- Premier League betting starts with three core markets: the match result (1X2), total goals and Asian Handicap. Learn those before player props or bet builders.
- Decimal odds show your total return per 1 unit staked, and the implied probability is simply 1 divided by the odds.
- Adding up the implied probabilities of every outcome shows the bookmaker margin, the single most useful number for comparing value.
- At MST88, standard football markets settle on 90 minutes plus stoppage time; extra time and penalties are excluded unless the market says so.
- You can fund an MST88 account with USDT or USDC on six networks or with cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay, and new players get 20 Free Spins at sign-up with no deposit.
Premier League betting means placing wagers on English top-flight matches and season outcomes: who wins a game, how many goals are scored, which team covers a handicap, or who lifts the title in May. To do it well you need three things: an understanding of how odds turn into probabilities, a sportsbook with clear settlement rules, and a payment method that works where you live. This MST88 guide covers all three for international players who bet in USD or crypto.
We write as the MST88 team, so where we explain how a rule works, we are describing our own sportsbook. Nothing here is a tip that guarantees a result; football is unpredictable, and that is the point.

How Premier League Betting Odds Work
Odds are the price of an outcome. Most international sportsbooks, including MST88, display decimal odds, which are the easiest to read.
Decimal, fractional and American formats
- Decimal (e.g. 2.50): your total return per 1 unit staked, including the stake. A 10 USDT bet at 2.50 returns 25 USDT (15 profit).
- Fractional (e.g. 6/4): profit relative to stake, popular in the UK. 6/4 equals decimal 2.50.
- American (e.g. +150 / -200): a plus number shows profit on a 100 stake; a minus number shows what you must stake to win 100. +150 equals 2.50; -200 equals 1.50.
Turning odds into probability
The implied probability of a price is 1 ÷ decimal odds. Odds of 2.50 imply 40%; odds of 4.00 imply 25%. If you believe a team's real chance is higher than the implied probability, the price may be value. If not, it is not, however much you like the team.
Bookmaker Margin: The Number Most Guides Ignore
Add the implied probabilities of every outcome in a market and you will usually get more than 100%. The excess is the margin (also called overround or vig), and it is how every sportsbook is paid.
A worked example using made-up prices for illustration, not real MST88 odds:
- Home 2.10 = 47.6%
- Draw 3.40 = 29.4%
- Away 3.60 = 27.8%
- Total = 104.8%, so the margin is about 4.8%
Why it matters: a lower margin means more of every bet comes back to players over the long run. Big Premier League matches usually carry lower margins than small markets such as exact corners or player cards. When you compare EPL odds, compare the whole market's margin rather than one headline price. For the house-edge maths behind this, Wizard of Odds covers the concept in depth, and the same logic applies to casino games too.
Popular Premier League Betting Markets
The Premier League is the most heavily traded football league in the world, so markets are deep. Here are the ones most players use, with what each one really asks.
| Market | What you are betting on | Good for | Key rule to know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full-Time Result (1X2) | Home win, draw or away win | Beginners, clear opinions | Settled on 90 minutes plus stoppage time |
| Draw No Bet | Home or away; stake returned if it is a draw | Backing a team with draw cover | Lower price than 1X2 for the same team |
| Over/Under Goals | Total goals above or below a line (e.g. 2.5) | No need to pick a winner | Half lines (2.5) cannot be pushed |
| Both Teams to Score | Each side scores at least once | Open, attacking fixtures | Own goals count for the scoring side |
| Asian Handicap | A team with a goal head start or deficit | Lopsided matches, two-way pricing | Quarter lines split your stake in two |
| Outrights | Title winner, top four, relegation, top scorer | Long-term views | Money is tied up until the season ends |
Asian Handicap made simple
Asian Handicap removes the draw by giving one team a virtual head start. On a -1.0 line, your team must win by two goals to win the bet; a one-goal win returns your stake. On -0.75, half your stake goes on -0.5 and half on -1.0: a one-goal win pays half and returns half. This is why Asian lines are popular across Asia and with crypto bettors: two outcomes, fine-tuned risk.
Draw No Bet explained
Draw No Bet is a 1X2 bet with the draw refunded. It is roughly the same as Asian Handicap 0.0. You get a lower price than the straight win, in exchange for protection against a draw.
