William Hill Football Betting

If the football is on, then it's easily available from the William Hill homepage. They're good at promoting live and up-and-coming events. So if the football is about to start, you'll find the main markets are given a lot of real estate on the site.

There are lots of different ways to access football betting on the site or app. All the main menus feature a football link of some kind and Hill's has also created small sections dedicated to top betting markets, featured football events and then there are enhanced bets on each page enticing you to be on boosted odds, or some risky preselected multiples

There's a handy football link in the popular betting menu on every page. That's the easiest way to get into the core football betting sections of the site. Or if you need a specific match, the search tool works really well offering up popular markets for fixtures when you search a team name or competition.

 

Football Promotions

From experience, you can access opportunities to earn enhancements and rewards on football bets on a daily basis at William Hill. Head to the promotions page and you'll see a selection of daily bonuses along with their regular offers. Whilst these change very frequently here's an idea of what is often available.

  • Give any game a #Build YourOdds EPIC Boost: Add a single bet of 3 or more selections at odds of 3/1 or bigger to your betting slip. Select ‘EPIC Boost’ and place a maximum stake of £5 with funds from your main account balance. If your bet wins the EPIC Boost winnings will be credited to your account when your bet settles.
  • Boost one Build #YourOdds football single bet of 3 or more selections, every day: Add a single bet of 3 or more selections on the same match to your betting slip. Select ‘BYO Bet Boost’ and place a maximum stake of £20 with funds from your main account balance. If your bet wins, the BYO Bet Boost winnings will be credited to your account when your bet settles.
  • Boost the odds on one football acca of 3 or more selections every day: Add a football acca consisting of 3 or more selections to your betting slip. Select ‘Football Acca Bet Boost’ and place a maximum stake of £20 with funds from your main account balance. If your bet wins, the Football Acca Bet Boost winnings will be credited to your account when your bet settles.

William Hill Live Football Betting & Inplay

William Hill's live betting and inplay betting offerings are pretty smart, they're up there with the best live betting platforms for me. As an avid sports betting enthusiast and a frequent punter, I think the following highlights make William Hill's live betting experience one of the best

They've Prioritised Live Betting: The live betting section is prominently featured on the site, making it easy to access, which makes following live games and competitions more enjoyable in my opinion. This user-friendly design puts live betting at the forefront of heir site and app, so you feel more immersed in the live action.

An Abundance of Live Betting Markets: When football season is in full swing, William Hill are on it. They offer an extensive array of live betting markets. They have expansive, diverse betting options and it's not just about the final scores; you can still bet on player stats and performances in gameplay. 

Scores in Betslips: You can check the scores in your bet slip, which some of Willaim Hill's rivals lack. You get a quick snapshot of the game and you can also link through to the fixture betting page from the bet slip entry.

Easy Access to Inplay Betting: Accessibility is key when it comes to live betting, and William Hill excels. They've made it simple to access inplay betting from the popular menu, which is good for me as it's where I track games that I'm on.

Virtual Match Graphics: The inplay visualise, while no substitute for thew actual football itself is pretty cool. They have a detailed stats panel that always seems to be up to date for the big games.

Live Matches: William Hill show some games live in the inplay module, so you can watch along as you check you bets. 

William Hill doesn't have any offers currently targeted at the inplay or live betting markets specifically. You can however use any free bet credits earned from the welcome offer as a free bet on inplay bets

William Hill Football Coupons & Accumulators

William Hill has a strong acca and coupon betting setup. There's an easy to access coupon section within the football betting category and it's full of all the best betting markets, which are then broken down by league and competition, so you don't have to leave that page. It's a comprehensive coupon section with a wide range of multiple betting markets that I use all the time.

They offer dedicated promotions and offers for multiple bets, particularly accas. This adds some value to the betting experience and does offer something different for those who prefer acca betting like me.

The football coupon section stands out for me because of its diverse range of markets. It's not just about both teams to score or over 1.5 goals. They have over 20 different coupon markets and there are some unique to this section that other coupon pages don't include compared to rival betting sites.

Building accumulators on the William Hill site is straightforward. The layout is easy to navigate, making it simple to select your bets while they load into your bet slip. You'll find singles and potential multiples are very well laid out in the bet slip, making it really clear and obvious which is which. 

William Hill's cashout feature has some notable qualities that make it a reliable system in my opinion. One of the standout aspects is its consistent accessibility. It's there when you need it, which is crucial for live betting and managing your bets effectively.

Unlike some other betting sites, I've noticed that William Hill's cashout feature rarely goes down with delays.  While the cashout prices may not be earth-shattering, they are reasonable. I've found value in cashing out on one remaining selection where I've probably picked a riskier final leg to an acca. 

And lastly the cashout feature is neatly segmented as a tab in the betslip, making it easy to see all available cashout bets at a glance. 

William Hill Footbal Betting Odds

William Hill is mid-level competitive on odds. When testing 20 different fixtures there were on most occasions, other bookies offering a better prices. William Hill would argue they offer boosts and enhancements on certain fixtures giving you the facility to increase odds on a variety of bets.

There's always going to be variance in betting markets and you'll find smaller operations willing to risk their margins with higher pricing. It's good to shop about on the bigger bets to make sure you're getting a good price, but that doesn't detract from the fact that William Hill is still a stable and reliable sportsbook. So if you don't mind a few pennies in the pound difference, the variance in odds won't bother you too much. 

William Hill Virtual Soccer

William Hill offers a modest selection of virtual betting options, primarily focusing on horse racing, football, greyhounds, and some motorsport. They keep it fairly standard without excessive promotion. In my opinion, virtual betting may not be the most responsible way to bet.

Overall, while they do offer a small selection of virtual sports betting, it's a relatively simple offering without too much emphasis on the betting.
