What it's like to bet on football at BetFred:
BetFred was established way back in 1967 by Fred and Peter Done and has amassed over 700 high street betting shops across the UK. Fred Done is also a director of the Association of British Bookmakers and so has a pretty good understanding of the betting industry as a whole, something that is reflected in the quality of the UK based bets that BetFred offer its punters.
BetFred also have a long running association with football betting having been Manchester United's official bookmaker for years as well as Wembley stadiums official gaming partner. BetFred is often referred to as 'the bonus king' due to the excellent concessions, bonuses and free football bets that it offers to its customers - which is great if you're a keen multiples player.
The first thing you notice when you visit the BetFred website is the simplicity of the design in comparison to other online bookmakers. Although everything is clearly laid out you can't help but notice that it lacks the depth of top sites like Bet365 or SportingBet. BetFred's website is pretty easy to use but the more time you spend betting on it the more you're likely to appreciate the vast array of betting tools and features that the bigger online bookmakers offer.
Having said that BetFred do focus more on UK sports more than most with excellent coverage of all the English and Scottish football leagues with European and International fixtures also available only to a lesser extent. A pleasing aspect of betting on football at BetFred is the quality of their live scores section with full time results appearing very quickly. They also offer live commentary on certain football matches, which in conjunction with their in running betting option makes it easier to judge which way games are going and what to bet on.
The range of BetFreds football bets do appear slightly limited when compared to their competitors but they do offer all the most popular bets such as single bets, correct scores as well as Asian handicaps and accumulators. As addition to football betting BetFred also allow you to play casino games, poker, bingo or the lottery in a number of different countries.
