How much time are you wasting?

Some of us are just terrible for procrastinating.  The number of betting opportunities I’ve missed because of putting things off is just insane.

Real Madrid vs Barcelona on Instagram: The Last 6 months

The on-field rivalry between LaLiga giants Real Madrid vs Barcelona rivalry is matched by fierce competition off the pitch in the form of social media following.  I’ve been tracking the progress of these famous Spanish clubs over the past 6 months over different social media platforms.

Whilst Real continues to lead the way, the Catalans are making up ground fast.  The current state of play can be seen below (the table updates hourly, so what you see will have actually stayed current since the publishing of this article on 8th April 2019).

LaLiga social media followers

This really does illustrate how much of a 2 (maybe 3 if you include Atletico Madrid) team competition!

As of today, 8th April 2019, Barcelona are about to enter into a Champions League quarter-final with Manchester United, with Lionel Messi leading the way.  Real Madrid, on the other hand, are (for their high standards of success), not doing very well at all.  Knocked out of the Champions League already (by surprise package, Ajax) and sitting third behind Barcelona and Atletico Madrid in the LaLiga table, Los Blancos are suffering.

Losing their superstar player Cristiano Ronaldo seemed to have an almighty impact in terms of their success on the pitch and it was reflected on social media, and felt particularly hard on Instagram.  Using Instagram as the main measure for indication of player and club image and thus popularity/following, take a look at how the gap is narrowing:

Instagram following 8th April 2019.

The first data point was recorded in October 2018, when Real had a “lead” of 3,543,793 over Barca in Instagram followers.  Today, the Madrid club have surpassed 70 million followers and are to be congratulated on the achievement (70,552,670) – the first club in the world to reach the landmark.  Barcelona are, however, cutting the gap with 67,741,220 followers – and are now just 2,811,450 followers behind.  That is a difference in the size of the gap of 732,343 followers in just 25 weeks.

So how do we attribute this difference?  It can only really come down to three main factors: a) On-field success, b) The social media appeal of each clubs’ star players and c) The execution of the clubs’  Instagram accounts.

While the number of followers on social media might not at first seem like a very interesting point, it helps drive profits to clubs which they need to compete as the sums of money paid to players reaches more and more lofty levels.  At this rate, Barcelona look set to steak Real’s crown on Instagram in two years’ time.   However, as we know too well, Real Madrid don’t accept defeat in anything without a fight and will surely hit back in 2019/20 season.

Barcelona v Real Madrid Live Stream – UK El Clasico live streaming info

Barcelona v Real Madrid live streamYou’ll no doubt be eager to watch the Barcelona v Real Madrid live stream on Saturday at 15:15 UK time.  Unfortunately, El Clasico live streaming for UK viewers will NOT be available on terrestrial TV, Sky, BT or any of the usual suspects.  The good news, though, is that  you can still watch it – The only way that UK viewers can get a decent and legal stream is by having a funded account with online bookmakers bet365.

You could, of course, try one of those dodgy sites where you have to click away loads of seedy adverts and then quickly get fed up with the jerky, stop-start live streaming quality and maybe even get a virus on your PC.  Or, if you want to enjoy it on a quality, reliable stream you will be able to watch the Barcelona v Real Madrid live stream from kick off until full time from any tablet or mobile or perhaps even web enabled TV where you have Internet access.

How to get the Barcelona v Real Madrid live stream

You will need to go to bet365.com to acces the Barcelona v Real Madrid live stream.  If you’re already a customer there and have funds in your account, then you’re already good to go!

If you’ve not signed up, simply complete the registration process and make a deposit (there is no minimum amount).  Then you will be able to access the Barcelona v Real Madrid live stream when the match is on at 15:15 Saturday afternoon UK time.

 

Barcelona v Real Madrid live stream – Match preview

FC Barcelona are unbeaten in their last four home La Liga games, while Real Madrid are unbeaten in their last 17 away domestic league matches.  You’d expect this to be a tight match and Barca are currently the favourites.  In fact, odds on Real Madrid to win are as high as 3/1 at time of writing.

