Win £10,000 at Ladbrokes and Paddy Power by predicting the Premier League

Two of the biggest and best bookmakers around have a competition available where you can easily win £10,000.

Ladbrokes have recently launched a Premier League prediction promotion ahead of the new season, where customers have to select who they think will finish in the top three and the bottom three of the table by the end of the season.

Providing that you’re right with your prediction and nobody else has matched your achievement, Ladbrokes will credit your account with £10,000 in free bets. This competition is totally free to enter and it’s definitely worth opening a Ladbrokes betting account now if you don’t already have one.

For what it’s worth, we are going for an Arsenal – Chelsea – Manchester United top three and a Wigan (18th) – Sunderland (19th) – West Brom (20th) bottom three. Fingers crossed!

Meanwhile, Paddy Power are continuing to run with their popular Last Man Standing competition this season, something which offers £10,000 to the person / people who survive until the final round.

It costs £10 to enter a particular game and you have to pick a particular Premier League team to win that weekend. If you’re right, then you go through to the next round, although you won’t be allowed to pick the same team twice. Therefore, while many people will be going for Chelsea against West Brom this coming weekend, it could be worth a look at the fixture list to see whether this is an ideal time to pick Wigan (who are playing Blackpool).

Two other pieces of advice when it comes to playing Last Man Standing at Paddy Power. Firstly, you do have one opportunity to select the team + draw for a particular round, although this is definitely worth saving until a later stage. Secondly, if you go out in the first round, you will receive a free entry into the following week’s game (where you start all over again) so it’s worth taking a calculated risk.

In addition to Last Man Standing, Paddy Power have a wide range of markets available on the new Premier League season, including Top English Goalscorer, Longest Unbeaten Run and Name the Top Four Teams. You can back Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal and Manchester City at odds of 23/10, or instead go for the first three and Tottenham at 15/2, which is what happened last year.

Unsurprisingly, Wayne Rooney is the 8/11 favourite with Paddy to be Top English Goalscorer, with Jermain Defoe on offer at 13/2, Darren Bent at 15/2, although Frank Lampard could be the value pick at 9/1.

As for Longest Unbeaten Run, you can back Manchester United to achieve this at 11/4 and they certainly look a better bet than the 2/1 about Chelsea considering the Blues have lost their last four pre-season friendlies.
