Football Betting Odds Explained

When you look at a football match that you wish to bet on, you may find it 👏 slightly overwhelming due to the vast number of different betting markets that are on offer. However, it doesn’t actually take 👏 very long to get to grips with the different types of markets and their associated odds, and once you have 👏 done so, the betting possibilities are almost limitless.

Football Betting Markets

Whether you are betting on the Premier League, the FA Cup, 👏 the World Cup, the Champions League, La Lia, or anything other match or tournament, there are broadly speaking two types 👏 of betting markets. There are Game Odds, which is where you find all the markets relating to an individual match, 👏 and Outrights, which is where you find the markets that deal with the overall results of a league or tournament, 👏 such as who will win, be relegated/promoted, reach the final, and so on.

The bulk of the markets are listed under 👏 Game Odds. The most straightforward market is the 1X2 Full Time; this is simply a bet on a team to 👏 win or the match to end in a draw. Another very simple market is the Total Goals; this allows you 👏 to bet on there being more or less than a certain number of goals in a match. In order to 👏 enjoy additional competitive betting opportunities, many people turn to the Asian Handicap markets. Depending on the strength of each team, 👏 a handicap is issued for the game to make the odds for each side more similar. These bets can take 👏 a little getting used to, but they are very much worth investing some time in.