With Barcelona having lost twice already this season, and Madrid unbeaten, there is a six point gap between the two teams.  In fact, Barca are only above Sevilla (both on 27 points) on goal difference.  So why are they the favourites?  Simple – Barca just have to win this match and they generally lift for this massive fixture.  It’s El Clasico after all and there is home pride at stake, plus they simply they can’t afford to get further behind in the league at this stage.  To lose a six-pointer would be a real shock and they really need for Neymar to get back in the goals again after 7 games without one.  Unfortunately, Ex-Tottenham superstar Gareth Bale is missing for this game, and that lack of creativity does not help Real Madrid’s cause much at all.

One thing is for sure, though, there is always a huge buzz for this match (not just locally but around the world) and it’s another chance to savour the next chapter in the battle between Messi and Ronaldo as part of this quest for Spanish football supremacy.

Why PSV Eindhoven are destined to defend their Eredivisie title this season

Last season, PSV Eindhoven pipped Ajax to the Eredivisie title on the final day of the season to send a clear statement of intent to their main rivals. Prior to the 2014/15 campaign, Ajax had won four consecutive titles but the pendulum and momentum in Dutch football has swung back in PSV’s favour – and if truth be told, it doesn’t look like changing anytime soon. The Eredivisie is still a two-horse race but PSV are at least a neck ahead right now…

Ajax lost Frank de Boer in the summer and the Dutch giants have struggled to replace him at the helm. Following De Boer’s departure, former Feyenoord technical director Peter Bosz was appointed as Ajax boss but his honeymoon period has been anything but successful. In fact, they were humiliated by FC Rostov in their Champions League qualifier and it is hard to imagine them bouncing back in the near future.

Meanwhile, PSV are on the rise and it wouldn’t be a huge surprise to see Eindhoven dominate the Eredivisie for the foreseeable future. Phillip Cocu has the club’s best interests at heart and has impressed during his time as head coach. Whilst PSV have lost a number of talented stars in recent times – Memphis Depay being the main one – they have managed to keep a sense of pride and team spirit in the dressing room.

At the time of writing, Cocu’s men are priced at 4/6 to win the title in Betway’s betting odds on their Dutch website. The defending champions are certainly looking strong after a couple of impressive performances early on in the season and Ajax will have to be at their very best to stand any chance of pipping PSV to the crown. After all, PSV have the continuity, the experience and the nous to retain their title for the third year in a row.

The lack of competition says a lot about the state of Dutch football. Holland were a major force in world football just a few decades ago but they are in a sorry mess right now. Guus Hiddink was dismissed after failing to lead The Netherlands to Euro 2016 and many will be expecting a positive backlash as they look to reach the 2018 World Cup in Russia – however, they face a very tough qualifying pool and Holland will have to be much improved.

Who knows, Ajax could improve and give PSV a stern test but it isn’t looking very likely right now. The Dutch giants are still way ahead of their other opponents but once again, the Eredivisie is a two-horse race; and one of those horses is looking strong whilst the other is very weak. PSV aren’t able to put up a stern fight in the Champions League but they are more than capable of defending their domestic crown without too much bother.

PSV needed all 38 matches to retain the title last season but Eindhoven look set to secure the crown in advance this time around. Ajax are getting worse whilst PSV are improving and that is why the champions will win a third successive crown. Barring a major change in fortune, PSV Eindhoven will close the gap at the top of Dutch football and continue to assert their dominance in recent times; they are just too consistent for Ajax to handle.

Boosted Odds for the Weekend

We’ve got another enticing weekend of football ahead as we get a better feel for which teams have done the best business during the transfer window.  Here are a few of the price boosts on offer at various bookmakers including Coral, Ladbrokes and Sky Bet:

In the Premier League:

There are a few offers already for the early kick off match on Saturday. Spurs have a second consecutive home fixture and the visitors this time are Liverpool FC.  The Reds have a good recent record against Tottenham, although results have been getting tighter between these two sides in their last few meetings.  We suspect that it’ll be tight yet again at White Hart Lane.  Home forwards Kane and Janssen are both looking to get off the mark while the Reds are smarting after a shock 2-0 defeat at the hands of Burnley – despite having the lion’s share of possession.

