Multiple Soccer Accumulator Markets

Betfair customers are now able to bet on multiple accumulator markets every Premiership weekend, including a Sunday afternoon/Monday night TV double. Each market is suspended when the first match included on the market kicks off, allowing customers more time to decide what to bet on and a greater variety of combinations to choose from. Similar multiple accumulator markets with different suspension times are also available for Serie A, Primera Division and Bundesliga.

Multiple NFL Accumulator Markets

Betfair customers now have two NFL Sunday accumulator markets on which to bet on, to take into account the fact NFL matches kick-off at 18:00 and 21:00 UK time. As with the soccer accumulators, the market is suspended when the first match included in the market kicks off with the extra accumulators offering customers more choice as regards combinations and more time to choose what to bet on.

The X-Factor

As the popular TV show comes to a close, customers can bet on a range of related markets. An outright winner’s market is now available, as are three separate markets on who will progress further from each of the separate categories - the under 25 solo, 25 and over solo and the group category. Competition should also be as close in the Winning Manager Market as it is in the studio as Simon Cowell, Sharon Osbourne and Louis Walsh go head-to-head to be crowned the X-Factor’s Winning Manager.

Reality TV fans can also expect another series of the popular ‘I’m a Celebrity - Get Me Out Of Here’ during November and as always the Betfair team will put up a variety of markets to get the most out the televised drama.
