Winner of the tournament

This type of bet is usually placed before the tournament begins but can also be placed during. Odds for this type of bet are usually much higher than for a single match as the bet is spread across the whole tournament.

Group Winner

If you can’t contain your nerves for the whole tournament then you can also place a bet on who will win a particular group. This bet will be backing a particular team to finish first in their group. We recommend that you place this form of bet before the tournament begins, as the odds will vary as soon as the group matches have begun.

Top Goalscorer

You can bet on which player you believe will score most in a tournament. If you have chosen a player who will compete against the big-stars like Messi, Ronaldo and Muller and bang in the goals, then you will no doubt find much better odds.

Short-term bets – bet 1×2

For every individual match, you can bet on various outcomes, such as Match winners, goal scorers, total number of corners or, for example, the total number of goals.

1×2 match bets

This is the most common type of bet within football. In order to win you will need to have backed the right outcome of the match. You can either bet on the home team – or the away team – to win, or that the match ends in a draw.

Over/under

Here you can predict if the match will be full of goals or not. In the majority of cases, the betting sites offer odds on whether it will be over 2.5 goals or below 2.5 goals.

Betting on corners

Betting companies often offer its customers to bet on several different types of betting on corners. You can, for example, be given the opportunity to bet on which team will have most corners or predict how many corners there will be during a match.
