If you've ever gambled on sports or horse races, you'll know that there are many different sorts of bets you may make. Contrary to popular belief among novice bettors, your wager does not have to be on who will win the match or race. Soccer wagering is no exception.
There are a variety of bets available, and you may pick and select the ones you prefer and are confident in. Without further ado, let us look at the many sorts of popular soccer bets.
Moneyline – This is one of the simplest and most popular type of bet for soccer games. Bettors simply have to bet on which team will win or whether it will be a draw. So essentially you choose from the three options – home team, away team or draw.
Single – Another simple, straightforward type of soccer bet where you simply have to predict the score line. The odds for a single are usually fantastic – It means that the amount of money you bet on a single will be multiplied several fold and you can reap good profits should you get the score line right.
Multiple – This bet is also referred to as Combo or Parley. As the name suggests, this is a type of bet where multiple bets are combined into one and the return value of such a bet is usually much higher than if you were to take the different bets by themselves independently.
Accumulator – A multiple bet where there are four or more bets bundled together is known as an accumulator. To win an accumulator, you need to win all bets within the accumulator individually.
Under/Over – This is a popular type of bet when it comes to soccer betting where you just need to predict whether the total number of goals scored in the match will either be under or over a certain number. For example, if you take a bet of “over 2” and the score line at the final whistle is 2 – 2, then you win since there were a total of 4 goals during the course of the game as you rightly predicted.
Correct score – This is where you accurately predict the score line at the end of 90 minutes (no extra time play/ penalty shootout goals will be counted into this type of bet).
First Goal – Another highly popular type of bet where you need to predict which team will score the first goal of the game.
Halftime – You can bet on the score line at the end of the first 45 minutes.
Halftime / Fulltime – A pair of bets where you will have to rightly predict the score line at the end of the first 45 minutes and at the end of 90 minutes to win.
First goal scorer – You need to predict which player will score the first goal
Last goal scorer – You need to predict which player will score the last goal
Anytime goal scorer – just pick a player, and if he or she happens to score at any point during the game, you win.
Score Cast – A pair of bets which includes the first goal scorer and the score line at the end of 90 minutes. You need to get both correct to win the Score Cast bet.
