Finally, now that you have an account at your chosen online soccer gambling site, and have your money ready, it’s time to start placing some bets. There are many types of bets that you can look at, but the most important ones you need to know are the following:

Final result / halftime result

This is the easiest and most common bet. You sbobet338 only place money on the final result (FT) of the game or halftime result (HT) of the game. For this bet, the home team is always marked with the number 1, the away team is marked with the number 2, and the draw is marked with an X.

Say you want to bet on a match between Manchester United and Manchester City, played at Old Trafford (United headquarters). You will see something like: 1 – 1.90; X – 3.20; 2 -5.50. This means United’s chances of winning the game are 1.90, making them the favourites, while City’s win will give 5.50 times your initial investment.

These bets are called outright bets – because you only bet on the full time result. You can make the same bet on the halftime result, or combine HT and FT predictions for better odds.

For example, a bet like “HT/ FT 1/1” means you believe United will be leading at half-time and at the end of the game. Some of these options like “HT/FT 2/1” have high odds – around 30 – but they are very hard to predict.

Also, if you think United are in bad shape and City should at least avoid defeat, there are several ways to bet on this. First, we have the “Double Chance” bet type, which has three options:

1X – Home team wins or match ends in a draw

X2 – Away win or match ends in a draw

12 – One of the teams wins, no draw

If you believe Manchester City avoided defeat in the previous example, X2 is the way to bet. Also, you have the opportunity to bet “DNB” which is described in the glossary above. “DNB” here means that if City wins your bet comes out the winner, but if the match ends in a draw, you get your money back.
