Tutorial for Soccer Betting

The biggest difference between money line betting for soccer and other sports is that soccer offers a third betting option - the draw. This obviously isn't a factor in most of our more familiar sports in most cases, but regular season soccer games frequently end in a tie. The draw is a potentially lucrative bet when used properly because the payoff is often higher than either of the other potential bets on the game. On the other hand, the presence of the draw means that you are only dealing with a theoretical one-in-three chance of being right with a money line bet instead of a one-in-two chance in baseball, so you need to make sure that the odds are significant enough to make the extra risk worthwhile.
