Williamhill.com – Betting on Football
Category: Internet Betting
There are many ways of betting on football games; ‘Correct score’, ‘half time – full time’, ‘over-under’, ‘and first player to score’, etc, etc. Most people, however, don’t realise that many of these different bets are actually equivalent to each other and depend on the same outcome at the end of the game.

For example; betting on ‘half time/full time’ requires the same outcome as the straight full time result. So, placing a bet on Manchester United to be winning at half time and full time, is the same as placing a bet on Manchester United to win the game, but the difference is the odds – in the ‘half time/full time’ market the odds are considerably higher which means you can place a lower stake at higher odds. Of course, it doesn’t mean there is the same chance of you winning, but it is useful if you are betting in-play and you want to see how the game pans out before going ‘all-in’!
A favourite bet for seasoned gamblers is to place a small stake on 0-0 correct score and then bet in-play. The 0-0 correct score is the same as draw/draw in the ‘half time/full time’ market and a straight draw in the ‘win-draw-win’ market.
So, if there is a team playing that you strongly fancy to win, the bet on the 0-0 correct score is insurance against a boring no goal game. Odds on 0-0 are typically between 8-1 and 12-1 decreasing to around 4-1 if the score is 0-0 at half time. Given this scenario, you might be hoping that the game does indeed end up a boring draw.
It can be quite interesting discovering bets that are equivalent to each other but with vastly differing odds. Take time to look around at the odds available and you could be betting with smaller stakes for greater returns!
