2011/12 Premier League Handicap Results

For the past year or so, I've looked at how the handicap league table ends up once the season is over.

This league table is made up of the points each team has earned throughout the season along with the additional points that the bookmakers give them at the start of the campaign.

The winning team of this year's Premier League handicap table were Newcastle United. The Magpies had an incredible season making sixty-five points in the Premiership. The bookies gave them a thirty-seven point head start giving them 102 points in total.

The actual Premier League champions, Manchester City, came in second with ninety-five points which included a six point head start.

My tip for the season were Norwich. The Canaries were given forty-five points before a ball was kicked. Swansea, who were just below them in the odds sheet with a forty-four point advantage finished in fourth place.

Below is a copy of the table I created.
