I have been in this industry for years and I have had my share of good and bad experiences. To save you time, I have listed everything that you would ever need to know about many major sportsbook brands, so you can easily make up your mind on which to go with. In addition, I will give you recommendations depending on your location, betting experience, type of football events you bet on and so on.
For new punters, or people interested in a large number of events, including but not limited to UEFA Champions League, Europa League, Euro Cups, World Cups, All European Country Leagues and much much more, I would recommend Bet365.com. This sportsbook will offer you great odds, many live streaming events to choose from, and tons of bets per match. Read the their review below. Recommended for UK & Worldwide players.
If you are a punter that likes to back underdogs, and/or go with Half-Time/Full-Time bets, Victor Chandler is your choice. Their odds are one of the highest on the football betting market. In addition, if you are fan of the Full Cover Bets or multiple bets, you would love the minimum stake amount of 0.05£. This is one of the lowest, if not the lowest, minimum stake amount I have ever seen. Recommended for UK & Worldwide players. Read their review below.
For punters located in Ireland or the UK, looking for Money-back promotions on regular basis, PaddyPower is highly recommended. Because most offers and events are targeting only Irish and UK residence, I’d recommend choosing them only if you are from the countries I mentioned above. Read their review below.
For players located in United States Intertops or BetOnline are your best bets, as these sportsbooks have proven to be trustworthy over the years. Both brands offer large variety of events, good sign up bonuses and high odds. Their reviews can be found below. Recommended for North American players.
This is the full list of many major football sportsbooks I am using, or have used/tried. If you are looking for “the best” brand I’d have to disappoint you. Every brand has its advantages and disadvantages. I have pointed out many if not all in my reviews, so your task of choosing one, will be extremely easy, enjoy:
