Many bookmakers take bets on the main European championships, such
as the Premier League, Italy’s Serie A, Spain’s La Liga, the German
Bundesliga and France’s Ligue 1. Betting on major European
competitions such as the Champions League, the continent’s number
one football competition, or the UEFA Cup can be very exciting. The
UEFA Champions League is exciting and prestigious by definition and
between the qualifiers in August and the May final the competition
holds no end of betting opportunities. Ante post bets on who will
win the competition or go through to the next round are particularly
enthralling.
In addition, widespread television coverage of football matches
enables many bookmakers to offer live bets and allows punters to bet
while following the match. As well as traditional bets, bets can be
placed on football using more specific variants such as under/over,
goal/no goal, next goal, first half result and first goalscorer.
There are even bookmakers that offer odds on anything and
everything, including the total number of corners during the match!
