Five bets that could prove profitable this Premier League season

Predicting how the 2015/16 Premier League season will unfold is a hazardous task but that won’t dissuade punters from trying to make a quick buck. Here’s five bets that could prove profitable this season.

Straight forecast – Chelsea 1st, Arsenal 2nd, 6/1 Boylesports

While a tighter title race than last season can be expected, it’s hard to escape the sense that Chelsea are ultimately likely to be celebrating again come next May. But from a punting perspective, —unless you’re willing to bet big, it’s hard to justify a bet at skimpy odds of 6/4 or 13/8. A straight forecast might be the best road to take and of the three credible contenders to Chelsea’s crown, Arsenal look best equipped to chase them home. The Gunners have a more settled look than either of the Manchester clubs and their strength in depth should see them push their London rivals all the way.
