Premier League Odds & Betting Guide

Current Premier League fixtures and best odds

These are the best available 1X2 prices from the bookmakers we monitor for the opening matchday. Prices are decimal and change constantly — always confirm at the operator before staking.

• Arsenal v Coventry City (21 Aug): Home 1.20 (Betfair), Draw 8.20 (Betfair), Away 19.5 (Betfair)
• Hull City v Manchester United (22 Aug): Home 8.60 (Betfair), Draw 4.90 (Betfair), Away 1.46 (Betfair)
• Everton v Crystal Palace (22 Aug): Home 2.24 (Betfair), Draw 3.55 (Betfair), Away 3.55 (Betfair)
• Ipswich Town v Sunderland (22 Aug): Home 2.82 (Betfair), Draw 3.50 (BoyleSports), Away 2.78 (Betfair)
• Nottingham Forest v Leeds United (22 Aug): Home 2.38 (Betfair), Draw 3.50 (Betfair), Away 3.30 (Betfair)
• Brentford v Tottenham Hotspur (22 Aug): Home 2.54 (Betfair), Draw 3.75 (Betfair), Away 2.88 (Betfair)
• Brighton v Aston Villa (23 Aug): Home 2.32 (Betfair), Draw 3.85 (Betfair), Away 3.10 (Betfair)
• Manchester City v Bournemouth (23 Aug): Home 1.50 (Betfair), Draw 5.20 (Betfair), Away 7.00 (Coral)
• Newcastle United v Liverpool (23 Aug): Home 3.95 (Betfair), Draw 4.00 (Betfair), Away 1.97 (Betfair)
• Fulham v Chelsea (24 Aug): Home 3.60 (Betfair), Draw 4.00 (Betfair), Away 2.10 (Ladbrokes)

Notice that Betfair supplies the top price on most of these lines, but not all — BoyleSports leads the Ipswich draw, Coral the Bournemouth win and Ladbrokes the Chelsea win. That spread is exactly why price comparison matters on the Premier League.

Which bookmaker has the best Premier League betting odds?

Odds quality is measured two ways in our data: average margin (the bookmaker's built-in overround — lower is better for you) and best-price share (how often that operator held the top price across our sampled selections).

• Betfair — 4.6% average margin, 49% best-price share (278 selections sampled). The strongest football pricing we track and the reason it dominates the fixtures above.
• Coral — 5.7% margin, 27% best-price share (247 sampled).
• Ladbrokes — 5.9% margin, 20% best-price share (253 sampled).
• Unibet — 5.9% margin, 15% best-price share (250 sampled).
• BetMGM — 5.2% margin, 15% best-price share (122 sampled).

At the tighter-margin end sit BoyleSports (7.8%), Virgin Bet (8.3%) and LiveScore Bet (8.5%), which trail on headline value. bet365 rates 8.8/10 for odds and carries a 7.4% average margin in our sample, so it competes on breadth of markets rather than the sharpest single price.

Editorial view: if you consistently want the shortest overround on Premier League matches, Betfair, Coral and Ladbrokes are the group to compare first. If you value market depth and in-play tools over a fraction of a point on price, bet365 and BetMGM are stronger all-rounders.

Premier League winner and outright odds

Premier League winner odds — the title outright — sit in the ante-post section rather than on individual fixtures. The same margin logic applies: outright books tend to be wider than single-match markets, so shopping across two or three operators makes a bigger difference on a season-long title, top-four or relegation bet than on a Saturday 1X2.

For outright markets specifically, look at how deep each operator's Premier League section goes: William Hill (8.5 market coverage), bet365 (9.6) and Betfair (8.8) rate highest for the range of side markets — top goalscorer, to-finish-top-half, without a named team and similar. bet365 leads our market-coverage score for football breadth, which matters when you want more than just the title winner.

We don't publish specific title prices here because outright odds move too fast to quote reliably; check the live board via our futures pages before backing a season-long selection.

Live betting, Bet Builder and streaming for Premier League matches

Most Premier League bettors want more than a pre-match win line. Here's how the leading operators stack up on in-play and build-a-bet tools:

• Live streaming: bet365, Paddy Power, William Hill, Ladbrokes, Coral, Betfair, Unibet, LiveScore Bet and BetMGM all list live streaming. Coverage rights vary by fixture and usually require a funded account or a bet.
• Bet Builder: bet365, Betway, Paddy Power, BoyleSports, William Hill, Ladbrokes, Coral, Sky Bet, BetVictor, Betfred, Unibet, 888sport and LiveScore Bet all offer it; BetMGM lists Same Game Parlay as its equivalent. Sky Bet (8.4) and BetMGM (8.5) score highest for the Bet Builder experience.
• Live capability: bet365 (9.4) and Betfair (8.7) lead our in-play scores, useful for cashing out or trading a match as it develops.

Cash Out is available at every operator in this table, so if part-settling a Premier League bet before full time matters to you, that's not a deciding factor between them.

Safety, payments and withdrawals

Every operator listed holds a UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) licence, and the minimum betting age is 18. bet365's licence number is 39563; licence status for the others is verifiable on the UKGC public register. On our safety scoring, bet365 and William Hill (both 9.5/9.3) sit at the top, though the whole group scores 8.3 or higher.

All operators accept a £10 minimum deposit and quote withdrawal times of 0–24 hours. Payment support differs slightly:

• PayPal is widely accepted — bet365, Betway, Paddy Power, BoyleSports, William Hill, Ladbrokes, Coral, Sky Bet, Betfair, BetVictor, Betfred, Unibet, 888sport, LiveScore Bet, 10bet and BetMGM.
• Apple Pay is offered by bet365, Betway, Paddy Power, William Hill, Ladbrokes, Coral, Sky Bet, Betfair, BetVictor, Betfred, 888sport, Virgin Bet and LiveScore Bet.
• Trustly is available at bet365, Betfair and Unibet.

Choose bet365 if you want the broadest markets plus a top safety score; choose Betfair if the sharpest match price is your priority; avoid the wider-margin books for outright bets where the overround compounds.
