"Leeds have given themselves a chance. After 18 games and 20 points, Daniel Farke's side are not cut adrift and do not look out of place in the top flight. December reinforced that view. Leeds came through Chelsea, Liverpool, Brentford, Crystal Palace and a difficult trip to Sunderland unbeaten, taking nine points from a possible 15 over the festive period. Few pundits saw that return coming, let alone predicted Leeds would collect points across such a demanding stretch."
"Encouraging form, though, is not safety. Leeds remain around 6/1 to be relegated, a reminder of how thin the margins still are with the second half of the season to come. So, are those odds worth taking? Can Leeds avoid the drop, and if so, where can you place a bet on the Whites staying up? The first part of that answer may depend on what the 49ers Enterprises, Leeds' American owners, decide to do in January."
"As for placing a bet, relegation markets are widely available across Europe, with sportsbooks offering odds on Premier League survival throughout the season. Where you are based, however, can affect how easily those markets can be accessed. For example, in the Netherlands, one option available to fans is linked to CRUKS, the national self-exclusion register connected to Dutch-licensed bookmakers. If you are registered with CRUKS, you cannot place bets with domestic operators, even on major Premier League markets."
Leeds have 20 points from 18 Premier League games and produced an unbeaten December against Chelsea, Liverpool, Brentford, Crystal Palace and Sunderland, earning nine points from 15. That form improves survival prospects but does not guarantee safety, with betting markets still placing Leeds around 6/1 to be relegated. January owner decisions by 49ers Enterprises could affect transfer activity and outcomes. Relegation betting markets are widely available across Europe, but access varies by jurisdiction; for example, Dutch CRUKS registrations block domestic betting and push some bettors toward foreign operators described as "zonder CRUKS."
