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.
