The football bet seen and used the most is on the match result or 90 minutes result. This is also known as the “WLD” which means Win Lose Draw, “1×2″ being the pool notation for home win, draw and away win.
Another method is the Full Time Result. In this case, many punters put several matches together in a football accumulator, making an attempt to predict the outcome of them all. So do not be greedy because the last one that you put in often will let you down.
Now, usually, football bets are based on what actually goes on in normal time. That is of course excluding all extra time and penalties however including injury time. This is also known as the 90 minutes result; that is, when the whistle is heard after an hour and a half and also at injury time.
Sometimes called under/over bets, typically this is a two option bet on whether there will be more or less than the number of goals that have been quoted. Usually this bet is more or less than 2.5 goals however oftentimes you will see many variations like 0.5,1.5,3.5 and 4.5.
Correct Score bet is predicting the score at the end of normal time. Scores are quotes so just make sure to check so you do not get things twisted.
There are a plethora of possible scorelines for a match so the odds might be quite high however also the chances of winning become lowered. Many times the odds that are offered by bookmakers on this market are not as competitive as some of the other bets so while a fun bet; it is usually not a wise investment.
Another hot football bet is Asian Handicap Betting. This is a very popular football bet. Each team receives a goals handicap and then you bet on the match result after the handicap. Because of the variations and the different types of handicaps, this can at first appear confusing. However there are good value bets to be found as the bookies margins are often much lower than in normal full time betting markets. We have devoted a complete lesson to understanding Asian Handicaps. As implied by the name this bet combines the original scorer (of a football match) with the correct score, usually known as a ‘scorecast‘. This is quite popular with bookies as it is well-known people rarely win on it.
