The rather short wait for the new season to begin is just a matter of days if not hours away and with the transfer window slamming shut on Thursday 10th<\/sup> August, never has the start of a season sent teams into such overdrive.<\/p>\n Except for Tottenham for that is, who appears to be leisurely content with the same squad from last season to propel them to future glories (hopefully).<\/p>\n This has done little to affect the betting markets with Spurs still deemed well in the hunt for a top four spot making it a prime time to learn how to bet on sporting events using bitcoin or other crypto currencies for what could prove to be some handsome rewards.<\/p>\n First up Newcastle<\/strong><\/p>\n Due to Tottenham\u2019s new stadium still unready for use, the Premier League kindly allowed Spurs to play a number of away games prior to hosting Liverpool at the new Stadium on the 15th<\/sup> September (although Spurs do play Fulham \u2018at home\u2019 on Aug 18th<\/sup>but it will be at Wembley<\/em>).<\/p>\n A trip up North to face the Magpies is Mauricio Pochettino\u2019s first test and on paper, it looks like a generous fixture.<\/p>\n Newcastle United continue to be a club in turmoil with fans and now players against club owner Mike Ashley.<\/p>\n A dispute over player bonuses has led to Newcastle players refusing to take part in media duties and the gulf between fan, player, and owner relationship has never been more distant.<\/p>\n The Numbers<\/strong><\/p>\n According to the history books, the match is balanced on something of a knife edge which is starting to tilt in Tottenham\u2019s favour.<\/p>\n The last 12 meetings between the two in all competitions have seen the Magpies win 5 and Tottenham 7.<\/p>\n However, one thing to avoid is the draw.<\/p>\n You have to go back all the way to the 16th<\/sup> October 2011 for the last time the pair shared the spoils (that was 13 games ago).<\/em><\/p>\n For the goal scorer bet fans, since that 2011 draw, the pair have shared 39 goals in the preceding 12 games at an average of 3.25 goals per game.<\/p>\n To delve a little deeper, of the 39 goals, remarkably Tottenham have scored 25 of them, perhaps showing where the difference in quality lies between the pair.<\/p>\n Of Newcastle\u2019s 14 goals in the same period, 5 of them came at the end of the 2015\/16 season when Newcastle hammered Spurs 5-1.<\/p>\n What is telling, is that Tottenham did the double over Newcastle last season and did not concede a goal in their two encounters in the league.<\/p>\n Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n You do not need to be a rocket scientist to predict Tottenham should get the job done and a bet on the Lilywhites using bitcoin could be an astute decision –\u00a0https:\/\/www.bettinginstitute.co.uk\/how-to-bet\/bitcoin-sports-betting\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Magpies have been poor in the transfer window with forward Salomon Rondon the only acquisition of note (and barely just) and internal unrest is ripping the club apart.<\/p>\n Expect a demotivated Magpie dressing room on Saturday and a real chance for Harry Kane to once and for all break his August hoodoo and get the club\u2019s new era off to the best possible start.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The rather short wait for the new season to begin is just a matter of days if not hours away and with the transfer window […]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":1187,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[191,7],"tags":[121,185,163],"class_list":["post-1185","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-premier-league","category-tottenham-hotspur","tag-newcastle-united","tag-premier-league","tag-tottenham-hotspur"],"yoast_head":"\n