Bet Builders, Player Props and Accumulators
Bet builders combine several selections from the same match into one bet, for example "home win + over 2.5 goals + a named striker to score". Player props cover shots on target, cards, assists and goalscorers.
Three things to remember:
- Correlation is priced in. A team winning and its striker scoring are linked, so the combined price is lower than multiplying the single odds.
- Margins stack. Each leg carries its own margin, so a five-leg builder carries much more total margin than a single.
- Void legs in accumulators normally count as odds of 1.00 at MST88, so the rest of the bet stays live at a lower price.
Accumulators across different matches follow the same maths. A four-team acca at 2.00 each pays 16.00, but it needs all four to land. Treat accas as entertainment with small stakes, not as a plan.
Using Data: xG, Home/Away Splits and Form
The gap in most Premier League betting tips is data. You do not need a paid model, but a few free metrics will sharpen any opinion.
Expected goals (xG)
xG measures the quality of chances a team creates and concedes. A side that keeps winning 1-0 while conceding more xG than it creates is often riding luck, and the market can be slow to adjust. A side losing narrowly while dominating xG may be undervalued.
Home and away splits
Some clubs are very different at home. Look at goals, xG and points split by venue across a decent sample, at least ten matches, rather than the last two results.
Team news and fixture congestion
Champions League and Europa League weeks matter. A team playing on Wednesday night and again on Saturday lunchtime may rotate. Always check confirmed line-ups, injuries and suspensions; the official Premier League website publishes fixtures, results and club news.

Can You Bet on the Premier League with Crypto or USD?
Yes, at MST88 you can. Payment options depend on your country and account currency, and the cashier always shows what is available to you.
Crypto: USDT and USDC
- Networks: USDT on TRC20, ERC20, BEP20, Polygon, Solana and Arbitrum; USDC also on Base.
- USDT minimum deposit: TRC20 20, ERC20 3, BEP20/Polygon/Solana/Arbitrum 1. No deposit fee.
- Withdrawals: minimum 10 (Arbitrum 5), maximum 99,999 per request. Network fees apply, for example 5 on TRC20 and 0.2 on Arbitrum.
- Match coin and network exactly. Sending USDC to a USDT address, or using the wrong network, can lose the funds.
Stablecoins are popular for betting because 10 USDT stays worth about 10 USD while your bet is running, unlike volatile coins. Our USDT betting site guide explains wallets and networks step by step.
Cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay
International USD accounts can pay by Visa/Mastercard credit card, Apple Pay and Google Pay; EUR accounts by credit or debit card. Withdrawals go to the same method and to an account in your own name.
Bonuses, Wagering and Settlement Rules
Wagering in plain words
Wagering (turnover) is how much you must bet before bonus money can be withdrawn. Each deposit must also be wagered at least 1x before a withdrawal. Requesting a withdrawal cancels any active bonus for that currency, so finish wagering first if you want to keep it. If you only want to bet on football, you can untick the bonus at deposit and keep things simple.
How MST88 settles football bets
- 90-minute rule: standard football markets cover 90 minutes plus stoppage time and exclude extra time and penalties unless stated.
- Official result: settlement follows the market rules and the official result.
- Postponed or abandoned matches follow the current sportsbook rules.
- Cash Out is offered at MST88's discretion and is not available on every market.
- Disputes: collect the bet ID, event, market, selection, odds and time, and contact 24/7 live chat or @MST88_bot.
Live In-Play Betting and Bankroll Discipline
In-play betting lets you react to what you see: an early red card, a tactical switch, a keeper injury. Prices move fast, so decide before kick-off which in-play scenarios would make you bet, and stick to them.
Simple bankroll rules that work for any league:
- Set a fixed budget for the month and use MST88 deposit limits (daily, weekly or monthly) to hold yourself to it.
- Use a flat stake, such as 1-2% of your budget per bet, rather than raising stakes after a loss.
- Keep a record of every bet: market, odds, stake and result. After 50 bets you will see which markets suit you.
- Never chase losses. If you feel the urge to "win it back", take a break; MST88 offers 24-hour, 7-day and 30-day breaks.
Between matches, many players also spend time in the MST88 live casino. The same rule applies there: every game has a house edge, and a session budget protects your enjoyment.
