Well the new season kicks off today in England, France and the Scottish Premier League follows the lower leagues in Scotland. Firstly, I will point out there will be no bets from me. My betting has been based on using the console to look for patterns etc but as this is a fresh season there is not enough for me to go on.

At present for each league I have included last seasons data with the current fixtures as a guide but am not sure how useful it will be. After each league has played 2 or 3 games I will drop last seasons fixtures and we can concentrate on the present and with luck bets will start to present themselves.

On a personal note I am also taking a trip to England and the moving house so realistically don’t have the time to look for other bets. I would have liked to have looked at how successful promoted teams have been on the opening weekend in England as I imagine it would have been quite good in all league bar the premiership. I remember being at Crystal Palace a few seasons back after they had dropped from the premiership and Luton had just come up to the Championship and won 2-1. They had no pressure and on the back on a winning season were full of confidence. Swansea look interesting away at Charlton in the championship. Actually, I just had a rough look at teams that came up to the championship over the last 5 years and I think Luton were the only victors with about 6 draws!

I am using my team to continue with the development of the console and I do think it will be worth it. I envisage a really unique user experience with so many stats available that everyone will be happy. Loading times should also be cut down.

With the Premier League kicking in next week maybe I can find something but the last weekend in August sees Spain startup and I would think I will have an antepost bet or two there. In the meantime here are the only two bets advised so far.

++ Barclays Premiership Top Goalscorer – Adebayor @ 11/1 on Coral (1pt e/w)

++ Barclays Premiership Top Goalscorer – Carew @ 80/1 on Blue Sq (½pt e/w)

Good luck this weekend with your betting and please keep an eye on the site over the coming weeks and any input you have will be greatly appreciated.
