Atromitos vs Aris betting tips 2 August Greek Super League By Isaiah

Atromitos vs Aris betting tips 2 August Greek Super League: "Atromitos is in very good mood recently although they were disqualified from Europa League against AZ Alkmaar. To the Greek Super League they started with a home draw against Ergotelis (2:2) in a game where they faced some defensive weaknesses, but to the next game away to Olympiakos they played quite good although they lost 2:1. With a little bit more luck they could go away with the draw."

To the Europa League qualifiers they were eliminated from AZ Alkmaar, although they totally conquered the second game in Holland and won 0:2, losing big chances for the third goal. Surely a very unfair disqualification for Atromitos as they were really better than AZ Alkmaar, lost a penalty and had two shots to the bar. Anyway, despite the fatigue from AZ Alkmaar game, the climate to their club is very good at the moment. They spent a lot during summer to strengthen their roster, and this should be visible to the field very soon. Goalkeeper Sifakis and midfielder Ballas are out of the squad today, but key midfielder Iglesias is back to the team.Aris started the season with two defeats against both newcomers of the league. They lost at home against Kalloni 0:2, and they are the only team without a point to the league till now. They did not left a good impression till now and seems that they will have a very difficult season as they are in deep problems this year with their administration trying to find resources to pay players etc.

As it is well known, Aris have several problems this season, they got a transfers embargo due to debts, and they could sign only free players under 24 years old. Generally the roster quality felt so much during the last two years, and now they have lot of unknown young players who could compete in lower divisions in normal conditions. Key defender Pulido and key striker Aganzo are both out of the squad.

Everything indicates that Atromitos is ready for the first victory of the season, and in my opinion this will be an easy match for them.

Bet: Atromitos -1 Asian Handicap

Estoril vs Academica betting tips 2 September 2013 Portuguese Liga By Neuro

Estoril vs Academica betting tips 2 September 2013 Portuguese Liga: "Estoril is coming from a midweek game in Europa League play-off round as they were hosted by the Austrian Superfund Pasching for a rematch. Portuguese side scored an early goal they wanted, in 21st minute and the match turned to formality as the first leg was won by 2:0, finally winning the second one too with a 2:1 result."

With this victory, Estoril continued great start into the new season, as the team got qualification for the group stage of Europa League being unbeaten in four qualifying matches, having three victories and a draw. Start in the domestic league is also great for them, having two victories out of two rounds played. Returning to championship duties, team will try to get the third consecutive victory, proving that the right course in previous season wasn’t a coincidence. Coach Marcelo Silva expects tight match against Academica, team that might have a bad start, but is nowhere close to an easy opponent. Left midfielders Babanco and striker Gerso finally overcome their injuries and will be included into roster, while captain and defensive midfielder Joao Coimbra and left back Tiago Gomes are injured from the start of the season and still unavailable.Academica hosted Sporing Lisbon in the last round’s match previous weekend. Guests entered the game much stronger and took the 2:0 lead already in the first halftime, adding two more goals in the second half too, for more than fair and deserved victory over their hosts.

With this defeat, Academica made a poor start into the season having two consecutive defeats, being unable to score even once, while they conceded six goals into those two games. Poor start in the season has already caused concerns in the team, with coach Sergio Conceicao delaying the next training so he could speak with the players regarding their previous performance. The coach has asked for improvement, although accepting he understands the things won’t get easier against in-form Estoril. Experienced central defender Hallilche (2/0) will be absent for next month and a half, causing problems for the visitors’ back line. Goalkeeper Fabio Santos and midfielders Makelele and Fernando Alexandre remain sidelined from the start of the season.

Estoril have won their last seven home matches in Liga Sagres.

Estoril have scored at least two goals in their last eight home matches in Liga Sagres.

Academica have lost seven of their last eight away matches in Liga Sagres

Estoril might be a bit more tired cause of their Europa League duties, but have started the season in a much better way than their opponent did. They have way better atmosphere, playing in front of their own fans and being more quality side should take the victory tonight easy or hard.

Bet: Estoril Wins

Football Betting Tips Ante-Post Premier League Tips and Season Predictions By Stan Mulgrew

Football Betting Tips Ante-Post Premier League Tips and Season Predictions: "The new Premeir Leeague season starts this Saturday and now is the final chance we have to take the best value from the ante-post betting markets and put together our best three football tips for this season."

The releasing of the fixtures is the first sniff of the new Premier League season we get and this year the opening day looks to be a great one.Aston Villa have held onto their main asset and goal thrat Chritopher Benkete and they should improve on last seasons poor display after completing the signings of numerous good players such as the 6 foot 5 giant from Denmark, Nicklas Helenius and 22 year old Spanish left back Antonio Luna. Although it was a disappointing time for them last season they ended it on great form with their front three of Andreas Weimann, Gabby Agbonlahor and best of all Christian Benteke and if they can replicate what they did at the end of the 2012/2013 season I firmly believe they have what it takes to sneak into a top 10 place.

