Understanding Soccer Odds

Soccer is a popular choice for online betting and getting familiar with how betting odds work is essential to becoming a successful bettor. This handy betting guide will cover how to read soccer game odds formats, what bet types are offered on the biggest soccer leagues and give you everything you need to get started betting like a pro.

The first thing you need to understand is how the betting lines work. When you bet on soccer games, you’ll be placing your wagers at an online sportsbook. The sportsbooks set the soccer odds for each betting event throughout the season; place your bet and the book will process your wager and pay if you win.

To read soccer betting lines at these sites, let's use a hypothetical example featuring Manchester and Chelsea using odds in the American format:

  • Manchester FC -120
  • Draw +250
  • Chelsea FC +300

This example shows the moneyline odds for this soccer match. The moneyline is a bet on which team will win the match or if it will end in a draw.

  • Manchester FC -120: You would need to bet $120 to win $100. Manchester is the favorite.
  • Draw +250: A $100 bet on a draw would win $250.
  • Chelsea FC +300: A $100 bet on Chelsea would win $300. They are the underdog.

The "-120" in parentheses refers to the vigorish (or "vig" or "juice") that the sportsbook charges to process your bets. Moneylines come with vigorish, meaning you bet $120 with your initial stake to win $100 or $12 to win $10.

If Manchester beats Chelsea 2-0, a bet on them pays out. If the match ends in a draw, a bet on the draw pays out. If Chelsea FC wins, a bet on them pays out. You can always compare soccer betting odds across different sites to make sure you're getting the best value.

Popular Professional Soccer League Betting Markets

Soccer betting offers a variety of markets that cater to different betting styles and preferences. Whether you prefer straightforward bets or more complex wagers, understanding the different types of soccer bets can enhance your betting experience and increase your chances of winning. We will cover the most popular types of bets in greater detail in the following sections:

Three-Way Moneyline Betting

Moneyline betting is one of the most popular betting options because it's so straightforward. A moneyline wager involves picking the winner of a single game.

Unlike point spreads or handicaps, there are no additional points to consider. You simply choose which team you think will win the soccer match outright. The odds for each team are displayed as either positive or negative numbers, indicating how much you can win or need to bet.

Moneyline soccer odds are simple to read. With this betting type, positive odds (e.g., +150) show how much profit you make on a $100 bet. Negative odds (e.g., -200) show how much you need to bet to win $100. In soccer, matches can also end in a draw, which is a common outcome. Therefore, there are usually three possible moneyline bets: one for each team to win and one for the match to end in a draw.

Example: In a regular season match between LA Galaxy and New York Red Bulls, the moneyline might look like this:

  • LA Galaxy: +120
  • New York Red Bulls: +200
  • Draw: +250

If you bet $100 as your original stake on LA Galaxy and they win, you would make a $120 profit. If you bet $100 on New York Red Bulls and they win, you would make a $200 profit. If you bet $100 on the match ending in a draw and it does, you would make a $250 profit.

Betting on Goal Lines

Betting on goal lines in soccer is similar to spread betting in other sports. This type of bet adjusts the margin of victory to make the game more even from a betting perspective. With soccer spreads, the favorite team will have a goal handicap they must overcome, while the underdog will have a goal advantage.

The goal line can be set at different values, such as 0.5, 1.0 or 1.5 goals. A bet on a team to cover the goal line means that they need to win by more than the specified number of goals. Conversely, a bet on the underdog means they can lose by fewer goals than the line or win outright.

Example: In a match between Leeds United and Swansea, the goal line might be set at:

  • Leeds United -1.5
  • Swansea +1.5

If you bet on Leeds United -1.5, they need to win by at least 2 goals for your bet to win. If you bet on Swansea +1.5, they can lose by 1 goal, draw or win the match and your bet will still be a winner.

Totals Betting (Over/Under Goals)

Totals betting, also known as over/under betting, involves predicting the total number of goals scored in a match. The sportsbook sets a line for the total goals and bettors decide whether the actual number of goals will be over or under that line.

This type of bet does not require you to pick a winner or guess the exact score. Instead, you focus on the combined score of both teams. If the match ends with the same number of goals as the set line, the bet is a push and you get your money back.

Example: In a match between Valencia CF and Sevilla FC, the total goals line might be set at 2.5.

  • If you bet Over 2.5, you win if the match has 3 or more goals.
  • If you bet Under 2.5, you win if the match has 2 or fewer goals.

So, if the final score is 2-1 Valencia, the total is 3 goals, an Over bet wins and an Under bet loses. If the combined team totals is under 2, an Under bet would be the winner.

