A Guide To Building The Perfect Bet Builder
The Premier League begins on Friday night with Frank Lampard's Coventry City travelling to last season's champions Arsenal, and the newly-promoted Sky Blues are massive underdogs on betting apps.
The Gunners are overwhelming favourites after beating Manchester City in the Community Shield.
Whether you're new to sports betting or an old hand, this guide will hopefully help you create more winning bet builders than losing ones. There is no perfect formula but it's worth following these guidelines to boost your chances.
For newcomers, bet builders are a single bet made up of multiple selections from a single fixture, and if you're brave enough, you can include more than one match.
2026/27 Premier League Winners Odds:
The key to a profitable bet builder is selecting a leg that is well priced - something like Evens or better, otherwise the returns will be reduced. Consider defenders who are dangerous from set pieces like Virgil van Dijk or Harry Maguire for at least one shot on target.
Also, if you are including multiple matches, try to avoid early kick-offs unless you are really confident, as the bet will be dead before you get to the second fixture.
So, go through these guidelines which hopefully will get you off to a winning start in the Premier League and use our bet creator tool below before finalising your selections.
