Understanding Football Odds
We bring you competitive online football odds and comprehensive markets for all the biggest matches from the world's top competitions, with live in-play weekend football betting odds, football spread betting and other options.
All our football odds are displayed as fractional odds. For example, Manchester City could be at 2/1 to beat Manchester United in the derby. A €10 bet on City would result in €20 winnings, plus your original €10 stake back for a total return of €30. Once you’ve placed a few bets, understanding the odds becomes intuitive, helping you compare potential winnings. Our helpful betting calculator is a great tool to understand odds and plan your football bets.
Football odds today can change in an instant – it only takes a second to score a goal. They fluctuate regularly, right up to kick-off, influenced by team news like a key player's return or injury, recent form, or even off-pitch events.
Betting trends also impact the odds. If many customers back a certain result, football betting odds for that outcome will likely shorten to manage risk.
The Best Football Betting Markets
With so many football betting markets to choose from, the best one for you depends on your strategy.
The simplest bets are the match outcome (1X2) and correct score. You can also bet on half-time scores. Goal scorer markets are hugely popular, allowing you to wager on a particular player to score anytime or to get the first goal.
Other popular match odds include:
Both Teams To Score (BTTS): A bet on whether both teams will find the net.
Total Cards: A wager on the number of yellow or red cards in a match.
Total Corners: Betting on how many corners will be taken.
Goal Time: Predicting the exact minute of the first, last, or next goal.
Handicap Betting: This gives the favourite a virtual deficit and the underdog an advantage. The favourite may start at -1, meaning they must win by two clear goals for the bet to succeed.
Football betting also includes outright betting markets. This is where you bet on teams to win titles – for example, Manchester City to win the Premier League or Real Madrid to claim the Champions League. Our outright betting also covers relegation, European qualification, and play-off winners.
If you enjoy betting on multiple matches, we offer doubles, trebles, and accumulators. An accumulator (or 'acca') involves betting on four or more selections, with all needing to win for the bet to pay out.
