Ultimate Guide to Betting on EPL in South Africa

The Premier League has more betting options and markets than any football league in the world, and for beginners, things can get very hectic. This guide to EPL betting will explore some of the basic things you need to know about betting on the Premier League in South Africa.

For starters, the EPL is very competitive, and while it hasn't been the case for a while in terms of league winners, there are usually multiple match upsets within the season. To excel at Premier League betting in South Africa, take some time to research the teams, their players, managers, and styles of play. This can help you predict their performance more accurately.

Furthermore, always check team news before placing your bets, as the absence of certain players can alter a team's approach to a game and, subsequently, their performance. If you have an eye for the game and know how to notice patterns early, test yourself with live betting and stand a chance to win big rewards. If, on the other hand, you prefer looking at the big picture, you can place outright bets and then sit back, relax, and watch your predictions unfold over the course of the season.

English Premier League Background and History

In the early '90s, the top clubs in the former First Division of the English Football League began to plan a breakaway with a more modern league in mind. These talks came at a time when the status of English football was deteriorating, and clubs were losing their players to other European leagues.

In mid-1991, agreements for the new top-flight league called the Premier League were signed, and on 15 August 1992, the inaugural 1992/93 EPL season kicked off. Sheffield United saw off Manchester United at Bramall Lane in the first-ever EPL game, with Brian Deane scoring the league's first goal.

Since then, the EPL has grown immensely and is currently the most-watched sporting league in the world. In terms of revenue, the Premier League remains the only football and European competition to rank in the top five. It has also been credited with helping the global popularity of the sport and setting standards for quality.

Over the history of EPL, Manchester United has won the most trophies with 13, followed by Manchester City with 7 and Chelsea with 6. Gareth Barry holds the record for most appearances, while Alan Shearer is the top scorer with 260 goals.

How to Get Started With EPL Betting

The EPL is one of the most popular sports leagues for bettors in South Africa, and that's why we've made our betting process super easy and quick. Here's how to bet on EPL games at 10bet in South Africa.

The first step when starting EPL betting is to create a 10bet account. You can easily do this by visiting our official platform in your browser or downloading the mobile app from the respective app stores. Then click on the Join Now button on the homepage and enter details like your name, identification number, mobile number, and password to complete the registration.

Once your account has been verified, access the deposit page and top up your balance using any option of choice. Then proceed to the sports menu and find Soccer on the list. The Premier League should be among the top leagues, and if it isn't, you can scroll down to the list of countries, click on England, and then Premier League.

From there on, you can browse through the various markets for different games. Tap on any odds to make an accumulator bet and click on the bet slip option to confirm your picks and enter your stake.

EPL Live Betting

The Premier League is already one of the most exciting sports leagues in the world, but what if we told you that there was a way you could make things more interesting? EPL live betting involves placing bets on games that have already kicked off. Yes, you could be watching a Prem game live and still be wagering on it.

At 10bet, in-play betting EPL features a wide range of markets, including standard pre-match options like match winner, total goals, and correct score to more unique live options like match results for certain periods of the game or the next player or team to score. There are also markets that allow you to bet on the next set piece or card booking.

How to Read Betting Odds

To fully enjoy your EPL betting experience, it's paramount that you understand how odds work. Fortunately, understanding EPL odds shouldn't take much of your time, as they are very simple to read.

The first thing to know when reading betting odds is that they numerically represent the likelihood of an event occurring. Sportsbooks have a professional odds-making team filled with mathematicians and EPL game specialists. The team considers a wide range of factors like team form, home advantage, strengths and weaknesses, and even injuries when setting these odds. But it doesn't end there, as more complex algorithms and calculations are also used. After settling on the odds, the bookmakers then add a margin which is a guaranteed profit no matter the outcome.

Generally, the higher the odds in an EPL match, the lesser the chances of that outcome happening. Teams with lower odds are the clear favourites, and bets on them yield lower profits. 10bet South Africa uses the decimal odds format, which is one of the easiest to read. To calculate your winnings, simply multiply your stake by the total odds on your bet slip. So if you placed an R50 bet on Chelsea to defeat Manchester United at 1.56, your potential payout would be R78.

