The Lowdown on Football Betting

For many people, betting on football is a great way to make money, but it can also be a fun and exciting way to show support for your favourite team. Football betting is relatively simple, but there are some 

things you should know before placing your first bet. 

 

The most important consideration is that it’s a risky proposition. There's no guarantee that you'll make 

money, and you could easily lose everything you invest. Let’s delve further into what football betting is 

all about below. 

 

What is football betting?  

 

Football, also known as soccer or footie, is one of the most popular sports in the world and boasts a 

noticeably rabid fanbase. And thousands of people bet on football every day. Football betting is simply 

the act of predicting the outcome of a football match and placing a wager on it.  

 

There are many different ways to bet on football, but the most popular way is to bet on a team to win. 

This is known as a Moneyline bet. The other popular type of soccer bet is called a parlay, which is when you bet on multiple teams to win.  

 

If you want to risk more money for the chance to win more, you can make a parlay bet. A parlay bet is 

when you pick two or more teams to win their games and all of those bets have to come through in 

order for you to win your parlay. A bet parlay is a wager combining two or more bets into one. The most common type of bet parlay is the two-team parlay, which combines two Moneyline bets into one. 

 

Other popular types of football betting include the point spread bet, which involves picking a team to 

win by a certain number of goals, and the over/under bet, which is a wager on whether the total number 

of goals scored in a game will be over or under a certain number. There are also props, or side bets, 

which can be placed on things like how many yellow cards will be shown in a game, or who will score the first goal. 

 

 

When it comes to betting on football, there is no sure thing. The advantage of betting on a parlay is that 

you can win a lot of money for a small bet. The downside is that all the bets in your parlay must win in 

order for you to win the parlay. Before attempting to make this bet, knowing how to bet parlay is vital. 

 

 

 

First, decide which two or more bets you want to combine. These can be anything from who will win the game outright, to how many points will be scored in the first half. 

 

Once you have your picks, go to an online sportsbook or casino that offers parlay betting. Many of them will have a "parlay calculator" that will tell you how much money you could win based on the odds of your picks. 

  

After you've decided on the amount of money you want to bet, it's time to select the individual bets you 

want to include in your parlay. The more bets you make in your parlay, the more money you can win.  

  

If you are having trouble deciding which games to include in your parlay, you can always bet on the 

favourites. Favourites have a higher chance of winning than underdogs and you'll definitely win if they all do.  

  

Parlays can be a great way for bettors to win money, but you should always check the odds before 

placing a wager. Doing so ensures that you won't risk losing money if you make a bad bet.
