We have already seen some exciting moves in the transfer market over this pre-season period. Manchester City have signed Erling Haaland and look set to sign Kalvin Phillips from Leeds. Liverpool have snapped up Darwin Nunez from Benfica and Fabio Carvalho from Fulham and there are still plenty more deals purportedly in the pipeline.
Of course, this makes fans all the more excited for the start of the new season, which is not too far off now, and that means that attention turns to which teams will be those challenging for the league title in the different leagues and divisions across England, Scotland and Europe’s top leagues.
Betting on which team will win the league in their division is one of the most popular pre-season soccer bets in the world, and now bet365 Sport has come up with an offer to make betting with them even more appealing.
It’s a relatively new offer available through to the start of September and it is one that could, in time earn you a payout, even if your bet ultimately proves to be a loser.
Let’s take a look at this offer in a bit more detail.

This new offer from bet365 is available as we head towards the start of the season and is applicable to outright winner market bets place in the qualifying period on any of a number of football divisions in England, Scotland and across the major European countries (a full list is shown in the T&Cs).
With this bonus, if you place a bet on any team to win their respective league or division that is included in this bonus, and the team at any point in the season opens up a lead over the next best team of 10 points or more, then you will be paid out as a winner.
That is the case even if the team then goes on to lose their 10-point+ lead and does not eventually win the title come the end of the season.
Now you may think that not many teams take a 10-point lead or more and then go on to lose the title, but it has happened on a number of occasions. Newcastle United did so in the 1995/96 season and Manchester United in the 1997/98 season.
Even last year, Manchester City at one point held a 14-point lead at the top of the table and by the end of the season, won the league title over Liverpool on the final day by just one point.
So this offer can prove to be very useful, so let’s take a look at the main terms and conditions for the bonus.
The offer is available on the following leagues for the 2022/23 season:
If you want to access this offer, then you can bet on any of the 12 different leagues (or divisions) outlined above, but what are the best options within this group for you to consider when making a bet?
Let’s now take a look at some of the teams we’d back to win their league title next year and who may benefit from being part of this particular offer at bet365.
If you want a very small, but likely quick payout on this offer, then backing Paris St Germain to win the French Ligue 1 title is the best bet. Over the last decade or so, the team from the French capital have dominated Ligue 1 and in many of those seasons, they have been clear by ten points or more usually by the mid-way point of the season.
Given that some of their main rivals, Lyon, Monaco, Lille and Marseille are on the verge of losing some key players, and that PSG have persuaded Kylian Mbappe to remain at the club, the French Champions will likely dominate this league once again and should have a big gap by the time we reach Christmas and the resumption of league football after the World Cup.
Julian Nagelsman may be resigned to losing star striker Robert Lewandowski this year, but the German giants have already signed a top-quality replacement in the shape of Sadio Mane and given the strength in depth of their squad in all positions, it is hard to see them not claiming yet another Bundesliga league title in comfortable fashion.
Dortmund have been dealt a big blow by losing Haaland to Manchester City, while the likes of Frankfurt, Leverkusen and Red Bull Leipzig can all beat Bayern in a single game but cannot match the consistency of the Munich side over the course of the entire season.
As such, I do expect Bayern to win the Bundesliga again and they may well have established an unassailable lead by the time we reach January or February 2023.
I think either of the two Glasgow giants are worth considering for this bet as they are by far and away the best two teams in their division and in truth, they are each others rivals for the SPL title.
Both teams could open up a 10 point gap, and both could lose it to the other team, which makes a bet on either of them somewhat appealing, particularly Rangers who are 5/4.
All it would take is a couple of bad results for one team, followed by a defeat in an Old Firm derby and a big gap can quickly follow, so I think both these teams are worthy of considering for this bet.
