Make a Bet With Bet365!
Three-Way Money Line
The most simple and popular market in betting is the Moneyline or the match-winner bet. You simply choose the outcome of the event. There are two-way and three-way moneyline bets: the three-way includes a draw.
Spreads
Spreads in betting are used to make matches more even by giving the underdog an advantage. For example, if there is a – 2 spread means that the team that you backed needs to win with at least a 3 goal advantage for you to win the bet. The point spread is essentially a handicap towards the underdog. Soccer includes spreads when it’s between two unevenly matched teams. In these types of games, favorites are given spreads between 1-3 goals. This means that they need to win by more than that spread for you to win your bet.
Total at Bet365
Totals are the second favorite type of bet in betting. Totals apply to score, cards, corners, etc. By making a total bet, customers choose the total number of goals, corners, and other countable events in the game for both matches. The total can be over or under a specified number. For example, a total of over 4.5 in football means that both teams together have to score five or more goals in the match for you to win the bet.
Asian Handicaps at Bet365
A handicap is a type of bet that gives an edge or disadvantage to the selected team or the player on a specified bet. It can be expressed in goals, points, seconds, etc. The outcome of an event with an allowance for handicaps is determined by adding the handicap to the actual result. It splits your stake in half, and you can get a different result for each half at the end. One half of your bet competes for the draw and wins, and the other for the draw and loses. Asian handicap is indicated by fractional numbers, such as +1.25, -2.75, etc.
Exotics and Accumulators Based on Spreads and Totals in Bet365
Exotic bets are special bets offered by the bookmaker, such as the exact score, method of win, a fan running into the pitch, and other unique events that the bookmaker can provide on certain matches. The accumulator bet is a common type of bet where you choose multiple events that are not related and combine them in one bet making higher odds but raising the risk of losing at the same time, as you will lose the whole bet if one of the selected markets loses. Bet365 also has great promotions for accumulators.
Bet on Both Teams to Score
Both teams to score is a simple bet. As the name speaks for itself, for you to win the bet, both teams need to score at least one goal.
Other Popular Bet Types
There are many other popular football bets at Bet365 bets such as double score, who will score, and many options with cards, goals, offsides, corners, fouls, etc.
