Betting on Aston Villa
Villa are strong at home, so check the draw price before backing the favourite. Say a bookmaker offers 1.85 on a Villa home win, 3.80 on the draw and 4.10 on the away win. Those prices imply chances of 54.1%, 26.3% and 24.4%, which total 104.8%, so the margin is 4.8%. A €10 bet on the draw at 3.80 returns €38.00, a €28.00 profit. The prices are illustrative, not a quote. Our guide to how betting odds work walks through the sums.
Before you bet on a Aston Villa match, check for team news, because line-ups are announced about an hour before kick-off and prices often move. Our bet types guide explains markets such as draw no bet and both teams to score, and the free bets guide explains why offers rarely pay what the headline suggests.