Holding onto their key players such as Christian Benteke has been vital so the 2/1 for them finish in the top 10 is great value for our first ante-post Premier League tip.

Following on from this I will look towards the newcomers to the Premier League for my next bet and this is withHull City priced at 5/2 to be the Top Newcomer to the Premier League. Now I do not expect Hull to set the top flight alight, I just expect them to do marginally better than Crystal Palace and Cardiff City. The reason for this is that they have a manager who has bags of top flight experience in Steve Bruce and have brought in players which also have this experience. To name a few, they have already completed the signings of Curtis Davies who has had previous seasons in the Premier League with Aston Villa and Birmingham City and they have also brought in Maynor Figueroa who was one of Wigan’s stand out players last season and can play either alongside Curtis Davies at Centre back or as a left back.

I think Hull will stay up by the skin of their teeth, but nevertheless I think that Cardiff and Crystal Palace will prop up the rest so 5/2 is great value for Hull to finish above the both of them.

For my final betting tip I look towards the North East to Sunderland. The odds on Sunderland finishing above Newcastle is 7/4 which I think is a great price putting into consideration the shocking condition that Newcastle are in. The appointment of Joe Kinnear as director of football has caused uproar not only because of his pronunciation of their best players but because he is in charge of transfers! Now let’s take a look back to the last time he was in charge at Newcastle. He left the club in such a state for when Alan Shearer took temporary charge it ended up in Newcastle being relegated. Whereas there North East counterparts Sunderland look to be in a much better state at the moment, with passionate (to say the least) Italian in charge, Paulo Di Canio I think they will finish above Newcastle by at least 8 points after securing the services of former Lazio centre back Modibo Diakite on a free transfer I think with him at the heart of the defence they can push on and build on what Di Canio has already done at the club.

To conclude I think that it is clear to see which clubs are in the best shape for the upcoming season, but as we all know with the Premier League. Expect the unexpected.

Best Three Premier League Betting Tips 2013/14

Aston Villa top ten finish – 2/1

Hull best newcomer – 5/2

Sunderland to finish above Newcastle – 7/4

Premier League Relegation Betting Tips, Latest Betting Odds to be Relegated By Lee Dooley

Premier League Relegation Betting Tips, Latest Betting Odds to be Relegated: "The new Premier League season is almost here and the three newly promoted clubs will be battling to stay in the league, but of the three who are the most likely to survive relegation?"

Last season saw Cardiff City, Crystal Palace and Hull City all gain promotion to the greatest league in club football. However, if the bookmakers are to be believed, they all face an up hill struggle to beat the drop this year.Cardiff City are understandably favorites of the three newly promoted teams to stay up at 3/5, having romped to The Championship title in 2012/13.

But, looking at the first two months of fixtures I'm struggling to see where the points will come from and should that be the case, they could find themselves in real trouble early on and that might seriously damage their hopes for the remainder of the season.

That aside, the Blue Birds only need to look at the success of their arch rivals Swansea City to see exactly how to conquer in the Premier League. Smart summer sales is an absolute must, yet for me the major factor in their survival is whether they can turn the City Stadium into a fortress.

And what of Hull City? A team that really fails to excite me or anybody else is seems.

Having scraped into the final automatic spot last season Hull should count themselves lucky to even be in the Premier League this season.

With Steve Bruce back in the top flight, you can almost put your mortgage on the 'Hull City Tigers' playing even more defensive than they did last year. Add to that the fact Hull only managed 61 goals in 48 league matches last season (fewer than any other team in the top half) and I'm sure you'll agree Hull City are facing mission impossible to not get relegated from the Premier League, unless they invest in a prolific goal scorer before the end of the transfer window, and that for me is the key to survival.

Crystal Palace now, and I for see great things this season for the Eagles. For me Palace are over priced at 13/8 to stay up and something I'll be taking on myself, and here's why...

Ian Holloway will undoubtedly relish the tag of being under dogs this season and will be confident he and his team have the credentials to prove everyone wrong and lead Palace to unexpected survival.

Wilfred Zaha is obviously a huge loss for Holloway but fellow winger Yannick Bolasie can take up the mantle vacated by Zaha and become the chief creative threat.

Glenn Murray is always a threat in front of goal, yet Palace must do without him for the start of the new campaign, so bolstering in attack should be priority number 1 for Holloway if they are to defy their relegation betting odds.

At the back, Palace have shown real force which saw them keep a clean sheet for 300 minutes of play-off football. And that very same defence saw them only lose 2 games at Selhurst Park all season.

In summary. All three teams will find it difficult to beat the drop this season, but statistically, only 1 newly promoted team see's immediate relegation.

For me that statistic falls on Hull City and will see Cardiff and Palace safe.

Premier League Relegation Bet Tips

Crystal Palace to stay up - 13/8

Hull City to be relegated - 7/10

PFA Player of the Year Betting Tips Predictions Latest Odds and Free Tips By Alex Peace

PFA Player of the Year Betting Tips Predictions Latest Odds and Free Tips: "With the Premier League start upon us now is a great time to take an early look at the PFA Player of the Year betting market and pick out an ante-post bet ahead of the new season."