The LottoLand App: More Games, More Ways to Win

If you’re a fan of lotteries but can’t bear the thought of choosing random numbers, waiting in line at your local store and handing over cash to an incredulous shop assistant, then fear not because there is a different way.

Thanks to the number lovers at Lottoland, you can now play dozens of lotteries worth millions every week directly from your smartphone. Boasting a swipeable interface that gives you full account access, game histories, automatic win notifications and special mobile offers, the Lottoland app is the neatest way to ante up on the go.

An Easier Way to Play

 

Why go to the trouble of downloading an iOS or Android app when you can play your local lottery like you always have, you may ask?

Well, unlike traditional lottery gaming, Lottoland allows you to bet on lotteries rather than invest in them directly. Because the site uses an insurance model to cover wins, you can win just as much through Lottoland as you would in a normal game but without the restrictions.

Indeed, it used to be the case that if you wanted to play the US PowerBall, a lottery known for paying out $50 million+ jackpots, you needed to fly to the USA and physically purchase a ticket. Today, you can simply download the Lottoland iOS app or Android app and pay the standard entry fee.

Essentially, Lottoland’s mobile app gives you the freedom to play more lotteries and win more money whenever and wherever you want. What’s more, because this app contains features such as “quick picks”, syndicate betting and knowledge centre so you can brush up on your skills, it’s a whole more entertaining than playing live.

More Ways to Win for Free

lottoland2

Naturally, just as the Lottoland mobile app is more efficient than its live gaming counterpart, it’s also more lucrative. Regardless of whether it’s day or night, you can claim your own free lotto bet by clicking here.

Thanks to a smorgasbord of daily bonuses, you can get more value each time you play at Lottoland. For example, all mobile players will gain access to the following promotions:

  • Try For Free – Get your first line free on any lottery (excluding the El Gordo Spanish Christmas Lottery).
  • BOGOF – Buy one get one free on EuroMillions draws (pay £2 for 2 lines instead of £4).
  • Win Your Money Back – Scoop a win on your first lottery and Lottoland will refund the entry fee in the form of a bonus.
  • 15% Savings – Get a 15% reduction on the cost of various lotteries, including: US MegaMillions, EuroMillions, PowerBall and the Irish Lotto.

Playing the lottery has never been easier or more potentially profitable thanks to Lottoland. If you enjoy lotteries, own an Android or iOS device and want access to more games, more offers and more ways to win, then Lottoland is a fantastic app to download.

Useful apps to assist with your betting

With the new football season finally underway, bettors can get back into the habit of predicting outcomes or first goal scorers, building accumulators, and winning money.

Those who didn’t enjoy great returns last time out will want to begin this season with a bang, so it is important to prepare properly. Along with your preferred bookmakers, here are a few other useful apps that you could consider installing. They will stand you in good stead for when it comes to placing bets.

BBC Sport

The BBC sport app is perfect for giving you a strong and detailed overview of all the leagues you want to bet on. You can make selections based on your preferences, and receive news geared towards you. This can be particularly useful when you want to get quick information about other leagues.

If you are based in England, chances are that most of the news you will hear on TV is about the Premier League. With the BBC app you can get information about the Bundesliga, Ligue 1, La Liga, and other top flights. A quick exploration of the apps pages will give you detailed reports about Real Madrid’s starting line-up, for example, which is something that could be useful when selecting who to bet on, such as first goal scorer in the La Liga betting.

The app provides up to date news and analysis, along with fixture lists, results, and injury developments.

Stats Zone by FourFourTwo

This free app is for bettors that want to guide their decisions based on detailed stats. It goes beyond the usual facts about which players scored or picked up an assist, and shows detailed data about pass completion, chances created, touches in the final third, and total shots per game. This can put you at a distinct advantage when trying to guess the correct score line.

Hypothetically, if you can see that Arsenal had a total of 20 goal scoring opportunities in the last game and 40% of their shots were on target, you may wager that their attackers are gearing up for an onslaught on the next team they face. Weighing this data up with stats regarding the opposition’s defence could help you make a more informed decision than you would without such information.

