\n We believe that the best way to understand a tricky subject is by looking at examples. That's why we've put together four of the most common spread options with a detailed example to make sure there's no confusion.<\/p>\n\n
\n The first betting type is known as football minutes. In spread betting, there are a number of bet types that relate to the exact time of an event<\/strong>. The most common market measured by minutes is goals, i.e. in what minute a team will score a goal. Times are displayed in a range of a few minutes, as shown in the image below; if a team is likely to score early, their number will probably be lower.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
If you buy ‘1st Man City goal' (38-41)<\/strong> at \u00a31 per minute and they score in the 61st minute, you win 61-41 = \u00a320. On the flip side, if De Bruyne decides to hammer one home in the third minute, that will add up to 3 – 41=-\u00a338, meaning you have to shell out \u00a338.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/li>\n \n \n
\n
\n <\/div>\n

As we all know, City won the match three-nil, scoring their first goal in the 37th minute. This means if you sold, you would have won \u00a31, and if you bought, you would have lost \u00a34.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n Here are a few more examples of a \u00a31 bet, depending on when the goal is scored. The first table shows a buy bet, whereas the second shows a sell bet.<\/p>\n\n

If you opt to sell instead, the reverse happens<\/strong> \u2014 you\u2019ll lose money if a goal happens late, and you\u2019ll win money on an early goal for \u2018sell\u2019 bets; the first number will be the deciding factor \u2014 in this case, 38.<\/p>\n\n\n The market is huge, and you can even bet on players scoring before or after a particular time. There\u2019s real value in this, but it\u2019s obviously risky to place a high stake.<\/p>\n\n
\n Finally, an interesting market that could yield massive wins is cumulative goal minutes<\/strong>. Here, all goal times of a match are added up to create a final score. The predictions are usually around the 100 mark. If four goals are scored and all of them come in the second half, you could be looking at huge winnings. It's yet another high-risk, high-reward bet.<\/p>\n\n\n Supremacy\n <\/h3>\n \n\n \n One of the more unique forms of betting, supremacy is a specialty of spread betting that is particularly popular in high-scoring sports\/markets that can change very quickly.<\/p>\n\n
\n Supremacy is about predicting the difference between the two teams in a particular market. In football, the final score, corners, and cards are the main markets for supremacy. Here is an example of corner supremacy<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n
(Source: Spreadex)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n Above are the Europe League semi-final corner supremacy odds<\/strong> \u2014 in both cases, the team named first is the favourite to take the most corner kicks. In the case of Juventus, it's predicted that they'll have 0.5 to 1.5 more corners than Sevilla. If you think they'll get more, you can opt to buy.<\/p>\n\n\n
\n
\n \n \n
\n
\n <\/div>\n
\n
You decide to place a \u2018buy bet\u2019<\/strong> on Juventus with a stake of \u20ac10, meaning you think Juventus will take at least two more corners. Let's say Juve takes eight in the match while Sevilla takes two.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/li>\n \n \n
\n

The difference is six, so the total amount above the predicted number is multiplied by your stake: 6-1.5 = 4.5. \u00a310 x 4.5 = \u00a345 \u2014 that's your winnings. However, if both have five corners, you lose your stake plus the difference; so 0 (difference in corners) – 1.5 = -1.5. \u00a310 x -1.5 = -\u00a315 means you have to pay out \u00a315.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n It's a risky market but it can bring high rewards; some teams dominate on corners and cards. In the Brighton v Everton game, the corner statistic was 15:1 \u2014 huge winnings if you bet on Brighton.<\/p>\n\n
\n Performance is similar in principle to card points<\/strong>, where instead of betting on the exact outcome of events, you can bet on an accumulation of points based on a set of criteria<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n Football performance betting often involves points for the final score, number of goals, cards, corners, and more. The following image shows some performance markets. Each spread bookie adds the ‘i' symbol to show punters what the performance points are about. In this case, the red odds are Sell, and the blue odds are Buy.<\/p>\n\n
\n
(Source: Sporting Index)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n We'll focus on the top two markets from the image as they're the most comprehensive, and if you understand these, you'll understand them all. Here are the criteria of the points for the first two markets:<\/p>\n\n

An extremely risky market; anything can happen in this kind of bet. In a bet on Rome, the team could win 5-0, get 10 corners and 0 yellow cards, which equals 25 (win) + 75 (5 goals) + 10 (clean sheet ) + 30 (10 corners) = 140 points and thus a high pay out. Or Rome could lose 0-5, get two corners and a red card, which equals 6 (2 corners) + -15 (red card) = -9 points. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/li>\n
\n \n
\n
\n <\/div>\n
\n
If you bet \u00a31 per point in scenario one, you win 140 (points) – 45 (predicted) = \u00a395<\/strong>. While in scenario two (Roma loss), your final score will look like this: -9 (points) – 45 (predicted) = \u00a354 loss<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n Binary\n <\/h3>\n \n\n \n The last set of markets you should know about are binary markets. This type of bet is only available on spread betting, and limits total points to 0 and 100<\/strong>. That means if you're right, 100 points are counted, and if you're wrong, it's counted as zero. Every other calculation remains the same.<\/p>\n\n\n

Take the top market: if you buy Roma to win for \u00a31 per point for 49, there are two possibilities. If Roma wins, you get 100 points. 100 – 49 = 51. \u00a351 won, Bosh! If Roma loses, you have 0 points. 0 – 49 = \u00a349 lost. The opposite is true if you sell; if Roma loses, you win 100 – 43 = \u00a357.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n
\n
This rule applies to all binary bets<\/strong>, and it's important to remember that the lower the predicted number, the lower your chances of winning.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n The shift from fixed odds betting to spread betting is so massive that many of the strategies used in regular betting are much less relevant here. Nevertheless, there are some universal tips that you should always keep in mind. Here are the best tips and strategies for football spread betting.<\/p>\n\n
\n
\n
\n
Take Your Time<\/p>\n <\/div>\n
\n There are literally hundreds of different betting options, and seeing them all at once can throw off even the most experienced fixed-odds bettor. We suggest that before you jump into the betting market, you take the time to go through the options until you find something you find interesting<\/strong>.find value in your bets<\/strong>. With so much choice, you are even more likely to find a market with more favourable odds.<\/p><\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
Understand the Market<\/p>\n <\/div>\n
\n There is no getting around the fact that spread betting can get complicated<\/strong>. The best way to ensure you do not lose money on bad bets is to understand the market itself.\n
\n
\n
Research, Research, and More Research<\/p>\n <\/div>\n
\n That's right! The most important part of any good bet is research. Although our gut may strike gold from time to time, pure facts and figures are the best way to go when betting.detailed football stats pages<\/a> are a great introduction to so many areas to delve into. When you know what's going on, you can better assess the value of your bets and place more informed wagers.<\/p><\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
Cash-Out Strategy<\/p>\n <\/div>\n
\n Nowhere is a cash-out more useful than in spread betting.<\/strong> With fixed odds you can avoid losing a bet by cashing out early, but with spreads there is so much fluctuation in a match that you can win the maximum amount possible by cashing out early.\n
\n
\n
Keep an Eye on Your Stake<\/p>\n <\/div>\n
\n One of the strangest aspects of spread betting is the way your stake works. Traditionally, the stake is the maximum you can lose; in football spread betting, even your losses are multiplied<\/strong>, resulting in higher losses.Make sure you do not bet more than the amount you are comfortable losing<\/strong>, and be sure you have enough funds in your account.<\/p><\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n
