The English Premier League is one of the most gambled on sports when it comes to pure turnover – but then, with more than fifty first class games every week, you know why. While match betting is the most popular, spread betting is growing and one of the most popular spread bets is on the season ending results.

Chelsea currently lead the competition with 58 points. Spread betting is offering odds on Chelsea achieving 83 or 84 points – in fact, the “spread” is 83-84.5. The magic number then is 26 points at this stage of the season. If you do a comparison, you can often find good bets.

Manchester City are quoted with a spread of 67.5-69. The magic number today is 24 points. Now if you feel City are improving as the season comes to a close then buying City at 69 could be a bargain.

At the other end of the table, Hull have a spread of 34-35.5. They are currently on 24 points so they need to win at least four games to reach 36 points. Are you willing to gamble on Hull achieving that? I have my doubts.

Spread betting is popular; you can win big but you can also lose big. I think City can do better than the 69 so I will buy. Remember, with spread betting, I win even money in my stake for every point over 69. If they finish the season on 72, I will win 3 times my stake. They are good odds and worth a bet.

Spread betting is not so much a lot of fun as an investment over time. It can be nerve wracking as you watch each loss and draw. Spread betting – check out UK Betting Central for some of the best spread betting sites available.
