Bet Types Explained

1. Both Teams to Score (BTTS) No

This type of bet means that we expect both teams to not score in any given game. The only results that would result in a winning bet would be 0-0 1-0 or 0-1.

2. Both Teams to Score (BTTS) YES

This type of bet means that we expect both teams to score in any given game. This would mean both home and away teams need to score, e.g. 1-1 or 2-1 or 5-1 or 1-3 would all be winning bets.

3. Under 2.5 Goals

As you are probably aware its impossible for .5 goals to be scored so this simply means than no more than 2 goals can be scored in the game. A winning bet would be either 0-0, 1-1, 2-0, 0-2, 1-0 or 0-1

4. Over 2.5 Goals

A winning bet for this type is basically any score line not included in the above example, which is any game with 3 or more goals in it. This would include scorelines such as 2-1, 3-1, 5-0 etc.

5. Asian Handicap

A very lucrative type of bet, but also one which we find is the one members are least familiar with. Generally the type of Asian Handicap bets we will cover in Goal King will be -1, -1.5, -2 and -2.5.

Example we might bet AH -1 Man Utd to WIN. This means we think Man Utd will win by 1 or more goals. If we look at the table we can see that to win this bet Man Utd must win by a 2 goal margin (e.g. 2-0, 3-1 or 4-2) If they win by one goal (e.g. 1-0 or 2-1) the bet doesn't win but it doesn't lose either instead the stake is refunded. To lose our stake the bet must draw (e.g. 0-0 or 1-1) or lose (e.g. 0-1, 0-2).

The rules are slightly different for -1.5 AH bets. For these as the table confirms there is no stake refund only win or lose. to win this bet we must win by 2 goals (this is the same as a -1 AH bet). The difference is that winning by 1 goal does not result in a stake refund, the bet simply loses.

For a -2 Asian Handicap bet, we need to win by 3 goals, if we win by 2 its a stake refund.

For -2.5 we need to win by 3 goals, but there is no stake refund.

Here is a table with what happens for each Asian Handicap bet...
