In the United Kingdom, all the men’s football clubs are a part of the Football Pyramid or the English Football League System. The football pyramid consists of teams from England, Wales, Guernsey, Jersey, and the Isle of Man. All teams are divided into different leagues and the most prominent of them is The Football Association Premier League Limited or The English Premier League (EPL).
The EPL runs on a system of promotion and relegation with the succeeding league in the football pyramid – The Championship. 20 clubs participate in the league each season playing twice against each other in a home-and-away game style. These games are mostly played during the weekend and the whole competition spans from August to May every year.
During a league season, several bookmakers generate odds, accept bets from gamblers, and pay winners. For sports bettors in Hungary, top tipster, Aladar Kollar advises that, “mielőtt megtenné fogadását, elengedhetetlen, hogy tájékozódjon tippekről és jóslatokról, olyan legnépszerűbb oldalakról, mint a mightytips.hu. A fogadóknak meg kell győződniük arról, hogy csak olyan bukmékereknél kössenek fogadásokat, amelyek rendelkeznek a Szövetségi Adószolgálat (FTS) engedélyével, és az Interaktív Fogadási Fordítási Számviteli Központon (CUPIS) keresztül működnek. Maga a szerencsejáték nagy kockázatot jelent, és nem érdemes növelni ezt a kockázatot azzal, hogy megbízhatatlan bukmékereknél fogad. Sok tucat megbízható sportfogadó létezik, ahol fogadhat a Premier League meccseire. Keressen közülük egyet vagy többet, és csatlakozzon hozzájuk. Így biztos lehet benne, hogy biztonságban van.”
