While the majority of betting customers like to bet on the outcome of football matches, others prefer to take a long-term view and they will place antepost wagers where their online bet can last for several weeks, months or even years.
Antepost betting can be tremendous fun and the good news is that even if you don’t back a winner, you can still get tremendous entertainment for your money compared to a football match bet where the outcome is decided in a much shorter space of time.
Antepost football betting generally involves placing a long-term wager such as the winner of the English Premier League. Punters can bet on the outcome of the EPL title before a ball has even been kicked and the Premier League winner betting market then stays open during the course of the season.
For example, you might fancy Chelsea to win the title and back them at 5/1 before the season starts. You can then cheer on the Blues throughout the season and you will get a nice return should they end up being crowned champions. Reviewing reputable news and football tips websites such as WhatAcca.com are highly recommended. They increase your knowledge and can provide insider knowledge of teams performances, injuries etc.
In the US there are alternative sports news and tipster websites such as BParlay.com, who offer NFL, NBA and other sporting insights.
In addition to betting on the winner of the different football leagues, another antepost betting market is Top Goalscorer where you can bet on the player that is going to score the most goals in a certain competition. There is generally the chance to place each-way bets on this market and that means getting a nice return if the player hits the frame.
The relegation betting market is also exciting and you can often profit with more than one selection considering that at least three teams are usually relegated from a football division, with some bookies offering punters the chance to predict the three teams who are going to suffer the drop.
In the vast majority of football divisions, there are usually just a handful of teams who are on the shortlist to go down, with punters able to make a prediction when it comes to which clubs will be the weakest. Sometimes it’s the sides who have just claimed promotion from a lower division that end up getting relegated.
When a major international tournament comes around, there is the opportunity to bet on the European Championship or World Cup and there are lots of different antepost betting opportunities such as backing England to win the competition.
Indeed, many punters like to predict the winner of a big international tournament such as the World Cup, while there is also the chance to punt on the Golden Boot winner along with the winner of each different group.
It’s not uncommon to find customers placing antepost football accumulator bets where punters will pick out various teams to win their group or a tournament and the good thing about this is that the odds all multiply together and there’s the chance to get a nice return from a big bet.
We’re always keen to find the biggest football matches taking place all over the world, with Spanish La Liga regarded by many as the most competitive division on the planet and it’s clear that players all over the world dream of the chance of representing either Barcelona or Real Madrid, with these two clubs often attracting the leading players in the Premier League.
Throughout the years, football news websites such as Football 24-7 have reported on players such as Gareth Bale, Cristiano Ronaldo, Luis Suarez, David Beckham, Philippe Coutinho, Thierry Henry and Michael Owen head to either the Bernabeu and Nou Camp in search of that high-profile move, with Real Madrid and Barcelona also clashing in El Clasico which is probably the biggest derby in the world.
The Spanish La Liga is far from a two-club division considering that Athletico Madrid were crowned champions at the end of the 2020/21 season and the Mattress Makers have regularly been a fly in the ointment when it has come to clashing with the top two sides in Spain, especially since Diego Simeone took charge and made Athletico into genuine Spanish La Liga challengers.
Other popular teams in Spain include Sevilla, Valencia, Getafe and Villarreal, the latter of whom claimed a triumph in the 2021 Europa League final when beating Manchester United, with the Spanish La Liga rightly being popular in terms of pre-match and In-Play betting.
