What is the Bet of the Day?

The bet of the day is either a single, double, triple or accumulator that our expert has selected, based on a number of factors including form and statistics.

How do we select our bet of the day?

Finding the best value bet out there can be tricky given the vast amount of matches and markets available, thus we assess all of these and sort through to find the best bet with the strongest value.

What do we keep an eye out for in our bet of the day?

The most important thing we look out for is the value that each bet provides. We are looking for bets that not only have a good chance of coming in, but also picks that hold great value.

What are the odds of the bet of the day?

We never choose a specific price for our bet of the day, but in general, we attempt to choose those bets that are around a price of evens (1/1 or 2.0) and above.

Gunners to close in on title with a big win

Arsenal boast a 78% home win rate in the Premier League this term. They’ve bounced back from successive defeats in April, with three straight victories to nil.

An early goal in this match could set the Gunners up for a convincing triumph. They have every incentive to push for a sizeable winning margin, given goal difference could still be a factor. That suggests Mikel Arteta’s side will keep attacking until the final whistle.

Burnley have the worst defensive record in the Premier League, with 2.03 goals conceded per match. Their total of 72.0 xGA (expected goals against) is also the worst return by some margin. Therefore, backing Arsenal -3 Handicap offers good value, with an implied probability of 34.8%.
