Football Odds & Betting Markets

Are you ready to bet on the beautiful game this season? Learn all about the betting markets, specials, odds, and options for betting on football at Betano this campaign.

The Premier League is the most prestigious domestic league in the world, watched by billions weekly. Launched in 1992 to replace the old First Division, it attracts the best players and the most action each season.

Manchester United are the most successful team in the English Premier League era, with 13 titles, thanks to their dominance under Sir Alex Ferguson.

However, Manchester City have the biggest winning margin in the competition's history, finishing 19 points ahead of their neighbours in the 2017/18 season.

Arsenal are the only team to finish an English Premier League campaign unbeaten, thanks to Arsene Wenger’s ‘Invincibles’ back in 2003/04.

Liverpool remain one of the division’s giants, ending a 30-year wait for the title with their dominant 2019/20 triumph under Jürgen Klopp. Their consistency at the top end of the table makes them a constant threat in both outright and weekly match betting.

You can bet on all English Premier League matches throughout the season at Betano. You can also back the team you think will win the trophy via our EPL outright markets, including options for top goal-scorer and Champions League qualification.

If the English Premier League is the most prestigious domestic league on the planet, the Champions League is the number one club competition, and the European elite teams compete in it each season.

Formerly the European Cup, Spanish giants Real Madrid are the most successful team in UEFA Champions League history, winning the grand old trophy 15 times. Liverpool are the most successful British team in the competition, with six titles.

Legendary forward Cristiano Ronaldo holds the record for most UCL appearances, with 181. The Portuguese player is also the top scorer in Champions League history, with an incredible 141 goals.

The UCL changed its format at the start of the 2024/25 season. This year, all teams compete in a league, followed by a knockout phase, replacing the group-stage format of previous years.

You can bet on all UEFA Champions League matches at Betano. Alternatively, back the team you think will make it out of the league phase or win the competition via our outright Champions League markets.

Betano is the official sponsor of the UEFA Europa League™️ & UEFA Conference League™️, and we’re excited to offer plenty of markets for these top-drawer competitions.

The Europa League replaced the UEFA Cup in 2009, but the competition dates back to 1971. Serial winners Sevilla are the most successful team in the competition’s history, with seven wins.

In the 2024/25 final, Tottenham Hotspur became the first English team to win the competition since Chelsea in 2018/19. It wasn’t enough to save Ange Postecoglou, who was sacked weeks later.

You can pick your winner of this season’s tournament via our Europa League outright market.

The Conference League is Europe’s newest competition, formed in 2021 as Europe’s third-tier league. Jose Mourinho’s Roma won the first Conference League, while West Ham United won it in 2022-23.

Chelsea became the second English team to win the UEFA Conference League, beating Real Betis 4-1 in the 2024/25 final in Poland. They played a second-string team throughout most of the tournament, highlighting their superiority over all other teams in the competition. You can back your winner of the UEFA Conference League outright at Betano.

While most UK football fans are drawn to the glamour of the EPL, you can also bet on the rest of the teams in the British football pyramid.

We offer outright markets for the Championship, League One, and EFL Cup, covering all bases and enabling you to pick the winner of each domestic competition in England.

The FA Cup is the world’s oldest football competition, and so many football fans want their teams to win it.

Arsenal are the most decorated team in FA Cup history, with 14 trophies in their cabinet. Crystal Palace are the current holders after winning their first FA Cup in 2024/25. Pick your 2025/26 FA Cup winner at Betano.

You can also see the best leagues in Europe at Betano. We offer unbeatable odds and extensive markets for the FIFA World Cup, La Liga, Serie A, the Bundesliga, Ligue 1, and the Eredivisie, including outright and match betting options throughout the season.

Due to the manager merry-go-round that is modern-day football, you can bet on which managers will lose their jobs in the coming weeks or where a specific manager will turn up. Check out the speculation and options on our manager betting page.

We also offer markets for all significant transfers at Betano, including which players will likely sign for which clubs and whether a club will sell a player in a specific window. Check for our current transfer betting specials here.

So, now that you know the best leagues to bet on, what are the best football betting options at Betano?

Match Betting (90 mins) 1x2

The easiest way to bet on football is to pick the winner of a match over 90 minutes, often known as a 1x2 bet. You can bet on the home win, draw, or away win.

