The bettingexpert Live app helps punters discover the best in-play tips before placing bets through an integration with bookmaker bet365.

Waddle will be delivering tips via his own bettingexpert Live profile, which users can follow, and a blog on bettingexpert.com where he’ll preview all of England’s games, along with other major fixtures.

The winger won 62 caps for the Three Lions in an international career that included the 1986 and 1990 World Cups, and the 1988 European Championships.

Waddle also played for clubs including Spurs, Sheffield Wednesday, Newcastle United and Marseille, appearing in two FA Cup finals, a League Cup final and winning the French Ligue 1 three times.

He said: “Bettingexpert Live is a fantastic platform, helping fans beat the bookies and I’m excited to help their users find the best in-play tips at Euro 2016.

“It’s going to be a massive summer of football and I’m sure that the app will soon become a must-have for punters looking to gain an edge during the action.”
