How Can I Use Bet365 Sports Statistics Pack To My Advantage?

Have you had a look at our brand new sports betting section on No Deposit Poker? There’s a lot of great information here about how to go about enjoying some of the best quality sports bets you can find in the UK across a wide range of sites.

Of course if you are already a member of Bet365 through signing up via Bet365 Poker, then you will likely know that you can also access Bet365 Sports through your account. If you haven’t yet joined Bet365 Poker, then click here for the latest Bet365 no deposit bonus details and all the information ou need to sign up.

One thing is sure, if you have a Bet365 account, then you should take a look at the sports betting options on the site and there’s a good reason for this. Perhaps moreso than casino gaming, or even poker, there’s a chance you could turn a small wager into a substantial profit, with a well-judged sports bet.

How can you do this? Well you can always leave it to luck, but if you are more cerebral and prefer a more scientific way to do things when sports betting, then there’s a feature on the Bet365 Sports site you should pay close attention to and that is the Bet365 Stats pack.

What is the Bet365 Stats pack?

Before we explain what the Bet365 Sports statistics package actually is, let’s first explain how to locate it as unless you are already familiar with the software, it is very easy to miss. There are two ways to access the pack.

The first is to scroll to the right hand side of the screen where the Bet Slip is located. Just above the Bet Slip are three small icons, a question mark (Help), a newspaper icon (Bet365 News) and lastly what looks like a bar graph icon. It is this final icon that is the link to Bet365 Stats Pack.

The second option is perhaps a little easier, simply scroll down to the foot of the home page on Bet365 and listed in the links at the foot of the page you will find the middle column links to Form And Stats. Click on the top icon here to bring up the entire Bet365 Stats menu.

Whatever way you choose to access the stats pack, clicking on one of the options will open up the Stats pack in a new pop-up window.

There are essentially two sections to the Stats Pack that you need to learn about. The first is the left hand section which lists all the sports for which Bet365 currently hold statistics.

The second section is the remaining section of the screen, where the key stats for each of the sports listed on the left are displayed. You can use filters and click on different options in this section to dig down into statistics for any of the sports listed.

How do I navigate through the Bet365 Stats pack?

The Stats Pack is best viewed as a series of clicks which filter out information until you are left with the information you want to find out. For example, let’s say that you want to discover the form over the last few games for English Premier League team Manchester United.

Now, the default load screen when you access the Stats pack is for the Premier League, but assuming it wasn’t, you would click on the Soccer option  in the A-Z list on the left. This brings up a sub-menu where you would then select Europe, then Top Countries then England and finally Premier League.

What you will notice is at each step in the process, the section to the right is updated to show the relevant information based on your chosen items. Now you will see the current Premier League table and a form guide and lots of options at the top of the page to click on.

Now we can click on Manchester United for more detailed information about the team. Locate them in the league table and simply click on their name.

This then brings up specific information about Manchester United, including their current league position, recent form (which is what we wanted to find out), results, forthcoming fixtures as well as details about the current Manchester United squad.

However that is not all, you can click on almost any piece of information on screen to find out more about that selected option, or you can use the items at the top of the screen, to bring up a whole host of other statistics pertaining to Manchester United.

The amount of detail contained on the Bet365 Stats pack is therefore huge and it is very easy to become engrossed in checking the data. However that may not be a bad thing if you want to make better bets.

How to use the Bet365 Stats Pack to help you make better judged bets

There’s no guaranteed way to become profitable at sports betting. There’s always a mixture of luck and good judgement required to facilitate a winning bet, but sometimes that good judgement part can be the difference between posting a healthy profit, or seeing your stake disappear into the Bet365 coffers.

Researching your bet, using the Bet365 Stats pack is one simple but effective way to ensure you make better choices when it comes to your betting, than simply leaving it to chance, or one of those ‘hunches’ people get from time to time.

For example, let’s say you fancy placing a bet on the forthcoming Champions League match between Arsenal and Barcelona and your gut instinct is telling you to back Arsenal to win the match at 7/2 with Bet365.

Now what you want to do is back up this judgement with an analysis of the stats. So let’s see what they say.

Checking out the basic Arsenal stats reveals that they look a decent bet. They have won four of their last six home matches, they have the second best record at home in the Premier League this season. So it looks a relatively sound bet, or does it?

Closer examination of the stats reveals, Arsenal’s Champions League form isn’t that great, they have lost three of six matches in the Group Stage including a 3-2 loss at home to Olympiacos.

Furthermore, their opponents Barcelona are now 30 games unbeaten in all competitions, they are unbeaten in the Champions League so far this season and in the last five meetings between the two teams in the competition, Arsenal have won just once, Barcelona winning three and there being a single draw between the teams.

Considering these factors, that bet on an Arsenal win is now looking far less promising and as such, you would then reconsider the options and perhaps place a different bet that had more chance of success, such as backing Both Teams to Score, or perhaps opting to bet on a draw or a Barcelona win.

It is this process which you can go through for all your bets to help you discover whether the bet you plan to make is backed up by the stats, or whether you are just betting blindly in the hope that you will get lucky.
