Messaging
Remember it's soccer, and anything can happen. Leicester City were 5,000 -1 to win the league in 2016. No one would have predicted that !. Betting on soccer should be fun and entertaining and help you enjoy the game even more. Don't bet more than you can afford, do a little homework (soccerbx!) and enjoy your wins and yes even your losses ...make it fun..
What type of Bets can you place on Soccer?
Money line
This is a bet on the outcome of a single game : either you bet a team to win, lose or as Draw. The odds might not be great for say Man City to beat Bournemouth . But you can parlay multiple games to give you a more exciting “return”. Very popular bet in the world of soccer betting. While an anathema in America , 1/4 of all games end in a draw. Don’t be afraid to bet it.
Goals Scored (over under)
A few options here. Bet how many goals your team will score. How many goals will be scored in the entire game. The Sportsbook will set a number for goals for a game. Brighton v Leicester: 4 goals. Bet there will be more than 4, (the over) and you win. If it's less than 4 you lose. Equally if you bet the “under” ie there will be less that 4 goals and there are less: you win. if if more that 4 you lose.
If it’s exactly 4 its a "push" and you get your money back .
Parlays/ Teaser
Very popular bet , better odds , Basically you bet on the outcome of several games (or events) in a sort of roll up. Harder to win though.
Spread
How much will the favorite “win by” 1, 2, 5 goals. Example Sportsbooks , say Man City will win by more than 3 goals against Villa . Man City the big favorite. You either agree or disagree. (Villa actually tied 1-1) you beat the spread if you bet Villa.
Double Result
You can bet on the score at Halftime and the Final score at the same time. United to be winning at Half Time and Full Time. Or losing at halt time and drawing full time.
Prop Bets
Bets offered in inside the game. Who scores first (player or team), time of first goal, number of corners etc.
Same Game
Parlays Player Props , mix and match bets for better odds. Which player will score first , how many shots on goal will there be.
Bet on Future Games / Tournaments
Who will win the World Cup in Qatar., The FA Cup, MLS Cup , Champions League etc.
In Game Live Betting
Becoming one of the most popular ways to bet and to increase the interest in a game your watching on TV/Streaming. Could be “next team to score”. "will there be another goal before halftime”. Sportsbooks can get very creative. Might liven up even the dullest game.
