Chelsea in the Premier League

Chelsea are the popular choice among punters for the Premier League title as fans reminisce on Jose Mourinho’s former successes and believe the Special One – or Happy One, as he now likes to be known – is ready to do it all again. Mourinho won two titles plus the FA Cup during his reign at Stamford Bridge and few fans doubt he doesn’t have the ability and resources to repeat these feats.

However, the resurgence of Manchester City means the Blues are likely to find their title challenge tough next season, while both Arsenal and Manchester United are set to strengthen before the transfer window is out. City look ready once again after Manuel Pellegrini’s arrival blew the cobwebs away from an Etihad Stadium that staged an indifferent season last term. Now, with a new manager and fresh players coming into the squad City are a good shout to win the league.

The same can be said of United and Arsenal but fans should wait to see their transfer dealings this summer before placing a bet. Indeed, sports betting in preseason is a lot like playing in the online casino. You don’t just go head-on into a game but instead consider what you like, maybe play the demo versions and then go for real money. Equally, betting on Chelsea to win the league at this stage is risky because we haven’t seen this team in competitive action yet.

The best thing to do is wait until September to bet on the football, for the big teams will then have had chance to impress in competition. Instead, playing the online slots, such as the popular sports arcade Game On, is a great way to while away the afternoons until the season begins.

The slots boast all the tension found at Stamford Bridge or Old Trafford on derby day and there’s big money to be won if you strike lucky.
