Most Popular Bets in Football

Accumulators

An accumulator involves placing a bet on multiple matches. As players are required to predict the outcome of three or more matches, the odds that come with accumulators are far higher and therefore more popular with punters. 

Correct Score

This is another self-explanatory bet, where you must place a wager on what the exact score of a match will be the final whistle blows. 

Goalscorer Betting

This is a very popular option for betting on football matches. It’s where you place a bet on a specific player scoring a goal at any given moment during a match. There is also an option where you can bet on which player will score the first goal of the match.

Draw No Bet

This bet lets you get your stake back in case the match results in a draw. If you bet on one team winning a match, and the match ends in a draw, your stake will be returned.
