How to Bet on Football Online – the Basics<\/h2>\n

Placing a bet on football games online is extremely easy. To bet on football games online, you just sign up for an account at a safe and secure betting site that has a valid UKGC licence. Once you have your account up and running, fund it by adding a debit card or eWallet, and then find the event you want to bet on. Click on the odds of the specific wager you are interested in to add it to your betslip, set your stake and hit ‘place bet’ – that really is all there is to it!<\/p>\n\"Three\n

Most UK punters looking to bet on football online often aim to select winning teams. This approach is commonly referred to as ‘1X2’. Originating from traditional football pools<\/a>, ‘1’ denotes a ‘home win’, ‘X’ signifies a draw, and ‘2’ represents an ‘away win’. However, this is just one of many ways to place a football bet. Stay tuned as we delve into the diverse betting options available to you.<\/p>\n

How to Place a Bet on Football Online<\/h2>\n

As an example, we are going to place a BTTS bet<\/a> (both teams to score) on a Euro U21 match, the Czech Republic v England. We are going to be using bet365 to place our bet.<\/p>\n

Once we have logged on to our account, we hunted through the football options until we found the game we were interested in. The ‘1X2’ odds can be seen below:<\/p>\n\"Example\n

As the odds for an England win (we think is what will happen) are so tight, we decide to go for BTTS yes instead as we think England will fail to keep a clean sheet. We click on the information as shown above and scroll down until we find the BTTS odds, as shown below.<\/p>\n\"Example\n

There are two options – BTTS to score yes, and BTTS to score no. Let’s go for BTTS yes. We click on the odds to put them on our betslip.<\/p>\n\"Example\n

The final step is to set our stake. This will be \u00a35, as shown. All we need to do now is click ‘Place Bet’ and that is it, our bet is placed! This example is tailored to bet365<\/a>, but the principle is the same at most UK betting sites.<\/p>\n
