The best football league in the world starts in England this weekend. The Premier League is also the competition where the most bets are taken. Last year Fortuna took bets totalling more than 500 million crowns just in the Czech Republic; within the other countries where Fortuna has branches (Slovakia, Poland, Croatia, Hungary), bets taken exceeded 1 milliard crowns.

We accepted more than 30,000 betting slips for the top games with a value of 7 million crowns.  The highest winnings in terms of the Premier League were 1.25 million crowns for an initial stake of 60,000 crowns. 

This year, due to the growing popularity of Internet betting including Live bets and our overall expansion, we can expect even greater interest.

"In England, traditionally four teams play for the title and this year will not be any different, although Liverpool will not make it to the top this time. On the other hand, Manchester City have huge ambitions and could be potential title contenders along with Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United. However, Carlo Ancelotti and his Chelsea team are still the team to beat” commented Michal Hanák, a leading Fortuna bookmaker.
