How to bet on football matches

Whether you’re looking for an excuse to watch a particular match or just want to contribute, betting on football can be a fun and exciting way to enjoy the sport.

The world of football betting can be broken down into two main categories: (1) futures and (2) individual match betting. Both are fairly straightforward, and most major sportsbooks offer a variety of these markets.

Future are self-evident: predicting what will happen in the future. Particularly the distant future. For example, who will win the national title? Who will be the top scorer in the competition? Or who will win the prize for best player of the tournament?

When betting on futures, the best odds are usually available before a match starts. The closer you get to an event, the more the odds will shift. Once a tournament is underway, the futures odds are adjusted based on the ongoing results.

For the person who doesn’t like waiting for a futures bet and seeing their money tied up, then match betting might be something for you. Betting on individual matches, or even specific aspects of a match, can be especially fun, as it gives fans a reason to watch, engage and take a passionate interest in an outcome in a match that might otherwise not be so would be interesting.

Fans can bet on almost anything within a given match: from the final score to the number of goals scored, who will score the goals and how many cards each team will receive.

Individual match betting can be difficult because while the cream usually rises to the top over a larger sample size (such as a full season in the case of a futures bet), each standalone game can see a random series of chaotic outcomes. That’s sports.
