The Premier League
The Premier League is the top division of the English football league system, with all the country's biggest clubs and many of the world's best players battling it out for the title. Outside of the UK it is commonly referred to as the English Premier League (or just EPL for short).
With a global following numbering in the hundreds of millions, it's one of the biggest sporting competitions happening anywhere in the world. Hence one of the biggest for betting on, ranging from simple home or away wins to the number of yellow cards or corners per game.
Indeed, it's estimated that more than 650 million homes in 200 countries regularly tune into the action, making it the most-watched national football league on the planet. Plus, the average Premier league match attendance is now around 35,000, making it the second-most popular league in the world among paying spectators behind the German Bundesliga.

History of the Premier League
The Premier League was founded in February 1992, growing out of the old English First Division. With the first season 1992/93, it ushered in a new era of English football, bringing significantly more attention, glamour and money to the sport.
Since it began, more than 40 teams have competed in the Premier League and five clubs have won it, namely Manchester United (who won the first Premier League title) as well as Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City and Blackburn Rovers. Manchester United hold the record for the most Premier League titles, a record that will not be broken any time soon.
Current Format
The current format of the Premier League is almost exactly the same as it was back in the first season. Here's the main points you need to know:
- The Premier League is made up of 20 teams. Over the course of a season, they each play one another twice, once at their home stadium and once at the stadium of their opponents.
- All matches are played over 90 minutes. There is never any extra time or penalty shoot-outs and matches can end as draws.
- Teams receive three points for a win and one point for a draw. No points are awarded for of loss, and no extra bonus points are awarded for scoring a high number of goals.
- The teams are then ranked according to how many points they have. If teams are tied on points, then they are then ranked by goal difference that is by how many goals they have scored compared to the number they have conceded.
- Quite simply, at the end of the season, the team who are top of the table are crowned the Champions.
- The bottom three ranked teams at the end of the season are relegated to the Football League Championship. They will be replaced the following season by three teams promoted from the division below.
- All of the top four teams at the end of each Premier League season qualify for the lucrative UEFA Champions League competition. The top three automatically qualify for the group stages, while the fourth-placed side need to go through a qualifying round.
- The fifth-placed team at the end of each Premier League season qualifies for the UEFA Europa League competition for the following season. The teams ranked sixth and seventh may also qualify for this competition depending on who wins the two domestic cup competitions in England.
Betting on the Premier League is exciting as there are no easy wins and over the course of a season anything can happen, you can bet on the all outcomes described above.
Who to bet on in 2014/15 for the title
The 2014/15 season should be one of the most exciting in Premier League history, thanks to the fact a handful of teams have a realistic chance of winning the title. If you have courage and conviction in who will win it then placing a bet after the opening few games can offer good odds this early in the season.
Manchester United, who hold the record for the most titles, can never be written off, even after a freakishly bad season in 2013/14. Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City also have the players and resources to fight for the title, while Liverpool have shown signs of getting back to winning ways after almost two decades in the shadows of their rivals.
Who to bet on for regulation in 2014/15
At the other end of the table, it's worth remembering that many newly-promoted teams struggle to avoid relegation in their first season in the Premier League, making a bet on one or more of them an option. In all but two seasons since the league began, at least one newcomer has been sent straight back down and, on some occasions, all three newly-promoted teams have been relegated the first time round.
A simple bet is to wait and see who is bottom at Christmas in the Premier league, about 90% of the time the team has then been relegated the same season.
Betting on the Premier League
Betting on the Premier League is a major business and a great way of not only making games more exciting but of making a bit of extra money, especially if you know what you're betting on. As well as the Outright Winner of the league, you can also vote on who you think will be the top scorer, which teams you think will get relegated or qualify for the Champions League, or who will be the first manager to be sacked. In fact, if you can think of something to bet on, most bookmakers will be happy to offer you odds on it happening.
One great way of making games more exciting and of boosting your chances of beating the bookies is to bet in-play and all online bookmakers will let you do this. Here you are able to 'cash out' on a bet at almost any time.
So, if you have bet £10 on Manchester United beating Arsenal at 2/1 and your team are 1-0 up after 80 minutes, you could be offered the chance to 'cash out' at £19. If you accept you have still made a profit and don't have to risk losing it all. If you decline, however, you could stand to win the full £30 or you could lose it all.
