● Correct score
Among all the betting markets in football betting, the correct score is the most profitable. One interesting thing about this market is that is doesn’t deal with how strong a team is, it basically involves you predicting what the final scoreline would be.
Are you 100% sure that a Bundesliga match would end in 0-1 with the outsider taking the lead? Then place your bet. Correct score is a big hit any time any day.
● Half time/full-time market
This is quite similar to the correct score market. What the bettor does in this market is predicting the half-time and full-time scoreline. An outsider might be very active during the first 45 minutes of the match this effectiveness could make them take the lead in the first half, making it a favorable outsider’s bet.
● Win with nul market
This market basically involves the bettor predicting the team that would win the game with a clean sheet, which is a 2-0, 1-0 type of win. It’s also a very profitable outsider market in football betting. And why is that? An outsider team could decide to play a defensive game throughout the match and boom! Get lucky to score a goal against the favorite team.
Betting on outsiders is basically because of their high odds. Another common and profitable outsider market you should try out is the “who will score the first goal” market an interesting thing about this market is that you can bet in advance, that is, before the game starts.
This market gives you an average of 2-3 odds per game. If you then decide to pick 6 of this game type you would have a Quota of 60odds altogether. Sometimes, all the selections don’t win but winning about 2-3 of all six selections still means something.
Let’s try to be more practical. For instance, you stake €1 on a single bet. A combination of 6 games gives you a total stake of €6 supposing you lose all games your stake is gone but if you win, you earn €60.
If only 3 out of the 6 selections win you would still go home with about €25-30 which is still a big win. Some professionals have studied this market for a long time now, and they found out that favorites win only hits about 50%- 60%, giving the bettor about 50-40% chance of winning. This is definitely worth trying!
