Football betting for beginners

Football is watched by over 3.5billion people all over the world and with so many national and international events happening every week it’s one of the most popular sport on the betting scene as well. Let’s take a look at the various events a punter can bet on during a football match. You can start by gambling on the final result of the game which could be win for Team-A, win for Team-B or a draw. Some casinos will allow you to pick two options which is win for a certain team and draw, so if you are not sure of the eventual outcome play safe and go for this. Keep in mind that you will get lower odds compared to choosing a win from 3 options. You can also bet on which team will score first or which team will lead during the first half. The odds in these cases are usually higher than the odds you get to pick the winner so if you are sure with your picks you should go for it. Every time a player shoots towards the goal post it’s called a "shot" and if the shot is inside the frame of the goal it is called "shots on target" You can bet on how many shots and shots on target there will be during a game. Football also sees lots of high adrenaline moments where things between two or more players may get intense and this may cause fouls. This can result in yellow or red cards and you can bet how many yellow and red cards there will be given per team and per match. Another important aspect of football games are corner kicks and off sides. You can get pretty good odds on picking these events as well. If you have a favorite player you can pick that specific player to score a goal and get some great returns on your bet as the odds on these types of bets are one of the highest.

One interesting thing about football is that it's the only sport where the World Cup is more popular than the Olympic Games. The FIFA World Cup, held every four years, attracts more viewers globally than any other sporting event, including the Olympics.  The World Cup final alone drew over 1.1 billion viewers, showcasing the unparalleled global passion and unity the sport brings, even eclipsing the world's largest multi-sport event!
