There are a lot of online opportunities for football betting, as well as casino gambling. It is wise to shop around and try to find the operator which offers the best odds and games.
David Moyes – Capable or Not?
Ever since Sam Allardyce was appointed as manager of England and Sunderland hired David Moyes, there is one question that’s on the mind of every Sunderland fan. Will Moyes be able to keep the club in the Premier League? – is the question. The public opinion on Moyes is divided.
- Three time winner of the League Managers Association Manager of the Year award, which is considered the most prestigious manager award as it is awarded based on the opinions of other football managers;
- Over 10 years at Everton;
- Was chosen by Sir Alex Ferguson as his successor at Man United.
The above facts are clear indicators of Moyes’s reputation. However we shouldn’t forget that:
- He was sacked by United after less than a year;
- Was sacked by Real Sociedad after exactly one year as a manager;
- Left Everton for rivalling Manchester United after more than 10 years as their manager.
It’s just the Begining
The club managed to win only 2 points after 7 matches and are stuck at the bottom of the table. It doesn’t look too good at this point. The things are pretty dark at Stadium of Light and fans clearly expect more. Despite the effort and dedication of each player, the team doesn’t perform as a unit.
A lot will have to be done if the club is to stay in the Premiership. Sunderland will have to start winning games and they will have to do it quickly. The Black Cats are now the only club, together with Stoke, that haven’t won a match this season. The team scored in five of their first seven matches, which isn’t bad, but they didn’t manage to keep a single clean sheet.
Quite High Odds
If Moyes manages to tighten up the defence a bit and Defoe and the rest of the attacking players keep on scoring goals, we can see a completely different table at Christmas. Right now the odds on Sunderland are pretty high considering the poor performances that the club has displayed so far. Therefore, if you believe in the Black Cats, now is the right time to bet on them.
• The best odds for Sunderland to stay up are 5/4;
• If you believe that the club will manage to finish in the top 10, you can get pretty high odds at 45/1;
• The odds for Sunderland to be the highest ranked club of the Northeast, ahead of Middlesbrough and Hull City are 5/1;
• The odds for Sunderland to finish ahead of Swansea are 13/8.
If you fancy your chances on any of the following bets, you may win a solid amount of money at the end of the season, if things work out well for Sunderland. Even the lowest odds, for Sunderland to stay up, already offer a profit higher than the wager. A £100 on the Black Cats would yield a £125 profit. Whereas if you think they’ll be better than the local rivals, you may win £500 with a £100 bet.
A Trophy, Perhaps?
The Premier League isn’t the only competition, though and Sunderland is still competing in the League Cup and the FA Cup. It is a long shot, but perhaps the Black Cats could win one of the two cups and bring home a cup title after 44 years. The best odds for Sunderland to win the FA Cup are 66/1, whereas the best odds for the League Cup are slightly lower, at 50/1.
