Both teams to score

 

 

Both teams to score is one of the newest and most exciting betting options for football. It gives an advantage to bettors who want to lower variance while still being able to grow their bankroll quickly, with minimal investment or bookmaker edge. If you want to learn the basics of how to start making money with both-teams-to-score bets, read on. When you bet on sports, you don’t need to bet on one team to win, or even one team to win (or not lose!) by a line or handicap. There are hundreds of other bets you can make, and the Internet’s top bookmakers, from SBOBet to WilliamHill to BetFair to Pinnacle, offer these markets on many of their games. The bigger the game, the bigger the amount of markets — a game of basketball in Montenegro might just offer five options, but a showdown between two Premier-League teams might have over one hundred. Some of these bets are pretty obscure, while others offer odds that are only favorable for the bookmaker — when you bet on one team to win by the exact score of 4 goals to 3, for example, the bookie will offer a huge payout if you hit, say, 125.00. But the odds of hitting will be much longer than that! At betting-strategy.org we recommend not placing such bets, not only because the bookie offers such bad odds, but because taking them will increase your variance. This will make it harder to build and manage your bankroll, which is the best way to ensure long-term profitability, and never have to work again! The both-teams-to-score bet is a lower-variance bet that can be favorable for the bettor. It’s a bet that was only invented recently, but it’s quickly gathered steam as one of the most popular and profitable wagers you can make. (It’s a bet that’s only offered in football, since in other major sports, like American football, basketball, or even ice hockey, both teams will almost always score!) When you make a both-teams-to-score bet, all you’re betting on is that each side will score at least one goal. These goals must be scored in the first or second half (including injury or stoppage time). Goals scored in extra time do not count. Aside from matches that are postponed or abandoned, there are no pushes in a both-teams-to-score bet, making it one of the most exciting options you have as a gambler! Bookmakers will usually offer odds of from 1.45 to 2.10 on both teams to score. The odds will be closer to 1.45 for more high-scoring teams in more high-scoring leagues that are more evenly matched. The odds will be closer to 2.10 for more defensive teams in more defensive leagues, especially if the match is expected to be lopsided — when one team is overmatched, then you can get good odds on this kind of bet, and if the underdog scores a late consolation, you can win, even if they don’t! You can bet on multiple games with the both-teams-to-score wager. Some sites offer the option of betting on both teams to score within the first half or the second half, in which case your odds will be better. Some tips betting-strategy.org advocates to get yourself an edge are betting on Major League Soccer games in America, and looking at a team’s recent form, injury report, league standing, and head-to-head results against the opposing team. Some related bets are the total goals bet, where you select an amount of combined goals that both teams will score, and the no goal bet, where you wager that the game will be a scoreless tie. Because you’re not betting sides or even spreads, the both-teams-to-score bet will let you watch games of football in a different way. You’ll start to pick up the patterns and see the trends that the top bookmakers and punters and tipsters see, and, with the help of the rest of the resources we offer at betting-strategy.org, you can start becoming one of those punters yourself!
