European Soccer Betting Odds: If you're looking for the best advice to beat the European soccer betting odds, you've certainly come to the right place. Here at Bookmaker sportsbook, we're bracing for the start of the German Bundesliga 2011-12 season, which begins on August 5. The 49th season of Germany’s Bundesliga, the country’s premier league, will kick off on August 5. The season runs through May 5, including a break for a few weeks in December and January. Borussia Dortmund is the league’s defending champion after finishing last season 23-5-6. Bayer Leverkusen finished in second, with traditional power Bayern Munich coming in third place.

Eintracht Frankfurt and FC St. Pauli were relegated to the second tier of the Bundesliga after finishing in the bottom two places last season. They have been replaced by Hertha BSC, the champion of the second tier, and runners-up FC Augsburg. There was a playoff for the final spot in the Bundesliga between 16th place finisher Borussia Monchengladbach and VfL Bochum, the third place team in 2. Bundesliga. Borussia Monchengladbach retained its spot in the top tier by winning an aggregate 2-1 outcome in the playoff.

Five teams will have new managers this year. Bayer Leverkusen replaced Jupp Heynckes with Robin Dutt. Bayern Munich picked up Heynckes to take over for Andries Jonker. SC Freiburg lost Dutt to Leverkusen, and replaced him with Marcus Sorg. 1899 Hoffenheim picked up Holger Stanislawski in place of Marco Pezzaiuoli. Lastly, Stale Solbakken has taken over for Volker Finke for 1. FC Koln.

Borussia Dortmund will try to finish with the league’s most points again, but never count out Bayern Munich, the Bundesliga’s most prestigious club, in European soccer betting.
