With the crop of Premier League teams in action with Club Friendly matches at the moment, it is a good time to start preparing for the new season of football betting. Sports betting online continues to increase in popularity, and one of the primary steps along the path to finding an online bookmaker is to dock into the betting portal that is Bet365. So, we will head over there and take a look at just what you can find on offer in terms of football betting for the new 2010/11 Premier League season, at one of the most highly recommended and trusted bookmakers on the internet. As soon as you land on the Bet365 sports book page you are greeted with the extensive list of Live In-play soccer betting opportunities, and a simple click on any of the matches will take you a new page full of In-Play betting markets such as Full Time Results, Next Goal, Match Goals and even Asian Handicap In-Play. The world of football betting is vast, but Bet365 expertly brings the world right into your home.
The Bet365 sports book is driven by a left hand menu and you just have to scroll down a little to find the all encompassing name of Soccer to find your football betting. Click on that and then you have at your hands, further options of which country you want to visit, and of course the UK is at the top of the list, with the separate leagues (and cups) expanded. As this is a look at Premier League football betting with Bet365 let’s take a look at the opening day fixtures and hopefully spot some bargains. When you go looking for the best football odds on a Saturday afternoon, Bet365 predominantly comes up trumps, and that is thanks to the weight which they carry in the online betting industry. Being a Chelsea fan, I want to see how my beloved Stamford Bridge outfit are expected to get on in their opening fixture against West Brom. First thing you will notice is the red speaker button next to each game, and that is Bet365’s Live Audio available for In-Play betting. Listed across from each selection is also an expansion button with the number of available submarkets on a match, along with a button to see stats pertaining to game.
Chelsea v West Brom. You either click a direct price (a home, draw or win option) which will go straight to your betting slip, or you can go a little more in depth with your Barclays Premier League betting with Bet365 and open those extra sub-markets. That is what we shall do. Here you are presented with a wealth of options for your match betting, such as the big Correct Score market. Chelsea are 5/1 at Bet365 to run out comfortable 2-0 winners to start the defence of their Premier League title. Taking a look at the stats section for the match, you can instantly see that Chelsea haven’t conceded a goal against West Brom the last four times they have met in the league, scoring seven unanswered goals in the process. That almost averages around two goals per match against the Baggies, so you can base your Correct Score option on that. One other personal favourite mode of football betting is Asian Handicap, which Bet365 is a great exponent of. Again, just go into the submarkets for a match and you are presented with the most likely suggestions, or you can go and look at the full range of alternative Asian Handicap odds. A West Brom +2 Asian Handicap is decently priced at 1.80 decimal odds.
The word which comes to mind when looking at Premier League football betting with Bet365 is “comprehensive”. The broader spectrum of Outright betting on Ante post (early betting prior to an event) markets are well covered, and Chelsea are 6/4 favourites to win the Premier League again. Manchester United are in hot pursuit at 5/2, while big spending neighbours Manchester City are third favourites to lift the title priced at 5/1. With other markets such as Bottom at Christmas, To Finish in Top 6, Next Permanent Manager, Leading Goalscorer and Not To Be Relegated to name but a few, it is well worth spending some time on the Bet365 site and lining up your football betting and planning your betting strategies for the new season. With so much on offer, you are in no way shape or form limited. Everything is right there in one place at the click of a button, and if you want more for your football betting, then Bet365 deliver.
One great football betting offer at Bet365 is their 100% Euro Soccer Bonus Accumulator. If you enjoy building large bets, then this is the pace to go. Not only are the Barclays Premier League matches in force for this, but so too, Serie A, Primera Liga, the Bundesliga and the Champions League. This offer means that if you land an accumulator of 3 or more selections from those above leagues, then you will receive a bonus on top of your winnings. Landing a treble gives you a 5% bonus for example, with a 5-fold accumulator lands a 1-0% bonus (which can really add up nicely). At the top end of this, and something everyone doing football betting would dream of, is the 14-fold accumulator for which you would get a 100% bonus for. There is also the Bore Draw Money Back promotion from Bet365 which covers any match upon which a pre-match (not live in-play betting) Correct Score, Half-Time/Full-Time or Scorecast bet has been made. If the game peters out to a boring 0-0 draw, then you will get your stake refunded from the online bookmaker. Bet365 also pay out 1/3 odds on each-way First Goalscorer bets, so as long as your nomination hits the back of the net at any point during the game, even if he’s not first, you will have some coverage of 1/3 odds. With the streaming of live matches via their website to add extra excitement to live in-play betting, Bet365 really has your football betting well covered. To top it all off is the welcome bonus which the online bookmaker has to offer. They will match your deposit up to the value of £200 bonus when you open a new account. The minimum first deposit is just £10, so whatever the denomination of your initial betting funds, Bet365 will generously match it. There is of course a lot more to Bet365 which has a vast sports book, games and casino, but if you are looking for a place to start ahead of the 2010/11 Barclays Premier League, football betting at Bet365 is a great experience.
