Although the MLS or Major League Soccer has only been around since 1996, when the first MLS games were played, today everyone is fairly familiar with it.

In terms of football quality it is hardly at the level of top European leagues such as La Liga and the Premier League, nevertheless there is some excellent sport to be enjoyed, and some great betting opportunities. There are 19 teams, 16 from the US and the other from Canada, and the main season starts in March and ends in October.
This is followed by playoffs among the top ten teams which end in the MLS Cup final.

It’s a little too early to start betting on the 2013 season as we are still waiting for the bookmakers to post their prices, but it is likely that, like the rest of us, they are looking at the current implications of the draft and the super draft. There are also likely to be some new team announcements, for instance Frank Lampard is looking increasingly likely to join David Beckham’s old team and winners of the MLS cup for the last two seasons LA Galaxy. Currently all the teams are involved in pre-season training along with exhibition matches, though we anticipate that betting odds will be posted imminently.
