In soccer betting you will find three main soccer leagues available. They are the English Premier, Italian, and MLS soccer leagues. There are also many other leagues and tournaments throughout the year that attract great soccer betting interest. The biggest occurs every four years when the best soccer players compete for the World Cup.
There are basically two types of soccer betting lines. There is the straight soccer betting money line and what is called three-way soccer betting odds. Let's take a look at both of these soccer betting types. The money line in soccer betting odds is just like a baseball betting line. It might look like this:
Brazil +150
Argentina -170
Total 2.5 over -120
In this particular example it is a straight soccer gaming money line where you risk $170 for every $100 you want to win on Argentina or the 17/10 equivalent. If you like Brazil you get $150 for every $100 wager on Brazil or the 10/15 equivalent. The total is 2.5 with the over at -120.
The three-way soccer betting line includes the draw option and is listed as such:
Brazil +220
Argentina +130
Draw +170
Total 2.5 over -120
The soccer betting line in this case adds the draw option so that if the game ends in a tie it would pay $170 for every $100 wagered. During the regular season the wagers areofficial after 90 minutes, or regulation time in soccer game results.
Soccer betting odds for gamblers around the world involves the same handicapping techniques as other sports. If you want to become a professional soccer gaming player or "punter" as they are referred to then you need to learn soccer handicapping basics. There are many places to consider soccer betting odds and soccer game results. The first place people begin is with their overall match handicapping.
They move to team handicapping that includes ratings, averages, streaks, injuries, home/away ratings, soccer game results, etc. They then consider head to head statistics, individual matchups etc. They also break down league data that looks at the best soccer players. This is all part of soccer handicapping and soccer betting.

The LA Galaxy is the odds-on soccer betting favorite to win the 2016 MLS Cup, and the return of the greatest male American soccer player of all-time to the team does no favors to the remaining squads. For people who only started to bet on soccer after 2014, Landon Donovan has won a record six MLS Cups, and is the league's all-time top scorer with 144 goals and the league's all-time assists leader with 136. Moreover, Donovan is the all-time leader in scoring and assists for the United States men's national team. He may have won the Major League Soccer MVP Award only once, but it’s telling that Major League Soccer changed the name of the award to the Landon Donovan MVP Award following his retirement.
Bayern Munich is the soccer betting favorites to win the German Bundesliga championship for a fifth consecutive time in 2016-17. And Borussia Dortmund, who have been chasing Bayern since 2012 – when Dortmund won their last title – and finished second in each of the previous four seasons, are accordingly the second favorite of people who bet on soccer.
Juventus FC is the soccer betting favorite to win Italy’s 2016-2017 Serie A season. La Vecchia Signora has won the last five straight championships, so to say that they are the odds-on favorite of fans who bet on soccer would be a gross understatement.
According to soccer betting odds, Lionel Messi will continue to evade defenders like they were tax collectors and lead FC Barcelona to a third consecutive Spanish title in the 2016-2017 season, which will begin on August 19th, 2016. Odds to Win 2016-2017 Spanish La Liga:
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is the soccer betting odds-on favorite to win the 2016-2017 France Ligue 1 – which would be the fifth straight championship win and seventh overall. Counter-intuitively, people who bet on soccer continue to favor PSG even though they will undertake the defense of their title without their top goalscorer – in Ligue 1 in particular and official competitions in general – Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
While the MLS doesn’t have as large a fan base as other soccer leagues around the world, MLS betting has no shortage of fans. One match sportsbook users might want to keep an eye out for is the matchup between the San Jose Earthquakes and the Real Salt Lake. The game is scheduled to take place on Friday the 22nd of July. The match will kickoff at 11:00 pm EST (4:00 pm BST) with Real Salt Lake hosting at Rio Tinto Stadium. While many fans considered these teams to be evenly matched the odds tell a different story. Let’s check in on the sportsbooks and see what they have to say for Friday’s matchup.
