The best soccer betting sites are the best for a lot of different reasons. What sets Bovada and Bet365 apart from other soccer betting sites is their extreme coverage. Both of these sites offer soccer betting on almost every soccer match around the world. Their sites are easy to use and understand and signing up is easy too. In the US, most bettors flock to Bovada mainly because it is legal to use in the US. For a lot of the rest of the world Bet365 is the top site; Bet365’s influence in soccer is very evident as they sponsor many teams and other soccer related events.

A new form of betting called Live betting is a part of both of these two sites and really adds a whole new spin to betting online. Both of these sites have enticing sign-up bonuses for new depositors which is yet another reason people flock to these sites so consistently. Another perk about these two sites are that they are much more than just a soccer betting site. Both Bovada and Bet365 have poker and casinos on site as well.

Bovada

Bovada is probably the most popular soccer betting site in the US for US bettors. They offer betting on almost every league in the world. Most notably, Bovada offers betting on the English Premier League, Italy Serie A, Germany Bundesliga, and France Ligue 1. There are many additional leagues and competitions that are able to be bet on, and most nations with leagues are able to be bet on. Bovada has their proposition bets separated by team, game, and player for organization’s sake. This means that if you want to make a bet on a game between Arsenal and Birmingham City, you can make a prop bet saying that Arsenal will score first, and at the same time make a bet that Robin van Persie will score the first goal. These two bets are under two different tabs which makes them very easily distinguishable.

Bovada also offers Live Betting. Live Betting is a relatively new function on most betting sites. It allows you to make proposition, moneyline, and over/under bets even after the match has begun. As the game goes on and goals are scored the odds become different. It adds a whole new element to betting because now you are able to bet on games that you missed the kickoff of. It also changes the odds which can work for or against a person who chooses to wait until later to place a bet. Live betting also makes watching a game more interesting because how a game is panning out may alter the way you decide to bet.

Bovada offers a 10% sign up bonus for new members. This means that on your first deposit you will receive 10% of that amount added to your account in bonus money. This is just a way of luring prospective members in. The bonus money cannot be cashed until a set of rules is met. On Bovada the sign up bonus money plus the money you initially deposited must be rolled over once before any money can be cashed. If the rules are not met, Bovada will take away all bonus money plus any money that was made with bonus money. Bonuses, when used within the rule reglations, are very helpful for someone who is just beginning to bet on sports.

Bet365

Bet365 is a very popular sports betting site all over the world except for the US. It offers a comprehensive set of leagues able to be bet on. Like Bovada, bettors can place wagers on the English Premier League, UEFA Champions League, Italian Serie A and so on. They offer your typical wager options like Over/Under, Money Line Betting, and an assortment of proposition bets.

Like Bovada as well, Bet365 also offers their version of live, in-game betting. It is very similar to Bovada’s as well, which is probably why these two sites are on the upper tier of soccer betting websites. While in live betting you are able to bet on halftime and full time results on virtually every game that is going on. In addition to betting on half and full time scores you are able to bet on what side will score the next goal and the over/under is also able to be bet on. Bet365’s live betting is very comprehensive, you can even bet on what team will get 3, 5, 7, and 9 corners while at the same time betting on what team will receive the final corner of the game.

Bet 365 offers a new player bonus of 100% on initial deposits up to $200. The deposit bonus’ minimum is $20. To bet with your bonus you must roll over your qualifying deposit once. In order to receive any money from the site in the form of a payout, a player must roll over both the deposit and bonus 3 times before anything is able to be cashed out. This is different than Bovada which only requires you to roll over your bonus and deposit once, but Bovada gives players the option to deposit much more than $200 on their initial deposit to still qualify for the bonus. If bonus terms are not met than Bet365 will relinquish any bonus money earned. Bet365 changes their bonuses fairly regularly so if you were to look back at the site after a while, chances are that the bonuses will have been changed a little bit.

Summary

These two sites, one for US bettors and one for bettors from outside of the US, are two of the most respected soccer betting sites around. These sites are known for their comprehensive coverage of leagues all over the world as well as their intriguing sign-up bonuses that draw more and more members daily.
