Betting Strategy No.
Some people say that backing winners to win again is a strategy that will eventually fail.
This might be right, but consistency, reliability and confidence is another thing.
Below, I’ve compiled a list of all Premier League – only - Manchester United games last year and their results.
Assuming that we were following them week in and week out with a £5 bet, we would have finished the season
with a staggering £141.65.
Of course, you can argue that this year Manchester United might not look as strong as they were last year, since
key players, that can hardly be replaced, have left. However, this does not mean that Manchester United is not
going to win games. Maybe not as many games as last year but enough, hopefully, to give us – punters –
assurance to follow them all the way through.
It should be noted that, Manchester United and the Premier League have been picked up as an example. This can
also be applied to any other major European Leagues, provided that some background research is done. As a
result, all comments and suggestions will be much appreciated. Please feel free to contact me through the blog or
