The Premier League has the deepest betting menu of any league. Knowing the main markets helps you bet on what you actually have a view on.
Match markets
| Market | Best when… |
|---|---|
| 1X2 | You have a clear view on the result |
| Draw No Bet / Double Chance | You want protection from a draw |
| Asian handicap | A favourite is too short to back on 1X2 |
| Over/Under goals | You have a view on how open the game will be |
| BTTS | Both attacks are firing and both defences leak |
Player markets
Anytime goalscorer is the most popular, but also look at shots on target and assists, where prices can be softer.
Stats markets
Corners and cards depend on style and referees more than on who wins. See our corners and cards guide.
