Popular Betting Odds for the World Cup
Whether you’re an old hand in soccer betting or you are new to the game, it’s important to have a good grasp of how it works. Some markets are easier than others to understand. Some markets are more popular.
Below, we’ve earmarked a few that often catch our customers’ attention.
Match Result Market
This is easy. You’re picking the result of a match and placing the bet accordingly. You can wager on a home win, a draw, or an away win. One thing to note, though. This only applies to 90-minute markets and will not apply to matches that go to extra time.
Both Teams To Score
This market is exactly what it says on the tin — you’re betting on whether both sides will score during the 90 minutes. For example, if a match finishes 2-1 or 1-1, the bet wins. If either team fails to score, the bet loses.
Anytime Goalscorer
Here, you’re backing a player to score at any point during the match, whether that’s the first goal or the last. It only takes one goal for your selection to land, making it a popular market for star forwards and penalty takers.
Bet Builder Markets
Bet Builders allow you to combine multiple selections from the same game into one bigger-priced wager. For example, you could back a team to win, a player to score, and over 2.5 goals all in a single bet.
Over/Under Goals
This market is all about predicting how many goals will be scored in a match. For example, over 2.5 goals wins if there are three or more goals scored, while under 2.5 lands if there are two or fewer.
World Cup Winner Odds
Then you have what some call the futures bets. Picking the winner of the World Cup would fit under this market classification. You are trying to pick the team that wins the tournament outright.
This is a popular market because it tests the insight of the bettor and provides more generous odds. Why? Because it’s a much harder market to predict.
In the upcoming tournament, there is a wider field of teams after FIFA opted to make it a 48-team event, instead of the typical 32-team format. That makes it even tougher.
Outright & Live Betting
Outright betting is all about predicting what happens over the course of the entire World Cup, rather than just one outcome, such as the winner. Back a team to reach the final, top their group, or even support a player in markets such as the Golden Boot winner. These bets are placed before and often during the tournament, with odds constantly changing as the competition unfolds.
Live betting, meanwhile, gives you the chance to wager while the action is taking place. Odds update in real time based on what’s happening on the pitch, meaning every goal, card, substitution, or momentum swing can create new betting opportunities.
For example, if a favourite goes behind early, their odds to win the match or tournament may drift significantly. Likewise, a fast start from an underdog could create value in goals, corners, or player markets.
The World Cup is one of the best tournaments for both outright and live betting thanks to the drama, unpredictability, and huge range of markets available throughout every stage of the competition.
