Best UK Football Bets

When looking at betting markets for the top matches in the United Kingdom, there are a number of markets that should be considered for betting. UK football accumulators are the most popular bets, as the 3pm blackout means that hundreds of games across England are played at the same time.

Accas tend to come in multiple ways. The standard 'to win' accumulator allows players to place a bet on several teams to win their match. Another popular betting market is the BTTS betting market, where bettors can place up to 20 different games on an accumulator.

Today's Football Betting Odds

We acknowledge that most of the time when football fans want to place a bet on football, there is often an immediacy to the market.

So, our sportsbook is designed to show the top upcoming fixtures across top football leagues. There is a selection of popular leagues at the top of this page with a list of leagues sorted by location underneath. However, if you're looking for football odds for today's action, check out the options at the top of the page, which are 'live now' and 'starting soon'.

This is how you can find today's betting odds. ‘Live now’ will send you to the in-play betting options where games that are underway will show up with the live betting markets.

However, if you look into the 'starting soon' section, you will have the option of checking betting markets for all events - not just football that are happening within certain time periods.

Bet Outright on Football Leagues and Tournaments

If you're looking to place a football bet, you'll likely be looking at either individual matches or a full league or tournament.

At BetUK, you can bet on the top football competitions outright.

Outright betting offers competitive odds for the main aspects of a tournament and how a tournament works will determine how the odds work for that event.

Outright odds can disappear when the event is live, as the odds are determined based on a game's result. The odds will be adjusted after the result is confirmed.

Browse outright betting options for popular leagues, as well as cup competitions such as the FA Cup.

Football Betting Specials

The latest odds in football betting aren't limited to outright winner bets and a match outcome but they even go as in-depth to cover betting markets involving transfers, manager sackings and award ceremonies!

The most popular of our specials come in the form of manager betting, where players can potentially win money by backing which team is most likely to sack their manager.

At BetUK, we have dedicated markets to the Premier League sack race and who the next manager of that team will be.

During English football's off-season, betting on football can be limited if international tournaments aren't taking place, but this is where transfer betting becomes popular as you can place bets on players leaving their clubs to move elsewhere.

The last set of specials that players can bet on are awards. This includes the likes of ‘Player of the Year’ or the Ballon d'Or. Those markets are often available months before the awards themselves.

FAQs for Football Betting

To place a bet on football, you must first have an account registered at a licenced sportsbook such as BetUK. Following this, you must deposit money into your account, this can be done using a wide range of methods. Then you must head to our online sportsbook and decide which game you would like to bet on. It is likely that you'll already have a set of games in mind, so select the game you wish to place a bet on, browse the betting markets and select the bet you wish to add.

Once all of the selections you wish to add are in your bet slip, add a cash value into your bet slip and press place bet to put your bet on.

Unless your bet specifies, it will not include extra time/penalties. For example, if you place a bet on the League Cup third round and back a team to win. That bet will be within 90 minutes, so if a team scores the winning goal in extra time, the bet will lose. Meanwhile, if the bet says: 'team to qualify' - that bet will include extra time and penalties as long as that team wins.

Another example of how this comes from the correct score betting market, if you place a 0-0 bet on a game and it finishes 1-0 thanks to a goal in extra-time, that would be a winning bet as the score was 0-0 after 90 minutes.

Here at BetUK, we have a wide range of betting tips available to players, whether it's from our ambassadors in our expert betting tips or from our knowledgeable writers in our football betting tips. You'll be able to find betting tips for a wide range of events, so keep your eyes peeled on our blogs before an event and see what we're backing for your favourite teams.

'BTTS' is the Both Teams to Score betting market and is one of the most popular betting markets in football. Popular for leagues such as the German Bundesliga which is known for hosting a number of high-scoring matches but less so for Italy's Serie A or Spain's La Liga where games tend to be more technical or tactical battles.

Absolutely! From the first game of pre-season to the last, you'll be able to follow the progress of your favourite teams as they prepare for the new season. UK bettors will find our pre-season betting markets in the friendlies tab on our sportsbook. Sometimes, because teams aren't likely to play their strongest XI's, you may even find enhanced odds for matches where the outcome seems more or less likely than usual - similar to the FA Cup.
