Football Betting Markets Guide
Football has the widest market range of any sport on the exchange, and the differences between those markets matter more than the teams involved.
1X2 and the draw
Three outcomes rather than two makes the draw a genuine third position. In low-scoring leagues the draw is often underpriced by casual bettors.
Over/under goals
Goal lines are set at 2.5, 3.5 and so on. These markets depend far more on team style and league scoring rates than on which side is stronger.
Asian handicap
Handicaps remove the draw by giving one side a goal start. Quarter-goal lines split your stake across two lines, which reduces variance.
In-play considerations
A red card or an early goal reprices everything instantly. As in cricket, a delayed video feed is a structural disadvantage.
Frequently asked questions
What does -0.25 mean?
Half your stake is on the level line and half on -0.5, so a draw returns half your stake and loses the other half.
Do corners markets settle on extra time?
Usually no — most settle on ninety minutes plus stoppage time only.
