Not to mention, with 2026 being a World Cup year, there are also footballing events to place bets on, too. Let\u2019s take a look at exactly what\u2019s on this summer, and how you can take advantage of it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Horse Racing<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If there is one sport that you can rely on being frequently held throughout the summer, it&#8217;s horse racing. While other sports may come and go, horse racing events are held every single day throughout the season, and it is known as one of the most consistent ways to use matched betting. If you want to know more about matched betting in this sport, we have a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oddsmonkey.com\/blog\/matched-betting\/horse-racing-matched-betting-guide\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">horse racing matched betting guide<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> available, full of tips and useful strategies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bookmakers typically love to ramp up their offers and bonus terms for big races, and there will be plenty of opportunities for these offers to be used alongside matched betting in the summer. Here are some of the key horse racing events taking place this summer:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Royal Ascot\u00a0 (16th &#8211; 20th June)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Goodwood Races (28th July &#8211; 1st August)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With there being racing available every day, these headline events are scattered throughout the summer, and they are the best opportunity for matched betting, due to the offers that will be available.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Football<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite the club football leagues ending for the summer break, 2026 is the year of the FIFA World Cup, and this one is bigger than ever, with a record-breaking 48 teams taking part. Due to the enlarged roster, there are more games than ever, making it the perfect opportunity for matched betting scenarios.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FIFA World Cup (11th June &#8211; 19th July)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the Final being played on the 19th of July in New York, the FIFA World Cup is a great opportunity for matched betting due to the number of offers available. If you are interested in this type of betting, we have a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oddsmonkey.com\/blog\/matched-betting\/football-matched-betting-guide\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">football matched betting guide<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which can be used alongside both club and international football.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tennis<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tennis is another sport that can be used for matched betting, with Grand Slam events and ATP 1000 events being held frequently throughout the summer. With the Roland Garros tournament being held in May, there are two other Grand Slam tournaments to pay attention to in the upcoming months.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wimbledon (29th June &#8211; 12th July)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">US Open (30th August &#8211; 13th September)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As these are some of the biggest events in the sport, it is no surprise that bookmakers will put out offers when these are ongoing. Look out for free bets and price boosts, especially when getting to the latter stages of the tournaments.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are new to tennis betting, or just want a refresher, then make sure to check out our <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oddsmonkey.com\/blog\/matched-betting\/tennis-betting-markets\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tennis betting guide<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which is full of advice and guidance on how tennis works when it comes to betting. With two huge Grand Slams taking place over the summer, tennis is a great sport to be part of your summer matched betting strategy.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Golf<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whilst Golf might not come to mind straight away when you think of matched betting, it can be the perfect opportunity to place matched bets, especially when the majors come around. Two big tournaments in golf take place in the summer, which are:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">US Open (June 18th -21st)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Open Championship (July 16th &#8211; 19th)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Similar to the tennis Grand Slams, these events attract huge attention from bookmakers, which means more free bet offers, boots and extra places. If you have not taken part in golf matched betting before, then the majors are a good starting point, as the markets are large, liquidity is strong, and plenty of offers are made available. Not only can golf be used for matched betting, but it is also popular in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oddsmonkey.com\/matched-betting\/value-betting\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">value betting<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Casino Offers<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Matched betting doesn\u2019t always have to involve sporting events, and this is where casino offers come into play. Casino offers are ideal during the summer months as they do not rely on any schedule, meaning they can be done in your own time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whilst casino offers might not be as popular as sports matched betting, it is still another technique that you can use in your matched betting strategy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Summer Matched Betting Tips and Tricks<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You might be wondering why the summer is such a standout when it comes to matched betting, and there are plenty of reasons this season is one of the best times for matched betting, which include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More sporting events<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Different types of sports<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A variety of offers are available<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Popular bookmakers are creating offers for major events<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As there are so many major events taking place throughout the summer, this time of year is a great period to place matched betting guides.
