Best Football Bet Types To Consider

Accumulators, BTTS, First/Anytime Scorer. These are just some of the bet types that are available to football fans that like to have an added interest in their team's performances. Football is now one of the most popular sports amongst fans that fancy a bet, but let's face it, it can get confusing from time to time.

Fear not, however, below we are going to look at some of the most popular bet types on football matches, and decide whether it is worth your while to add them to your betting slip.

Most Popular Football Bet Types

What To Decide Before Picking A Bet

Before deciding on which bet you are going to place, one of the most important tasks you have is to choose your preferred betting site or bookmaker. Just like choosing a bet type, there are many things to consider when it comes to picking your betting site.

Bet bonuses are an important part of many people's decision-making, as are odds boosts, cashouts, and all of the bet bonuses that each bookmaker provides. If you prefer credit cards, skrill, crypto, etc, then you need to know which options are open to you.

Home Win/Draw/Away Win

The obvious place to start when it comes to betting on a football match is the tried and trusted match-betting odds. For example, would last season's treble winners, Man City, win a home game against Arsenal, or could the match end in a draw? Home teams are always likely to be favourites to win the match but sometimes it can pay to take a chance on an away team upsetting the odds at a bigger price.

First/Anytime Scorer

If you prefer to concentrate on the actions of the players on the pitch, then the First or Anytime Scorer betting option may be for you. Simply pick the player on either team that you think will score the first goal of the game, or for slightly lesser odds you can choose which one will find the net at any time throughout the game.

Win & Both Teams To Score

One of the most popular bet types among football fans is the Win & BTTS market. Using the example above, if you think Man City will beat Arsenal, but also have the feeling that their rivals will score at least once in the match, then betting on a Man City Win & BTTS will mean you are successful.

Total Goals Over/Under

Another very popular bet with football fans is the Total Goals Over/Under. Simply put, this is a bet option on how many goals you think will be scored in a certain game. The markets are usually split into Over or Under 0.5, 1.5, 2.5, 3.5, etc. To use an example, if you think there will be four goals in a match, then a bet on Over 3.5 Goals will be a winner.

Football Accumulators

Possibly the most popular football bet is an accumulator. Of course, this will entail looking at more than one match at a time. To win an accumulator, you must pick a group of teams that you feel will win their respective matches, put them together on your bet slip, and hope that they can all be victorious. The frustrating thing about an accumulator is that all but one of your selections can win and you will leave with nothing!