Sky Go

Once you’ve gathered all the intelligence you can garner about the players and teams, and have made your betting selections, you probably want to watch the game to find out if you have been successful. Sky Go allows users to watch live matches while on the move, so no matter what you are doing you don’t miss out on a second of the action.

This means you can now go about your daily business, and run errands while also watching the football. If you want to place an in-play bet you can just minimise the app, put your bet on, and then reopen the app later to see if you have won.

So, if you are looking for ways to improve your chances of winning as well as generally enhance your football experience, check out these app downloads.

Premier League 16/17 Betting Preview

Premier League 16/17 Betting Preview

If you were shipwrecked on a desert island over the past month or so, you might’ve missed the big name transfers & astronomical transfer fees exchanging hands over the summer. Not only have we got these top footballers joining the league but we have European football’s most iconic managers taking charge of some of the league’s biggest teams, as they attempt to apply their trade to the world’s most competitive top flight division.

Premier League to Win Outright Odds

2016-17 EPL Outright

Jose Mourinho’s drawn-out arrival at Manchester United is one such headline that has captured the spotlight (as he may have wanted), along with his signings of Ibrahimović, Pogba, Mkhitaryan and Bailly. All in all, this has resulted in the Premier League’s most crowned team being touted as 2nd favourites for the title at 10/3 (4.33) with bet365, despite their 5th place finish under Van Gaal last season. Ibra has a reputation for scoring goals wherever he goes, and it seems as though his transfer to United is not expected to be any different as the Swede is 9/1 (10.00) and 3rd favourite to be Top Goal scorer.  More on that market below.

The blue side of Manchester are outgunning their arch-rivals in the To Win Outright markets despite the big spending this summer however! Pep Guardiola, no stranger to his counterpart Mourinho of course, has taken charge of the 2013/14 Premier League winners Manchester City and like United, not only have they got a new and successful manager but they’ve also had an influx of big name players – Gundogan, Nolito, Sane, Stones and Zinchenko! The Cityzens are favourites for the Premier League title at 5/2 (3.50) with bet365 and Guardiola is clearly more than capable to guide them to their 3rd Premier League title! He’ll look to his main man Sergio Aguero to fire his side to the title, with the Argentine favourite for the Top Goal scorer title at 10/3 (4.33).

Some would say that Mourinho’s former side Chelsea have been flying well below the radar in the build up to this year’s campaign following a disastrous 2015/16 season which saw them finish in 10th position. This does of course mean that there’s no European football for their forthcoming campaign and this does supply a big advantage in light of the reduced fixture list. Hazard had a season to forget but it seemed that as soon as Mourinho exited the club, he found his form again and following some impressive performances at Euro 16’ with Belgium – he could well shine under new manager Antonio Conte. Hazard is 40/1 (41.00) to be top goal scorer and the Blues are 11/2 (6.50) for the Premier League title. Also, Chelsea are 13/8 (2.62) to be Top London Club at bet365, and following their exciting acquisitions of Premier League title winner N’Golo Kante and hot prospect Batshuayi; this could host some real value against their London rivals.

Top London Club Odds 2016/17

top london club

Both Arsenal and Spurs have both experienced lesser exciting summers following successful Top 4 2015/16 campaigns, although respective fans would prefer not to see their sides mentioned in the same market. Spurs have acquired Victor Wanyama and Dutch striker Vincent Jaansen, whilst Arsenal’s key signing is Xhaka. Some would argue that a more familiar squad could prove to be a real advantage for the forthcoming season but the lack of strengthening in key areas will have fans concerned.  This will make for particular anxiety for the Gunners who will once again rely on Sanchez to boost their goal scoring options, with the Chilean a 20/1 (21.00) shot to be Top Scorer. Spurs’ key striker Harry Kane surpassed all expectations last season and struck an impressive 25 goal haul to narrowly pip Sergio Aguero and Jamie Vardy by just a solitary goal to the Golden Boot title; and he’s 7/1 (8.00) to retain his Top Scorer crown despite some woeful Euro 16’ performances. Perhaps he’ll be given a break from taking corners now, which would probably help his cause.  Groan…

