But, it’s what’s inside these categories that really counts and this is why bet365 is the online bookmaker of choice for millions of sports bettors worldwide.

bet365 Football Betting Tips

Opening the soccer menu reveals the current array of coupons containing a plethora of countries and leagues. It’s headed by the UK. bet365 has 19 leagues alone in this section ranging from the English Premier League down to the Welsh Cymru Alliance Division.

Below the UK offering, you’re presented with Europe’s four leading countries: Italy, Spain, Germany and France; with each having multiple leagues attached to them. Already, there have been more than 50 individual leagues from these countries alone and we’ve barely scratched the surface. The rest of Europe, Scandinavia, Australia, the Americas and the rest of the world are further categories. It truly is incredible how comprehensive this bookie is.

Other sports follow suit. Even without NBA and Euro League basketball, there are multiple leagues from Australia, China and the Philippines to enjoy, plus action from the special events such as the Asian Games and PBA cup.

In addition to coverage, it is market depth that separates the contenders from the pretenders. For Premier League soccer there are on average 140 betting markets, which to be fair several other online bookmakers match. Yet, it’s when you go off the beaten track that bet365 shows its might. For instance, in the Jordan Premier league, bet365 offers 67 betting markets on an average game. Compare this to a newer bookie such as 10bet that offers only 7 markets.

Checking out the odds, we tested bet365 against another giant in William Hill and a relatively new kid on the block in 888sport. The events were chosen quite randomly. Perhaps surprisingly, 888sport more than matched its esteemed rivals. Certainly, this is only a microscopic sample but it shows that bet365’s odds are not always the best in town.

Event/Betting Market	bet365	William Hill	888Sport
Championship football odds: Aston Villa vs Reading. Villa win + BTTS	3.60	3.60	3.65
Horse Racing odds: Newmarket R2. Favourite to win. Fixed odds	3.40	3.50	3.50
MLB odds: NY Yankees vs BAL Orioles. Money Line - Yankees	1.55	1.53	1.55
F1 odds: Belgian GP - Vettel win	2.37	2.50	2.30
UFC 229 odds: Khabib Nur vs Conor McGregor. McGregor to win	2.37	2.37	2.45

bet365 Website & Login

The look and feel of bet365’s web interface hasn’t changed a great deal down the years. It looks sharper these days with its crisp straight-edges compared to the rounded corners of a few years back, but the structure remains untouched. This is a testament as to how pioneering this platform truly was - and still is.

Noteworthy bet365 Features

On both mobile and desktop devices, bet365’s site is feature-rich. It is always looking forward, seeking ways to enhance the betting experience for the online punter.

bet365 Bet Builder

This is available on all soccer matches - both pre-match and in-play. The bet365 Bet Builder feature allows punters to make their own unique bet from a single soccer match. For instance, you can select: first goalscorer, over/under corners, both teams to score and match result to create one single bet with a total combined price.

bet365 Edit Bet

Another innovation from bet365 is Edit Bet. This feature allows you to add, swap, remove selections and increase the stake on unsettled bets on both pre-match and in-play markets. It also allows you to change the bet type to another applicable option. For example, if you have an unsettled treble, you can change it to three doubles.

The bet365 Edit Bet feature is available wherever Cash Out is offered. This means you can also edit unsettled bets within an accumulator even if certain selections have already been settled. The new stake of edited bets is equal to the cash out value (where applicable) not the original price taken.

bet365 Each Way Extra

This feature allows horse racing punters to increase or decrease the number of places when betting each way. If you increase the number of places the odds will drop accordingly but you have a better chance of winning. However, decrease the number of places, and you get better each way odds.

bet365 Cash Out

bet365 has offered full Cash Out for years. This is where a punter can settle their bet before the end of the event. Next Partial Cash Out was introduced, giving the punter even more control over their betting. The latest innovation is Auto Cash Out. This allows you to set parameters so if the bet reaches (or exceeds) the threshold, it automatically settles. For single bets, you can also do partial auto Cash Out.

bet365 Mobile App

In-keeping with the quality of this product, bet365 provides first-class mobile apps for iOS and Android devices. The bet365 sports app is remarkably easy to use with expand/collapse menus making it effortless to skip from pre-match to in-play betting and to hop from one sport to another.
