The Conference/Blue Square Premier League Betting

What we used to call the Conference in English football is now known as the National Conference, following a shake-up of the National League System in 2004. It?s also called the Blue Square Premiership after Blue Square undertook sponsorship of the league in 2007. The best way to look at the Conference National is to see it as a kind of waiting room for the Football League where its 24 teams fight for a place in the professional realms of English football. As such, it is a highly competitive league and one which attracts a lot of interest from Football Betting fans.

The advent of online betting has led to a complete revolution in the kind of bets on offer nowadays. No longer limited to betting solely on a win, today?s punter experiences a paradise of variety in the betting options available. Just about every aspect of the game comes under intense scrutiny as bets are placed on such diverse things as:

  • The timing of goals
  • Who scores first
  • Penalties
  • Red or yellow cards
  • Corners
  • In fact, there?s a whole lot more on offer and it?s only through visiting an online betting site that you begin to grasp all the options there are. And if you?ve missed the beginning of a match or want to see how it goes before committing, the brilliant introduction of live betting means that you can dive into a match at any point and place a bet as the odds change according to the development of play. Spread betting is quite common these days and means a more complicated wager and, with its excitement levels, is not for the faint-hearted. Wagres on offer are limited only by the imagination of the bookies who are now so competitive with one another that they?re dishing out free bets to new customers who open accounts with them. There are even sites which help you decide which one to choose.

    The teams in the conference all play each other twice, home and away, and get three points for a win and one for a draw. The table indicates the position of each time and has itself become the focus of much Sports Betting interest. Looking at the season as a whole, you can bet on things like:

  • Season win
  • Finish bottom
  • Head to head
  • Match draw
  • Relegation
  • Teams to stay up
  • Top goalscorer
  • Season points
  • Top teams finish
  • And so it goes on. Towards the end of the season, teams fight hard to achieve the top of the table position so that they get an automatic promotion to League 2. The next four in the table fight it out over two, two-leg semis and a knockout final to sort out which other team goes up. The bottom four go down to be replaced by winners of lower leagues.

    All in all you can now enjoy football #bets# in a very modern way while enjoying the comfort of your own home. You?re just a couple of clicks away from joining the online betting club and, with sites having been established for many years, you can relax in the knowledge that their reliability and trustworthiness is proven and that they are there to look after you and make your gambling experience a truly memorable, and hopefully, profitable one.
