Football Betting at Puntit Ireland

Football, undoubtedly, has the biggest global following and is covered in abundance in all the sportsbooks you can find online. There are dozens, if not hundreds, of leagues, tournaments, and competitions from all over the world that interested punters can include in their bet slips.

Football betting at Puntit offers a first-class experience because we not only offer numerous leagues for you to review, but we also have competitive odds, various betting markets, and the option to make in-play bets as events unfold.

Football Odds

When you open our sports betting section, you will notice that we have separate odds for each event and betting market. These odds indicate the likelihood of an event occurring.

Let's take a match between Liverpool and Arsenal, which would be considered a serious betting opportunity because of the sheer competitiveness of these teams. In such an event, we would offer Moneyline odds for Liverpool to win, Arsenal to win, or for the match to end in a tie. The lower odds tell you that the event is more likely to happen. If the odds are high, the event is not that likely to happen, but if it does, you can get a hefty payout.

Remember, our sportsbook offers some of the most competitive football betting odds, which means you can get great value for your bets regardless of whether you are betting on the favourite or the underdog.

How Do Football Odds Work?

When you bet on football for the first time, you will notice that the Puntit website gives you the option to select your preferred football betting odds format (fractional, decimal, American, etc.).

Remember the example we gave you above? Let's say you've chosen the fractional format, and the odds are 4/1 for Liverpool to win over Arsenal. This means that if you make a €1 bet on this market, you can receive €4 in addition to your bet if the event occurs.

Top Football Betting Markets at Puntit Ireland

When we developed our football lobby, we included as many betting markets as possible. Here are the most popular ones:

  • Moneyline: Betting on the team to win a single match.
  • Over/Under: Predicting if the total points of a match will be over or under a predetermined value.
  • Handicap: Gives the favourite team a disadvantage (i.e., -1) and the underdogs an advantage (i.e., +1).
  • Parlay: Also known as an Accumulator bet, where you can add multiple bets to your betslip.
  • Futures (Outright): Placing a bet on the outcome of the entire league (i.e., league winner).

These bets are available not only when you bet on matches that have yet to start but also when you bet on matches that are underway. If you are interested in the latter option, we suggest reviewing our in-play betting section, which receives regular odds updates and allows you to place significant bets as the game unfolds.

What are the Top Football Competitions to Bet On?

Football offers the most versatility when it comes to betting. We've included not only some domestic leagues and tournaments but matchups from all over the world. For now, let's focus on our top football competitions from Ireland:

Bet on the Premier League

The Premier League is one of the favourite leagues worldwide. It features 20 teams that compete for the title of league winner each year. The season starts in August and lasts until May, with each team playing around 38 matches.

The Championship Betting

The Championship is the second-tier league in English football, featuring 24 teams from England and Wales. This is also a competitive league, as the teams with the three best records get promoted to the Premier League. Two teams are automatically decided based on performance, while the third team is decided through a playoff round that includes teams in positions 3 to 6.

Tips and Strategies to Bet on Football

We have a few football betting strategies that we want you to keep in mind, not only when betting at Puntit but in general. Here's how you can stay safe but still have a successful betting experience:

  1. Do your research on the events you want to include on your betslip. That includes checking the matchup details, any coaching changes, injury reports, and how these two teams have played against each other in the past. This will help you make more educated bets.
  2. Check the odds right before you submit your betslip. These will tell you the underdogs and favourites and help you check the potential payout for your bets.
  3. Set a comfortable betting budget and avoid going over it. Even if you suspect that one more betslip is what you need to get the big win, we recommend sticking within the lines you've defined for yourself upfront.
  4. Avoid emotional bets because they can lead to unnecessary losses. Always bet with your head, even if your heart tells you otherwise.
