Matchday checklist
Strong football books usually cover 1X2, both teams to score, correct score, and player props without burying markets in cluttered menus.
In-play screens should stay readable on mobile — scoreline, clock, and key markets visible without constant hunting.
Compare a few shortlists on the same fixture. Even small differences on favourites add up across a season.
If a welcome deal mentions football, check minimum odds, qualifying bets, and whether accas are included before you claim.
Coverage quality matters as much as the headline price — especially when Saturday cards run long.
Highest demand — look for early prices and broad player markets.
Busy weekends; clear team pages help when fixtures stack up.
Often under-served — good books still list main markets cleanly.
Midweek cards need stable live coverage and quick navigation.
