We’ll start by explaining how to understand soccer odds.
Soccer Odds Explained
Here are examples of soccer moneyline odds, Asian handicaps and match totals:
Soccer Moneyline Odds:
- Example: Chelsea (-165) / Draw (+310) / Brentford (+425)
In soccer betting, the moneyline includes a draw. What you need to know is when the odds are negative (-), the number is how much you need to bet to win $100 (Bet $165 to Win $100 on Chelsea). If the odds are positive (+), the number is how much you’ll win on a $100 bet (Bet $100 to Win $425 on Brentford).
Soccer Asian Handicap Odds:
- Example: Chelsea -1 (+100) vs. Brentford +1 (-140)
Asian handicaps are the same as point spreads in the NFL and NBA. In our example, Chelsea -1 means they need to win by two or more goals for the bet to win. If Chelsea wins by one goal, the bet is a push and your stake is returned. Brentford +1 bets will win if they win or draw the match.
Soccer Match Total Odds:
- Example: Over 2.5 Goals (-120) vs. Under 2.5 Goals (+100)
Match totals are over/under wagers on how many goals both teams will score. If both teams combine to score three or more goals, the over will win. If both teams combine to score two or fewer goals, the under will win. If a match total is set at three goals and exactly three goals are scored, the bet is a push.
Once you understand these odds, you’ll have a foundation for understanding all betting markets.
Soccer Betting Tips and Strategies for Beginners
Here are some beginning tips and strategies to help you become a better soccer bettor:
Soccer Betting Markets:
With soccer, it’s imperative to learn about all of the different markets to bet on. There are hundreds of ways to bet on a soccer match. In many cases, getting creative will provide you with a bigger edge (+EV) on your soccer best bets. There are successful bettors that target a single market, such as corners (over/under), but that’s not recommended if you’re new.
Soccer Betting Trends:
There are lots of useful soccer betting trends. For example, there are some soccer leagues known for scoring (Eredivisie) and targeting overs or both teams to score (BTTS) offers excellent value. Tracking trends will help you identify soccer best bets.
Soccer Statistics:
Becoming familiar with soccer stats and metrics will improve your betting. We recommend learning how advanced soccer statistics work, such as expected goals (xG), per 90 stats (goals, assists, shots, etc.), expected points (xP), xGChain, xOVA and xGoT.
How does soccer betting work?
The easiest way to bet on a soccer match is the moneyline (1×2) market. There are three options to bet on (home team win, draw or away team win). Starting with moneyline bets is great for beginners, but our soccer experts also recommend learning about all of the popular soccer betting markets. In matches that feature two teams similar in talent, alternate betting markets typically offer the best value.
How do -0.25/+0.25 Asian handicaps work?
Some Asian handicaps aren’t standard and are harder to understand. On a -0.25 Asian handicap bet, the bet will win if the team wins and lose if the team loses. If the match ends in a draw, you’ll lose half of your bet (stake amount). If you bet on a +0.25 Asian handicap, the bet will win if the team wins and lose if the team loses. If the match ends in a draw, you’ll win half of the bet. If you bet $100 on a +0.25 handicap at +100 odds and the match draws, you’ll win $50 profit (half).
Can I bet on the next World Cup winner?
The FIFA World Cup is bet on by millions of soccer fans every four years. World Cup winner futures are released years before the tournament begins. The odds will fluctuate based on how international teams are performing leading up to the tournament. You can bet on the next World Cup winner now.
What are the most popular soccer leagues to bet on?
There are dozens of professional soccer leagues around the world. Most countries have professional soccer leagues to bet on. However, the most popular soccer leagues to bet on in the United States are the Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A, Ligue 1, MLS and Liga MX.
How much money is bet on soccer?
Soccer betting has massive volume around the world. While there’s no way to track exactly how much money is bet on soccer, it’s estimated that over $150 billion is bet on soccer annually. During years with the World Cup that number more than doubles, as it’s estimated $160 billion is bet on the World Cup.
