Premier League Preview Show: Sept 19-20

Sept. 18, 2009 - PRLog -- The Former Premier League players are back this week with another cracking show...

Former Premier League footballers Steve Claridge and Jason Cundy are back on BetRepublic to give sports bettors the heads-up on where the betting value lies in this weekend’s full programme of Premier League fixtures.

Members of the fast-growing sports betting community, http://www.betrepublic.com/ love to tune in to the website’s TV channel (every Friday to see where the lads are putting their money).

Cundy and Claridge take viewers through every Premier League game and tell bettors how the game will be played, how many goals will be scored and who the likely goal scorers will be.

The duo, who coincidentally both used to play for Portsmouth FC, gives two betting recommendations for every game.

They have a tremendous tipping record and sports bettors who follow them are already showing a healthy level-stakes profit on the season.

Meanwhile, here is a flavour of what to expect with a few stats and betting recommendations for the weekend of 19th September 2009 - 20th September 2009.
