The Premeir League is the Best League in the World and the Best League There Is. Other leagues simply don’t measure up.

LAS VEGAS — Here it is. Extended weekend fixtures are ready as Friday through Monday Premier League action is here and Matchweek 35 is all systems go. MW34 was class and a return to form with a 3-0 ledger and a clean sweep of the portfolio. The First Cut even sliced and diced its way to victory. I’m back again this week to remain in the winning ethos — which hopefully is to include — another satisfaction of the *Best Bet by Darkseid Sports*, which has occurred in 8 of its last 11 releases now.

The Feature Play got there in MW34.
Winning brings us together.
Follow me on X for more nonsensical rants.

Anywho, moving on, I’m bullish on my chances again. I’m poised to close the term expertly and ferociously.

Here is the deal for MW35:

MW35 POSITIONS PL

*Best Bet by Darkseid Sports* RECORD: 16-15-3 (Record displayed in Win-Loss-Push format)

2025-26 PUBLISHED BET RECORD: 58-50-3 (All plays, W-L-P format).

  • Straight Bets (Sides, Totals, DNB, BTTS): 50-32-3
  • Parlays (Any) : 1-8
  • Propositions (SoT, ATG, Team, Match, etc.): 7-10

In total, I don’t feel like intrinsically these results meet my established standards. I can do better. Obviously, the time is now to stack on success and go on a run to close the 2025-26 Premier League season.

My Plays for MW35.

— ⚽️: “THE BTTS SPECIAL”

  • BOUCRY BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE (-35)

📚: William Hill/Caesars

Basic match and form info for The BTTS Special via the CBS Sports App (times Pacific).

KEY METRICS

  • BOU: 6/20 in Goals Scored (52) & 16/20 in Goals Against (52).
  • CRY: In 8 all-time matches away at Bournemouth pursuant to Premier League play, the Eagles have scored 9 goals (1.13 GLS/MP).
  • CRYBOU: Competed to a 3-3 draw on 10.18.25 in the reverse fixture at Selhurst Park.

KEY OPINION

This is a play on the fact the data and my interpretation of the situation say both sides will score and concede a goal in this match.

MY TAKE

The BTTS Special has seen mixed results thus far but I’m undeterred in my pursuit of delivering winners on the regular. Not sure what I’m supposed to say really regarding my take on The BTTS Special: I think both teams can score a goal in its respective match.

We are going to hit these as the term goes into completion. I won’t be denied, except for all the parlays in this market. The BTTS Special got there yet again in MW34.

— ⚽️: MATCH PROPS: 2TM PAR (+35)

  • BREWHU OVER 9.5 CORNERS
  • MUNLIV OVER 9.5 CORNERS

📚: BetMGM

Basic match info via the Sports App (times Pacific)
The West Ham, Brentford, Manchester United and Liverpool team profiles via Real Sports.

KEY METRICS

  • BRE: Averages 4.91 Corners per match pursuant to League play.
  • WHU: Averages 5.0 Corners per match relevant to League play.
  • MUN: Averages 4.74 Corners per match in League play.
  • LIV: Averages 5.94 Corners in correlation to League play.

PROPDUSTER SUPERFACT

The PropDuster SuperFact with Grok. Look, when discussing Corners 10 is essentially the magic number. It’s a reasonable ask and, in my opinion, certainly within the recent attacking purview of the four clubs involved.

KEY OPINION

  • I just think there is value in backing the Over in the Corners market for these specific matches when one can attack auxiliary offensive markets rather than deciphering a winner inside 90+ minutes or guessing on a total.
This PropDuster Parlay serves as the official PropDuster Special for MW35.
It’s time for the *Best Bet by Darkseid Sports* for MW35.
GL🤝Play Responsibly

— ⚽️BB: CHE (3-Way) M/L (-40)

📚: BetMGM

Basic match and form data via the CBS Sports App.
CFC on X. The Blues are feeling good after its FA Cup win over the weekend.

KEY METRICS

  • CHE: 5/20 in Goals Scored (53), T5/20 in GLS/90 (1.53) & T8/20 in PTS/MP (1.41).
  • NFO: T15/20 in Goals Scored (41) & T13/20 in GLS/90 (1.18). Forest is 16/20 in PTS/MP (1.15).

BEST BET SUPERFACT

The Feature Play SuperFact with Gemini. Facts matter. And fact is, Stamford Bridge has been a venue of limited success for Forest over the years.

MY TAKE

For the *Best Bet by Darkseid Sports* for MW35, it’s a play on Chelsea to do the job inside 90+ minutes and take take all three points when it hosts Nottingham Forest Monday evening at Stamford Bridge in London. In the aftermath of the Blues discarding its most recent manager, the club took a 1-nil win over Leeds in FA Cup play last weekend. I think CFC can stack on success here and find some sort of upward trajectory in the league as the term nears completion. This is a ruthless scheduling spot for Forest. It has Europa League play midweek versus Aston Villa. The reverse fixture of that is next Thursday. So here is a road joust at Chelsea sandwiched in? On a Monday? Pass. No thanks. For all that, CHE (in) 90+ (-40) is your *Best Bet by Darkseid Sports* for the Premier League Matchweek 35.

