Bet on Football: Best Football Odds

Q: What does btts mean in football betting?

BTTS stands for Both Teams To Score. It’s a simple market: you win if both teams score at least one goal, regardless of the final result. BTTS is popular in leagues and matches where both sides play open, attacking football and it’s widely available across football betting sites.

Q: What is double chance in football betting?

Double chance covers two of the three possible 90-minute outcomes — for example Home or Draw, Away or Draw, or Home or Away — so it reduces risk but pays lower odds than a single-result bet. It’s a common choice for bettors wanting to protect a stake when they expect a tight game.

Q: What does each way mean in football betting?

Each-way betting is more common in outrights and tournament markets than in single matches. An each-way bet has two parts: one for the selection to win and one for it to place (e.g., finish in the top few positions). The place terms depend on the market and number of entrants; check the site for exact place fractions.

Q: What does Asian handicap mean in football betting?

Asian handicap removes the draw option and applies a goal-handicap to balance perceived differences between teams. Handicaps can be whole numbers, halves or quarters and may produce half-wins, half-losses or pushes where the stake is returned. It’s ideal for matches with a clear favourite and you want more nuanced outcome pricing.

Q: What is spread betting in football?

Spread betting is a derivatives-style market where you bet on the range of a result (e.g., total goals). Winnings (or losses) scale with the accuracy of your prediction, so unlike fixed-odds bets the payoff isn’t capped. Spread betting is higher risk and requires careful bankroll management.

Q: What is virtual football betting?

Virtual football uses software to generate simulated matches and competitions that run frequently throughout the day. Markets mirror real football — match winner, correct score, first goal — but are settled in minutes. Virtual football is a fast, continuous way to play but it’s driven by RNG software rather than real teams and form.

Football betting is huge in the UK — the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League dominate conversations, screens and matchday plans across the country — and that popularity brings a wide range of markets to choose from. From match result and correct score to first goalscorer, player bookings, number of offsides, handicaps and in-play options, there are plenty of ways to place bets and back your view of a game.

Betting on football at Unibet combines that choice with practical tools and competitive prices. As one of the longest-established online sportsbooks, Unibet offers strong football betting odds across domestic and international competitions, plus features like bet builders, accumulators, live markets and regular promotions to help you tailor stakes and chase value.

How does football odds work?

Understanding football odds is the foundation of good football betting. Odds show the price for a particular outcome and the implied probability of that outcome happening — for example, decimal odds of 3.00 imply a one-in-three chance. In football betting you’ll see odds on everything from an outright winner and the correct score to first goal and cards. Bookmakers convert those probabilities into odds and add a margin so the sportsbook can accept bets while managing risk.

When you compare odds across football betting sites you’re effectively comparing potential winnings for the same wager, so shopping around for the best price is a simple way to improve long-term returns. Knowing how odds convert into implied probability also helps you predict value — if your view of the match outcome is better than the bookmaker’s, you’ve found value.

There are so many football odds at Unibet that you won't struggle to find ones that work for you! Whether you choose to bet on Burnley v Man City in the Premier League, the UEFA Europa Conference League, or even the Tasmania Northern Championship International, you'll find enticing odds that almost seem too good to be true! You can now also bet on Virtual Football and Fifa eSports with Unibet!

Betting on International Football Competitions

At Unibet, you'll find plenty of international football competitions to bet on, from UEFA club competitions like the Scottish Premier League and the UEFA Europa League right down to niche world club competitions like the Liga de Expansion MX and the Honduran Liga Nacional.

As well as club competitions, football fans can enjoy betting on international tournaments like the Football World Championship or the Football Euros. Football fans from all over the world can enjoy betting with Unibet, since there are so many teams involved in our extensive library of international football competitions.

Champions League Betting

The Champions League is Europe's biggest club competition. Featuring the continent's best teams like Real Madrid, Man City, and Bayern Munich, this knockout tournament never fails to provide thrilling entertainment. There are plenty of opportunities for Champions League betting, so check the latest odds today!

Europa League Betting

The Europa League may be one step down from the Champions League, but the quality is still exceptional. In fact, it's only improved in recent years and will continue to provide iconic moments, extraordinary upsets, and triumphant wins for top teams and underdogs alike.

English football teams traditionally do well on the event, so it might be worth a punt on your favourite team to go all the way! Manchester United could win it again, Atlético Madrid may clinch it, or a surprise underdog might triumph - you never know with the Europa League!

Scottish Premiership Football Betting

The Scottish Premiership is one of the most exciting leagues in the world. While it can't compete with the top UEFA club competitions in terms of quality, it still throws up outrageous entertainment season after season. Scottish Premiership odds are often favourable for the seasoned bettor, as anyone who knows this league well can easily find betting success.

