AVAILABLE MARKETS
 
Money Line
The popular money line wager simply asks mobile bettors to select which team will win a specified match. However, unlike betting on the NFL, NHL or NBA, English Premier League bettors can pick a team to win or selecting the tie/draw option. The latter isn’t available in US sports where overtime determines the outcome of a game in the event of scores being tied after regulation time. As a result, English Premier League bettors need to remember that if they back a team to win and the end result is a draw, the mobile wager is deemed as a loss. 
 
Asian Handicap / Point Spread
This bet type can either be called the Asian handicap or point spread, depending on which mobile sportsbook the wager is being made through. Point spreads / handicaps are essentially head starts that bookmakers give to the underdog in a matchup in order to give both sides a balanced chance of winning the bet. The head start is expressed as a positive score such as +1.5, while the favourites are allocated the equivalent number in negative terms (-1.5).
 
Using this as an example, if Everton are +1.5 underdogs against Arsenal at The Emirates and either win, draw or lose by one goal, mobile bettors that backed the Toffees at the line get paid out. Conversely, had the Gunners won by two goals or more, those same bettors lose their money. In the English Premier League, this head start can range from anywhere from +0.5 in contests that are anticipated to be close, to +3.5 or more when there is a clear favourite.
 
Importantly, when the line is set at +1/-1 and either team wins by one goal, the bet is deemed no result and mobile bookmakers will return the stake without a pay out.
 
Totals / Overs/Unders
Totals wagers, often referred to as overs/unders, ask the bettor to pick the combined goals total of both teams in a match. The totals figure in the English Premier League is generally set to 2.5, asking the punter to pick whether the game will produce more or less than two goals. For contests which involve superstars such as Harry Kane and Romelu Lukaku playing for their respective teams against the likes of Huddersfield, Crystal Palace and Brighton, this figure will occasionally climb to 3.5. The bet type in itself is easy to discern, with bettors simply needing to select ‘over’ or ‘under’ on their iPhone, Samsung Galaxy or other mobile device.
 
Proposition Bets
Proposition wagers ask the bettor to predict the outcome of specific events during an English Premier League match. There are a host of proposition bets that can be made, including guessing how many combined corners there will be during the contest using the over/under method detailed above. Another popular proposition bet in mobile betting asks the punter to correctly pick which player will score the opening goal of the match, a wager that can offer great value. Anytime goalscorer wagers are also commonly sought after, and ask the bettor to allocate a player to score at any point in the game. For example, if you have backed Chelsea’s Eden Hazard to score against Southampton and the Belgian delivers, you win the bet.
 
Futures Bets
Similarly to proposition wagers, futures bets ask the mobile bettor to predict the outcome of specific events in the English Premier League. In the instance, however, it is across an entire season rather than individual match. For example, punters can back Manchester City to win the title, or bet on Alvaro Morata to become the top goalscorer for the season. You can also bet on which team will finish in the bottom three and be relegated to the Championship, or pick a player to win the PFA Player of the Year award, the English Premier League’s equivalent to the MVP.
 
ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE MOBILE BETTING STRATEGIES 
 
There are several strategies English Premier League bettors can utilise in order to gain an advantage over mobile bookmakers. Here is a rundown of some of the key factors to take into consideration when placing your bets.
 
1.Home field advantage
Numerous teams, including those at the lower end of the table, demonstrate better form when playing in front of their home fans. Whether it’s the passionate home support or a team’s playing style being more suited to specific pitch dimensions, statistics highlight that home teams in the English Premier League score considerably more goals when playing on their own turf as compared to when they are playing away. This has proven to be an annual trend.
 
Certain teams, from mid-table outfits such as Burnley to contenders like Tottenham, are particularly effective at home. As such, mobile bettors should calculate each team’s proficiency on their own turf, garnering statistics such as goals for/against, wins and draws at home to identify which sides are likely to prove hard to beat. This data can then be utilised to determine anything from Asian handicap to money line mobile wagers.
 
2.Develop your own form guide
Any betting strategy must be underpinned by good knowledge of team and player form. In football circles, this is particularly true of the English Premier League due to the busy schedule that sees each team play 38 games and complete a season without a Christmas break. This is unlike other leading leagues such as La Liga, Serie A and Bundesliga, which feature a break during the season that allows team to recoup and produce more consistent results.
 
Additionally, many English Premier League teams have Champions League and Europa League commitments, as well as domestic cup competitions. This can lead to volatile form swings among players and teams. The shrewd mobile bettor will sense a potential dip in form or upset, and bet accordingly.
 
3.Try your luck with accumulators/parlays
 
The English Premier League also boasts an established list of dominant sides that regularly contend for top honours – or at least the European places. The likes of Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Tottenham, Liverpool and Arsenal regularly feature at the top end of the table, while teams such as Everton and Southampton often linger on the cusp. The elite sides, while also subject to form swings, are generally safe bets, particularly when paying at home.
 
Granted, the odds for them winning are often short, but this provides an opportunity to put two or three of them in an accumulator/parlay bet when they are in form and playing weaker sides. It’s important not to get carried away and add excessive amounts of legs to the bet just for the sake of an odds boost. A smartly placed accumulator/parlay of two or three legs can still generate odds at around the 2.50 mark and represent a fairly safe bet. Most accumulator/parlay bets in the English Premier League will generally include one of the aforementioned top six teams.
