Premiership Football Betting tips and FREE betting offers

At the front of every newspaper at the beginning of this week was the name ‘Lehman’, unfortunately it was the sad news of the many job losses at the Global Investment Bank and nothing to do with crazy ex-Arsenal goal keeper Jens Lehman(n). 

With a major recession looming , it’s re-assuring to know that the Premiership clubs like Manchester United have taken heed and have only splashed out £30 million pounds on one player.  Now that’s what PremiershipBettingBanter.com calls a sensible approach to this unstable economic climate!!!

Sunderland v Middlesbrough- Middlesbrough will be missing a vital player in Tuncay through injury, this will be a big loss as he’s been one of the reasons why ‘Boro have made a good start to the season.  Roy Keane looks to have pretty much a full squad of players to pick from.  Last years’ fixture produced a scoreline of 3-2 to Sunderland. 

Premiership Betting tip-  Both home and away fixtures produced 9 goals in total, let’s bet against the odds and back the over 2.5 goals, odds of 2.12 goals can be found on Betfair.

UPDATE: Another losing bet, if only Downing had scored that penalty then I’m sure that would of set this match up for over 2.5 goals.  One more and we would of made some nice profit at odd of 2.12.  Don’t worry, keep the faith, I have a feeling a good run is on it’s way, lets hope it comes quicker then a Tottenham win!!

There’s alot of speculation that Roy Keane will allow striker Anthony Stokes to go out on loan. There’s no doubt that ex-United captain Keane is able to give words of wisdom that will inspire any player, but the following quote looks to be a back handed compliment to Stokes:

…….Keane said on Sunday: “Anthony would benefit from going out and getting 20 games. He’s good enough to go and play in the Championship.”‘

After the international friendlies mid-week it’s back to the Premiership. Portsmouth vs. Man Utd looks to be an interesting match, United are under strength in their second game so another draw may be on the cards. Arsenal take on Fulham, surely another 3 points for the Gunners and another step closer for us to winning our ‘Top at the end of month- August’ bet?  If only betting was  that easy!!

Betting tip-  Liverpool v Middlesbrough, Torres has picked up where left off last season and has already opened his goal scoring account.  Back him to score at anytime (odds of 2.04 on Betfair) and to be first goal scorer (odds of 4.6).  Hopefully Benitez won’t be in his rotating moods and he’ll let the Spanish hitman start the game.

Tottenham v Sunderland- It’s always interesting to see an ex player come up against his old club,  Steed Malbranque was one of the better Tottenham players last year, and he’ll line up against them for Sunderland.  As a fun bet, back him to score at anytime tomorrow, odds of 6.50 on William Hill. Chimbonda will be another player to look out for.

UPDATE:  Not a very good start the season at all for us on the betting front, I’m feeling a bit like Paul Jewell’s Derby who haven’t won in the league since September 2007, hopefully we won’t need to wait that long for a winner!!  Malbranque nearly scored against his old club and the fun bet nearly came off, only the cross bar got in the way.  Torres couldn’t win our main bet of the day either, making it a miserable a weekend of betting.
