AUGUST 2025 – SPORTS BETTING PICKS
August doesn’t ease you in — it throws you straight into the deep end. Europe’s top leagues roar back into action with the Premier League, Bundesliga, Serie A and La Liga all kicking off, while the UEFA qualifiers heat up as clubs chase a place in Europe’s elite.
Across the pond, MLB gears up for its playoff push, while NFL pre-season gets underway and college football returns to the spotlight late in the month — bringing pageantry, rivalries, and some early betting value.
Our betting previews are live daily — dive in, check the stats, and find the value before you have a flutter.
Looking for a trusted place to bet? Take a peek at our European Bookmaker and Offshore Sportsbook reviews — no gimmicks, just honest takes on bookies we’ve tried and tested ourselves.
