<\/a><\/p>\nThe Premier League is the top flight of English football in which some of the greatest clubs, players, and managers in the world pit their wits against each other and compete for the title.<\/p>\n
There are 20 teams in the league every season and each team plays each other twice during a single campaign, once at home and once away, meaning that every team plays 38 competitive games.<\/p>\n
The winner of each game gets 3 points and if the result is a draw both side get a single point each. Manchester City hit the headlines in 2018 for being the first club to ever score 100 points in one season.<\/p>\n
The side that finishes top of the division at the end of the season is crowned the champions of England, while the teams that finish 2nd-4th qualify for the UEFA Champions League, so these places are as hotly contested as the title.<\/p>\n
Three sides are also relegated each year and are replaced by the three who are promoted from the tier below, the Championship. It can be very difficult for newly promoted clubs to stay the course against much tougher opposition, so many a time newly promoted clubs end up facing relegation straight away.<\/p>\n
Betting on the Premier League<\/h2>\n
Betting on the Premier League can be a fun thing to do. There are so many betting markets available now, with over 100 regularly on offer for each individual match, ranging from the match result to the number of goals, the first\/last\/anytime goalscorers, and whether a red card will be shown or a penalty missed. Basically, if you can think of a bet then you can probably place it on a Premier League match.<\/p>\n
With the advent of in-play betting you can even place your bets while the match is being played, betting on things like the next team to score or even whether the next set play will be a corner, throw-in or goal kick.<\/p>\n The key to making a net win from betting on the Premier League is the same as for all sports and competitions: do your homework. It is unlikely that the bookies will get the odds wrong here as they sometimes do with some lower or foreign leagues, but there are so many betting offers available for Premier League matches these days that you can always find a nice chunk of betting value. These will range from enhanced odds to money back offers and help to give you the edge with your bets. The same goes for the bookies’ free bets<\/a> that they dish out when you first join them.<\/p>\n So, in short, study the form, head to head record, and general stats, snap up any free bets or betting offers that are available, place your bets and then sit back to enjoy watching the best football league in the world.<\/p>\n Credit: Santi Villamar\u00ednFlickr<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n The Premier League began in 1992 when the members of what was then the First Division decided to break away from the Football League in order to accept a TV deal from Sky that sent the commercialisation of football onto another level. As the Premier League \u2018brand\u2019 has escalated over the last 30 years or so, the competition has achieved more and more of a global appeal. Football fans from all over the world tune in to see their favourite players and teams while more and more nationalities are represented in the division year on year.<\/p>\n There have been various concerns over the last few years that the money involved in European football, as well as the fact that the prize money and TV money increases the higher up the Premier League table you finish, is rapidly widening the gap in revenue between the top few clubs and the rest. As this gap increases, the big clubs will be able to afford the lower clubs\u2019 best players and they will never truly be able to compete.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\nA Brief History of the Premier League<\/h2>\n