One further team that have made drastic changes this summer is Liverpool under Jürgen Klopp. The German did,of course, join Liverpool mid-way through last season’s campaign and only now is he having his influence on squad additions after guiding Liverpool to an 8th spot finish and 2 major yet unsuccessful finals with the Europa League and Capital One Cup. Over 12 players have now left the club to generate transfer funds that have been spent on new acquisitions such as Mane, Wijnaldum, Klarius, Klavan and Matip. Mane and Wijnaldum were both amongst the league’s top 5 goal scoring midfielder’s in the 2015/16 campaign so it’s clear to see that Klopp aims to add goals to his new-look side. Liverpool are very much outsiders for the title despite the big changes – 9/1 (10.00) with bet365 but like Chelsea, they have the benefit of a reduced fixture list with no European football this year. The last time this happened, they went so very close to claiming their first Premier League title in 25 years, with Suarez and Sturridge scoring for fun.

And who could forget about the English Champions, Leicester City. It’s fair to say that their 2015/16 campaign was a true inspiration and most likely a ‘once in a lifetime’ occurrence at 5000/1 but it was loved by football fans from across the globe. The reality has now settled in and Leicester City will be in the Champions League and are 100/1 (101.00) to win it unbelievably. They have of course lost their star midfielder Kante to Chelsea but have kept hold of key striker Jamie Vardy, whom is 16/1 (17.00) to be Top Scorer at bet365, and also 2015/16’s PFA Player of the Year Riyad Mahrez. The Foxes are a seemingly-withdrawn 28/1 (29.00) to retain their Premier League title but could well struggle with the burden of Champions League football expanding their fixture list.

Top Goalscorer Odds 2016/17

top goalscorer

In recent years, the Premier League newcomers have put up a great challenge and this has seen sides such as Watford and Swansea flourish, whilst Premier League regulars Newcastle and Aston Villa drop down into the Championship. This year’s promoted teams will of course be hoping to put up a solid fight of their own, and with Middlesbrough spending well in the summer on players such as Negredo and Valdes – they’re 4/5 (1.80) to be Top Newcomer, and 8/1 (9.00) To Finish in the Top Half of the league. Swansea, on the other hand, could be in for trouble ahead since they’ve now sold club captain Ashley Williams and key goal-threat Andre Ayew, they are 3/1 (4.00) to be relegated.

These odds were taken from bet365 today at 15:00 BST and of course will change marginally as the days wear on.  Not long to go now – here’s to another cracking season full of surprises and great football.

Euro 2016 Hots Up

Following some shock Euro 2016 results in the group stages, there are no less than five former World Champions on one side of the draw.  England and Spain have both will both be regretting not being able to finish top of their groups. These teams gave have now drifted in the betting to Win Outright, with bet365 now pricing Spain at 11/2 (6.50) and England at 10/1 (11.0). Both of these prices have appeal though, especially given the insurance of the Penalty Payback promotion, which guarantees that if the team you back to win Euro 2016 is eliminated on penalties bet365 will refund your losing bet (terms and conditions apply).

Other teams heading the To Win Outright market include tournament hosts France at 4/1 (5.0), Germany at 9/2 (5.50), Belgium at 6/1 (7.0) and Croatia at 7/1 (8.0).

The last 16 draw has produced some really fascinating clashes and on Saturday we have the Swiss against the Polish to get things started, followed by an all-British clash when Wales and Northern Ireland meet before Croatia try to overcome Portugal in the evening. All of these games could realistically go either way, with no team from the three fixtures currently priced at odds-on to win in 90 minutes. Sunday’s action looks to be more predictable, with France up first against Republic of Ireland, Germany then facing Slovakia and finally Belgium up against Hungary. On Monday we have the tie of the round as Italy take on Spain, and that’s followed by England’s game against Iceland to round things off. A treble on Wales, Croatia and Belgium all to win in 90 minutes is priced at 7.74/1 (8.74), and looks a solid bet.

So far the Euro 2016 tournament has seen tightly-contested games and with the pressure increasing as we reach the knockout stage that’s unlikely to change. bet365 have reportedly already refunded £6m to customers from the four goalless matches in the group stages through the Bore Draw Money Back offer, which refunds all losing pre-match bets on selected markets.

