Soccer and Its Lucrative Betting Markets

Roger Comments Off on Soccer and Its Lucrative Betting Markets

Soccer, or football as the world outside of the US calls it, is the most popular game in the world, by far. The last World Cup, which was held in Brazil, was watched by over 3.2 billion people. That is nearly half the world’s population. Soccer is very simple to understand, yet no two games are the same. Two teams with 11 players each take on each other for a period of 90 minutes, plus extra time, divided in two halves. In between the haves is a 15-minute break. Soccer started in England and grew to be loved across the world. In South America, football has a distinct culture around it.

There are many football tournaments and leagues. The most important of them are those accredited by the football world governing body, FIFA. The most popular leagues are the European leagues. The English Premier League is especially loved all over the world. The Spanish, Italian and German leagues are popular too. Soccer players are well paid, and that adds to the attraction of the game.

With almost every country in five continents having some sort of football league, it is no surprise that much of sports betting is centred on football. There are different types of markets and different ways through which to combine odds. There are jackpots and mini-jackpots. Football betting is a whole gambling market that is very lucrative.

Unlike many other gambling options, football can be won on analysis. You stand a real chance of winning if you take your time and analyse outcomes. However, no two football games are the same; you have to be prepared to lose instead of winning every time you place a bet. That’s just how it is. If you get it right, soccer betting is very rewarding.
