How Does Spread Betting Work In Football

👉🏻👉🏻👉🏻 ALL INFORMATION CLICK HERE 👈🏻👈🏻👈🏻

Football spread betting works by playing on a 'spread' or prediction on the number of things to happen in a match.
Step 1: Choose a spread market on a match. E.g. the 'spread' on Total Goals may be 2.8 - 3.
Step 2: Decide if you think the final outcome will be higher or lower than the spread.
Step 3: If higher (e.g. more than 3 goals) you would buy. If lower (fewer than 3 goals) you would sell.
Step 4: Your profit or loss depends on the difference between your buy or sell level and the final outcome, multiplied by your stake.

To place a football spread bet, look at the Spreadex prediction or spread on the market in question.
If you think the outcome will be higher than our price, then you would buy on the spread.
If you think the outcome will be lower than our price, then you would sell on the spread.
The more right you are the more you can win, but the opposite is the case if you get it wrong, as you may lose more than your initial stake.

Heading into the evening’s Champions League quarter-final, you think a particularly in-form striker is going to get a bagful, so take a look at Spreadex’s Player Goal Minutes spread betting market.

Spreadex is quoting Player A Goal Minutes at 29-32, so you decide to buy £2 at 32. The striker continues their blistering run and scores a hat-trick, with goals in the 23rd, 52nd and 77th minutes. That leads to a Player A Goal Minutes make-up of 23 + 52 + 77 = 152, leading to a profit of £240 ((152 – 32) x £2).

Say, however, the striker doesn’t have such a hot night, and they only score in the 23rd minute. That means you would end up with a loss of £18 ((23 – 32) x £2).
It’s the opening game of the Bundesliga and you think a hotly-tipped player is going to flop on the big stage, so take a look at Spreadex’s Player Goal Minutes spread betting market.

Spreadex is quoting Player A Goal Minutes at 35-38, so you decide to sell £2 at 35. As you suspected, the player bottles it, failing to find the back of the net. This leaves you with a profit of £70 ((35 – 0) x £2).

Let’s say, however, that the forward does score, but in the 29th minute. That would still leave you with a profit of £12 ((35 – 29) x £2).

But what would happen if you got it wrong? The forward bags a first half brace, with goals in the 13th and 32nd minutes, leading to a Player Goal Minutes make-up of 45. That would mean you’d make a loss of £20 ((35 – 45) x £2).
In-play football bets allow you to open or close bets at any point after kick-off up until the final whistle meaning you can close out of your bets early either to take profits or to cut losses.
At Spreadex we offer in-play football betting on every Premier League game, regardless of whether the game is being shown live on television.
If you’ve never placed football bets in-play before, simply visit the Spreadex site on your computer, tablet or phone when you are watching a live football match and watch as our prices change throughout the game.
If you disagree with a prediction made by our trader on a certain market at any time, then that signals your chance to place an in-play bet and back your judgement!
This is the predicted margin in goals, by which one team will beat another and the price, or spread, will indicate which team is being placed as favourite over the other.
For example Spreadex may quote Team A over Team B with a Supremacy price of 0.6 - 0.8. If Team A beats team B 4-1 the Supremacy price will make-up at 3 (4 – 1 = 3). So a £10 buy at 0.8 in this instance will result in a £22 profit ((3 – 0.8) x £10 = £22).
However, the market can also have a negative make-up. So if Team B beats Team A 1-0, the Supremacy price will make-up at -1 (0 – 1 = -1). So the £10 buy at 0.8 would result in an £18 loss ((-1 – 0.8) x £10 = -£18).
Total Goals: The total number of goals we think will be scored in a match.
Shirt Numbers: The combined total of all the goalscorers’ shirt numbers in a match. 
First Match Goal: The time, in minutes, of the first goal in a match (0-0 draw makes-up at 90).
Total Goal Minutes: The combined total, in minutes, of all the goals scored in a game.
Last Match Goal: The time, in minutes, of the last goal in a match (0-0 draw makes up at 0).
Player Goal Minutes: The combined total, in minutes, of goals scored by a named player in a match.
Total Points: The number of points a named team will achieve during an entire league season. For example, Spreadex may quote Manchester United’s Team Points at 76 - 77.5. Buy at 77.5 if you think United will end with 78 points or more. Sell at 76 if you think United will end with 75 points or fewer.
Championship Index: We award Premier League teams points according to their final league position. The champions receive 60 points, 2nd = 40, 3rd = 20, 4th = 10, 5th = 5 points.
Relegation Index: We award teams points according to their final league position. Predict the points total a named team will achieve. The team that finishes last is awarded 50 points, 2nd bottom 25, and 3rd bottom 10.
Corners: A prediction on the total number of corners that will be taken in a match, by both teams. So if Team A takes 8 corners and Team B takes 5 corners the market will make-up at 13.
Multi-Corners: The number of corners taken (for both teams) in the first half, multiplied by the number of corners taken (for both teams) in the second half. 
Cross-Corners: The total number of corners taken by one team, multiplied by the total number of corners taken by the other team. 
Corners Squared: The total number of corners taken in a match, squared. E.g. if there were 12 corners taken in total in a match, this market would make-up at 144 (12 x 12).
Match Bookings: For every yellow card in a game we award 10 points, for every red card we award 25 points. There is a maximum make-up of 35 points per player.

