Infogol
Infogol is the home of football statistics. Their app provides betting tips, but this earns its place on your phone or tablet with their stats. Analysing the numbers is important ahead of any bet, and that’s no different with football.
Infogol covers all of the top leagues around the world. Before matches, they offer ‘smart stats’ and ‘flags’ as well as team news and form guides.
Analyst verdicts are usually available, too. Once the match kicks off, live score updates are provided and a ‘half-time team talk’ gives an update on the best in-play bets.
It is as comprehensive as any app on the market. Infogol’s model provides expected goals for all the leagues they cover, and stats are available for the league, teams and individual players.
With great personalisation, this is the first app anyone getting into football betting should download.
Betting Tips Football
With nearly 68,000 reviews (most of which are five-star) on Google Play, there’s no doubting the popularity of ‘Betting Tips Football’.
It is a smooth app to use, easy to navigate, and includes a Premium VIP option that may tempt some particularly committed football bettors. Their win rate is pretty impressive too...
Crucially, they don’t stick to backing the obvious bets either. A range of good value options are provided from small, medium and long odds. History of past bets is kept on the app too, allowing users to check the past success rate.
It isn’t as simplistic as ‘team to win’ or ‘both teams to score’ either. Betting Tips Football take a wider look at the markets, making informed decisions about a range of available bets.
One Football App
You need to know everything in the lead up to a match to make an informed betting decision.
A reliable news app is a must in the arsenal of any football bettor, and they don’t come much better than One Football. The coverage is comprehensive, not just in terms of detail, but also the amount of leagues and teams available.
It’s got a solid five stars on Apple from a whopping 72,500 reviews. The app provides all you need from team news through to minute-by-minute coverage once the match kicks off.
There’s expert analysis, too, which can help to guide you in the right direction as you place your bet.
