West Ham odds to win the league tumble

|

Chelsea players celebrate with trophy after winning the English Premier League at Stamford Bridge in LondonThe odds for West Ham to win the Premier League in the 2016/2017 season have tumbled this year as short as 66/1 which makes them eighth favourite to lift the trophy. Man City are the favourites followed by Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea for the top four.  Spurs at fifth favorites followed by Liverpool and last season’s winners Leicester City in seventh before West Ham.

Leicester City were a massive 5000/1 chance last year and bookies took a battering paying out millions of pounds to Leicester fans who bunged a tenner of their team.

West Ham were placed as 1000/1 outsiders last year to win the league but our odds shortened to 400/1 by November after they got a great start to the season.

Just in case you think the bookies have placed everyone short odds.  West Brom, Watford, Middlesborough, Hull, Burnley, Bournemouth and Sunderland are all 1500-1 to lift the Premier League title.  Swansea are 1250-1 and Crystal Palace 1000-1.

If you shop around you can still get 100-1 for West Ham to win the league with some bookies including West Ham’s shirt sponsors Betway.
