Soccer Money Line Bets:
When betting on the money line, you are betting that the team will win straight up in order to win your bet. Betting on the USA -600 means you must risk $600 to win $100. Betting on Costa Rica, you stake $100 to win $550.
Soccer Betting On the Draw:
Money line wagering on soccer offers a draw line as well as sides. In the event of a draw example: (1-1), all bets on either of the sides will be graded as losers. Again, in the event of a draw, only wagers placed on the draw line will be graded as a win. This rule does not apply to bet placed on the spread.
The result of the game is decided after 90 minutes of play plus injury time. Extra time / overtime / golden goal is not taken into consideration for soccer bets unless otherwise stipulated.
If any match is abandoned or postponed all bets will be void unless the relevant market result has already happened.
Total Goals Bets:
A total listed on a game represents the total number of goals scored. When betting on the total goals that a game will have, you must take the OVER or the UNDER. Regardless of the outcome, the combined score of the two teams will determine if you win or lose your bet. Wagering on game totals (over/under) only includes goals scored in the first 90 minutes plus injuries and other stoppages. . Extra periods, golden goals, and penalty shoot-outs do not count. Using the above example, if you bet the game to go OVER 2½, and the final score is 2-1, your bet is a winner.
Unless otherwise specified, all soccer wagers are official once the scheduled time has elapsed (90 minutes of play + referee stoppage time). |
