Dave, you're in luck, we have a stats page within this site that lists all the important info you'll need to know before placing a bet.

At the moment, it's only Premiership stats, but we'll be adding more soon and expanding the Premiership stats.

Pro punters pour over various stats and facts prior to placing bets, as they know of the importance of knowing all there is to know, and then betting with the facts, as opposed to betting based on a hutch or gut feeling. One is logical and based on facts, the other is stupidity and foolish. You all know the saying a fool and his money are easily parted, right?

If there's anymore stats you want to know, just ask, and we'll be sure to add them if we think they will be of benefit.

Well, this is actually what our odds comparison service is for. By using it, you can see at a glance what bookmakers and betting exchanges are offering the best or highest odds on any football match or market.

Also, this is why it is important to sign up to all the major bookmakers, that way you can always guarantee you will then get the best odds.

Well, most would suggest you bet on a sure fire winner, that way you guarantee some kind of profit but as you would then be betting on a favorite or selection with short odds your winnings would then be relatively small, compared to what you could potentially win by betting on a selection that has longer odds.

As it's a free bet with free money, I think it is worth the risk of betting on a well researched longer shot and hoping they win.

Accumulators are probably the most popular form of football betting, as punters new and old see them as a low risk high profit way of betting.

Although they are undoubtedly a bookmaker's dream, as every Saturday without fail punters up and down the country in their hundreds of thousands put a few quid each on their football coupons, and that money is what we in the betting industry call a banker, no that's not cockney rhyming slang, that means it's a given, a sure thing, there gonna be taking your money.

Sadly the chance of you actually winning anything substantial from them is very unlikely. Yes you could only choose to bet on a few odds on favourites, and potentially win that way, although having said that the return will be miniscule at most.

Whereas, if you bet on more selections, in an effort to ramp up your potential winnings, as you throw in more and more fixtures your chances of winning become expodentially less, basically HIGHLY IMPROBABLE.

Also, there is always one team that will let you down, and ruin your whole coupon, trust me I'm talking from experience here!

In a nutshell accums are potentially the worst value bets you can have.

So the next time you think about doing one, think again! ;)

I would suggest 1st goalscorer bets, are a very good candidate for regular profits from football betting.

Although of paramount importance is the fact you ONLY bet when the bet is VALUE and higher than it should be, otherwise you will not make a profit from betting long term otherwise.

For example Rooney may be 4/1 but if he should be 5/1 even if you think he will score 1st, there is no point betting on him.

Of equal importance is you doing your research, players obviously wave in and out of form, so you have to ensure you are confident the player is on form, or playing in a match agaist a team that is vunrebel to his ability and best attributes.

The benefits of opening numerous bookmaker accounts are three fold.

1. By having access to as many bookmaker accounts as possible, you can then take advantage of the bookmaker who is offering the best or highest odds on a market selection of your choice. By having a limited amount of accounts you are restricting your potential winnings, by taking shorter odds, when you could get better odds at the bookmaker next door.

2. By opening more bookmaker accounts, you can take advantage of their free bet offers, and thus bet on various events without losing any actual money.

3. You can also benefit from the various moneyback offers and promotions bookmakers offer on a regular basis. In order to offer you a safety net even if you lose your intended bet.
