League Two Betting Tips: The Best Three Bets This Season By Jack Critchley

Ante-Post Football Betting Tips League Two Predictions for This Season | Football Tips: "Last year in League Two we said farewell to Aldershot and Barnet, despite the best efforts of an enigmatic Dutchman but what will bet the best bets for the new season?"

Bradford’s success brought a little more exposure to the division and the spotlight may continue to shine with many fans and pundits checking on the progress of Portsmouth.
I thought Keith Hill was unlucky to lose his job at Barnsley last season, he had a very limited budget and his ‘Man in a pub’ quality meant you were always privy to an honest assessment of the game. Now he’s back where he made his name – Rochdale.

After a succession of poor managerial appointments, Dale reappointed the 44 year old to the post and the turnaround soon followed. They surely must be a decent bet for a Top 7 Finish.

They remained unbeaten at home since late February and impressive victories away at Exeter and Fleetwood in April won over the fans and saw them climb the table.

Matt Done has re-joined from Hills former club whilst Olly Lancashire and Ashley Eastham will be asked to add some much needed steel to the defence. Add to this, a crop of promising youngsters such as Joe Bunney and Scott Tanser and the Lancashire side should quietly climb up the division.

York’s first season back in the Football League appeared to be coming to a premature end, but manager Nigel Worthington steered them clear of trouble and they look a decent bet for a Top Half Finish.

Worthington is an astute boss and he may have been a little rusty when making the transition from International management, but he should significantly improve their finishing position this time around.

Matty Blair may have headed across the Pennines, but Ryan Jarvis and Craig Clay are two signings who might not set the world alight, but certainly know this division.

Ryan Bowman, Wes Fletcher and the unknown quantity of Estonian winger Sander Puri have also arrived at Bootham Crescent and if midfielder Michael Coulson can chip in with a few goals from midfield they should be capable of pushing up the table.

Financial woe continues to haunt the South West clubs in League Two and finally Plymouth look to have a fresh start. They look a decent bet to emerge as Top South West Team.

Their neighbours Exeter haven’t been able to secure the services of key players such as Jamie Cureton and Matt Oakley due to financial restrictions, whilst the Pilgrims are hardly cash rich, they certainly have the kind of stability they have craved for a number of seasons.

Marvin Morgan can be impressive and frustrating in equal measure and fans will be hoping it is the former as the ex-Shrewsbury man can be unplayable on his day.

He should combine with the sprightly Ruben Reid, on loan from Yeovil and the former Morecambe man Lewis Allessandra to create a potentially potent forward line.

Manager John Sheridan used the loan market to good effect last season and will be likely to do the same once more. He’ll be hoping Crystal Palace lend him Jason Banton, who had an impressive spell in the West Country last season.

A decent crop of youngsters and an experienced manager will see Plymouth steer well clear of trouble and probably Exeter too.

Premier League Winner/Top Goalscorer Double Tips for This Season By Stan Mulgrew

Today's Football Betting Tips for the Premier League Winner Next Season: "As always, this is a very tough market to predict, as the Premier League year on year always throws us a surprise player, or two, who consistently bangs in the goals."

Last year they were Christian Benteke and Michu from Aston Villa and Swansea respectively. We know for sure that Robin Van Persie is guaranteed goals year on year, with the teammates he has and obviously his own incredible ability to put the ball in the net, so he is in obvious option in this market.

I believe that as usual Robin Van Persie will score 20+ this season and with the possibility of a new world class midfielder in behind him it could almost be too easy for him this year. But, although I think RVP will score bags of goals, I don’t think David Moyes will win the Premier league in his first season at the Red Devils. I think that Jose Mourinho will be the manager that wins the league this season, in his first back at Chelsea. So taking all this into account, I think at 12/1 of Robin Van Persie top Goalscorer and Chelsea to win the league are great odds.

This I believe would be a safe bet, so I’m going to throw in a long shot with high odds for good measure, but also a possibility that it could happen. Daniel Sturridge joined Liverpool in January and in only 14 appearances with Liverpool he scored 10 goals which is a brilliant start to his career with the Reds. He has shown with Bolton, Chelsea and more recently Liverpool that he can scores goals in the Premier League. Don’t worry I’m not stupid enough to think Liverpool can actually win the Premier League, but I do think Daniel Sturridge will be up there for the Golden Boot come the end of the 2013/2014 season.

So like in the first bet I think Chelsea will win the Premier League and doubling that up with Daniel Sturridge to be the Top Goalscorer, we can get massive odds of 66/1. Obviously if you disagree with me on the Premier League champions you can change that and still get similar odds with the same player.

Premier League Relegation Betting Tips and Predictions for Next Season By Lee Dooley

Premier League Relegation Betting Tips and Predictions for Next Season: "It's time to look at the relegation battle again this week and it's a market that shows real value, Premier League relegation treble betting."

For obvious reasons the three newly promoted teams, Hull City, Cardiff City and Crystal Palace, top the betting odds at 11/1, but for me this isn't the bet to take on. If you refer to my previous post here you can read my thoughts on survival for the newly promoted trio.

That post see's Hull City as my tip to go down, which leaves just two more relegation threatened teams to put into the treble. The team with the most to worry about for the the 2013-14 season is Stoke City.

Mark Hughes has been drafted in to steady the ship and has already started by clearing a boatload of squad members, including Rory Delap, Carlo Nash, Jermaine Pennant, Matthew Upson and Dean Whitehead.

By releasing these fringe players he has no doubt freed up a lot of the wage budget. But transforming a whole squad in a few months isn't something Mark Hughes does well. Just ask QPR fans.

There's no doubt Hughes will aim to improve the Stoke City strike force, but remodeling will have to have an instant impact, as fans already seem to be unhappy with the appointment of Hughes, and that unhappiness could soon turn hostile should the result go against the Potters.

Stoke City go down for me and go down easy. They are my tip to finish rock bottom come May and that's 12/1.

Aston Villa now, and they will almost certainly have another tough season ahead of them. But the biggest worry for me is who they can keep hold of in the transfer window. It's clear now that Benteke will almost certainly leave Villa Park before the start of the 2013-14 season, and without his goals Villa will struggle. Of course, it all depends on who they can replace Benteke with, and for me The Villans will find it difficult to entice someone to Villa Park with the calibre to produce 23+ goals.

Looking at Aston Villa's pre-season signings and I'm struggling to find a reason why they're priced so high to be relegated. 8/1 for the drop is interesting enough to take on alone.

So, my treble for relegation includes, new boys Hull City and established Premier League sides Aston Villa and Stoke City and that is priced at an inviting 80/1.

Hull City, Aston Villa and Stoke City to be relegated - 80/1
