We go again.
LAS VEGAS — Here it is. Midweek, post-Festive Fixtures are fair game. Tuesday through Thursday Premier League action is upon us and Matchweek 21 is all systems go. From the betting perspective, MW20 saw bad business with a 1-2 ledger including an all-time level tough beat on the *Best Bet by Darkseid Sports*.
Anywho, moving on, I’m bullish on my chances again. Here is the deal for MW21:
THE TIMELINE
COINCEDENTAL STADIUM of the WEEK
A series depicting a stadium which corresponds to a play featured in The Premier League Prologue actions to open the show.
- Turf Moor, Burnley, Lancashire, England
MW21 POSITIONS PL
*Best Bet by Darkseid Sports* RECORD: 8-9-3 (Record displayed in Win-Loss-Push format)
2025-26 PUBLISHED BET RECORD: 31-30-3 (All plays, W-L-P format).
- Straight Bets (Sides, Totals, BTTS): 31-21-3
- Parlays: 0-6 (?!?)
- Proposition (SoT, ATG Team Props, etc.): 0-3
These results are unacceptable, embarrassing and so far beneath established standards. I hate it. I couldn’t even bring myself to list the percentages. Obviously, the time is now to go on a run.

BTTS SUPERFACT
KEY OPINION
This is a play on the fact the data and mathematics say both parties will score a goal in this match.
MY TAKE
The BTTS Special has seen mixed results thus far but I’m undeterred in the pursuit of delivering winners. Not sure what I’m supposed to say really re: my take on The BTTS Special: I think both parties can score a goal in its respective match.
— ⚽️: MUN 90+ (-45)
📚: BetMGM
KEY METRICS:
- MUN: T5/20 in PTS/MP (1.55). The Red Devils are 3/20 in aggregate xG (35.2).
- BUR: 19/20 in GS (20) & 18/20 in GA (39).
SUPERFACT
KEY OPINION
- I just think there is value in backing United here to do the job in regular time when it’s priced under my threshold of 60 cents. It sounds like United is progressing on the injury front. There’s no way the club could jettison its manager one day and then lose to Burnley the next. That’s not something the biggest club England has ever known would do.
GL🤝Play Responsibly
— ⚽️BB: TOT +.5 (-40)
📚: Circa Sports
KEY METRICS
- TOT: T5/20 in Goal Differential (+4) & T6/20 in GA/90 (1.20).
- BOU: T16 in GD (-7). The Cherries are 17/20 in GA/90 (1.90).
BEST BET SUPERFACT
KEY OPINION
- I see this as a spot where Spurs are live as a road underdog. I don’t like how the Cherries have tended in recent weeks. It’s best player just signed for City.
MY TAKE
For the *Best Bet by Darkseid Sports* for MW21, it’s a play on Tottenham on the Spread getting a half-goal. This is a play against the present form of Bournemouth and with news of the Semenyo transfer, I just can’t get there with the Cherries. It has been a minute since they played great football. I think this is another spot to catch them napping. The North London side is much better defensively and in net. Spurs aren’t great by any means and have underachieved but I’ll back them here. Spurs +.5 is your *Best Bet by Darkseid Sports* for the Premier League Matchweek 21.
FC Record YTD: 11-6
— ⚽️: ARS -1 (-10)
I passed on this to focus on other positions. There was reservation due to the fact I didn’t want to have to win by two goals.

BEYOND THE TABLE
You can get the Premier League Table anywhere. It matters at MW21. But a Table built on xG is something we can use for Sports Investment purposes over the course of the competition in the now and Squawka has done solid, practical work in bringing us this PL Table built on xG.

FUTURISTICS REVISITED
It’s tostadas at MW21. Cole Palmer would have to go on a run, which is possible as he’s been superb upon his return. Amad creates and has been fine for United but the AFCON absence is detrimental. Brentford has vastly exceeded any expectation anybody had. I had it wrong there, as of now.
