LIVE: Singapore Premier League a goldmine for gamblers due to extreme results

The Singapore Premier League may not be well-known among every football fan, except for a certain type: the gambler. For those who frequently bet on football matches, this league is pretty much their favorite. Goals galore in the city-state. Last season, there were multiple matches that ended in 3-5, while other scores like 8-0, 1-10, 8-2 and even once 4-9 were seen. It's time to take advantage of this.

The Singapore Premier League is an insignificant league, with some distinct features. The number of teams and matches varies from year to year. Last year, eight teams competed and played four times against each other, bringing each team to 28 games. This season, there are nine teams playing, competing against each other three times. The record champion is Warriors FC, who have not participated since 2020.

The reigning champion from last year is Albirex Niigata, a team composed almost entirely of Japanese players. They are a satellite club of their Japanese namesake and are tactically a lot stronger than the other teams. Lion City finished second, with the help of a familiar face among PSV supporters. Maxime Lestienne is once again the top scorer for the team this season. DPPM is a team from Brunei and the usual bottom-placed team is Young Lions, which serves as Lion City's development team, with players under the age of 24. Although you would expect Lion City to win every match against them, that is not the case. For example, they drew 1-1 last April.

Now that you know a bit more about the league, why do gamblers find it so interesting? The matches are livestreamed on YouTube, attracting thousands of international viewers per free live stream. It's all about the goals. On average, it takes about 21 minutes for the first goal to be scored and frequently, more than eight goals are seen. Gamblers take advantage of this, including one of our editors. With the match between Albirex Niigata and Balestier Khalsa (6-2), he earned around 700 euros in profit.
