When it comes to
betting in any country, football is one of the most betted on sports, not least
because we are a football fanatical nation with numerous online bookmakers’ donation
odds on just about anything football connected! There will be those people who
are experienced betters who follow football closely and can happily place their
bets unassisted.
So, what
football games can you bet on? I think a better query is what can't you bet on!
With so many national and International
Football betting leagues with games
every week, there are abundant bookmakers to cover them all. Though, if you are
new to football betting then perhaps it is better to concentrate on the leagues
you are familiar with (or most familiar with!). In the UK, the main leagues are
the Premier League, the Championship League, and Leagues One and Two.
Betting tips
Now, in order to know the football betting tips,
it helps to understand how the basic betting odds work. You need to be able to identify
decimal and fractional as bookmakers will use one or the other format. It's
easier to demonstrate using an example. Let's say that you bet 1 on a team to
win with decimal odds of 2.0. This means that you would win 2 if your team won;
this includes your 1 initial bet, leaving you with a profit of 1. If you bet 1
on your team to win with fractional odds of 2/1, you would win 3, including
your 1 stake. But do you understand what these odds mean? Basically, odds of
2.0 means that the chances of your team winning are 1/2.0 which is 0.5. If you
multiply this by 100, this gives you the percentage chance of winning, 50%.
Equally, odds of 2/1 means that your fortuitous of winning your bet is 1/(2+1)
- calculated by denominator/(denominator + numerator) - which equals to 1/3,
which is 0.33 or 33%. There are several websites obtainable that will give you
a further insight into flash soccer or football
betting.
