Question 3

How do Football Odds work in betting?

Accepted Answer

When you bet with us, you can choose between either decimal or fractional odds.

Fractional odds display two numbers that are separated by a forward slash. The number to the left of the slash is how much money you will win from your bet, while the number on the right is how much you initially need to put down. For example, at odds of 10/1, you win £10 on every £1 you bet. If the odds were 1/3, on the other hand, you win £1 for every £3 that you wager. This doesn't include the initial wager which you'll also receive back as well.

Decimal odds appear in numerical form and without a slash. Instead, odds of 5/1, for example, translate to 6.00 when displayed as a decimal. This option shows you how much you’ll be returned should your wager win. So, 10/1 as a decimal will appear as 11.00, while 1/3 is 1.33. To figure out potential winnings, you can multiply the decimal by your stake.

As touched on above, there are numerous ways to bet on our football markets. Those wanting to place a wager on a specific game should pay close attention to our match odds. With this betting type, you can bet on whether the home or away team will win or if the game will end in a draw. These odds are calculated by analysing an array of data, including recent performances and opposition strength.

Alternatively, you could also wager on the exact score in a match. This is a fun-filled way of following a football game, and each team's offensive prowess and their recent ability to keep clean sheets determine the odds. Moreover, if goals are something that piques your interests, why not consider a first goal scorer bet? With this type of wager, each participating player offers different returns, with in-form strikers generally being the safest bet as they’re closest to the goal. But remember that defenders are a threat from set-pieces!
