How to Bet on Soccer
Regardless of your experience level, there is always something to learn about soccer betting.
The majority of the world’s population refers to soccer as futbol. Compared to the major North American professional sports (NFL, MLB, NHL, and NBA), soccer has the most leagues worldwide. Because there are so many leagues, gamblers can typically get action on a game somewhere in the world.
The English Premier League is one of the more well-known soccer leagues. Other top-tier leagues include the Spanish La Biga and Germany’s Bundesliga. Major League Soccer (MLS) has gained in popularity in North America over the past few years. Bettors can find action in all of these leagues.
Popular Soccer Betting Types
Soccer betting is similar to that of other sports. There are some notable variations, however, so a new soccer bettor must first learn the bets themselves. You must first get accustomed to the different soccer wagers if you are unfamiliar with them. Understand the mechanics of each bet, like Draw No Bet.
The three-way moneyline is something that most football and basketball bettors don’t know much about. It’s a common soccer bet as is the Double Chance bet. Bettors can wager on a team to win or draw, the other team to win or draw, or on either team to win.
Like any sport, bettors have to know what they are getting into if they are planning on having success. Sports Hub can help with that.
Soccer Betting Odds
Like other sports, there are a number of different markets where soccer bettors can place bets. The most common is a bet on the moneyline. It’s still moneyline betting, but in soccer there are three potential outcomes – Team A wins, Team B wins, or a Draw.
When betting the three-way moneyline, bettors are gambling on a team to win or the teams to play to a tie. Ties don’t occur – or are very rare as in the NFL – in the North American major sports.
Regardless, all three options in the three-way moneyline are given odds. Here’s an example.
Team A +115
Team B +205
Draw +225
One of the keys to success in soccer betting is simply understanding how to read and understand the odds. In this case, Team A is given +115 odds to win. They are the favorite in this match and if you like them to win, you can win $115 on a $100 bet.
The underdog, Team B, is listed at +205. That means a $100 bet pays out a profit of $205. The teams could play to a draw. That is the least likely outcome according to the odds. You could win $225 on a $100 bet if the teams end up tied.
There are plenty of other categories – Double Chance, Asian Handicap, etc. – where soccer bettors can place wagers. The key is understanding the bet and how to read and analyze odds in an effort to find betting value.

Is there point spread betting in soccer?
Yes, there is point spread betting in soccer. If you’re familiar with point spread betting in hockey and baseball, you can understand how betting soccer point spreads works. Because of the low scoring in soccer, the goal line – soccer’s point spread – is usually set at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, or 2.5. Most often, soccer spreads are given in units of 0.5. This eliminates the number of pushes graded on soccer bets.
What is the Asian Handicap?
The Asian handicap is a point spread bet in soccer, but it introduces fractions of a goal like 0.25 and 0.75. With the Asian handicap, soccer bettors can wager on a team at +1.25, for example. Like any bet, you have to know how it works. When you place an Asian handicap bet, you are actually making two bets. You make two bets split between the closest half numbers. In this case, you would be betting on +1 and +1.5. If your team lost 1-0, the result would be a push on the bet at +1 and a win on the bet at +1.5. If the match resulted in a 0-0 draw, both of your bets would win. Understanding the Asian handicap can be tricky, which is why you should sign up for a free Sports Hub membership.
