December 26 - Manchester United have usurped Chelsea as the odds on betting favourites to win the Barclays Premiership football title after demolishing Wigan on Boxing Day, while at the same time the defending premier league champions, Chelsea, were held to a 2-2 draw by soccer minnows Reading.
A look at the leading online sports betting websites shows that Manchester United are generally quoted at odds of 4/5 or 1.80 to win the Premiership while Chelsea are now available at Evens. The best price on the Blues is on offer at the online betting exchanges where 1.08 is being traded at Betfair.
If you want to back Manchester United to win the league then you should consider Bet365, which seems doubtful of that 4-point cushion at the top of the table, and has priced United at 5/6. That's football betting value in our opinion, but we're biased as we just finished watching Ronaldo and pals dismantle Wigan Athletic 3-1.
We also saw Chelsea humbled by Reading as that one finished 2-2 thanks to an Essien own goal five minutes from time, which cancelled out another virtuouso perfomance by Drogba who is clearly the best striker playing in an English football team today.
If you want to bet on a third horse to win this two-horse race then you're a) stark-raving mad and b) in line for a 50/1 payday on Arsenal. Your tenner could be worth 500 quid in the same time it takes to sell your cow for a handful of magic beans.
But wait! If Arsenal wins the league this year the entire Insider team will skydive naked onto the pitch at the start of the FA Cup final. If by chance they don't win the premier league then of course you owe us that tenner (this is GAMBLING not a charity, my son) and you can mail it to us c/o Arsene Wegner, Arsenal Stadium, Avenell Road, Highbury, London, N5 1BU, England. It is apparent that he needs the money a lot more than we do, although it's doubtful he'd make better use of it.
