Football Football Basics
The Result
A simple bet on whether team A will win, team B will win or a match will be drawn.
The Double Result
Otherwise known as half-time/full-time betting. Nine different outcomes are are quoted; home side leading at half-time home side leading at full-time, home-draw, home away, draw-home, draw-away, draw-draw, away-away, away-draw and away-home. Worse value than straight match result betting and little, if any, more scientific.
The Correct Score
Great for bookmakers when there is a freak result.
Asian Handicaps
Originated in Asia, where the punting culture is for bets to be as close to even money as possible. Often the best value method of betting on a football team.
The Scorecast
Favoured by those who want a big return for a small outlay. A combination of a certain player to score the first goal and a particular scoreline.
Draw No Bet
Each team is shorter than on normal match betting but the punter gets his money back if it is a stalemate.
Over/Under
Punters must guess whether a match will produce fewer or more than 2.5 goals.
Football Bookies Tip
Bookies offer regular, great value specials which you would be daft to ignore. Some bookies for example, refund all losing correct score and first scorer bets in matches that end goaless. Some try to exploit this by backing each team to win 1-0 rather than back fewer than two goals, knowing they will be reimbursed if the match ends without a goal.