For instance, if Nottingham Forest are 4/1 to defeat Aston Villa in the EPL and you back them with a £10 stake, you will win £40 if Forest win the match.

Match Result & Both Teams to Score (90 mins)

Here, you’re betting on the team to win, plus both teams to score in 90 minutes. So, in a match between Borussia Dortmund and Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga, you could back Dortmund to win and both teams to score at 2/1.

If the match finishes 3-1 in favour of Dortmund, you would win your wager. However, you will lose your bet if they keep a clean sheet and Bremen fail to score.

BTTS

One of Betano's most popular markets is for both teams to score. You don’t need to worry about who wins the match; simply bet on both teams to score.

So, in an upcoming Old Firm match between Rangers and Celtic, you might place a BTTS wager rather than picking a winner. If both teams score during the 90 minutes, you will win your bet, regardless of which team wins the match.

Total Goals Over/Under

In a totals bet, you wager on the number of goals you think will be scored in a match, over or under the line set by Betano. For instance, if the totals line is set at 2.5 for a game between Manchester United and Bournemouth in an EPL match, you could bet on over 2.5 goals being scored at 2/1.

A £10 wager will return £20 if at least three goals are scored, so a 2-2 draw would be an excellent result for your over bet.

Correct Score

A correct score wager at Betano is where you bet on the final result. You need to bet on the team to win, plus the actual score, making this a tricky bet to get right. Still, you can access much better odds with this market.

For example, you could bet on Barcelona beating Real Betis 4-1 in a La Liga match with odds of 18/1. If you predict the correct score, a £1 stake would return £18 in profit.

Half-Time / Full-Time

Here, you bet on the team you think will win the first half and the team you think will win the second. So, in a Europa League match between Lyon and Malmo, you could bet on the draw in the first half and Lyon to win the second.

First Goalscorer

Do you have a hunch about who will score first in a specific game? If so, you can back the first goal scorer in any football match at Betano.

For example, you could back Anthony Elanga to score the first goal in any of Newcastle United’s Champions League matches at 3/1. If Elanga bags the first of the match, your £10 stake will return £30 in profit.

Double Chance

In a double chance wager, you essentially bet on two outcomes. For example, you could bet on Ajax winning or drawing in an Eredivisie match against PSV rather than simply betting on them winning.

Draw No Bet

Most football matches can end in a draw (excluding knockout competitions), so you can take it out of the equation with a draw-no-bet wager. As it suggests, you can only bet on either team to win. If the match ends in a draw, your stake will be returned.

To Win To Nil

Finally, bet on a team to win to nil at Betano. As the name suggests, this is a bet on a team to win without conceding a goal. For instance, you could back AC Milan to keep a clean sheet in a Serie A match against Lazio.

Rather than betting on a football match before kick-off, you can wait until the action gets underway, thanks to live betting options at Betano.

The live markets are similar to the pre-match markets, but the main difference is that the odds change in real-time, depending on what’s happening on the pitch.

So, for example, if a team falls one goal behind, their odds of winning will lengthen. If this team is the favourite, betting on them after they go a goal behind would be an excellent way to capitalise on their better odds, which is one of the main benefits of live betting.

Bet builders are exceptionally popular with modern-day football fans, giving you complete control of your betting slip. Moreover, if you research and analyse form, trends, and performance, you can find incredible value by placing football bet builders.

For instance, you can bet on how many yellow cards a team will pick up if they’re undisciplined or the total number of corners one team will be awarded.

The beauty of a bet builder is that you can bring these selections together into a single wager to improve your odds. Below are the most popular football bet builder odds available at Betano:

• Player shots on target
• Player shots
• Result
• Total goals
• Both teams to score
• Total corners
• Total cards
• Home team cards
• Away team cards
• Both teams to be carded

As fun as bet builders can be, they might seem daunting if you’re not an experienced football bettor. To help you, we offer pre-built bet builders for many football matches, allowing you to pick a bet builder based on the odds.

Our pre-built builders include many options above, including shots on target, both teams to score, and the final result. Below are the odds ranges you can pick from:

• <5/1
• 5/1 – 10/1
• 10/1 – 33/1
• >33/1