Player Card Minutes: A spread for each player based on the minute that player receives a yellow card. If the player does not receive a yellow card during the match, the market makes up at 0. Red cards count double, with the maximum make-up per player 270. 
Cross Bookings: Team A's Total Bookings Points multiplied by Team B's Total Bookings Points.
Multi-Bookings: 1st Half Match Bookings Points multiplied by 2nd Half Match Bookings Points.
Home/Away: Predict the difference between total goals scored by the home teams and the total goals scored by the away teams over a group of matches. If the home teams scored 6 goals in total and the away teams scored 8 goals overall, the market would make-up at -2.
Total Goals: Predict the combined number of goals scored across a number of matches. 
Fastest Goal: The time, in minutes, of the fastest goal scored from a selected group of matches. 
Spreadex Bankers: A number of named teams are each awarded 25 points if they win, and an extra 25 points is awarded if all named teams win. Predict the combined points total for the named teams. If team A won, team B won and team C won the market would make-up at 100.
25:10 Index: Spreadex awards the winning team 25 points and the losing team receives zero. If the game is a draw, both teams receive 10 points. 
Team Performance: Spread based on the following occurring in a match: Win = 25 points, draw = 10, goal = 15, clean sheet = 10, each corner taken = 3, each yellow card = -5, each red card = -15.
Match Performance: Spread based on the following occurring in a match: Goal = 15, corner = 3, yellow card = 5, red card = 15, penalty awarded = 10, 0-0 draw = -25.

