Football

We’re getting our results by taking into account the odds for final result outcomes measured in line with the total goals scored for different football leagues. By getting the average results using this method, we were able to obtain the margins for each league and also the overall betting margin for the bookmaker.

21.co.uk has an overall margin of 6.92% for football and falls in the average value category. In the first section using odds from the Premier League, the margin is at 7.45%. The second section with Spanish La Liga and Italian Serie A, the margin is at 6.03%. Finally, by counting the English Football League One, Austrian Bundesliga and Polish Ekstraklasa into account, the margin is at 7.27%.

21.co.uk was originally focused on its casino services, but they have launched an impressive sportsbook recently. There are over 30 different sports to bet on at 21.co.uk, and this only means that bettors have a great range of betting options to choose from. From football to politics, there is something for every punter and the number of markets for popular sports such as football, horse racing, tennis or cricket is purely impressive.

Football betting

Football gets a lot of coverage here at 21.co.uk and we can see that straight when accessing the website for the first time. The most important football leagues are listed in the first tabs of the home page, with a special tab to the English football leagues and followed by a secondary tab with the European football which includes the likes of La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, Eredivisie, Ligue 1, etc. Furthermore, the 21.co.uk customers can place quick bets on each league by selecting a specific market for all matches with just one click. The market depth for every football match is amazing as there are over 280 betting markets available for a typical Premier League fixture. Punters will be able to bet on the common markets like match result, over/under goals, both teams to score, and also on complex markets such as Player Specials or Scorecast/Wincast.

Horse racing

Surprisingly, 21.co.uk offers an excellent horse racing section despite the fact they don’t have greyhound racing within its offer. The horse racing section can be accessed from the homepage by clicking on the little icon with a horse on it or by using the ‘All Sports’ menu. Inside this section, bettors will be able to see the ‘Next Off’ meetings, today’s meetings and Ante-post bets. By clicking on a meeting, customers can see all the horses participating in that specific race as well as info about the jockey, the recent form and the previous odds.

Unfortunately, you won’t be able to watch live streams for the races as 21.co.uk doesn’t provide its clients with this service yet. Furthermore, we haven’t seen the ‘Best Odds Guaranteed’ promotion on this website, which many other bookies have within their offer.

Betting limits: According to their website, 21.co.uk reserve the right to limit the net payout on any bet or combination of bets by one Account Holder at €100,000. This limit may be lower depending on the specific sport, league and type of bet offer.

First of all, it comes as a surprise to see that 21.co.uk didn’t highlight their live betting section on the homepage as you need to click on the left-hand side drop-down menu to find this section. On a busy day you will be able to see at least 10 different sports available to place in-play bets including football, tennis, cricket, baseball, ice hockey and even eSports. In addition, most of the live events have plenty of helpful statistics that may help you place a more accurate in-play bet. Furthermore, we have been pleasantly surprised to see the availability of the Fast Markets option.

However, 21.co.uk should be looking to make improvements when it comes to live streaming, as there are no live streams available for any sport.
