Should You Bet On Football Team-Liverpool To Win The Champion League 2009/2010?

In football betting, from the fourth favorite to the outsiders, from odds $7 to $50 outsiders, that is the extent of the giant Liverpool football team fall from grace in this season Champion League 2009/2010.

But who can blame on the Anfield outfit.

Just in recent weeks, you can see that this team has had no sense of purpose. It seems flat and it lacking invention, spontaneity and power. A team which loaded with offensive weapons but unable to use them in the fullest. From the bookmaker point of view, a figure which says plenty about this team – Liverpool is not going to win the Champion League 2009/2010.

Although the betting odds $50 say so, perhaps you still think that Rafa Benitez, the team manager can make a turnaround to win the Champion League, but would you? Do you dare to ? I guess not.

Many football punters felt it was too early of the bookmakers to give up on them, but in the hindsight, they were correct. Just flash back to the recently two months, that make and break its chance of winning the champion league. Liverpool’s tumble on the books came after they were beaten 2 nil by Fiorentina on 29 September. Two days later, their odds had gone up to $30, while the rival team Manchester United dropped from $9 to $5.50

Liverpool then went on to lose 1-2 to Lyon at their own turf, and drew 1-1 on the away match. Hence Liverpool are now on $50 long shots. Which means a $100 stake will bring in a cool $5000, provide they win the trophy on 22 May,2010.
Which is a very tall order.

The conclusion : I agree with the bookmarker that Liverpool will not win the champion league this season.
