Types of Premier League Bets

When you bet on Premier League matches, you’ll find a wide range of betting markets designed for both casual and experienced bettors.

Match Result (1X2)

• Home win (1)
• Draw (X)
• Away win (2)
  This is the most straightforward market and often the starting point for new bettors, it covers the result of the match. Sportingbet offers the 2Up feature for match result bets, giving you the win as soon as your team goes two goals up.

Over/Under Goals

Bet on whether the total number of goals scored will be over or under a set line (e.g. 2.5 goals). Ideal for attacking or defensive matchups.

Both Teams to Score (BTTS)

This market focuses on whether both teams score at least one goal during the match, regardless of the final result.

Handicap Betting

This adds a virtual goal advantage or deficit. This is useful when backing strong favourites or underdogs.

Player Props

Bet on individual performances, including:

• First goalscorer
• Anytime goalscorer
• Shots on target
• Assists

Player markets are especially popular in high-profile fixtures.

Premier League Betting Tips and Strategy

Successful English Premier League betting tips rely on preparation and discipline rather than instinct alone.

Analyse team form

Look at recent results, goal trends, and performances home vs away.

Check head-to-head records

Some teams consistently outperform specific opponents, regardless of league position.

Monitor injuries and suspensions

Missing key players can dramatically impact EPL odds. For example, if a leading striker is ruled out on matchday, goal markets and match odds often shift.

Consider home-field advantage

Crowd intensity, travel fatigue, and derby atmospheres frequently influence outcomes.

Manage your bankroll

Set staking limits, avoid chasing losses, and treat Premier League betting as a long-term activity.
