2012/13 Top Goalscorers
One of the most keenly contested side bets on the Premier League is that of who will finish top goalscorer and be awarded the Golden Boot. Since the Premier League was established in the 1992-93 season, there have been a host of different winners, but on the whole players from the teams who do well that season. The betting for top goalscorer will be competitive in the 2012/13 season, with the usual suspects such as Luis Suarez, Michu and Robin Van Persie well fancied.
Further down the betting are the likes of Ba, Rooney and Gareth Bale, while Frank Lampard and Walcott continues to pop up with goals from midfield.
A popular ante-post bet at the beginning of the season, the betting market stays open during the campaign with the odds changing all of the time.
