Arsenal - underrated by the bookies or a false dawn?

It's amazing what a few goals can do. Little more than 24 hours ago you could get 17.0 (16/1) on Arsenal to win this year's Premier League. One clincal 6-1 demolition of Everton later and the best price on offer right now is 9.50 (17/2), at world leaders Pinnacle Sports.

Of course if you're an Arsenal fan, or even a casual observer who was awestruck by their magnificant performance at Goodison, this may still seem to you like a very sound investment compared with 3.50 (5/2) - Pinnacle again - on Manchester United, who struggled to beat newcomers Birmingham, or 3.00 (2/1) at Ladbrokes on Chelsea, who managed to overcome the mighty Hull in time added on. If so I'd go for it, because another performance like yesterday's and the price will be shorter still.

If however you think it is a fickle price, this might be a good opportunity to lay at
Betfair at 7.32 (316/50). Indeed if that price is still available, you could back it at Pinnacle and lay it at Betfair and lock in a guaranteed profit today!

It's always interesting to watch the fluctuations in the prices at this early stage in the season. A bit of intuition can make you a healthy profit.