Home » Soccer Betting » Spread Betting
Are you serious about making money from betting on soccer? If you answered yes to that question, then you’re going to want to limit the number of mistakes you make. There’s an article in our soccer betting guide that actually addresses the common mistakes made by soccer bettors. This article is designed to help people identify the errors they are making that will inevitably cost them money. One of the mistakes we mention is ignoring the many alternative betting opportunities that soccer presents.
We understand why so many people have a tendency to want to stick to the simple wagers they are comfortable with. However, understanding the different types of soccer wagers is one good way to improve your chances of identifying better opportunities. By learning how to use the right type of wager in the right situation, you’ll find it much easier to find value in the betting markets.
In addition to using alternative wagers, you should also consider spread betting on soccer. This is an entirely different way to gamble on soccer, and it can be very profitable. There can be a great deal of risk involved, however, which is why it’s vital to make sure you understand what you’re doing. That’s why we’ve written this article. We explain what spread betting is as it relates to soccer, provide some useful tips and advice, and discuss some recommended strategies.
We want to make one thing very clear before we get started. Spread betting is NOT the same as betting on the point spread. Also known as handicap betting, the point spread is a very popular way to wager on sports. Looking at the United States, in particular, people use this form of betting on American football, basketball and ice hockey. Although their names are similar, they actually have very little in common.
Let’s quickly explain how a point spread works, just so you’ll understand the differences. With the point spread, you’re making a fixed odds wager on a game. In this type of wager, the favorite is effectively deducted points (or goals in the case of soccer) and the underdog is awarded points. These adjustments in the points/goals are referred to as the spread. Here’s an example.
If you backed Hull City on this point spread, you’d win your wager as long as one of the three outcomes occurred: they won, they drew or they lost by less than 1 goal. This is because 1.5 goals are “added” to their score for the purposes of the wager. If you backed Watford, you’d need them to win by at least two goals. This is because 1.5 goals are “removed” from the score for the purposes of the wager. When you win, you’re paid out based on the agreed odds (1.91 in this case). When you lose, you are giving up your initial stake.
Spread betting DOESN’T involve fixed odds, and you don’t simply win or lose.
These are the key differences. With spread betting, there are no odds involved at all. There’s no fixed stake or fixed payout either. Instead, wagers are settled based on how accurate (or inaccurate) your predictions were. The more right you were, the more you win. The more wrong you were, the more you lose.
In some respects, spread betting is a little like betting the over/under. The bookmaker sets a spread for a specific market, and you have to predict whether the relevant total will be higher or lower than the spread. But instead of just winning or losing your wager based on the outcome, how much you win or lose depends on how much higher or lower the relevant total is.
We realize that this probably comes across as way more complicated than it actually is. We’re going to use an example to make this easier to understand. Here’s how a spread betting market might look for the total number of goals scored in a soccer game.
Newcastle Utd. vs Leeds Utd. Total Goals
As you can see, there are two options here. We can sell at 2.30, or we can buy at 2.50. Do not confuse these numbers with odds, as they actually just relate to the number of goals. We “sell” at 2.30 if we’re expecting there to be LESS than 2.3 goals, and we “buy” at 2.50 if we’re expecting there to be MORE than 2.5 goals. The difference between the two numbers is called the spread. Sound familiar? You guessed it! That’s where this form of betting gets its name.
The amount of money we make or lose on our wagers is determined by a combination of three things.
Let’s say that we’d chosen to buy at 2.50, for a $10 stake. If there were more than 2.5 goals in the game, we’d win. Our payout would be calculated by multiplying our stake by the difference between the number of goals scored and the number of goals we bought at. So if there were three goals, for example, we’d win $5. Three minus 2.5 is 0.5, which gives us $5 when we multiply that by our $10 stake. If there were four goals, we’d win $15. Four minus 2.5 is 1.5, which gives us $15 when we multiply that by our $10 stake.
If there were less than 2.5 goals in the game, we’d lose. Our losses would be calculated in the same way. If there were no goals scored, for example, we’d lose $25. 2.5 minus zero is 2.50, which is $25 when multiplied by our $10 stake. If there was just one goal scored, we’d lose $15. 2.5 minus one is 1.5. Multiply that by our $10 stake and we get $15.
The principle is pretty much the same when selling, but in reverse. If we chose to sell at 2.30, we’d win if there were less than 2.3 goals scored and we’d lose if there were more. The amount we’d win or lose would be calculated using the same principle we just outlined.
As you can see, spread betting really isn’t that complex at all: not once you understand the basic concept. You buy when you expect the relevant total to be higher than quoted, and you sell when you expect it to be lower. How much money you’ll win or lose is calculated by multiplying your initial stake by the difference between the final total and the number you bought or sold at.
Where spread betting starts to get more complicated is with all the different markets available. Not all of the markets are as straightforward as the total goals market we just used in our example. Let’s take a deeper look at the various markets that are available.
The bookmakers that offer sports spread betting usually have a huge range of markets available for soccer games. We’ll start by listing some of the simpler markets below.
Each of these markets works in the same way as the total goals market. The bookmaker sets a spread, and you have to decide whether the final total will be higher or lower. For total corners, you’re wagering on how many corners there will be in a game. For total bookings, you’re wagering on how many bookings there will be in a game. And so on.
In addition to these markets, there are some other over/under type markets that are a little more complex. These include the following.
For total shirt numbers, you’re wagering on the aggregate total of the shirt (jersey) numbers of all the players who start the match. This is what we would consider to be a novelty market, and not one we recommend getting involved with. Unless you have inside information about which players are going to start a game, it basically comes down to an educated guess. This isn’t really a problem for anyone just betting for fun, but it’s not a good way to make money in the long run.
For total goal minutes, you’re wagering on the cumulative total number of minutes on the clock when any goals are scored. For example, let’s say a game featured three goals and they were scored on the 21st, 42nd and 65th minutes. The total here would be 128 (21 + 42 + 65). Again, this is a novelty market in our opinion. Some people believe they can make informed judgements here, but we’re not really sure how.
Total team goal minutes and total player goal minutes work in the same was as total goal minutes. They’re just based on the goal minutes for a specific team or specific player.
There are lots of other markets for soccer games too. Most of these are even more complicated, and many of them are just simply not worth experimenting with. There are a few exceptions though. Here’s a list of the ones we recommend learning about.
Win index markets are quoted per team. The exact rules vary from one bookmaker to another, but these are usually points based markets where teams are awarded points based on whether they win, lose or draw. For example, a bookmaker may award 25 points for a win, 10 points for a draw, and 0 points for a loss.
Here’s how a win index market might look for the Newcastle United versus Leeds United game we mentioned earlier.
