Real Madrid: Favourite for next season

The Real Madrid is the favorite team to win the Spanish League next year. Its newfound status as champion is enough to appear on 'pole' ahead of Barcelona for next season, the 2012-2013 season. According to various bookmakers, Mourinho's team will repeat the title. If you think Real Madrid will be next champion and bet 1 euro on it, you will win 1.60 in 12 months. While Barcelona's betting odds go up to 2.25 euros.

Bets again confirm that will be a league to play between two teams. The umpire is the Malaga team, which is paid 51-1. Malaga with its petro-dollars comes from below and has dislodged to Valencia, traditional umpire in recent years. Now, Valencia is paid 81-1. Fourth is the Simeone's Atletico de Madrid (101-1). Behind appear Sevilla and Athletic Bilbao(151-1), Levante (1,001-1), Espanyol and Betis (1,501-1), and Osasuna, Real Sociedad, Mallorca and Getafe (all of them are paid 2,001-1).

For the top scorer, bets are matched. Although Messi is the current top scorer with 50 goals, ahead of the Cristiano, it is not enough to hold the status of favorite. The betting odds are the same for the Argentinian and Portuguese, 2-1. If anyone thinks that the trend of the past three seasons will be broken (the 'Flea' has won this year and in the 09-10 season while CR7 achieved the trophy in last season), can bet on no one of both will be the top scorer. Will win 9 euros per euro bet.

You can even combine league title and top scorer. If Real Madrid is champion and Cristiano Ronaldo is the 'Pichichi', you will win 2.40 euros per euro bet. If Barcelona achieves the League and Messi the top scorer, you can win 3.30 euros per euro bet. Of course, should be recalled that in the past two seasons, the winner of the league and the top scorer have not worn the same shirt. Real Madrid and Messi won this year League title and top scorer, respectively. Barca and Cristiano did it in 2011.