The Darkseid Sports First Cut is a renowned play in the American football portfolio which denotes my top play which didn’t make my final card. It was 6-5 (ATS) pursuant to The 7 Best. It is meant to provide thought-provocation in the realm of overthinking and making wrong final judgements on your cards.

FC Record YTD: 18-13

— ⚽️: AVL DRAW NO BET (-50)

📚: William Hill/Caesars

I passed on this to focus on other positions. It’s a tough scheduling spot for Villa. I want nothing to do with the Tottenham circus.

MANCHESTER UNITED MINUTES

The big Man Utd news at this hour is Kobbie Mainoo has signed a new deal.
PL POY worthy…
OFFICIAL POSITION: My take is…there is no take. Imagine thinking this is a decision so simpleton in nature where we do the do si do where all the higher-ups sit down and talk about it and then make a decision. We’re way past that. This has been a Trial by Combat overseen by the Football Gods. There isn’t a decision to make. It will make itself. We all the know the scope of this job. We all know about Michael Carrick’s playing and coaching credentials. Blah blah. Not of that matters. The table makes this choice for us. There’s nothing more to say. IF Manchester United qualifies for the Top Four and Champions League (well I guess this term is Top 5) play then Michael Carrick has *earned* full-time appointment as Manchester United boss. I also firmly believe this isn’t a moment for the club to overhaul its managerial process. Continuity is needed. And most importantly, we know under INEOS Man Utd doesnt have unlimited resources. As we sit here today, the club would be better served spending its time, energy, headspace and resources strengthening the squad. It appears to already have a manager.
Related to my above point on a possible FT appointment of Carrick, consider the scope of the job he has done since assuming reigns from Amorim…

“At the highest level, when pressure is at its peak, tactics don’t score goals and they don’t clear danger in your box. Players do. The ones with courage, the ones who don’t hide, the ones who take responsibility when the game is tight and everything feels heavy.” – Sir Alex Ferguson

Unrelated, it is also the OFFICIAL POSITION of Darkseid Sports to stand with LFC and MUFC. There is no place for tragedy chanting. Just know, if you’re first inclination is to mock Munich and Hillsborough, for example, then I don’t like you and I prefer you not consume my contents. You’re not on the level to do so, in my opinion.

For these clubs, safety is not the upmost concern. Stay safe.
It used to be that 40 points would mean safety. Now?

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE MINUTES

A place in the UCL Final is there for the taking for the Gunners.

WORLD CUP MINUTES

To be honest, I’m unsure how I feel about this development. On one hand, the process feels artificial and different than history before but on the other this should keep all the first-choice players available for selection in the biggest matches.
From early April and my apologies on forgetting to share this but congratulations to all the officials who received qualification for this storied event.

BEYOND THE TABLE

You can get the Premier League Table anywhere. It matters at MW35, 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.

Also, “Beyond the Table,” during the final international break the Premier League introduced a game changer:

In case you missed it (ICYMI), here is a look back on my three (3) PL Futures I released here and on my X page.
It’s tostadas at MW35.

In his first visit to the U.S. as the British monarch, King Charles III toured the nation’s capital where he met with U.S. President Trump at the White House and addressed a joint meeting of Congress before traveling to New York City as part of a multi-day trip to mark the United States of America’s 250th anniversary of its independence.

INDUSTRY NOTE: I put considerable time and effort into this. Being the best is a process. Don’t plagiarize me, please. It’s already bad enough I’m totally excluded in the space yet have to be subjected to absolute hacks who get the run I don’t. As of this writing I have not seen any person or entity share the plays I have. So that makes me the source material. Any sharing or touting of my plays should include credit to Darkseid Sports. It’s easy. Failure to do so is an explicit proclamation of a gross lack of professional integrity on your part.

Albeit a different market, this is an example of what I deal with in this regard. Clearly, my talents are a blessing and a curse.

Here’s another example of the plagiarism I deal with. This from known plagiarists, a sports betting network which simply refuses to do its own work. We’ve been battling for years now. Somebody should ask them where they came up with the name “Beyond the Booth?”

I’ve used Beyond the…in various markets I publish about here since the inception of Darkseid Sports. Beyond the Table (see above) is proudly featured here.

Plagiarists. This is what I deal with.
The continued plight of plagiarism I face from this network is a cycle I refer to as The Brown Circle.

UPDATE: At 3:00 p.m. PST on the day of this release, well after publish, I was again plagiarized by this network’s talent (imagine using that term for this clown) who is nowhere near as good as I am at this:

I’m just better. I’ve proven such.
Plagiarists. Do your own work (for a change).
I loathe on the fact this might be the next step in this war. It’s out of control. Thanks for the help, Grok.
Good Luck and Play Responsibly
This has been a digitally written presentation by Darkseid Sports. Thanks for your time, all the best and good day.
