The Premier League is the most watched domestic football league in the world, attracting fans from far and wide. As a result, it’s also the most bet-upon competition, with each week presenting a new closely-contested match for punters to try to call. However, many of these bettors go in without the right tools to make informed bets.
So, these are the key tools needed for anyone looking to explore the sports betting odds for the Premier League.
Understand Your Bet with a Calculator
Whenever someone places a bet or has their picks down, they’ll want to know how much their bet stands to win and what the odds are in combination. This is where the bet calculator can become a bettor’s best friend. By inputting the odds of your selections and picking the bet type, you can see how much the bet could return.
This even goes for the more complicated bet types that allow you to drop some options. Super Yankee, Goliath, Lucky 63, Trixie, or any other form of multi-stake wager can be calculated with this tool. Seeing how long your odds are on bets and the potential returns is very useful for weighing up how much you want to wager.
Get the Stats that Matter for Your Bets
For a very long time, football was bereft of anything beyond the most basic stats of appearances, goals, assists, and cards. Luckily, the sport has caught up with sports leagues in North America, and now, anyone can find all of those tasty underlying stats for players and teams that truly matter.
There are two major databases that offer very useful, in-depth stats for players and teams. The first is WhoScored.com, which uniquely also adds a rating score for each player and team based on the stats they’ve put up so far. With all forms of defensive, offensive, passing, and XG stats covered, it’s an invaluable resource.
Similarly, TheAnalyst.com gives you a different range of specialist stats that can help you to form your bets. As you can now bet on bookings, fouls, tackles, assists, goals, shots, shots on target, and more statistical areas, these databases can help you to identify the players and teams that tend to hit the lines that you’re looking to bet on.
Be Informed with the Latest News Before You Bet

Due to how stacked the English football schedule tends to be, what with the cup competitions, regular international breaks, and European competition for some, many bettors wait to get bets down. A lot can change in just a day or two, so waiting to wager, keeping up with the news, and tracking starting line-ups is crucial.
For this, your best approach is to amass some of the most reliable and news-focused RSS feeds. It’s best to avoid those that predominantly aim towards clickbait and rumour mill news. So, The Athletic’s RSS presents itself among the best, and to a slightly lesser degree, the ESPN soccer feed and the Goal RSS are also worth adding.
By incorporating these tools into your research, you’ll be better informed before you place bets on the Premier League this season.
