Top tips for football betting

1. Do your research

Try to avoid placing bets on matches and leagues that you have no idea about. Albeit you may win this way once or twice, this is not a long-term solution to successful betting. Dive into the statistics of players and clubs including recent form, how teams fare in home fixtures against away fixtures, as well as up-to-date teams news like injuries and suspension.

2. Follow tipsters on social media or other platforms

Take note from experts in the field, including us here at TSN, who have an impressive track record of making successful bets. The last 15-20 years has featured the rise of online betting experts making a name for themselves with as much, if not even more, influence as the traditional media. Keeping track of a diverse portfolio from a variety of sources will only help you to make educated, informed bets.

Another good way is to make use of online tools and tipping resources. Oddschecker+ is a great way to do that, with access to market-leading AI content and betting experts for less than £1 per day.

3. Make use of promotions and welcome offers

With more and more sports betting sites popping up, the competition to get your attention is fierce. This is where welcome offers, reload offers and promotions can make a serious impact to swaying new customer sign-ups and existing customers coming back for more.

An example could be AK Bets' tempting offer, where signing up and betting on any multiple will earn a winnings boost for new customers of up to £100 in the form of a free bet (subject to Terms & Conditions). Keep across the various online football betting platforms for the best value.

Here's our round-up of the best welcome offers right now from our selected partners.

Just remember, all offers are subject to terms and conditions, so check those carefully before you sign up to make sure you can activate the offer and any potential bonuses.

4. Bankroll management

It’s important to ensure you’re betting within your means. Bet responsibly and don’t chase your losses. Deposit limits have changed massively in the last five years, with regulations tightening to help you manage your money. But with the best football betting sites competing for your loyalty, you must ensure you’re keeping a track of your betting history and bankroll.
