TYPES OF MARKETS
Nowadays, with the rising interest in betting, especially online betting, there's a wider and bigger range of types of markets which you can bet on. If a couple of years ago, you would have found only 1, 2 or up to 10 types of markets per event, now you can choose from up to 200 types of markets for a single event.
Not all online bookmakers have the same betting offer in terms of types of markets, but most of them are doing great job in providing a very complex and large offer, such as Bet365, William Hill, Unibet, BetVictor, Ladbrokes,.
For a football game you can place bets on full time result, double chance, correct score, half time/full time, goalscorer, total goals, Asian handicap, goal line, draw no bet, winning margin, scorecast, corners, exact number of goals, first team to score, late goal, early goal, cards, penalty, own goals, to win a half, 10 minutes result etc. Bet365 and William Hill have a really impressive range of markets for pre-match and live events, so you will always be satisfied from this point of view.
If you are more of a tennis bettor, you won't have so many markets available as in football, but you will be able to place bets on the winner of the match, first set total, games, first set winner, tie break, set score, number of sets, double result, handicap, total games and more. In LIVE betting you'll be able to enjoy additional types of bets, such as: score of the game, game points, first to win 4 games, a specific game to deuce, double faults. Paddy Power, BetVictor and Bet365 are great options for tennis betting.
For sports like basketball, baseball, table tennis, volleyball, the biggest variety of markets is available in live betting, because there you will be able to see specific bets for each game/set/quarter/half, you'll be able to bet on the race to a specific number of points, winning margin, team totals, game totals, handicap, innings, hits, money line, odd/even points etc. Generally, most top online bookmakers will be able to provide a complex variety of markets for such kinds of sports.
Obviously, there are online bookmakers who are rather focusing on other aspects (such as providing high prices for popular markets) instead of offering a huge diversity of markets, but most of them are trying to provide the possibility of choosing from a large and big betting offer.
One of the biggest improvements in online betting is that many online bookmakers have managed to overcome that standard barrier and become closer to their customers, and that's why many bettors now have the possibility of requesting special markets to bet on if these are not available in the betting offer.
Overall, the betting offers keep getting bigger and bigger and it will not be surprising if soon we'll be able to bet on even more interesting and exciting markets. The leading online bookmakers know how to impress their customers.
