We go again.
LAS VEGAS — Here it is. Weekend fixtures are fair game as Saturday through Monday Premier League action is upon us and Matchweek 24 is all systems go. From the betting perspective, MW23 saw a decent return with a 2-1 ledger but yet another miss on the *Best Bet by Darkseid Sports*. The Feature Play has succumbed in stoppage time in three of its last four releases and was toast early last week.
Anywho, moving on, I’m bullish on my chances again. This glacial period can’t last. Here is the deal for MW24:
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.
- Anfield, Liverpool, England
MW24 POSITIONS PL
*Best Bet by Darkseid Sports* RECORD: 8-12-3 (Record displayed in Win-Loss-Push format)
2025-26 PUBLISHED BET RECORD: 33-37-3 (All plays, W-L-P format).
- Straight Bets (Sides, Totals, BTTS): 33-27-3
- Parlays: 0-6
- Proposition (SoT, ATG, Team Props, etc.): 0-4
These results are unacceptable, embarrassing and so far beneath established standards. I hate it. I couldn’t even bring myself to list the percentages. The last month with the Feature Play has really hurt my feelings. Obviously, the time is now to end the glacial stuff and go on a run.
— ⚽️: “THE BTTS SPECIAL”
- BHAEVE BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE (-25)
📚: William Hill/Caesars
KEY METRICS
- BHA: 33 Goals Scored in 23 league matches YTD.
- EVE: 1.04 GLS/90, 1.13 GA/90.
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.
— ⚽️: PLAYER PROP: AMAD 1+ SoT (-40)
📚: BetMGM
KEY METRICS:
- FUL: 83 SoT conceded.
KEY OPINION
- I just think there is value in backing Amad to have a SoT. He’s really found his attacking place in the lineup. With other members of the squad out, he should feature.
GL🤝Play Responsibly
— ⚽️BB: LIV 3-WAY M/L (-20)
📚: William Hill/Caesars
KEY METRICS
- LIV: 6-3-2 in league play YTD at home.
- NEW: 2-4-5 in league play YTD away from home.
BEST BET SUPERFACT
KEY OPINION
- I see this as a spot where a much maligned LIV side can stack on success from midweek and handle a lesser (even if quality) opponent at home who has League Cup action on-deck midweek.
MY TAKE
For the *Best Bet by Darkseid Sports* for MW24, it’s a play on Liverpool to do the job inside 90 minutes plus stoppage time. I really liked how LFC looked midweek. Maybe a corner has been turned? The Slot machine will get repaired, right? Newcastle rarely has success at Anfield and in this scheduling spot, I feel like Newcastle’s upcoming midweek fixtures are problematic. For that, (LFC M/L -25) is your *Best Bet by Darkseid Sports* for the Premier League Matchweek 24.
FC Record YTD: 12-8
— ⚽️: CHEWHU UNDER 3 GOALS (-05)
📚: Circa Sports
I passed on this to focus on other positions. There was reservation due to the fact J liked the Amad prop better.

BEYOND THE TABLE
You can get the Premier League Table anywhere. It matters at MW24, obviously. 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 MW23. 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 was detrimental. He’s back going good but would need a huge finish to the term. Brentford has vastly exceeded any expectation anybody had. I had it wrong there.
