Now a multi-million dollar internet business, broadcasting football over the internet via a live online stream is more popular than ever before.
Advances in technology have contributed to the growth of the free football streams industry and football prediction fans now have a range of websites to choose from.
With so many places to watch football for free, competition is fierce but StreamEast is one of the biggest websites around, following in the footsteps of Sportlemon and other pioneer streaming pages.
Many football streaming websites offer a mobile live stream service now, with many users now preferring to watch football for free on the move rather than accessing a desktop stream.
On some occasions, it is just not possible to watch a major sports betting event via the more traditional means of television and watching online sport on the internet is the only option.
Many football streaming websites, including Totalsportek and Ronaldo7, will ask for users to register or pay a monthly subscription service. Others are free, providing the website can function through advertising.
Some social networks have also stared to get involved with the online football streaming industry, with the chance to watch live sport through Facebook and Twitter.
One of the main problems encountered when watching live sport online is location, with many events limited to certain regions.