For the knockout stages this means you can back the likes of Welsh wizard Gareth Bale to score first against Northern Ireland at 3/1 (4.0), West Ham forward Dimitri Payet to score first against Republic of Ireland at 5/1 (6.0).  Another interesting one is Cristiano Ronaldo to score first against Croatia at 15/4 (4.75), safe in the knowledge that your bet will be refunded if the game finishes goalless after 90 minutes.

There are also some very good things happening at William Hill for the Euros.  Check out their app here.

Stoke City Rename Home to bet365 Stadium & Expand Seating

Stoke City will be playing at the bet365 Stadium for their Premier League matches from the start of the new 2016/17 season. The Potters have signed a six-year naming rights deal with the sports betting brand, whose bosses have owned the club for more than a decade.

Fans and commentators will have to get used to referring to the ground as ‘bet365 Stadium’ rather than the ‘Britannia Stadium’ and also a new look.  It will be expanded to a capacity of over 30,000 seats in time for the new season.  Stoke City bet365 stadiumThat’s an additional 1,800 seats that are being added to one of the corners of the ground of the bet365 Stadium.  The developments on the expansion will mean that the area between the DPD and Marston’s Pedigree Stands will be filled in by builders.

Use of bet365 Stadium name a growing trend

The selling of naming rights on football grounds has become a worldwide trend as clubs try to maximise the limited amount of ways that a club can generate money to try and keep with the chasing pack.  Stoke’s continuing partnership with the bet365 sees an additional extension of their shirt sponsorship agreement to three more years.  More money in the coffers for the Potters there, too.  Bet365 have been extremely successful with the growth of online sports betting during the last decade.  The introduction of mobile betting on Android and iPhone Devices has certainly extended the company’s reach.

Other notable clubs who don’t have naming rights at their home grounds (yet) include Tottenham Hotspur’s White Hart Lane, Manchester United’s Old Trafford, Liverpool’s Anfield and Chelsea’s Stamford Bridge.  With ground moves for Spurs and Chelsea afoot, this is likely to change, though.  In fact, Tottenham have already shown images of their new stadium with a “Naming Rights” placeholder. It makes a lot of sense for football clubs to do this, despite meaning that the traditional name of their home is sometimes lost.

After announcing the news of the name change, Stoke Chief Executive Tony Scholes commented: ‘The Premier League is constantly evolving and to ensure Stoke City remain as competitive as possible it’s important we explore as many ways as possible of generating revenue. As supporters are no doubt aware the Britannia brand no longer exists and it was important we attracted a new stadium naming rights partner.’

With the name change of the Britannia Stadium to the bet365 Stadium, Stoke have joined fellow Premier League clubs including Leicester City (King Power) Arsenal (Emirates), Manchester City (Etihad), Bournemouth (Vitality) in having one of their club’s main sponsors adorn the name of their home ground.

Bet365 is a local Stoke company and the Coates family have a long association with the club. Realistically, the Potters very likely would not be in the lofty position that they find themselves today without such support.  John Coates, who is the joint chief executive of bet365 is also vice-chairman of Stoke City.

The previous sponsors of the newly renamed bet365 Stadium were Britannia but this is now no longer a brand since being taken over by the Co-operative Bank. Their ground sponsorship deal lasted for almost 20 years.  Scholes said that the club felt that the ‘time was right’ to redevelop the corner of the ground between the DPD and Marston’s Pedigree Stands after long having the planning permission approved.

The Stoke-on-Trent success story of bet365 is the city’s largest private sector employer with around 3,000 employees.  The Potters will be hoping that this timely boost in their revenue will help them to push higher up the Premier League table.

Man Utd v Bournemouth – Last Chance

So with the Premier League football season coming to a conclusion this evening, it’s your last chance to bet on a match for 2015/16.  Man Utd v Bournemouth may be a dead rubber with United out of next year’s Champions League at the expense of rivals Manchester City and the Cherries happy to have avoided the drop.

Check out the odds above from bet365, and you can of course get the app for Android and iPhone right here on BettingAppStore.
