Soccer Betting FAQ
How does soccer betting work?
In its most basic form, betting on soccer requires you to predict whether Team A will win, Team B will win or both teams will draw. However, there are lots of other ways to bet on soccer. It’s important to learn the rules for any betting market you’re interested in wagering on if you want to succeed.
What is double chance in soccer betting?
Double chance is a type of betting market available for soccer. The 1×2 market has three options (home win, away win or draw). With the double chance market, you can bet on two of the three 1×2 options. For example, you can bet on home win / away win, home win / draw or away win / draw. If you bet on home win / away win, the bet will win as long as one of the teams wins the match and it doesn’t end in a draw.
When betting futbol, what does draw no bet mean?
Draw no bet (DNB) is a type of soccer betting market that eliminates the draw. When betting on a match the most common market is 1×2 (home win / draw / away win). In the DNB market, the only options are home win or away win. If the match ends in a draw, the bet will push (tie) and your bet is returned. The payout odds are worse than picking a team to win in the 1×2 market, but a draw doesn’t result in a loss.
How to read soccer betting lines?
New soccer bettors need to know how to read soccer betting lines. Here’s an example of a 1×2 bet: Leeds (+290) / Draw (+290) / Liverpool (-110).

For example, Leeds at +290 means you’d win $290 profit on a $100 bet. In order to win $100 on Liverpool, you’d be required to wager $110 due to the -110 odds.
