With TIPS JUST IN, We’ve got you covered. We’ll show you HOW TO BET! like a pro.  But first, how about a quick recap of the various markets you’ll be placing your bets on from our DAILY TIPS!

Let’s get familiar, Shall we? Here we go…

Football is the world’s most popular sport. This is why it is critical for you, the punter, to be familiar with all of the important elements of the football markets.

The large volume of matches has aided the industry’s growth and expanded the number of markets available to bettors, with many betting companies providing unique promotions and attractive odds.

Here, we’ll walk you through all you need to know about football betting so you can cut through the market complexity.

Odds are established by a bookmaker and reflect the ratio of the stake to the potential profit on a certain result, should you want to wager on it. They are often expressed as fractions (e.g., 2/1), but may sometimes be expressed as decimals (2.00), and you can choose which to use.

AN OVERVIEW OF HOW BETTING WORKS

Every day of the week, there are hundreds of football events and markets to wager on. Bookmakers will provide odds on the result of matches and specific match events, such as the number of goals scored, corners won, red and yellow cards shown, and individual goal scorers.

Numerous bookies will offer unique promotions and competitive odds in an attempt to provide you with the greatest value bet. Once the result of the event is determined and your bet is declared a win, you will be reimbursed your initial investment plus any profits generated by the odds.

We’ll walk you through the most common types of football wagers below.

Match Bet 

The match bet is the simplest type of football betting since it just involves selecting the outcome of a football match. You may wager on a home team’s victory, an away team’s victory, or a tie. It’s critical to remember that match bets are settled on the result after 90 minutes, which means that if the scores are equal after 90 minutes, the draw is the winning bet, regardless of the outcome after extra time or penalties.

Bet Builder 

Although bet builders are a relatively new addition to the world of football betting, their popularity has soared in recent years. Occasionally referred to as same game multiples, these wagers are essentially an accumulator of the results of a single match rather than a series of matches.

These wagers are clearly less likely to win due to the high number of possible outcomes. They are, however, ideal if you are familiar with both sides and want to put modest stakes on the larger odds available by combining several outcomes, such as the number of yellow cards, corners, and goal scorers, rather than betting on each individual market.

Additionally, you may add player props in bet builders, as explained below. Player props are increasingly gaining popularity as a standalone type of betting.

Player stats / Props 

This is a method of demonstrating how the football betting market has evolved over time via the publication of an extensive collection of markets for different Premier League and international matches. This is distinct from the goal scoring or card markets, and includes the option to wager on players’ shots, tackles, and even offside.

Additionally, some bookies provide prop markets for particular teams, such as free kicks, goal kicks, and throw-ins in specific contests. What is on offer varies significantly across bookmakers.

Several bookies utilise these bets to provide enhanced odds to players, but you should exercise caution when placing these wagers, since football can be very unpredictable.

Next manager and Next New Signing of Players

Various bookmakers will provide unique odds on specific off-field activities. Popular markets include Next Manager to be Sacked, which is self-explanatory, and Next Manager, which allows you to wager on candidates for a job vacancy.

Similar markets exist for predicting which club big-name players will join next or for the tournament or division’s top goal scorer, for example, the Premier League Golden Boot. 

In-Play Betting

As the name implies, in-play betting is wagering on an event’s result, such as supporting the next team to score in a match you’re watching on television. Bookmakers provide a variety of markets, including the next goal scorer, which side will win the next corner or throw-in, and which player will get a yellow card next. This is a technique for maximising your thrill of a live match.

FT – Result

Predicting which team will win the match at the conclusion of regulation play.

Asian Handicap

Asian handicaps eliminate the possibility of a tie by assigning a + or – goal handicap to each side. For example, if Team A has a -1.5 handicap against Team B, they must defeat Team B by at least two clear goals.

European handicaps are distinguished from Asian handicaps by the fact that they include a handicap for a tied result.

Half Time – European Handicap

Player To Be Carded

This is a very popular in-play market, with bettors seeking to take advantage of attractive pricing late in the game.

The Player to Be Carded market operates similarly to the Anytime Goal Scorer market, except that instead of supporting a specific player to score, you want them to end up in the referee’s book, either booked or sent off.

If you’re going to dabble in the cards market for a specific fight, it’s a good idea to conduct some research on the referee’s habits and how card-happy he or she is.

Winning Margin

This market, like the last one, adds an intriguing element to the process of predicting a match’s result. Winning Margin is a term that refers to forecasting how many goals one side will win by, with “one goal” being the most common choice.

While this market may seem appealing to more realistic manager’s content with a one-goal advantage, it should be avoided.  

Total Corners

There is considerable variation available in the Total Corners market, with bookmakers frequently offering punters the opportunity to wager on the Exact Number of Corners in a given match, the timing of the First Corner, which team will receive the Most Corners, First Half Corners and Second Half Corners, or, similar to goals, you can wager on corners on an over/under basis. Asian Handicaps are another possibility for corner markets.

Total Cards

This market operates on an over/under basis, which means that if you believe this North London derby will be so delicious that you wager on 5.5 cards or more, you will win if the referee brandishes a total of at least six cards. A booking is worth one point, a straight red is worth two points, and a double yellow card is for a whopping three points, however this may vary according on the bookmaker.

Summary 

Additionally, that range may seem intimidating at first, but will soon become apparent.

There is a great deal of entertainment to be had betting on the hundreds of football games played worldwide – as long as you stick to what you know.

Selecting good-value bets is the most effective strategy for winning money and avoiding the disappointment of a loss.

Now you can contribute to the thrill of football by betting on it.
