It is one of the easiest sports betting options available, where your only job is to select a game winner. You pick the winning side. It’s as easy as that.
In the regular season, soccer games can end in a tie, which means 3-way moneylines may be available. You can bet on three outcomes: Team A, Team B, or a tie game.
Handicap betting is soccer’s version of the point spread, where one team is given a handicap to level the playing field.
Typically, the favorite team is given a -0.5 goal line, meaning they must win by one goal or more to cover. Conversely, the underdog is given a +0.5 goal line, meaning they can either win outright or draw for the bet to pay out.
When selecting a totals wager, you will predict if the final combined score for both teams will be over or under the oddsmaker’s set line.
Over/under odds are often available for other stats besides points, like a player’s total points in a game or the number of attempted goals.
Essentially, you’re adding the total number of your chosen stat category and deciding if you think that amount will be higher or lower than what the oddsmakers have determined it will be.
You can change your odds format at most soccer betting sites depending on your preference.
As the name suggests, American odds are commonly used in the U.S., giving you a triple-digit or higher number with either a minus or plus sign.
The whole American odds (or moneyline odds) system is based on betting $100.
The numbers next to a minus sign (-) tell you how much you must bet to win $100. The plus symbol (+) beside the numbers tells you how much you can win by betting $100.
The negative sign indicates the favourite, while the plus sign points to the underdog.
Founded in 2019, the Canadian Premier League (CPL) is Canada's top professional soccer league. The league started with seven teams, including clubs such as Forge FC (Hamilton) and Pacific FC (Victoria). An eighth team, Atlético Ottawa, joined for the second season in 2020.
The teams compete in a spring-to-fall format standard for North American soccer leagues. The regular season is followed by the CPL playoffs, with the champion earning the Canadian Premier League title. Both the CPL champion (winner of the playoffs) and the CPL regular season winner (winner of the CPL Shield) qualify for the CONCACAF Champions Cup.
