Over 30 different sports are offered at 888Sports and that means unconventional sports such as yachting, pesäpallo, surfing, netball and cyclo-cross are all found in the 888Sports betting menu.

But, like most other top-drawer online sportsbooks, football, horse racing and NFL tops the bill at 888Sports and they offer numerous free bet options and concessions on these sports. These include “Acca Insurance” on American Football, “Best Odds Guaranteed” on Horse Racing.

You can view 888Sports odds in fractional, decimal and American formats. And very fair odds they are too. However, do not think 888Sport’s betting prices are in-line with rivals and competitors.

This includes all the latest statistics, from corners and cards, to goals and throws ins. So you can know more about a match than the people simply watching it.

888Sports Racing iCard features all the latest horse racing stats and facts and there’s also an entertaining 888Sports “Tips News and Views” blog-style section which has several new entries every day… that’s for football alone.

News on tennis, basketball, cricket, rugby, snooker, boxing and a host of popular sports can also be found within these pages.

888Sport live betting

Just as live streaming of football takes centre stage at 888Sport, live betting is also a headline act.

Almost 300 weekly betting markets are offered on high-profile matches and many of those are left open and “turned in play”. That means you can bet in-play as well as “cash out” bets “in play”.

All UK and Irish horse racing can be watched live at 888Sports – although for some streams, you may be required to place a small “qualifying bet” beforehand.
