Football Betting Strategies are absolutely key if you’re going to be profitable long-term.

Football is the biggest sport in the world, and we see non-stop matches around the world to bet, trade and matched bet on. You have old classic strategies like laying the draw trading and 2 Up strategy in matched betting. We’re going to run through what exactly is the best football strategy and how to give yourself the best opportunity to consistently profit on football.

#1 Best Football Betting Strategy?

The single best football betting strategy is 2 Up. If you didn’t know, a 2 Up Offer when the bookmaker pays out early if your team goes two goals ahead. If they then fail to win, you also get paid out on the exchanges. The key is finding very low set-up costs and you could hit the jackpot with a double win! There are also plenty of in-running options. For example, if your team goes 2 Up and you get paid as a winner with the bookmaker but the other team score – you can then trade for a profit on the exchanges.

If you want to learn more about 2 Up Offers, check out our Blog: How To Exploit 2 Up Offers which explains everything you need to know in detail.

In the below screenshot, you’ll see we used the Profit Rush Bet Calculator to see what the set up cost would be for a 2 Up at the weekend.

As you can see, this example costs £3.04 to set up and you could win £100 with Bet365 and also win £47.92 with Betfair if your team were to lead 2-0 and draw or lose from there. The reason 2 Up is the best football betting strategy is because it’s very low risk while the reward is very high. You don’t need to win often to win big over the long-term because the risk is so low.
