If you watch football streaming online, on a television broadcast, or even sitting on a seat in a stadium, then you will have seen the massive influence sports gambling has on European soccer leagues.
Some of the biggest football teams in the world have online sport gambling sites as their main shirt sponsor, and every top-flight game in Europe will have their pitchside advertising hoardings display an international bookmaker for a few minutes of every game.
People have been betting on football for as long as people have been kicking a ball, and many sports fans will bet a small sum on a game or a number of games to make their Saturday a little more interesting. Here we are going to look at some simple ways to bet on football, and how to give yourself a good chance of making a winning bet from time to time.
Simple Singles
Keeping betting simple can mean just making one bet on one game, and that may be as much as you want to do. If you follow a team, and watch them play every week, then having a bet on the games can make it a little more fun and make a dull game interesting.
Betting on the outcome of a game, your team to win, for example, is straightforward enough. If you are going to watch a game, you can have more fun betting on in-game events. Cards and corners are
popular for bets like this. You can place a wager on how many cards will be shown in a game, or how many corners will be taken, or each team will take.
Same Game Multi-Bets
Sticking to betting on one game, you can make some really interesting bets by betting on multiple events and the outcome of a game, all as part of the same wager.
With these types of bets, you can bet on an outcome, your team to win, and also bet on in-game events. You can pick your favorite to score, a minimum amount of corners, and for the opposition to earn a few yellow cards. By combining these bets, the odds can accumulate quite quickly and offer significant returns.
Football Game Accumulators
Football accumulator bets, or ‘accas’, are probably the fastest-growing type of football bet. Here you can combine a number of different bets across a number of different games into one wager.
How many is up to you, but the more ‘legs’ you add to your acca, the more chance there are for your bet to fail. Research is recommended for an acca, and you should have a look at the league and team data online and use Wikipedia to get background information on teams and players if you want to take your acca seriously. The odds from these bets can be quite high, and you can make hundreds of pounds from just a few pennies with the right acca bet.
Football is a truly beautiful game, but some matches can be a little dull sometimes. Small bets on a game of football is a great way to spice up the action and make a boring fixture a lot more fun.
