English Football League Championship Betting – The Basics

There are 552 matches on which to bet during the regular English Football League Championship season, at the conclusion of which the clubs ranked first and second on the ladder earn automatic promotion to the top flight. The cut-throat play-offs that the teams occupying third, fourth, fifth and sixth positions contest determine the other outfit that will join such sides as Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United among the elite.
English Football League Championship Betting - Division One Becomes The Coca Cola Football League Championship
The Coca Cola Football League Championship became part of the soccer vocabulary in 2004 when the Football League took the controversial decision to re-brand their Coca-Cola-sponsored league competitions. Division One changed to The Football League Championship, with Division Two and Division Three becoming Football League One and Football League Two respectively. Football League Chairman Sir Brian Mawhinney said that the names are designed to raise the profile of the three tournaments, even though most fans preferred the old monikers. Adding to the confusion of the league changes is the fact that the English Football League Championship trophy is the same one that England's champion team received until the English Premier League came into existence in the summer of 1992.