H2: FA Cup Final betting

The FA Cup Final is a classic market for football betting because the knockout format and giant-killing history create unique outcomes. You can bet on the outright winner, the correct score, the first goal scorer and a range of match events such as penalties or extra time. Many punters like to combine FA Cup Final selections into an accumulator with other domestic cup ties and league matches, or take a safer option such as double chance to cover two of three match outcomes

What are the Top Football Competitions to Bet on?

The most popular football competitions to bet on are undoubtedly the ones that throw up the most surprises. The more unlikely an event will happen, the higher-paying its odds will be. As such, football competitions that are famously unpredictable, such as the FA Cup, the Premier League, and the World Cup, are where hopeful punters can make their money.

It also helps to know the competition you're betting on. Popular leagues like La Liga, the Bundesliga, and the Championship are therefore prime markets for football betting. To bet safely and avoid losing, you should always ensure you have a good level of knowledge of the game or competition you're betting on.

Premier League Betting

The English Premier League is the most-watched domestic football league in the world. You can bet on a variety of markets, from in-play events like yellow and red cards to final results, score predictions, and even what will occur in a certain period of the game. For instance, your bet slip could read "Man City to win and both teams to score".

Who will win Premier League glory come the end of the season? What will happen in the first half of Chelsea vs Aston Villa? Will Crystal Palace avoid relegation? If you think you know the answers, try Premier League betting today and find incredible Premier League odds at Unibet!

Premier League Past Winners

Every year, the race is on for the best team to lift the Premier League trophy at the end of each season. Some clubs managed to do this several times and have a good track record of winning the Premier League title more than once. Here are the teams crowned Premier League Champions in the past few years, together with the Runner Up teams.

Season	Winners	Runners Up
2022/2023	Man City
2021/2022	Man City	Liverpool
2020/2021	Man City	Man Utd
2019/2020	Liverpool	Man City
2018/2019	Man City	Liverpool
2017/2018	Man City	Man Utd
2016/2017	Chelsea	Tottenham

Betting on Lower English Leagues

The lower leagues of English football, like the Championship, League 1, and League 2, are all very popular with punters. Championship betting offers both seasoned and rookie bettors a chance to earn lucrative winnings since the league is notoriously hard to predict. While that may sound bad for punters, it's also bad for the bookies, as even unlikely events with high-paying odds can come off.

You can bet on single events or use our bet builder to create multi-event bets for even bigger payouts! Combine a selection of different markets, such as first goalscorer or full-time result, to build your own personalised bet that works for you.

Making the Most of Your Football Bets

You'll find numerous football betting tips around the internet, but the main thing to remember is to bet cautiously and sensibly. Bet on games and leagues you're familiar with rather than niche competitions. To maximise your potential winnings, use a bet builder or create an accumulator to form a personalised bet that you're comfortable with. If you combine a few events with high probability but low odds, you can create a single bet with substantially better odds!

You can also utilise bonuses and promotions to ensure you get the most out of your bets. Always check for Unibet special offers that could give you free bets, bonus cash, or handy deals to maximise the effectiveness of your football bets.

What are the Best Football Betting Markets?

The best football betting markets are those that offer a degree of excitement. In-play betting is extremely fun, owing to the tension that comes with watching your team hang on to a result or try to score one last goal before the game's end. Plus, some of the in-play betting markets allow you to cash out early if you think your bet may not quite come off.

The simplest betting markets in football are based on singular events. First goalscorer, player to be carded, full-time result, over/under goals scored, and number of shots on target (to name a few) are all single betting markets that you can place a nice, simple wager on. They vary in payouts but are fairly straightforward methods of betting.

If you want something a bit more in-depth or customised, you can combine multiple betting markets. Use the Unibet bet builder to add up to 12 different betting markets in a single wager. You can pick and choose the markets you like and even combine them across different games!

If this sounds too complex for you, you can always stick to a traditional accumulator, where you bet on several different teams to win their respective games. In both cases, though, if one of your selections doesn't come off, the whole bet loses.

Check out our Bet Builder Guide and Accumulator Betting Guide for more information regarding these betting tools.

Accumulators and Asian Handicap Betting Markets

Accumulators let you combine multiple single bets (for example, match winners from La Liga, Bundesliga and the Premier League) into one larger wager. The attraction is simple: many small odds multiply into a much bigger potential payout, and that’s why accumulators are so popular on football betting sites. The downside is that all selections must win for the bet to cash.

Asian handicap markets, by contrast, are designed to level the playing field when a strong side faces a weaker opponent. Asian handicaps remove the draw from the market (in many versions) and can offer better value than traditional 1X2 markets because they balance risk and can lead to half-wins or pushes where stakes are returned. Use double chance when you want to reduce risk across two potential outcomes, or explore spread and handicap markets to predict margins rather than raw winners.
