Football Odds: How to pick the best odds
When placing a football bet, one important element is to know about the different odds on offer, what format those odds will be in, and how to actually place a bet on those sportsbook odds.
With this in mind, you have two options to select from at LeoVegas, and those are fractional odds and decimal odds. Fractional odds come in a fractional format such as 3/5, and this means that for every £5 you stake, you would receive £3 in return. Decimal odds have the format of odds x stake - stake. So, with decimal odds of 9 and a stake of £1, you would receive £8 winnings on top of your stake.
Football betting tips & predictions
Here at LeoVegas, we have a wide range of football betting tips and predictions that can be found on our blog.
When picking tipsters to back, it is worth noting that tipsters will never have a 100% win rate. Nothing in betting is guaranteed, meaning that when placing bets using tips and predictions, utilise your own knowledge to decipher which bets you would wish to follow and which predictions wish to avoid.

How does handicap betting work in football?
Commonly found in other sports such as basketball, handicap betting is the process by which an uneven game on paper is made more equal in our football betting markets. This is done by giving the favoured team a handicap, i.e. an obstacle to overcome. In the case of football, this is presented in the form of goals, with a -2 handicap for a team meaning that they would need to win the match by more than two goals for the bet to be successful.
How does handicap betting work in football?
In football, you can bet on the total number of goals in a football match. Sometimes the totals can be confusing as they are presented as decimal numbers rather than whole ones, for example; 2.5 goals. The reason is to avoid any doubt about whether a selection has been successful or not, as you can’t score half a goal. So, betting on under 2.5 goals in football would be a successful bet if the final score was 0-0, 1-0, 1-1, or 2-0. However, if more than 2.5 goals were scored, the bet would be unsuccessful.
Does my football bet include extra time or penalties?
This is a scenario that will depend on which bet you place, but most cases, the answer to this will be no. Unless specified when you place the bet, your bet will only be counted over the course of 90 minutes. For Cup competitions where extra time and penalties are applicable, you will often find that the bet will specify whether or not it covers the variable of extra time and penalties.
