The ball is hit for six. But what happens next?

 



Football

We are pleased to say we have expanded our range of non-live football spread betting markets for German football. For all matches in the Bundesliga which are not traded in-play, we will now be offering Corners, Bookings and selected Player Goal Minutes spreads pre-match.

Remember for the Premier League we offer in-play fixed odds and spread betting on every game whether televised or not. The big game in the top flight is Monday night’s Manchester City v Chelsea clash at the Etihad.

City have been scoring goals galore at home so far this season but can Jose park the bus and find a way to stem the Citizens’ tide? Our Supremacy price for this one is Man City/Chelsea 0.55 - 0.75.

The weekend’s Premier League fixtures start with the Tyne-Wear derby at St James’s Park at 12.45pm on Saturday. With Sunderland scrapping for their lives near the bottom of the table this is sure to be a fiery affair. Our traders have Bookings at 64 - 68.

West Ham v Swansea is also a 12.45pm game with the Supremacy price Swansea/West Ham (h) 0 - 0.2.

The 3pm fixtures feature Cardiff/Norwich 0.2 - 0.4, Everton/Villa 1.15 - 1.35, Southampton/Fulham (h) 0.25 - 0.45, Tottenham/Hull (h) 0.4 - 0.6, and Man United/Stoke (h) 0.95 - 1.15.

Sunday’s clashes see Liverpool, fresh from thrashing neighbours Everton in the midweek Merseyside derby, travel to West Brom for a 1.30pm kick-off match followed by Arsenal attempting to reignite their title charge at home to Crystal Palace at 4pm.

Our fixed odds prices for both games are; West Brom 17/4, draw 3/1, Liverpool 8/13 and Arsenal 2/11, the draw 5/1 and Palace 14/1.

With the Champions League last 16 returning next month, our spreads and fixed odds for the last 16 first leg games are now live with, interestingly, none of the home sides favourites for any of the ties. Our Supremacy prices are; PSG/Leverkusen (h) 0.1 - 0.3, Man City/Barcelona -0.1 - 0.1, Atl Madrid/AC Milan (h) 0.1 - 0.3, B Munich/Arsenal (h) 0.5 - 0.7, Dortmund/Zenit (h) 0.5 - 0.7, Man United/Olympiakos (h) 0.2 - 0.4, Chelsea/Galatasaray(h) 0.45 - 0.65 and Real Madrid/Schalke (h) 1 - 1.2.

Our fixed odds outright prices have Bayern Munich 9/4 favourites, Real Madrid 9/2, Barcelona 5/1, Dortmund 10/1, Chelsea 12/1, Atletico Madrid 12/1, Paris St Germain 14/1, Manchester City and United both 16/1 and Arsenal 33/1.

We’ve also now released further World Cup betting markets including Group spread betting indices and a range of other fixed odds markets.

Will England get out of their tough group? England’s 25:10:5 Group Index price is 10.25-11.75 and their fixed odds price to qualify is 4/6.
