FOOTBALL BETTING – A BRIEF INTRODUCTION
Football has become the number one betting medium in the U.K. In recent years, it has surpassed even horseracing in its popularity with punters. This is due to the increase in the number of matches covered by live television, along with the vast array of betting opportunities available.
MAJOR FOOTBALL EVENTS 2008
Premiership
With 26 games (out of 38) played, the English Premiership seems certain to be contested by Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea, with the likes of Liverpool, Everton, Aston Villa and Manchester City competing for the other European places.
Other Leagues
Along with the English Premiership, prices are available for all three divisions of the Coca-cola league, all the Scottish leagues and some lesser leagues, such as the Unibond Conference.
F.A. Cup
The draw for the quarterfinals of the F.A. Cup (ties to be played March 8th and 9th) is as follows:
Man. Utd. v. Portsmouth
Chelsea v. Barnsley
Middlesborough or Sheffield Utd. v. Cardiff
Bristol Rovers v. West Bromwich Albion
Since only three Premiership teams are certain to be in the last eight, with two of them drawn against each other, the possibility of a turn-up remains.
European
Bets can be had on just about every European league match, from Austria to Wales.
Additionally, there is still British interest in the major European competitions (Champions League and UEFA Cup).
Euro 2008
Even though the `home` teams have failed to qualify for the European Championships, in June, Euro 2008 is still likely to see some fervent betting action.

In September, the English national side contests World Cup 2010 qualifiers against Andorra and Croatia.
