If you enjoy having a flutter and would like the chance to win big, there are plenty of sports to choose from which can offer excitement and large jackpots to the winners. Premiership football is one of the more popular sports for having a bet on, as many people find it more enjoyable and accessible to watch than, for instance, horse racing or greyhounds. If you have not tried premiership betting before then the types of bets you can place and predictions you can make can be a little confusing at first, so here is an outline to help you get started.
The most common football bet is a full time result bet. This is simply predicting which team will win a given game after 90 minutes of play. You can bet on one or other of the competing teams to win, or you can bet on a draw. The odds can be low, but there is a good chance of predicting a winner, particularly if you know your football teams. This type of bet can be extended with a double chance. If you are confident that one of the teams will not lose but think they may draw, then this is a good option as you will win your bet if they win or draw and only lose if the other team wins.
The next most popular type of bet is a correct score bet, an option which can see you playing very high odds but having a low chance of making a correct prediction. As an example, if Manchester United were playing Chelsea you could predict Manchester win 2 - 1. You win your bet if that is the correct score, but any other score loses even if you picked the correct team to win.
Another popular type of bet is the half time/full time bet, where you pick who will be leading at the 45 minute mark and then who will win overall. If Arsenal were playing Tottenham, you could bet that Tottenham would be leading by half time, but that Arsenal would be the overall winners. If any part of this prediction is incorrect then the bet is lost.
You can also choose to be on the goalscorer for the match and can improve the odds by specifying when they will score. For example, if you bet Michael Owen would score in a game, your odds of `anytime` would be lower than predicting he will score the `first` goal or `last` goal, but obviously the chances of being correct are lowered.
There are a number of other bets up for grabs, such as betting how many goals will be scored in total, how many corners will be taken or you can predict many facets of the game in an accumulator, which can win you big if you get every part right. Having a bet on premiership matches can make for an exciting day watching live football at home or in the pub and who knows, make good picks and you could finish the day much better off than you started.
