10 Tips for Making a Good News Today Even Better
-
Football is considered to bring the world together, whether a nation is rich or poor. It is the game which transcends race, religion or other differences; it never ceases to astonish me how many people around the world get pleasure from this game. A country getting into the World Cup finals is like a dream come true and it is the response to the efforts made by the players.

Its tournaments are held by members of Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA). It was 1930, when the first Tournament was held; most of the countries as Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Chile, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, and United States showed interest for the game tournament. Brazil, Germany, Italy and Uruguay are the major 4 teams who have played most finals, with their score approximately between 4, 3, and 2.
The final tournament featured 24 teams and increased to 32 in 1998, allowing more teams from Asia and North America to take part. Brazil still upholds the history for among the 4 teams who have played most finals and is honored for its achievement; Italy, Germany, France and England played for all the tournament finals and won 4 cups.
Since 1930 till now, every nation in the world has given their best players and the best teams other than these 4 who have played most world cup finals. Such tournaments are held every four years; the game was not played in 1942-1946 due to World War II. The popularity of the major tournament has increased with each year and consequently, there were more than 92,000 spectators during the last FIFA Event.
As we approach the new season of the English Premier League a lot of us will be placing our bets with our favourite bookmakers - or maybe you just don't know which one to choose for the new campaign?
We're News Today going to look at the 3 most popular betting sites in the UK - and why we think you should and shouldn't use them. In all honesty there isn't a lot of difference between betting sites these days - the market is so competitive each one will latch onto a new marketing strategy or new feature on their website pretty quickly so it's hard to distinguish each betting company. Take a look at our reviews of each one and decide for yourself...
William Hill
William Hill has recently become much more popular in general with football fans and has been one of the most widely respected betting sites for many years. Like most sites you can diversely place your bets on-line at home, from your phone on the go and at any local betting shop (which there are plenty of). William Hill also have live streaming (video and radio) for the events they let you bet on which can be viewed on your laptop or phone. For the UK audience William Hill is definitely a good way to go although if you're eastern European or fancy betting on events in the Eastern European market then Williams Hill does fail on that - they put little effort into these markets and you won't find as much to bet on. They are fully licensed and listed on the London Stock Exchange which makes them a pretty reliable place to go... Basically, you won't get ripped off!
Ladbrokes
Ladbrokes is also another betting powerhouse with a very strong presence in the UK market and very strong brand. Their site layout is very simple as well as their branding. US customers are not permitted to bet by Ladbrokes. Ladbrokes like the other offers mobile, internet, in-house and phone betting again showing the diversity and accessibility of the gambling market. They have over 2,700 betting shops all over Europe which shows you how serious they are as a company - who are also fully licensed. The site is fully secured so you shouldn't feel worried about inputting your bank details to deposit money - or on your phone either. Ladbrokes are one of the leading UK betting sites and we highly recommend joining them if it's your first time betting.
Paddy Power
Paddy Power is also on the rise in the UK - you can recognise Paddy Power from their green branding which is synonymous with Ireland. They originated within Ireland in 1988 and are quite a recent bookmaker but are proving to be ever reliable and trustworthy in the gambling community. They have a quick turnaround in cashing out and display a large variety of betting markets from sports to music and other novelty betting. Live betting is also enabled along with the technology to bet from phone, tablet, or on your laptop. PaddyPower will only accept Euro and GBP due to their strong presence in the UK and Ireland.
So which one is the best?
Like we said - every single one is so similar it's really hard to tell. You may like a certain layout of one of the sites, or the way the app looks on your phone. It is really down to personal preference. Personally I use PaddyPower but that's a force of habit and I've never really looked back since. We recommend signing up to each site and gauging which site you like best in terms of accessibility and layout. Every person looks for different things and Ladbrokes, PaddyPower or William Hill may accommodate that!
