Here at MansionBet UK, our experience over the last 15 years has taught us that every punter is different and as a result, reputable bookmakers need to ensure that they have multiple competitions, leagues and events priced up on a daily basis. We also know that you’ll want to see multiple betting markets and bet types listed on the site.
Major Sports and Competitions
Football
There are numerous competitions taking place across the course of the season. Every single online bookmaker will have odds on the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League, but it’s also important to ensure that they also price up the EFL Championship, the Bundesliga and even Major League Soccer. Bookmakers such as Coral, who specialise in football betting will also have additional boosts and special markets available on key games.
Horse Racing
Horse racing remains one of the most popular sports in the UK and as a former sportsbook, here at MansionBet UK, we remember just how important it is to ensure that you have a wide variety of race meetings priced up on the website and app. During the jumps season, most reputable UK bookmakers will have the Cheltenham Festival ante-post markets available, and there is always a demand for the Aintree Grand National to be priced up. Outside of that, events such as Royal Ascot and the Derby should be visible, however, most bookmakers should offer you the chance to bet on US, Australian and French racing too.
Rugby Union
Rugby Union is one of the most popular sports and most online bookmakers will price up major events such as the Six Nations and the Rugby World Cup. Bookmakers such as 10Bet have several boosts and enhancements ahead of these tournaments getting underway. On a monthly basis, you may also find domestic competitions such as the Gallagher Premiership priced up.
Greyhound Racing
Although it often lives in the shadow of horse racing, greyhound racing has a significant appeal in the UK and there are numerous events taking place on a daily basis. It’s important to make sure that your chosen bookmakers has odds on all UK and Irish meetings, and you may even want to look at bookmakers such as Betfred who regularly price up Australian and New Zealand greyhounds too.
Cricket
Cricket has a global appeal and there are a number of matches taking place throughout the year. At MansionBet, we know from experience that punters want to bet on events such as the Big Bash and the Indian Premier League, so it’s important to make sure that you choose a bookmaker who will have odds on all of these events.
Bet Types
Accumulators
Accumulators are an extremely popular way of betting and as an online bookmaker, we recognise the importance of being able to offer punters the chance to dream of landing a big price multiple. Many online betting sites such as Betway and Mr. Play offer enhanced returns on accumulators and this is a great way of ensuring that you won’t miss out if you manage to pick out multiple winners. It’s important to opt for a bookmaker who reward those players who regularly place accumulators.
Asian Betting
Asian handicaps are an extremely popular way of betting, however, these aren’t necessarily offered by all UK bookmakers. If you’re a serious punter, you may wish to ensure that your chosen bookmakers offer these markets, however, if you’re a relatively inexperienced or casual punter, this is unlikely to affect your judgement.
Multiple Betting
As a sportsbook, we found that these markets were particularly popular with horse racing bettors. Multiples and permutation bets such as a Lucky 15, Lucky 31 and Yankee are great for backing several different bets and depending on your stake, you may be able to win big for a small outlay.