10bet App: Bet on the Go

Mobile betting is the new norm. When you look around, almost everyone is using a mobile device. Even sports bettors now enjoy placing bets with their smartphones. To keep up with this trend and make sure our loyal players are not left out, we've designed the perfect sports betting app.

Types of Bets for EPL

There are various EPL betting types on 10bet, with over 150 options that cover multiple aspects of the game. Here are some of the major Premier League betting options available on our platform.

Three-way Moneyline

Commonly known as 1X2, it's the most popular EPL bet type. It's a simple wager on the outcome of a Prem game. You can either bet on the home or away team to win or predict the game to end in a tie.

Draw No Bet

This is a standard two-way moneyline option that eliminates the possibility of the game ending in a draw. Here, you choose either the home or away team to win, and if neither does, your stake is returned.

Double Chance

This is a safer form of the three-way moneyline. Here, you can place bets on the home/away team, either winning or drawing the game. You can also wager on any team taking the victory.

Totals

These are bets on the total number of goals both teams will score in the game. They are sometimes expressed as decimals, for example, there could be Over/Under odds for 1.5 goals. In this case, both teams would have to score at least two goals for your bet to be successful.

Handicap

Here, one team enters the game with a one-, two-, or three-goal disadvantage, which automatically gives the other an advantage. This levels the playing ground, especially when there's a big disparity between the teams. So the outcome of the game isn't enough; the score also plays a major role.

Props

There are so many EPL props, including wagers like anytime goalscorers, total corners, card bookings, and even keeper saves.

EPL Outright Betting

EPL outright bets are those you place early in the season and are not settled until the end. They are long-term wagers that aim to predict the outcome of the entire season. While most outright bets are placed before the season starts, 10bet allows you to make them even during the season. However, the odds are less stable and change based on current events.

Examples of season-long bets include wagers on the Premier League Champions or top scorer. On 10bet, you can also wager on teams who will finish in the league's top spots and secure European football, as well as teams that'll finish in the bottom three and face relegation to the Championship. There are also odds on individual awards like Player of the Season or Manager of the Season.

Live Betting Odds

Live betting on EPL games is a thrilling adventure, as the odds are very dynamic and can change after a goal, substitution, or even a booking. Our platform has been designed to handle fast-paced betting and is perfect for your live experience. There are also features like live stats and cash out to maximise your enjoyment.

In order to be successful when wagering on in-play odds EPL, you need to be able to read the game quickly and predict potential events before they occur. For example, you could be watching a live game and notice that a particular attacker has been causing serious problems for an opposition defender. If you notice the patterns early, you could place bets on the attacker scoring a goal or the defender getting a booking. You could be lucky and catch the bookies unaware for a nice payout.

Betting Tips

EPL betting can be both fun and rewarding if done correctly. There are certain smart betting strategies you should apply to your EPL wagers to increase your chances of turning a profit. Here are some surefire EPL betting tips for you.

Back the Favourites for Outright Bets

The EPL might have built up a reputation for being one of the most competitive European leagues, but this has hardly been the case for league winners. Except for Leicester City's miraculous run in 2016, no team outside the traditional big six has won the league. So when placing outright bets like league winners, individual awards, and top scorers, it's better to stick with the big dogs.

Bet the Double Chance

The odds might not be as great as those of the three-way moneyline but they are still profitable and also safer.

Stay Updated

In the EPL, the quality of players a team possesses plays a major role in how well they play. That's why injuries, suspensions, and absence of key players influence results. Before betting on a team, ensure you properly research their current state.

Analyse Statistics

Stats like head-to-head, current form, home/away performances, goals scored, chances created, and goals conceded can give you an idea of how a team will perform and help you make better decisions.

Set a Budget

In order to keep your EPL betting sessions interesting, it's best you set aside a betting budget from your main accounts and create a bankroll that dictates how much you'll spend every week. Stick to the bankroll and avoid chasing losses.
