Understanding Football Predictions

Football predictions are popular for all types of bettors. Whether you are a small-time punter or someone who bets with bigger stakes, it is important to understand how betting markets work. The last thing you want is to win a bet but then realize you placed the wager on an incorrect betting market.

Before placing any bets, you must understand the different football betting markets. Our team at Topbets has provided some FAQs on common questions that most bettors have. These questions cover all popular football betting prediction markets, such as 1×2 betting markets, BTTS, draw no bet, and correct score predictions.

What is 1×2 betting?

We’d say this is where the must-win picks are listed. Regardless of the team, you may support, it all boils down to their form or winning percentage. What makes Liverpool win a ten game streak? It surely can’t hurt that they are pitted against a team that has yet to win. That should be enough to place a very clear home win bet.

The 1×2 betting market is the easiest type of bet as there are only three possible outcomes. Either a home win (1), an away win (2), or a draw (x). Today’s soccer predictions (accumulator/multibet of the day) always include 1×2 betting tips.

What is BTTS betting?

Both teams to score (BTTS) are a favorite among bettors who love goals. This is a two-way betting market, where you predict whether or not both teams in a match will score. If two big teams are playing, who are both free-scoring, for example, Liverpool vs Arsenal, the BTTS – Yes market will be a popular soccer betting prediction for the game.

What is Over 2.5 goals?

Like the BTTS market, over 2.5 goals predicts the outcome of a game’s total number of goals. Generally, the odds on these markets are around 1.60, but if you want a safer betting option with lower odds, the over 1.5 goals market is popular. You can also bet on team totals; for example, if you think Arsenal will beat Chelsea 3-0, you can beat Arsenal to score over 2.5 goals. These odds are higher than the over 2.5 match goals since you need the Gunners to score 3 times.

What is Handicap betting?

Handicap betting is also known as spreads betting, so don’t get confused if some betting sites have different terminology. Handicap betting evens the playing field when a game has a short-priced favorite. The underdogs are given a head start with a virtual +1.5, +2.5, +3.5, etc lead. For example, if Man City were playing Ipswich at the Etihad, the 1×2 betting would be Man City at 1.15. The handicap line would be Man City -2.5 at 1.90.

This means that Ipswich is given a 2-goal head start, so for your bet on Man City -2.5 to win, the team must win by three goals. If the game ends 3-1 to City, you bet loses because Ipswich won the virtual handicap line 3 – 3.5 (1 goal scored plus the +2.5 handicap line).

What is Draw No Bet?

We mentioned 1×2 betting markets, and the draw no bet is similar, but it provides insurance on the draw option. If the match ends in a draw, your stake is refunded. The odds on draw no bet markets are lower than the 1×2 betting markets.

How to bet on Corner Kicks?

Corner kicks are not a common betting market, but you will find these at several betting brands. You can place wagers on the total match corners in a game and how many corners each team will take. Corner kicks betting is a two-way betting market, so you are betting on the overs or unders. You should study the style of play for teams, and generally, teams that attack from wide instead of through the middle of the pitch tend to get more corners. 

What are Correct Score predictions?

The correct score predictions are always mentioned whenever you search for today’s football predictions. A correct score means predicting the correct final score in a game. This betting market requires careful consideration of various factors, such as team news, head-to-head results and the form of the teams. The betting odds on the correct score are always high, but these markets are more volatile than others, like the 1×2 betting markets and the BTTS markets.

Anytime Goalscorer

An educated guess based on a player’s current form and the defenses difficulties should be taken into account. An example would be backing a striker against a poor defense.

So what are those ticks ✅ and crosses ❌ on the “Yesterday’s Results” section? 

A history of results.

All of our posted tips are tracked, and the results speak for themselves. A check mark means the bet landed whilst the cross mark means it did not.

In the case a tip is marked wrong, we evaluate it, figure out the cause, and then make changes for the future. Long term winnings stem from having a smooth strategy rather than lose-chasing. This is why every tip that is posted is tracked, so our members know what works and what doesn’t.
