Finding Value when Betting on Football


Today in the world of football betting there is usually better value to be had in the lower divisions than in the Premiership due to the amount of teams who come from seemingly obscure realms to take the title at big odds. Betting on football has been going through the roof for some time now, and it is now possible to bet on the top divisional goal scorer, promotion and relegation as well as the popular handicap betting and seasonal match wagers.
Many punters now believe that the real money to be made is on match betting. In the past bookmakers used to place a minimum-trebles stipulation on lower-league season-long matches, but serious money is now to be made on these wagers as these restrictions have been lifted. A tip for any punter wanting to place a bet on any of the Football League divisions is don't be frightened to take on the teams at the top of the market. It is plain to anyone that there are only five or six teams who are in any position to win the Premiership. But the further down the table you go things are much tighter.
One of the golden rules, irrespective of which division, must be to bet each-way, especially if you are doing a yankee or other seasonal multiple. The money wager is usually good enough for a fair return and it can also protect against the possibility of, for example, the agony of backing a team who have already gained promotion easing of in the final few weeks rather than pushing for the extra bonus of the trophy. Bear in mind before making any bets that the Football League divisions are more competitive than the Premiership and backing these odds-on favourites in a regular basis is a quick way to the poor house.
