Special Bets, Outrights & Betting Specials
The Special Bets section is home to betting markets that go beyond standard match predictions. Here you’ll find expert analysis of long-term bets, novelty markets and unique betting opportunities that require deeper insight, patience and an understanding of how odds move over time.
These bets are not about quick wins — they’re about identifying value early, understanding market psychology and capitalising on bookmaker pricing before it adjusts.
What Are Special Bets?
Special bets usually focus on outcomes that unfold over weeks or months rather than within a single match. They include season-long markets, tournament outrights and novelty betting options that require a different analytical approach from daily predictions.
- League winners and relegation markets
- Top goalscorer and assist leader bets
- Next manager to be sacked or appointed
- Tournament winner and stage qualification bets
- Player awards and team achievement markets
- One-off novelty or event-based specials
How We Analyse Special Betting Markets
Our analysts focus on probability, price movement and context. We study fixture difficulty, squad depth, injury timelines, tactical changes and historical performance to evaluate whether odds represent genuine value or simply reflect public sentiment.
Because these markets remain open for long periods, timing is critical. We highlight when value exists — and when it may already be gone. Each article explains the logic behind the bet, the risks involved and how market dynamics could evolve.
Special Bets Across Football & Other Sports
While many special bets are football-focused, this section also covers other major sports when long-term markets offer value. You’ll find analysis tied to major tournaments, season futures and performance awards across multiple sports.
For day-to-day selections, head to our Best Bets or Accumulator Tips. If you prefer detailed editorial breakdowns, our Analysis & Betting Previews section provides deeper context before markets settle.
Premium Insight & Responsible Betting
Some of our highest-confidence special bets and long-term angles are reserved for members. Visit Get Premium Tips to access expert-only analysis, exclusive markets and structured staking advice.
Long-term betting requires discipline and patience. Always stake responsibly, understand the risks and avoid tying up funds you may need elsewhere. For support and guidance, visit GambleAware.org. 18+ only.
