In this section, we will be looking at the widely featured betting markets and how to bet on the EPL using them.

Match Result

This is probably the commonest option that you will find across a wide range of sportsbooks out there. It is usually the first betting market you would find on each EPL event. It is mostly presented as 1 X 2 – which are three options. If you select ‘1' this means you are predicting the home team to win the match. If you select ‘X, ‘ this means you are predicting the match would end in a Draw. If you select ‘2,' this means you are predicting the away team would win the match. This option is straightforward to decide.

Over/Under

When you check out some EPL games on most bookies, you are most likely going to find Over/Under options. It is that common. What the Over/Under option implies is the number of goals. You can find Over options ranging from Over 1.5 to Over 6.5. You can also find Under options ranging from Under 4.5 to Under 0.5. When you predict an over option, it means you are predicting that the match would end with at least a minimum of the number of goals attached to them over. So, for example, an over 1.5 bet would be valid, if there were to be a minimum of two goals.

Over Options Commonly Provided

Over 1.5 – at least 2 goals

Over 2.5 – at least 3 goals

Over 3.5 – at least 4 goals

Over 4.5 – at least 5 goals

Over 5.5 – at least 6 goals

Over 6.5 – at least 7 goals

Under Options Commonly Provided

Under 0.5 – No goal expected in the match

Under 1.5 – A minimum of 1 goal in the match

Under 2.5 – A minimum of 2 goals in total

Under 3.5 – A minimum of 3 goals in total

Under 4.5 – A minimum of 4 goals in total.

Both Teams to Score

Another very common betting market that a lot of bookies offer when betting on EPL games is the Both Teams to Score option. This option is quite straightforward, it is either a ‘Yes' or ‘No.' If you predict ‘Yes,' that means you are predicting that both teams will score in the match. If you are predicting ‘No,' that means you are predicting that both teams wouldn't score in the match. So in that case, if one team scores or both teams don't score at all, the bet is still valid. This betting option is usually advisable for an EPL game that is highly competitive.

If you check that the two teams playing have good goalscoring potentials, then they are most likely going to score against each other. Some bookies often present the Both Teams to Score option as GG/NG. It still means the same thing. GG (Goal-Goal) means both teams would score. NG (No-Goal) means both teams wouldn't score.

Anytime Goalscorer

The anytime goalscorer option is another popular option that you are highly likely to find at different sportsbooks too. In this case, what you are predicting is majorly a player that would score in a match. For example, in a match between Wolves vs Manchester United, you could find Ronaldo under the anytime goalscorer as Yes/No. If you predict Yes, that means you are predicting he will score in the match. If you predict No, it means you are predicting he wouldn't score in the match. The Goalscorer option would be provided for all the players of both teams playing.

If we are to discuss the wide range of options offered on EPL games at most bookies, we could go on and on. However, the ones discussed above are some of the top popular ones. We hope this article has been educational enough to help you understand how to bet on EPL. With the wide range of options usually offered, betting on EPL can be such a delight.

Halftime/Fulltime

This option is another very common market that you would find on most EPL games offered at different sportsbooks. Like the other options that we have discussed so far, it is also quite straightforward too. In this case, as the name implies, what you are predicting is the halftime and full-time outcome.
