Premier League Betting

Since the Premier League campaign runs for most of the year, it’s important to have an effective betting strategy. The right strategy can help you manage your bankroll effectively and increase your chances of turning a profit over a longer period of time.

Here are some of the best Premier League betting strategies:

• Playing double chance on the underdog – If you think that a favourite might struggle to get a result in a game, then backing the underdog in the double chance market could be the prudent bet. Double chance offers the ability to either back a home win or draw, an away win or draw, or a home or away win. You should note that odds will be lower with this market, as you’re effectively covering more outcomes in the game.
• Hedging your bets – Backing a selection pre-match provides the opportunity to hedge your bets. You can do this by following the action in the live betting portal. What you’re looking for is the chance to cover the opposite of what you bet on originally in order to secure a profit. For example, if you back a home win, you want to back the away team or draw in the double chance market once the odds reach a point to secure your profit regardless of what happens.
• Backing over total goals market – The saying ‘goals win games’ will always be true and backing overs can be a profitable Premier League betting strategy. Accumulating multiple over 1.5 goal bets can offer decent odds at pretty limited risk, while over 2.5 goals offers more competitive odds with slightly greater risk. The great thing about overs markets is that you’re always in with a chance of winning right up to the final whistle.
• Utilise cash out – If you’ve managed to find some decent value on a straight-up match result bet, an early payout can make it even better. Some new bookmakers offer early payout on match result bets when the team you’ve chosen takes a two-goal lead in the game. This can be handy when backing a favourite away from home.
• Keep accumulator stakes low – Accumulators are probably the most popular type of Premier League bet. With 10 games each week, it’s a great opportunity to try and predict all of the results and, in turn, get a huge price from the bookies. The mistake punters tend to make is staking too much on these bets. The odds are huge for a reason – it’s very unlikely to happen. So keep your stakes low – you’ll still win a tidy sum if your acca does come in.
• Backing favourites to come from behind in-play – Premier League betting odds can be more favourable when a favourite is losing a game. Rather than backing a favourite at odds of 1/4, try waiting to see if they concede first. You’ll find that the odds on the favourite to win the game then become much more favourable (perhaps 4/6 or higher). We wouldn’t recommend placing this live bet after the 70-minute mark.
• Increasing stakes when you win – An easy and effective staking strategy could be to increase your stakes when you win. The Martingale Strategy is often referred to as the most popular, however that carries too much risk as it involves increasing stakes when you lose. By betting more when you win, you’re betting with the bookmaker’s money, rather than your own.
