It should go without saying that nobody wins every time they make a bet, but everyone can learn to bet in a way that maximizes their chances while also minimizing potential losses

Knowledge is potential power, so the more live data you have at your disposal, the better. That's why How to Bet provides both live odds and betting news.

There are more than 1,000 articles and guides already available at HowToBet, and more are being added on a weekly basis. The best way to see what we have to offer is to explore the site at your leisure.

That’s why we are pleased to provide you with all the live odds, betting lines and other data sets (such as schedules and results) that you’ll need to apply what you learn. 

The most successful bettors are those who shop around for the best odds. You can do that by visiting all available sportsbooks for yourself, but we make life easy for you by giving you the latest betting lines for all of the most popular events. This allows you to quickly compare the live odds and strike a bet at the best price currently being offered.

Betting News & Trends

We all know that past form can be a good guide to the expected performance of a team or competitor in a future event, but it doesn't tell the whole story. You also need to be aware of things like player fitness, team motivation, and other factors that could have an impact on performance.

Our betting news articles and trend insights will keep you bang up-to-date with all the latest developments you need to be aware of. They will also bring future betting opportunities to your attention that you might otherwise overlook.