Eden Hazard (14/1)

It is very often the flair players that pick up this award. They catch the eye, get assists and goals and very often as a consequence pick up these awards. One player who did this last season was Eden Hazard. Still at the age of 22, he had a solid first season scoring some sensational goals but often flitting out of games.

Coming in to his second season in the Premier League, Hazard could have a great chance at the award. If he uses his experience of last season and grows, he could have a fantastic campaign. His cause for the award could be helped further with Chelsea expecting to push for the league title and this will mean increased attention. Hazard could be in with a really good shot at the award.

David Silva (28/1)

The final potential candidate for the award is David Silva, once more, a flair player with bags of creativity who could catch the eye. The Spaniard struggled at times under Mancini last season but with a new man in, Silva should be rejuvenated and hoping to impress alongside fellow Spaniard Jesus Navas they could form a thrilling supply-line to City's extensive forward options.

With City looking to push for the title again, Silva could be instrumental in this. He is the man very often pulling the strings for City and if he can recreate the form of their title winning season, he could be in with a shout.

With Jesus Navas arriving to play on the wing, Silva could be pushed more central and thus have a more influential role. Silva is a bit of an outsider for this but for an attacking player with so much talent to be 20/1 for the award is a little bit scandalous.

Next Premier League Manager to Leave Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions By That's a Goal

Next Premier League Manager to Leave Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions: "Alan Pardew is the favourite in the 'Next Premier League manager to leave' betting but the value could lie elsewhere as we get ready to kick off the new Premier League season."

After the bizarre appointment of Joe Kineear at Newcastle as the Director of Football Alan Pardew’s odds to be the next Premier League manager to leave were slashed and he is now a steady 3/1 favourite.Newcastle struggled throughout last season and a large promotion of Magpies’ fans were calling for his head before the end of the campaign and no notable signings as yet, coupled with the backroom turmoil could well signal an early departure for Pardew.

Swansea’s Michael Laudrup was second in the betting but for a very different reason, he is one of the most sought after young managers around and despite saying he wouldn’t be tempted to move to a bigger club, the lure could just be too much if the opportunity comes available. His odds have moved out to 10/1 after being as short as 3/1 over the summer.

Sunderland’s Paulo Di Canio comes next at 12/1 (Coral) despite saving the club from relegation last season but that drive and determination could well have worn off and a poor start could signal the end for the enigmatic Italian. Sunderland are known for axing managers early and the same could be true again.

Martin Jol is another manager that will need a strong start after Fulham failed to set the world alight last season, he is currently priced at 8/1. Fulham still have Dimitar Berbatov who is a ready made goalscorer but the supply to him is sometimes limited so Jol has his hands full to improve the squad.

Elsewhere in the betting Chris Hughton is an interested punt at 16/1. Norwich have spent big so far this summer and the board will want to see an immediate return with a strong start, otherwise Hughton’s days could be numbered and the same applies to Southampton boss Mauro Pochettino who is a 28/1 shot. One thing going for him is his strong relationship with the Saints board.

Next Manager to Leave Betting Tip:

Chris Houghton - 14/1

Asian handicap - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Asian handicap - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "Asian Handicap betting is a form of betting on football in which teams are handicapped according to their form, so that a stronger team must win by more goals for a punter betting on them to win. The system originated in Indonesia and has gained popularity in the early 21st century. Handicaps typically range from one-quarter goal to several goals, in increments of half- or even quarter-goals."

Subsequently, many matches are handicapped in ½ and ¼ intervals; both of which eliminate the possibility of a push since no one can score a half-goal. Quarter (¼) handicaps split the bet between the two next closest ¼ intervals. For instance, a $1000 bet with a handicap of 1¾ is the same as betting $500 at 1½ and $500 at 2. With ¼ handicap bets, you can win and tie (win ½ of wager) or lose and tie (lose ½ wager). The ¼-goal handicap may be expressed by some bookmakers as "0 and ½", or (especially for bookmakers whose systems are designed for sports like American football and basketball (where bets have a handicap that is designed to make the odds as close to even as possible)) as "pk (for "pick-em") and ½".

Match: Everton vs. Newcastle United

Handicap: Newcastle +1.0, +1.5

Explained: This handicap states that half of your bet goes on Newcastle to win, draw, or lose by less than 1 goal; and half on Newcastle to win, draw, or lose by less than 1.5 goals.

If the final score is Everton 1-0 Newcastle, half your bet would be refunded due to draw (Everton 1 - +1 Newcastle, i.e: Newcastle lost by exactly one goal). The second half would win (Everton 1 - +1.5 Newcastle, i.e: Newcastle lost by less than 1.5 goals).

In the event that a whole number is used for the handicap, the handicap adjusted final score could result in a draw. This situation is not a draw, but a push. With a push, all bettors have their original wagers returned as there is no winner.
