At the start of this book the authors say straight away that this book is aimed at the casual punter who enjoys a weekly bet on Premier League football. However, the book is trying to help bring the success of a full-time punter to the casual punter without them having to do all the hard work. If you think that sounds perfect, this book is for you!
The first couple of chapters act as an introduction to football betting and methods used in the book including calculating your own odds and odds comparisons. The book then goes on in some detail about the different types of football betting recommended throughout the book. It is a more specific version of the Football Betting Guide on this site, with explanations of what situations each betting market is suited to. Included are:
Draw No bet
Double Chance
Half-time/Full-time
Over/Under 2.5 goals
Correct Score
First/Last/Anytime Goalscorers
Corners
Bookings
Handicaps
After this solid grounding on what the Premier Football Betting Handbook is about, the good stuff arrives thick and fast.
The authors have graded each team with letters from A-D depending on ability.
Examples being ? Chelsea -Grade A, Everton ? Grade B, Blackburn Rovers ? Grade C, Wigan Athletic ? Grade D.
Then there is page upon page of statistics for each team based on the 2009/10 Premier League season including:
Home/Away League Tables
Home/Away goals
Player goals
Time of goals scored
Half-time/Full-time
Injury time goals
Corners Home/Away
Corner Superiority
Bookings Home/Away
Performances against different grade of opponents
The authors then summarise the key points from the statistics for every single team for example:
* 18 of Stoke?s matches last season were 0-0 at half-time, more than any other team.
* In the 13 matches Sunderland were losing at half-time, they didn?t win any.
These key points are the basis of the betting tips in the book.
