Rumour and Intrigue
We all love football (or soccer) and everything that comes with it - from the transfer sagas, to the speculation of a managers future and rumours of a dressing room bust up. No matter what stories are floating around at any given moment, you can be 100% sure we'll let you know about it. If it can potentially influence results and therefor your bets, we'll be reporting it.
We're not just all about football here at Betting.co.uk though - far from it. When it comes to horse racing you can expect all of the latest news regarding track conditions, training preparations, and the inside scoop from the world of jockeys. Or, if you like your horsepower under the bonnet/hood, you can also catch the
latest F1 news
instead - we cover it all. Even
combat sports news
is on our radar. We know that the best training tips come from the most in-depth new stories leaked from inside - and we've always got our ear firmly to the ground!
Keeping on top of stories like that is what helps us become successful punters. Transfer rumours can kick off at any time during a season, not just in the run up to transfer windows. A top player asking for a move can be a sign that all is not well in a team’s dressing room. Professional sports teams are often quite fragile when it comes to holding collective spirit together, and sometimes removing one piece from the puzzle can make it all fall apart.
Injuries Affect Results
Injuries are a massive part of professional sport - terrible when your teams badly hit, they can also give you a boost when the opposition is missing a few key players. When a team has a small squad, an injury to a key player can cause huge disruption to a team’s season. Even for the top sides, injuries can lead to team selection being disrupted and new patterns of play being used - just look at Spurs in the 2019/20 season! Even minor tweaks to tactics can lead to big changes in a team’s performances (think back to Claudio Ranieri's "Tinkerman" days at Chelsea).
There are hardier players that will play through injuries in times of crisis for their clubs. Some will tell you this happens more often in ‘warrior’ sports like the NFL, rugby league and
rugby union. However, it's not that rare in football (soccer) - remember Son scoring a brace against Villa with a broken arm anyone? If a player is carrying an injury it can affect things like whether or not he will take his usual kicks in a game of rugby, or bowl his usual amount of overs in a cricket match.
For example, a cricket bowler carrying an injury will likely wind up with a bowling speed more akin to your grandad's on the green. If the match is being played on a surface and in conditions that suit fast bowling, that could seriously affect the outcome of the game. For this reason, it's vitally important to keep yourself up to date with the
latest cricket news
so that you are not caught off guard on match day.
Don’t Ignore the Weather
Come rain, hale or shine all of the best players love to ply trade no matter what the conditions may be. However, it can affect how the game will play out - and players and managers won't be shy about blaming the weather conditions either! From Klopp claiming the wind was at fault for Liverpool losing ground to City in the title race, to O'Gara saying the storm was to blame for the Lions' Draw against Springbocks back in '09 - we've heard it all!
That being said, the weather conditions undoubtedly have an effect on how sports are played. We've all seen the ball move faster on a wet pitch, or stop completely on a waterlogged one. On the other side of the coin, most of you will also remember the extra water breaks granted to players under the Brazilian sun in 2014.
Keeping up to date with the latest sports news will mean that you can develop an understanding of how certain teams fare in certain conditions. A cricket side that has some good fast bowlers, for example, will tend to do better on green pitches in overcast conditions. Weather and track conditions can also be really important in
horse racing news. You will need to know what the ground conditions are likely to be ahead of a big race meeting, as this will affect results in all sorts of ways.
While we at Betting.co.uk are not meteorologists, we're not daft either - meaning we know what the weather will be like ahead of big events. You’ll also pick up some details about which teams, horses or players tend to favour which conditions. No detail is ever too insignificant to ignore when it comes to betting.
Keeping on top of the latest sports news also means that keep a close eye on the form of teams and players. Form, probably more than any other factor, is something that shapes betting decisions in a significant way. Form is more often than not the factor that has the biggest influence on the odds calculations by the bookies. To use an obvious example, if Rafa Nadal has lost his last 3 games, he's not going to be hotly tipped for his next one, despite his name and pedigree.
Combining all aspects of sports news can sometime help us keep ahead of the bookies. For example, a bookie might give a player poor odds due to recent performances, but you might also have seen a news report that the player had been carrying a knee injury that has now healed. In that case, you could expect him to return to form pretty quickly. That may mean that the bookies set his odds wrongly. Spotting good value opportunities like this can only come from keeping a close eye on the sports news. The bookies don't often get it wrong, but it can happen - which is why we always try to be ahead of the game.
Keeping up to date with multiple teams' and players' form in multiple sports can be hard to keep track of. If you bookmark Betting.co.uk, though, you can follow the important news in the sports that matter to you. We’ll keep you up to date with teams' performances in all sports, and what kind of challenges they are facing. All of this can be vital when it comes to you spotting the best value possible on the betting markets that matter to you.
Betting Industry News
Just as important as sports news itself though, is betting industry news and how it relates to sports. A crazy amount of teams across all of the world's top football and soccer leagues are sponsored by betting companies these days - West Ham & Betway, Celtic & Dafabet and so forth. Even in the US, NFL team now have official betting partners. This means that you can often pick up special offers from those bookies. Some bookies will offer bonus bets or odds boosts if you bet on certain team with whom they are associated. Alongside US betting industry news, we also cover regular
US sports news, so keep tabs on that section as well.
You might pick up a bonus bet or two if you read a news report about a bookie signing a new deal with a team,. It can also be useful to see whether certain bookies who sponsor specific competitions are offering any special deals.
