Football is the most admired sports gambling discipline among bookmaker clients. The top five championships (England, Italy, Spain, Germany, France), the Champions League and the Europa League, and national team games are the most well-known tournaments. But you are able to bet on other tournaments – the championships of exotic countries, the lower divisions of the leading European competitions, and friendly matches. 

What are the special features of betting on football matches?

Football is a game between two teams, lasting in two halves of 45 minutes. This sport is quite unpredictable, which complicates for bettors the determination of the best market to bet on. 

You can bet on football in prematch and live. Often, players make the mistake of making stakes long before the start of the match – for instance, a day or earlier. At these moments, you can catch good odds on a bet option analyzed in advance. But before the start of the game, force majeure may happen – injuries of leading players, a sharp change in weather conditions, which will entail a change in the situation before the game and leave an imprint on the accuracy of the passage of the pre-selected bet.

Therefore, it is recommended to make a stake a few minutes before the starting whistle – at these minutes the lineups are already known, surprises usually do not happen. You can also react to events in live mode – for example, there was a deletion as part of one team: a great sign in order to bet on the opponent’s victory with a draw or a goal from the team that remained in the majority.

What are the pros and cons of football betting?

The advantages of placing stakes on football include:

  • Excellent conditions for research – many open services with sports statistics;
  • The widest range of gambling objects;
  • Excellent margin on match outcomes;
  • The daily opportunity to place large amounts of stakes due to the many competitions in the world.

There are also some disadvantages:

  • Bookmakers don’t want you to earn and reduce the quantity of valuable events;
  • In case of changes in the layouts for a match before its start, bookmakers quickly react by moving the odds.

Is it possible to earn on sports betting regularly?

On Internet, there is much information on gambling tactics. However, you should realize there is no strategy for sports gambling by regularly beating the bookmakers. But unnecessary risk should be avoided. The main thing is to own information, be able to analyze it, and also constantly monitor the quotes of the bookmakers. Note that predictions based only on intuition are successful and bring good earnings from time to time, but they are unlikely to work in the long run.
