to make us happy and release the odds for Round 1 of the new season.
What good are they, if the transfer window is just ahead of us and major changes will occur? Well if you want a bigger profit, you must be willing to take the risk. As August 13th 2011 closes up, the odds will change in various directions, according to the money flow. (See How do bookmakers calculate their odds). Therefore you have to opportunity right now, to see what the real odds look like based on probability.
Why is Round 1 important? Takes time for any team to get in a good shape, especially after a rest of two months. We had 4 draws and perhaps 2 surprises in the beginning of last season 2010-2011. Everton lost to Blackburn as a guest with 0:1 and the newcomer Blackpool struck down Wigan with 4:0 also as a guest.
So without wasting any more time, here’s what some of the sportsbooks I use and recommend offer:
