The Club's Principal Sponsor 188BET looks ahead to the new season

This has been a good summer for the Latics with the signing of Mauro Boselli likely to reap an immediate return.The Argentine striker hit 32 goals in 57 appearances for Estudiantes last season and will help in the scoring department.At the back as well there have been good signings with the arrival of Ronnie Stam and Antonio Alcaraz.Alcaraz' goal against Italy in the World Cup bodes well for the season ahead, while James McArthur's arrival from Hamilton is another big plus.

It might still be a little beyond optimism to suggest a top four finish at odds of 81.0 is on the cards but we should be further clear from the danger zone than the pre season relegation odds of 3.0 would suggest.

A cup run along the way would be good and the latics can be backed at 67.0 to lift the FA Cup for the first time; or at the same odds to bring the carling Cup back to the DW.

Hopefully we will see more of the In Play fireworks that saw Wigan land odds of 90.0 when coming back from 2-0 down to beat Arsenal at the end of last season.

We'll be here each week throughout the season previewing the best betting opportunities in each game of what promises to be an exciting season at the DW Stadium.Tune in next Friday for our first column of the season where we analyse the visit of new boys Blackpool.Until then, enjoy the build up.
