A 25/1 goal bet, tips for World Cup spread betting…

By on May 31, 2010 in Football Spread Betting

The football World Cup is expected to suck in over one billion pounds and that’s just in the betting markets.  That is a lot.  With bookmakers fighting each other to attract the most money at the World Cup there are some interesting goal betting markets that have appeared.  This post takes a quick look at some of the antepost World Cup goal bets available.

Sporting index offer spread betting on the World Cup. Some of the spread bets offered include the ‘stop at a’ markets.  You are invited to bet on how many World Cup matches will be played before;

a 0-0 draw
a score draw (0-0, 1-1, 2-2)
a player to score a hat-trick

In the 2006 World Cup the first 0-0 draw was the 4th game.  If sporting index are offering a spread of 9.5 – 10.5, they are predicting that the first draw will be in the 9th, 10th, or 11th game. If the first 0-0 draw is after 4 games as with the 2006 World Cup would return 5.5 times your stake (£10 x difference between Sell Price/ 9.5 and Result/4 = £55).  Although this is not a bet we would recommend because the risk is too much for the reward.  Imagine if there where no 0-0 draws, ouch!  Following that line of thought a ‘score draw’ goal bet wouldn’t be good either.

X-Corners football spread betting

By on April 23, 2010 in Football Spread Betting

A recent game between Aston Villa and Hull produced 20 corners recently. That would have been a great over corners bet. A bookmaker would normally offer you a prediction of over 11 corners. Simple. More than 11 corners and you win. Less you lose.

What about this example? The game produced a whopping 20 corners. That’s 9 corners over the 11 corner prediction a normal bookmaker would have offered.

You would have got nothing for those other 9 corners. The extra profit the other corners could have bagged for you would have been great. Here’s a way to make the corners pay!

Spread betting companies offer multi corner and x-corner bets. The Aston Villa vs Hull example would have been great for a x-corners bet. This post will explain how multi corner and x-corner spread bets work.

Spread betting goals, corners, and bookings

By on March 7, 2010 in Football betting, Football Spread Betting

Goal Spread Betting rewards the punter with open ended profits. Take a look at the video for an explanation of how a goal spread bet works.

Goal Spread Betting Explained

The sports spread betting company provides a goal prediction. A goal is worth a number of points. The number of points depends on who you choose to spread bet goals with. In this example, each goal is worth 10 points, and the prediction is a spread between 2.4 and 2.7 goals. In other words 2 or less goals and 3 or more goals.

Choose a stake to decide how much to bet per goal. The stake is divided by the number of points per goal. In the video the stake is £1 per point, so each goal is worth 10 pence.

The result of the goal spread bet is the amount per point X the difference between the prediction and the outcome. Here, 3 goals where scored. That’s 10 pence X .30 (the outcome was 3.0 goals and the upper end of the prediction is 2.7 goals) = 30 pence.

It is possible with some sports spread betting companies to start spread betting with a little as 1p per point with £30 free money to start or if you want a little more excitment bet more per point and get £200 free to kick off.

Corner Spread Betting Explained

The same method applies to spread betting corners. Video shows that it is practically the same, except that, each corner is worth 2 points. Stake £1 and that means 50 pence per point.

Bookings Spread Betting Explained

Here’s how it works for spread betting bookings. Yellow and red cards are worth points. In this example, a yellow is 10 points and a red is 25 points. The sports spread betting company makes a prediciton of how many cards will be issued each game. In this example the spread is between 60 and 64 points. Stake £1 per point and that means that each red card issued after 64 points is worth £25! Remember to check our your potential winnings and losses before you place your bet.

First Goal Spread Betting Explained

It is also possible to spread bet the time of the first goal, explained in this video.

How does sports spread betting work?

By on March 5, 2010 in Football betting, Football Spread Betting

Sports spread betting is not just a case of win or lose. Not like with a traditional betting bookmaker.

The rewards of spread betting can outweight those of normal fixed odds betting as we discussed in another post, about how a football goals spread bet can increase the reward by more than 3 times. This post explains the workings of a sports spread bet in more detail, something that wasn’t done in the previous post. Using football as an example first lets look at how sports spread betting differs from traditional betting.

Fixed odds betting. The price of the bet is set at the outset by the bookmaker. Winnings and loses are fixed. Win or lose, you know what’s what.

Spread betting. Winnings or loses depend on the difference between the end result and the sports spread betting company’s marker or prediction.

Most of the bets available with online betting bookmakers are mirrored by the sports spread betting company. Take the totals market for example; total goals, total corners, or total booking points etc. The words used are slightly different but essentially they are the same.

When an online betting bookmaker prices football totals markets they provide a marker. Betting enthusiasts place bets for more or less than the marker. The markers will resemble these; ’2.5′ goals, ’11′ corners, and ’37 – 40′ booking points.

Sports spread betting companies do the same thing. However, the market is a spread. Each goal is worth 10 points, so a spread might look like this, ’2.3 – 2.5′ goals. A corners spread might look like this, ’10 – 11′ corners, and a booking points spread like this, ’37 – 40′ booking points.

Participants get to choose between betting ‘over’ or ‘under’ the marker with fixed odds betting. With sports spread betting the bettor gets to ‘buy’ or ‘sell’ the spread.

A goal bet with over three times the profit

By on March 3, 2010 in Football Fixed Odds Betting, Football Spread Betting

Goal betting is a great way to increase the excitement of a football game. English football, and especially premiership football, over the years has become more and more of an attacking game.

In this post LetsCompareBets will compare a goal fixed odds bet to a goal spread bet. Spread betting is a great way to boost returns over traditional fixed odds betting.

The good thing about football goal betting is that goals produced by football matches can be predicted. First lets look at what makes up a football bet.

The event. A football game. Any league is good, in the UK or Europe.

The bookmaker makes a prediction. Normally Under or Over 2.5 goals. In other words 2 and below goals, or, 3 or more goals.

The sports betting fan (that’s right you and me). People involved in the betting market.

As we have mentioned the bookmaker places a cut off and prices a bet with fixed odds. Like this,

10/11 – Under 2.5 goals
10/11 – Over 2.5 goals

Sports spread betting companies work in the same way; they invite the bettor to place an Under or Over bet. In stead of pricing the bet with fixed odds it is priced using a spread.
