Betting guide

If you are looking for a relatively simple wager which can offer you a higher payout than the standard Win-Lose-Draw (WLD) on football betting, you may want to consider a Half Time/Full Time bet, often simply abbreviated as HT/FT.  With this type of bet, you are technically making two wagers in one, which is why it is also sometimes called a “double result” bet.

If you feel really confident about your sports betting knowledge, and you want a chance to win a high payout, one exciting type of wager you can place on football matches and other types of sports is an accumulator or parlay bet.  With this type of bet, you wager on four or more selections.  If all of your selections “accumulate” as wins, you win the entire wager and the payout.  If any of your selections lose, you lose the entire stake.

Do you ever feel like you have a solid grasp on one of the players in a football match and their performance this season, but you are not so sure about the teams playing and which one will emerge on top?  At times like this, one type of bet which makes a lot of sense is a First Goal Scorer (FGS) bet.  With this type of bet, you do not focus on which team will win or lose.  Instead, you just predict which players will score the first goal.  If you are right, you win.  If another player scores first, you lose.

One of the most popular types of bets you can place on football matches is the Asian Handicap bet.  What is an Asian Handicap?  First off, we should review what handicapping is (in this context).  When a match is handicapped, points are assigned to the underdog or subtracted from the favourite (or both).  This makes the match more interesting for bettors, especially in situations where one team has a clear advantage on the field.

If you love watching football, you’ll love betting on it even more.  Betting on football is a great way to get involved more personally with the excitement of the game, and if you know what you are doing, it can be quite profitable too.  What types of football bets are there? 

Recently, I wrote an article on what do sports betting and binary options trading have in common, talking about the numerous similarities and connections between trading on binaries and sports betting.  Both binary options trading and sports wagering are activities involving risk.  Both can be done online, and both have relatively low entry barriers.  If you treat either casually, you will gamble irresponsibly and almost certainly lose money (not a big deal i

If you enjoy sports betting, binary options trading is something you may also enjoy.  Why?  These are two worlds that have a lot in common.  In fact, the overlap is so strong that you may be surprised to realize that if you know how to wager, you already know a lot about how to invest.  Perhaps the reason this is true is essentially that sports wagering is already an investment in yourself.  When you learn the skills needed to excel at betting, you are learning the skills you also need to excel at trading.  Here are just a fe

There are many different types of bets in horse racing.  One wager you may enjoy is called “wheel betting.”  When you place a wheel bet, you select a key horse to win, and then you choose a collection of horses to finish in the subsequent places.  There are a number of variations on the wheel bet, so the exact places depend on the exact type of wheel bet.  Optionally, you can also choose to have your key horse place second or third or so on.  The collection of horses you are selecting for the other places are the horses you

Have you ever really wanted to get in on a horse race, but found yourself holding back because you were not sure what order the horses would finish in?  At times like these, the perfect type of wager to put down is a box bet.  The term “box bet” comes from the idea of “boxing a bet.”  In short, you “box” a selection of horses that you believe will finish well.  This allows you to bet on horses you feel confident about, without worrying what order they will actually finish in.

When you are new to the world of horse racing betting, you have to learn the language before you can start placing smart wagers.  In Horse Racing Terminology Part 1,  Part 2, and &
