Seven Of The Best Bets This Weekend In The UK

Winter is coming, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t still plenty of opportunities out there. Those who like to bet on sports in the UK at Bet365 etc will already have one eye on the horse racing.  However, you’ll find there are plenty of other wagers away from the turf to take one’s fancy. So from the currently fascinating Formula One to the vexed question of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s replacement at Manchester Utd, we take a look at seven of the best bets this weekend in the UK.

1. The Next Manager Of Manchester United

We’ve all watched the odds on the next manager of Manchester United fluctuate. Conte going to Spurs was a bit of a knock, but now the bookies think Brendan Rogers will get the gig. Of course just who wants it, given the way they’re playing, is a different matter. Erik Ten Hag is 11/1 and appears uninterested, as does the 6/1 Zinedine Zidane. So no one is quite sure what Man U are going to do. Which is why it’s one of the best bets this weekend, come Monday it could all over.

2. The T20 World Cup Winner

You can bet on the T20 World Cup finals being quite interesting. The odds on New Zealand and Australia battling for the trophy were quite long. Still, online sportsbook sites in the UK like Bet365 give a bet on Australia the edge at 4/7. Although with a bet on New Zealand only gets 6/5 you can opt either way. Both these sides stunned in the semi-finals. Just ask either England or Pakistan. So, it should be a great match to watch and easily one of the best bets this weekend. 

3. The Brazilian Grand Prix

There was a time when a bet on F1 was a trifle dull. However, the days of Mercedes domination are over now. So you can’t really predict who’ll win, and that makes it one of the best bets this weekend either in the UK or Brazil. Whether you bet on Lewis Hamilton to bounce back or bet on Max Verstappen to pull away, it’ll be quite the race at Interlagos. You’ll find the odds on F1 getting tighter as the end of the seasons looms and the pressure on both drivers increases. 

4. Boris Johnson Resigning

With an avalanche of scandals sweeping down Mount Politics into his face. Boris Johnson may not lead the tories into the next election. You certainly wouldn’t bet on the Conservatives to win one now. Sure, a bet on the Labour Party under Starmer looks laughable, but it’s not as bad as just how corrupt the Tories look these days. So, the odds on Boris Johnson resigning at online betting sites in the UK like Bet365 make it one of the best bets this weekend. Or at least the most optimistic.

5. Trump Winning The 2024 US Election

Okay, so perhaps not the best bet this weekend but if the world is going to go to hell in a handcart you may as well profit. Online bookies in the UK like Bet365 have slashed their odds on Donald Trump winning in 2024. Given the ongoing investigations into his conduct during his last tenure in the White House that’s quite shocking. He’s now only 3/1 to win with Joe Biden riding off into the sunset at 5/1. So hedge your bets and bet on Donald Trump winning just in case he actually does.

6. England Beating Albania

This perhaps ranks as one of the best bets this weekend simply because it’s the easiest. The odds on England winning are massively short. Bet365 have priced a bet on England at just 1/9 whilst a bet on Albania is out at 25/1. Even a draw gets 15/2 and that’s rather parsimonious given precisely how unlikely it is. Naturally, a fair few people will take advantage of UK gambling laws to back England in this match, and the one with San Marino. They just won’t really profit from it.

7. The UK’s Xmas No.1 Hit Single

You’ll find this one of the most popular, and thus best bets this weekend simply because it’s still so far off. The bookies like Bet365 love to put these numbers out there early, but the odds on the Xmas No.1 will shift hugely as we enter December. However, those does mean the current prices give your best returns if you pick the right one. So will it be Ladbaby at 2/1, Adele at 7/2, or current favorites Elton John and Ed Sheeran at 8/13? Only time, and Santa Claus, will tell.
