  How have the odds moved since the start of the season?
  
  Man Utd
  Start of season - 5/2
  Now - 11/2
  It’s no surprise to see that their odds have lengthened after such a disappointing start, but they’re still comfortably shorter than Liverpool and Spurs. The bookies haven’t written them off, and nor should they, making up that 6 point gap to 1st place at this stage of the season is more than do-able. Obviously their form will have to pick up soon if that’s to happen, but if it does you’ll not get anything like 11/2. So if you fancy them to come good, now’s the time to stick a few quid on it.
  
  Man City
  Start - 9/4
  Now - 2/1
  There’s not much in it, but after such an inconsistent start I’m surprised to see City’s odds shortening. Like United, they’ve got a new man at the helm so I can only imagine the bookies are banking on results improving once Pellegrini and Moyes have settled. The favourite tag is probably still just about deserved, but with Arsenal and Liverpool both going well, I’d be after more of an incentive than 2/1 to back them.
  
  Chelsea
  Start 9/4
  Now - 23/10
  Just about lengthened, but so close it makes no difference. If they’d kept hold of Lukaku then they’d be my favourites but I can see their lack of forward options hindering them at some point, in fact you might say it already has. Just how special is the Special One? If you think he’ll make the difference, then Chelsea are worth a punt at this price.
  
  Arsenal
  Start - 11/1
  Now - 9/2
  Their odds have more than halved, but wasn’t a decent start to be expected? I’d be tempted to hold off and see if they can avoid their annual February meltdown and double-figure injury list. Though of course if they do, you’ll not get anything like 9/2.
  
  Tottenham
  Start 25/1
  Now - 14/1
  It’s by no means been a spectacular start for Spurs but they had as much upheaval as anyone over the summer, so the fact they’re still in and amongst it probably justifies the shortening of their odds. This is likely to be the most open Premier League season in a long time so if you were feeling ambitious, a few quid at 14s wouldn’t be ridiculous.
  
  Liverpool
  Start - 28/1
  Now - 7/1
  I imagine there’s a lot more people fancying them at 7/1 now than 28/1 at the start of the campaign. It’s reasonable to expect them to fall away but with no European distractions, the squad isn’t going to be stretched too thin, and they could just as easily maintain their early form. A lot will depend on Suarez and Sturridge of course, but who’s to say they won’t at least be challenging come the end of the season?
  
  Everton
  Start - 250/1
  Now - 150/1
  Maybe not, but 10/1 on them finishing top 4 might be worth a look.
  
  Southampton
  Start - 2000/1
  Now - 1000/1
  They’re obviously not going to win it but that’s quite the odds slash. The Saints are the surprise package so far (well, them or Man Utd) and that’s reflected here.
  
  Who do you fancy to win it at the moment?

  I just look at Man City's home performances (bar the Villa match) and think they will be very tough to take points from at the Etihad so to me they would be the only team I would back but not at 2-1

  I think it would be ridiculous, they're not going to WIN it are they, sure they might do well or better than expected or whatever but not win actually lift the trophy.
  
  i reckon to make money prolly put money on 2 out of the top 3 man u, chelsea, city. right now looks like city, but who knows, i'm shit at predictions lol
  
  nice thread btw.

  It's going to be a close one. I think arsenal will soon fall away as they are bound to get injuries and that squad can't cope. As a man utd fan I can't see utd winning it moyes just can't seem to get the team going yet. I would say city for me may shade it this year.

  Probably not, you're right. But 14/1 seems generous, I wouldn't have been shocked by 10s.

  Unless you pick one of the usual suspects you're basically wasting your money.... but the good thing about high odds are you get good each way odds for being placed, so bet carefully and you still end up a winner...
  
  Even 1000/1 for Southampton is a joke really, they're not going to win, so why not 10000/1, it's all about the each ways, and handicap markets the bookies offer... and look around, as not all of them agree on the odds and you can find some value for a few minutes work... if you've never heard of the likes of oddschecker https://www.oddschecker.com/ , then it's worth a look, don't bet through them, just use it to check what everyone's doing, also by signing up to individual bookies online you get more offers extended to you than if you get referred from another site...

  I think Russy has hit the nail on the head there, the big teams are priced accordingly, as I say I think Man City will win but for a 7-8 month bet 2/1 is not worthwhile backing unless you go in big
