Conference Betting

With another competitive season ahead, there is expected to be plenty of activity in Betfair’s Conference betting markets.

Oxford United and Rushden & Diamonds were among the pre-season favourites to win a return to the Football League having suffered relegation last term, but the pair have suffered contrasting early season form.

Jim Smith’s U’s have proved their credentials by setting the early pace and are expected to be heavily backed in the Conference betting. Meanwhile Rushden, who have had previous non-league experience, have endured a tough start to the season and that has prompted a wide range of Conference odds changes in the promotion market.

Newly promoted Weymouth have emerged as surprise top-of-the-table candidates following promotion last season, but a Conference bet on fellow new-boys Northwich reaching League Two will be less than tempting for Betfair punters.

In recent seasons, a surprise package has come from the chasing group to stake their claim for promotion, and many punters will be checking out the odds and making a Conference bet on an outsider in the hope of a winning margin.

There is plenty of time to have a bet as the season only ends in April, with the market likely to see a real fluctuation in Conference odds before then. There will also be the chance of further betting in the end of season play-offs.

But whatever your selection for Conference betting, make sure that Betfair is the place you visit as your best option and don’t forget your Conference free bet.
