MANCHESTER, England, August 13, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Do you want to know where the real cash is being spent this new Premier League football season?
Well it's not at Eastlands, Stamford Bridge, Old Trafford or Anfield. It's at the bookies.
Millions of pounds will be gambled this Premier League campaign with supporters backing their teams with their wallets.
Bookie and ardent Manchester United fan Fred Done is now more optimistic about his team's chances this term.
"Chelsea are still favourites but I think Man United will push them all the way. The punters have now come for the reds and they are now 9/4 for a record 19th title. You've got to trust Sir Alex and the young Mexican Chicharito excites me."
Fred Done famously paid out early on Manchester United to win the Premier League in 1998 only for Arsenal to pip his beloved United, but this year he does not think it will be the Gunners celebrating.
Betfred boss Fred Done said,
"Arsenal have not strengthened enough for me and I could see Man City finishing above them. I know City have not won the league for five hundred years but I think they will go close this season and definitely be crowned Champs in the next three years. That hurts me to say that!"
As usual Fred is happy to take on Liverpool and Betfred.com are now an industry best price of 16/1 for the Merseysiders to win the league.
"I'm afraid for the Liverpool fans the wait to win the league will continue and they will carry on paying for my holidays! Although I do think Roy Hodgson is a good appointment there's still too much uncertainty at Anfield."
But it's not just about backing the Premier League winner there are a whole host of markets available for whoever you support.
Fred added,
"Everton fans are backing their team on the handicap with plus 22 points and Fulham fans are backing their team to finish in the top half at 9/4. I can't wait for the new season to get going."
