Football is an exciting sport to watch and engage in. Many fans also ‘invest' a bit of their money on the teams to earn some extra cash for themselves while enjoying the matches. With so many types of wagers to choose on, which one would you choose?
The most common types of bet is point spread. Point spread refers to the advantage and disadvantage points assigned to the teams by the bookmakers. In order to win the bet, for instance if you place your money on a team with +3 points, then the team needs to win more than 3 points so that you would win. Similarly if you had supported a team with -3 points, as long as the team does not lose more than 2 points then you win your bet.
Another type of bet is money line bets. It is simpler as you just need to get your final outcome of the game spot on. However, the payoff rates are generally poor unless you bet against the favorites and they indeed lost the matches.
Or, you can go for total bets. With totals bet, all you have to do is decide if the total set by the bookmakers will be higher or lower than the combined scores of the two teams. However, it is not as easy as it may look as you still have to assess the strengths and weaknesses of the two teams to decide if they are capable of racking up high scores in this particular game or not.
So try out these 3 different types of bets and find your own niche area and may you prosper in football betting.