Prop Betting

Prop betting (or proposition betting) involves wagers on specific events or outcomes within a match, rather than the final result. Soccer prop bets can be related to various aspects of the game, teams or individual players. These soccer markets add excitement to the experience by focusing on detailed occurrences during the match.

  • Game Props: This type of bet lets you wager on various in-game events. These could include bets on the number of corner kicks, whether there will be a penalty or if the game will go into extra time.
  • Team Props: Team props are bets related to the performance of th. This could involve the number of goals a team will score, whether a team will keep a clean sheet or the total number of shots on target by a team.
  • Player Props: Player props focus on individual player performances. Common bets include whether a specific player will score, the number of assists a player will have or if a player will score a penalty kick.

Prop bets are a great way to diversify your betting strategy and focus on specific elements of the game beyond just the final score.

Futures Betting

Futures betting, another popular option for soccer fans, involves placing wagers on long-term outcomes that will be determined at the end of the entire season or tournament. In MLS, the futures market typically includes bets on which team will win the MLS Cup, and in the EPL, the Premier League Final.

Futures bets on soccer also include which player will be the top goal scorer or which teams will make the playoffs. Futures bets are usually placed before the season starts but can also be made during the season with adjusted odds.

Futures bets can offer high rewards because they involve predicting outcomes far in advance, making them riskier than other types of bets. Unlike regular odds on games, futures odds are usually listed in a positive format, reflecting the potential payout for a successful bet with no negative odds. A heavy favorite will tend to have lower payouts than a sleeper team.

Example: In a bet on who will win the MLS Cup, the sports betting odds might be:

  • LAFC (+500)
  • Seattle Sounders (+700)
  • Atlanta United (+1000)

If you bet $100 on LAFC to win the MLS Cup at +500 and they win, you would make a $500 profit. Futures betting adds an extra layer of excitement throughout the season as you track the progress of your chosen team or player.

Parlay Betting

Soccer parlay betting involves combining multiple individual bets into a single wager. For the parlay to win, all of the individual bets (or legs) must win. This type of betting offers higher payouts than placing each bet separately because the risk is greater. If any single bet in the parlay loses, the entire parlay loses.

Parlays can include various types of bets, such as moneylines, totals and prop bets. The more bets included in the parlay, the higher the potential payout, but also the higher the risk.

Example: In a soccer parlay bet, you might combine the following bets:

  • LA Galaxy to win against Portland Timbers (+150)
  • Over 2.5 goals in the match between New York Red Bulls and D.C. United (-110)
  • Seattle Sounders to keep a clean sheet against San Jose Earthquakes (+120)

If you bet $50 on this three-leg parlay and all three bets win, the payout would be much higher than if you had bet on each individually. However, if any of these bets lose, the entire parlay bet loses.

Parlay betting is popular because of the potential for significant payouts, making it an exciting option for bettors looking to increase their winnings.

Live Soccer Betting & In-Game Odds

Live soccer betting (also known as in-game betting) allows you to place bets on soccer matches while they are in progress. This type of betting offers dynamic odds that change in real time based on the events occurring during the match. It adds an extra layer of excitement and strategy, as you can make informed decisions based on the flow of the game.

In-game odds can cover a wide range of betting options, including moneylines, totals and prop bets.

Live betting requires quick thinking and the ability to analyze the match as it unfolds. It offers the opportunity to capitalize on changing circumstances, making it a popular choice for experienced bettors looking to engage with the game on a deeper level.

Live betting is also a great way to add more excitement to major events like the World Cup. 

Key Factors That Impact Soccer Betting Lines

Several factors can influence the soccer betting odds set by online betting sites for matches. Understanding these factors can help you make more informed betting decisions.

  • Team Form: Current performance trends of the teams involved play a crucial role. A team on a winning streak is likely to have lower odds compared to a team on a losing streak.
  • Player Availability: Injuries, suspensions and player rotations can significantly impact a team's performance. The absence of key players can lead to higher odds for that team to win.
  • Head-to-Head Record: The historical performance between two teams can influence the odds. If one team has consistently beaten another, the odds may reflect this trend.
  • Home & Away Records: Teams often perform better at home due to familiar conditions and support from their soccer fans. Conversely, teams may struggle in away matches.
  • Weather Conditions: Weather can impact gameplay, with factors like heavy rain or extreme heat affecting player performance and match outcomes.
  • Tactical Changes: Changes in team formation or strategy, often influenced by the coach, can affect how a team performs and thus the odds.

By considering these factors, you can better understand how odds are determined and make more strategic bets.
