It’s May, and the football calendar is about to reset. So, what are other people betting on, and where can you find value for your money if you want to keep the excitement going? As always, we’ve got you covered. Stay with us as we guide you to the best betting opportunities in the club football offseason. **The WNBA** The NBA season is wrapping up with the Boston Celtics making their 2nd final in 3 years, aiming for a record 18th title. To claim a first title since 2008, they’ll face the Dallas Mavericks, who are going for their 2nd title in a final packed with storylines. But even with the NBA ending next month, there’s still plenty of basketball to bet on. The WNBA has exploded in popularity since Caitlin Clark joined. While the league has always had talent, it hasn’t matched the men’s popularity, but now, it’s beginning to attract lots of eyeballs. Caitlin Clark is one of the best players to set foot on a basketball court and she’s bringing unprecedented excitement to women’s basketball. Last year, her popularity even led to the NCAA women’s tournament surpassing the men’s in viewership for the first time ever. Now that she’s in the WNBA, the league is growing. BetKing isn’t left out of this excitement, and we have multiple betting offers for all WNBA games. A key betting tip to note: while Caitlin Clark is an amazing player, she’s on the worst team in the WNBA (the Indiana Fever), because that’s how American sports works - the worst teams get to draft the best players. So, it’s smarter to bet on her individual markets rather than her team’s.

**Over/Under on Corners in Football** One market that’s becoming more popular with bettors is the corner market. Corners happen often, which means constant action and excitement during a match. Since the scoreline doesn’t affect this market much, it’s one of the easier ones to hit. However, like any bet, it still requires some research. Looking at historical data and team tactics can give you valuable insights for better bets. For instance, in the just concluded English Premier League season, Liverpool and Manchester City averaged the most corners per game with 7.3 and 7.2, respectively. Manchester United and Sheffield United gave away the most corners per game with 7.2 and 6.9. Also, 95% of Man Utd’s games had over 8.5 corners, with Luton Town and Spurs close behind at 87%. Wolves and West Ham were at the bottom, with only 58% and 61% of their games hitting over 8.5 corners. Using data like this helps you make informed decisions to get the best value on your corner bets. With EURO 2024 coming up, you can use these tips on BetKing as we offer the best odds for markets like these.
**Tennis Markets** Tennis is really catching on with our online betting crowd, and with the French Open happening right now, it’s the perfect time to dive in. But there are a few things to keep in mind. Like any sport, tennis has its surprises. In women’s tennis, upsets happen about four times more often than in men’s tennis because rankings don’t always show true ability—they reflect current form and availability. Take Naomi Osaka, for example. She’s an amazing player, and one of the best on the planet. Some might go as far as calling her a top 10 player in the world. I know I would. However, she took over a year off to have a baby and now, she’s ranked 134th, which doesn’t really match her skill level. Without knowing this, you might wrongly bet against her just based on her ranking. So, how do you guarantee wins in tennis despite these uncertainties? The safest bet is to focus on games. Our favourites are betting on games in the first set when both players are still fully charged. Betting Over 7.5 games or over 8.5 games are some of our best recommendations. Betting “Over 7.5 games” simply means you’re betting that more than 7.5 games will be played in a set. This type of bet targets individual sets instead of the whole match. For example, if you bet “Over 7.5 games” for the first set, you’re just concerned with the number of games in that set. This bet is popular because you just need the set to be fairly competitive. It doesn’t matter who wins the set or the match, just that the set has more than 7.5 games. While these odds might not be the highest, they are the safest.
**MLS** For people who simply enjoy betting on football and nothing more, the MLS has been the go-to league recently. Lionel Messi has continued his dominance from last season into this one. When he joined Inter Miami last year, they were at the bottom of the Eastern Conference. In his 14 appearances across all competitions in the U.S., Messi led them to 8 victories, 4 draws (including three cup matches won in penalty shootouts), scored 11 goals, and provided 5 assists, helping them win the Leagues Cup. This season, with his friends Luis Suarez, Jordi Alba, and Sergio Busquets joining him, the team has improved significantly. They’re now at the top of the Eastern Conference and are favourites to win it all. Individually, Messi has 12 goals and 11 assists in just 13 games across all competitions. Bonkers! Aside from Lionel Messi and Inter Miami, the MLS is a dream for bettors who love betting on the “overs” for total goals scored. This season, only one team, Charlotte FC, averages below 2 total goals per game. The other 28 teams consistently produce over 2 total goals per game, with 15 of them hitting 3 or more.
