So Arsenal is a pretty clear favorite to win the season.

Well, that link doesn't work, but if you go to www.tradesports.com and select the English Premier League, Arsenal is selling for a fat $57, while Man U is a veritable bargain at $22.  Perhaps you should work a little arbitrage.

Different kind of trading.  The trade sports site works like a casino, putting valuations to certain outcomes.
 
 

Once you have opened your account and funded it, Exchange Trading is easy.  
 Select the Event you want to trade, E.g. The Rams to Win the Super Bowl
 Review the offers that other players have posted. If you think the Rams will win, you "Bet On" or "Buy" the Rams. If you think they wont you "Bet Against" or "Sell".
 If you think an offer posted by another player is fair you can accept it by clicking on "Bet On"/"Bet Against" on the Betting Screen, or "Buy"/"Sell" on the Trading Screen.
 Once you have selected the offer you want, simply press "Confirm". It's that easy!
 If you do not see an offer at the odds/price or stake you want, why not post up what you want for others to take.
 E.g. Suppose you want to stake $2,000 on the Rams at +200 and this offer is not available. All you have to do is Click on "Bet On" and adjust the stake and odds to $2,000 and +200. If your offer is reasonable you will likely get the action you want.  
 Call now on 1-866-303-1927 (till 17.00 EST) for a tour, takes less than 5 minutes.
 

In other words, if Arsenal is selling for more than twice the price of ManU, then a lot more people are betting that Arsenal will win the season than are betting that ManU (or any other team) will win the season.

Thanks.  Sorry I've been so quiet but I've got a new job and until I get settled I'll have to disappear for a while.
 
 Anyhow, I read in another post where you said that they'd better plug that hole in the leaky defense and that's the whole truth and nothing but the truth.  Rio Ferdinand must be feeling a bit small these days as his abscence is killing United at the moment.  Whenever I see that Anti-Drug commercial where the announcer says "Just tell them you cost them the championship because you didn't pass the drug test" I think of Rio.  Fookin idiot!

Smack, upcoming show at Bottom of the Hill.  I've recently seen both Dressy Bessy and Deathray Davies -- this should be a GREAT triple bill!

Cheers for the heads up.  I haven't had time to look at Pollstar all week either.
