Monday 06 July 2009 at 11:57
Michael Owen's move to Man Utd has now been sealed and the bookies are going crazy trying to price up as many Michael Owen betting specials as possible and there could be some very good bets amongst them.
Owen To Get Back Amongst The Goals
There will be plenty of focus on how many goals Owen gets for the Premiership champions. Is has been a very long time since Owen last scored a Premiership hat trick and Totesport offer 13/2 that he scores one next season. Totesport have already cut their odds on Owen to score 20+ league goals next season, that is now 18/1.
Owen Should Now Make World Cup Squad
Michael Owen's main goal next season will be to make it into the England World Cup squad and Totesport make him a 5/2 chance to be selected by Fabio Capello. He will need proven goalscorers in his squad and since Owen will get plenty of chances next season it would be a big surprise if that 5/2 with Totesport isn't a great bet.
Owen Needs Games And Goals
Owen will need to get plenty of goals and play plenty of games if he is to make the squad, Totesport make him a 7/2 shot to be United's top scorer and 20/1 to be the Premiership top scorer. Ladbrokes are betting on how many games he will play next season, they make 11 to 20 Premiership games most likely at 10/11 and interestingly 10 or less games is more likely than 21 to 30 league games, they are 11/5 and 5/2 respectively with Ladbrokes. You can get 16/1 with Ladbrokes that Owen plays 31 or more games.
