It is probably safe to say that football is the most popular sport in the UK and most likely in 💸 the world. In addition to being a fantastic sport to watch, football brings with it amazing betting opportunities that only 💸 serve to make the game even more exciting. Here at mr.play Sports, we do our best to bring you everything 💸 that you could possibly need to bet on football. We cover all of the major leagues and tournaments, such as 💸 the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A and Bundesliga, as well as the lower leagues, such as League One. Regardless 💸 of which football match or league you are interested in, you will find hundreds of betting markets available with truly 💸 competitive odds.
Football Betting Odds Explained
When you look at a football match that you wish to bet on, you may find 💸 it slightly overwhelming due to the vast number of different betting markets that are on offer. However, it doesn’t actually 💸 take very long to get to grips with the different types of markets and their associated odds, and once you 💸 have done so, the betting possibilities are almost limitless.
Football Betting Markets
Whether you are betting on the Premier League, the FA 💸 Cup, the World Cup, the Champions League, La Lia, or anything other match or tournament, there are broadly speaking two 💸 types of betting markets. There are Game Odds, which is where you find all the markets relating to an individual 💸 match, and Outrights, which is where you find the markets that deal with the overall results of a league or 💸 tournament, such as who will win, be relegated/promoted, reach the final, and so on.
The bulk of the markets are listed 💸 under Game Odds. The most straightforward market is the 1X2 Full Time; this is simply a bet on a team 💸 to win or the match to end in a draw. Another very simple market is the Total Goals; this allows 💸 you to bet on there being more or less than a certain number of goals in a match. In order 💸 to enjoy additional competitive betting opportunities, many people turn to the Asian Handicap markets. Depending on the strength of each 💸 team, a handicap is issued for the game to make the odds for each side more similar. These bets can 💸 take a little getting used to, but they are very much worth investing some time in.
However, for any given match 💸 there are far more markets than these available. In general, the markets are split into a number of categories such 💸 as Main, Goals, Halves, Corners, Period, Players, Specials, and Cards, and under each category, you will find the markets pertaining 💸 to that aspect of the game. For instance, under Cards there are markets such as Total Team Bookings Over/Under, First 💸 Booking, and Player Cards. Under Players, there are markets such as Goalscorer and Player Props (Total Assists, To Score from 💸 Outside the Box, To Score a Header, etc.). By exploring all of these carefully, you will find that you can 💸 turn every minute of a football match into a bet winning opportunity.
Football Outright Markets
The Outright markets are perfect for those 💸 who want to take a broader view of a league or a tournament. They allow you to bet on specific 💸 teams to win tournaments or leagues, and also to lose tournaments or be relegated from a league. The markets are 💸 of course updated as a tournament/season progresses, and this can present a number of exciting betting opportunities. For example, if 💸 you believe a team is about to knock the favourites out of a tournament and go on to win it, 💸 then you will probably find some very generous odds. You can also bet on things such as Top 4 finishing 💸 teams, Top Goalscorer, Not to Be Relegated and More.
Football In-Play Betting
Watching a match with a few bets riding on it 💸 is hugely exciting, but being able to bet on a match as it takes place takes this excitement to an 💸 entirely new level. This is the purpose of in-play betting and it brings you many more opportunities to win. At 💸 mr.play Sports we offer in-play betting on thousands of football matches from leagues and tournaments around the world. The markets 💸 allow you to respond in real time to what you are watching and take advantage of betting opportunities as they 💸 arise. While you can place full time bets, such as match winner, in-play betting comes into its own with the 💸 Next To bets. You can bet on things like the Next To Score, if there will be an event such 💸 as goal, corner, free-kick, goal-kick or throw-in, in the next minute, the next penalty, the next foul, and so on. 💸 By keeping a close eye on the action and the changing betting markets, you have the chance to spot some 💸 fantastic betting opportunities.
Football Leagues and Tournaments
Today there are a huge number of football leagues and tournaments taking place throughout the 💸 world. In the UK, there are four professional leagues, the Premier League, the Championship, League One and League Two, and 💸 at mr.play Sport you will find betting markets on all of these. You can also bet on major tournaments such 💸 as the FA Cup, the FA Community Shield, the EFL Cup, the EFL Trophy, and more.
Of course, we cover far 💸 more than UK football here at mr.play Sports and you will find similar coverage of football in countries such as 💸 Germany, Spain, Italy, France, the US, and more. We cover all major international tournaments including the Champions League, the Europa 💸 League, the Euro, World Cup, etc. In short, no matter what you are interested in, we are confident we have 💸 it covered.
