BETTING ON FOOTBALL
The football fans and bettors from all over the world are privileged to enjoy a very rich and complex betting offer with bonuses, promotions and a wide range of useful tools for the most popular sport: football.
First of all, we want to clarify one of the oldest debates which a lot of followers still have: football vs soccer. Both terms are correct and they represent the same sport, but the original and official name of this sport is: "football", not "soccer". The term "football" is used by most of the people (in Europe especially), while "soccer" is just an American term which describes the same sport. American people use the term "soccer" to avoid confusion because they have a sport with the same name (American football).
Football game, which has its origins way back in history when Ancient Greeks and Romans were playing a wide range of ball games, is currently the greatest sport worldwide in terms of popularity and fans. Since the 18th century, when football sports clubs started to appear, this sport has seen a huge increase and has become the predominant sport in most countries.
Because of this huge popularity and undisputed place of "the most loved sport", online bookmakers have created their services focusing on this sport. Currently, all EU/Asian online bookmakers deliver thousands of football pre-match & LIVE events per week and hundreds of betting markets.
Choosing a betting site focused on football isn't a problem, because all online bookmakers are focused on this sport, but if you want to enjoy the biggest football betting offer (with many markets and types of bets), then you must search deeper and compare the top bookies.
The variety of football betting markets and bets is usually closely related to the popularity of a football league or event. For example, a football event from a Ukrainian Third League has a lower number of markets available to bet on compared to a football event from UEFA Champions League.
In average, no matter where you bet online (it could be any online bookmaker: Bet365, William Hill, Unibet, BetVictor, Ladbrokes etc.), you will find most of the following markets:
o Full time result;
o Double chance;
o Correct score;
o Half Time/Full Time;
o Total goals;
o Goalscorer;
o Asian Handicap;
o Goal line;
o Draw no bet;
o Handicap result;
o Winning margin;
o Cards (yellow-red cards).
Apart from these main markets, each online bookmaker tries to improve its football betting offer by adding more and more interesting and unique markets. For example, some online bookmakers can even allow you to bet on penalties, score in both halves, team performances, to win to nil and many more.
If you are a football fan and you like to watch and bet on this sport, then you have all the possible reasons to bet online and choose from an excellent variety of betting possibilities and promotions available for football.
