I can’t pretend to have checked out all the Betting Forums / Communities that are out there. Frankly life is too short.
However, the one UK Betting Forum I regularly visit is Punters Lounge.
Punters Lounge Betting Forum

I’ve been a member of Punters Lounge for many years. The site is free and I think it’s a great resource. They have a wide range of topics and despite it being a UK Betting Forum there is worldwide coverage: –
- Betting Competitions
- Racing
- General Sports
- Tennis
- Darts
- Snooker
- Cricket
- Formula One
- Boxing
- Golf
- NBA / Basketball
- NFL
- MLB / Baseball
- Rugby League
- Rugby Union
- NHL / Ice Hockey
- plus other lower profile sports
- UK & Ireland Football (covering most leagues including Non-League)
- European Football (multiple competitions, countries and leagues)
- International Football
- Scandinavian Football
- Africa & Middle East Football
- North & South American Football
- Asia & Australian Football
- Women’s Football
- Personal Quests
- Bookie Chat
As you’d expect with such a wide coverage, some forums are more active than others. However, there are some very knowledgeable contributors and I highly recommend it
I also reference one of the contributors to Punters Lounge in the Tipsters section
