Premier League Points Spread Betting Guide with Extrabet

Premier League Spread Betting

With most of the Premier League action getting frozen out this weekend, it means that we head to the Christmas week with little action going on. Therefore, it makes a great time to sit back and ponder some football Spread Betting. Spread Betting is a higher risk form of betting, because you can lose more than you stake. The basics of Spread Betting, is that you are given a quote, say on how many points a rugby team would score in a match. You decide whether you want to Sell that quote, if you think that the team will score less than the quote, or Buy if you think that the team will score more than the quote. The more correct you are, meaning that if you have Bought the quote, the more points over the quote the team accumulates the bigger your profit margin. If you have Sold, then the more the team are under the quote, the more you win. The risk comes in getting the wrong outcome. If you have Bought and the points total ends up under the quote, then you are losing money, and vice versa. Still, it is such a popular method of betting that it may be worth getting to grips with. Here we take a look at the Premier League Points Spread Betting at Extrabet, and how you can turn their quotes into profit. The good thing about this market as opposed to picking an outright winner in your fixed odds betting, is that you can take any team in the league, and not worry about where they will finish in the league standings. You just need to make an informed and educated guess as to how many points a particular team could accumulate over the season. The amount of profit or loss will be down to the amount of unit stake that you place, as explained in more detail below.

Man Utd Spread Betting Quote: 79.25 – 80.75

Current Points: 34 from 16 played
Last Season Points Total: 85

Well, Manchester United are in the driving seat at the moment, still unbeaten in the Premier League this season. If they keep up the current kind of form, they would be expected to hit around 68 points from 32 matches, leaving six more to pick up points to head towards eighty. That is another 18 points available, added to the 68 projected points takes them in to the eighty. The things is with Spread Betting, if you think that the quote is pretty much accurate, then leave it well alone. This has to be good advice when looking at the quote on Manchester United. The math adds up to being about right, and the profit/deficit margins really aren’t worth dabbling with.

Chelsea Spread Betting Quote: 76-77.5

Current Points: 31 from 17 played
Last Season Points Total: 86

Their big match against Manchester United was postponed for Sunday, leaving things a little bit up in the air. That was actually a big three points which could have gone either way. With Manchester United running as favourites to win the Premier League now, simply down to the demise of Chelsea’s form, Spread Betting on the Blues makes for an interesting proposition. Will they be able to recover their form, and how long will it take them to do so? At the time of writing, Chelsea have picked up just nine points from an available 24 over the last eight matches. Eight matches is a huge portion of the season gone with points going begging for Carlo Ancelotti and his men, how soon can they redress the balance? What if they can’t pull themselves out of the slump for another four of five matches? That’s a lot of points still going begging. Buying Chelsea over 77.5 seems like a bit of a stretch to pick up profit. Double what they have now, and that’s 61 points from 34, leaving just four games to try and get over that 77.5 quote. However, if Chelsea rediscover their blistering form from early season and go on a hot streak of wins, then they could easily make it. This one will be all about form, and more unpredictable than Man Utd’s points tally.

Arsenal Spread Betting Quote: 75.5-77

Current Points: 32 from 17 played
Last Season Points Total: 75

The Gunners are still not deemed as being good enough to win the league, even though they should be strong challengers. Could well finish under the quote with a projection of 64 points from 34 matches. Still though, this one looks to be pretty much in the ball park of the quote. Can they top the 77 points to bring profit? Potentially of course, there are still twenty one matches to go, which means 63 points available, but unlikely to go too much beyond that to make this worthwhile.

Man City Spread Betting Quote: 70.75-72.25

Current Points: 32 from 17 played
Last Season Points Total: 67

On par with Arsenal, but can you pick out the better team? In a two horse race between the two sides, you would realistically go with Arsenal. So, therefore, that is why the unproven Manchester City are a considerable five points back in the quote to Arsenal, but they represent good value. If you believe that they could keep pace with Arsenal, and who is to say that they won’t go and spend big in the January transfer window to boost their chances, they would be able to accumulate points above the quote. It will be a big effort from them, as it would put them firmly in the hunt for the title. Seventy points has to be a realistic target for them to surpass, so there could well be some decent value in Buying Man City’s quote at over 72.25 points. They are improving, but could, by the same yardstick, blow it unless they sort out the Tevez problems. It is the unpredictability over Man City, just like Chelsea, which makes them potentially more profitable in your Spread Betting.

Liverpool Spread Betting Quote: 57.25-58.75

Current Points: 22 from 17 played
Last Season Points Total: 63

All sorts of problems at Anfield this season. Well, actually the problems have been away from Anfield, where Liverpool have found it incredibly hard to win this year. They have a decent enough home record though to suggest that they would finish somewhere between 50 and 60 points. However, there are serious questions about them, and they are just as likely to go on a hot streak as they are to go on a horrible skid. Doubling their figures to see 44 points from 34, really needs to be added to a little bit because they will pick up away wins at some points, so a figure around 50 is probably sound. Do they have enough to get all the way up to around 60 points though? If so, a turn around in fortunes for them, really would bring some good profit in buying them, but they need to be a lot better than they have been. Remember key factors of injuries and transfers. Liverpool are fragile with only Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres being really productive. More injuries to them will equal more lost points on the season.

Everton Spread Betting Quote – 50-51.5

Current Points: 18 from 17 played
Last Season Points Total: 61

Simply haven’t gotten their act together the season as expected and you hear most experts and pundits talking about them, and they are expected to reach mid table safety. Worryingly, they are one of the lowest scoring teams in the Premier League and they will continue to draw a lot of games. Going along at the current click, would see them around 36 points from 34 matches. Averaging just 1.06 points per game would put them around 40 points at the end of the season. Add a couple of good wins on top of that, and that still doesn’t hit the quote. Worth a little flutter in Selling on their quote maybe? Are they going to face that kind of trouble over the second half of the season, or will they come good?
