Saturdays Premiership Football Picks

Saturday's value football betting

Remember with betting exchanges such as Betfair you can BACK and/or LAY any selection and choose the price/odds you want to take. With all of the following match bets you are attempting to create the market rather than follow it. Simply taking the first price you see on Betfair will most likely mean poor value as a 'backer' or 'layer'. Post your price(s) and if there are no takers that's fine. Remember, value is key, whatever side of the bet you are on.Odds displayed in decimal format, click here for odds conversion.

Notes & Explanation: Try and get as near as possible to these prices. If the market isn't close to these levels on the BACK or LAY side be patient or adjust to a level you are comfortable with. When you 'LAY' a selection, you are betting against it winning. For example, if you're betting in the West Ham v Arsenal market and you lay Arsenal, you offer odds to other punters who wish to back Arsenal. In this instance as near to 1.83 (4/5) as you can get. If Arsenal don't win, then you pick up the backer's stake minus commission. If Arsenal win, then you pay out.
