In today's online sports betting landscape, major betting platforms offer a wide range of odds for each football match. It's common to find over 100 betting options for any given game. Players can choose from various familiar football betting odds such as Asian Handicap, Over/Under, and European Handicap. Additionally, there are other popular betting options like Correct Score and Half Time - Full Time.
To make informed decisions when placing bets, players must understand the meanings of these odds. In this article, we will provide a comprehensive explanation of the most common types of football betting odds.
Asian Handicap
Originating from Asia, the Asian Handicap is now popular worldwide and widely favored by players in Europe as well. Unlike the European Handicap, the Asian Handicap offers only two options, with no draw possibility.
Asian Handicap is a type of handicap bet where, when there is an imbalance between the two teams, the stronger team will have to give a goal advantage to the weaker team. For instance, handicap options could be 1, 1.5, 2 goals, and so on.
Three-Way Bet (1X2)
The Three-Way Bet, also known as 1X2, is one of the most popular and straightforward betting options. In this type of bet, players choose one of the three possible outcomes: Home Team (1) Win, Draw (X), or Away Team (2) Win. Players win if their selected outcome is correct; otherwise, they lose the bet. This type of bet is often seen in traditional European football betting.
Double Chance
Double Chance is a relatively simple type of bet where players select two out of three possible outcomes to increase their chances of winning. Naturally, the odds will be lower compared to betting on a single outcome.
The betting options for Double Chance are as follows:
1 or X: Bet on the Home Team to win or draw.
1 or 2: Bet on the Home Team or the Away Team to win.
X or 2: Bet on a draw or the Away Team to win.
Over/Under (Total Goals)
In Over/Under betting, players wager on the total number of goals scored by both teams in a match. The bookmaker will set a predicted number of goals, and players can bet on whether the actual number of goals will be higher (Over) or lower (Under) than the given prediction.
Over/Under betting is not limited to total goals; players can also bet on other statistics such as total cards, total corners, etc., in various sports like tennis and basketball.
Both Teams to Score (BTTS)
The Both Teams to Score bet allows players to wager on whether both teams will score a goal (Yes) or not (No) in a match. If both teams score, the "Yes" option wins; otherwise, the "No" option wins.
Draw No Bet
If the Three-Way Bet seems too risky, players can choose the Draw No Bet option. In this type of bet, players select one of the two teams to win. If the match ends in a draw, the bet will be void, and the bookmaker will refund the stake.
Correct Score
Correct Score betting involves predicting the exact final score of a match. Players need to accurately guess the final score to win, making it one of the most challenging types of bets. Players can also bet on Half Time Correct Score or even a combination of Half Time and
Full-Time Correct Score.
These are the most common types of football betting odds that players should know. We hope this comprehensive summary will help players make informed decisions when choosing betting options and achieve successful outcomes.
