Match Result Bets

A match result bet is a simple bet placed on which team will win the game. For example, in a match between Barcelona and Cordoba, you can bet on Barcelona to win and if they do, then you win the bet. It couldn’t be simpler.

Handicap Bets

Handicap bets are designed to make betting on the favorite team more attractive. It gives the team a goal deficit that they need to overcome and this lengthens the odds, which means the chance of bigger winnings.

For example, if Cartagena is playing Levante and Cartagena is favorite to win, you could bet on Cartagena with a -1.5 goal handicap. The bet would then win if Cartagena wins the game by at least 2 goals, as this way they would have overcome the handicap. You can also do the opposite and bet on Levante to win with a +1.5 goal handicap and this bet will win if Levante win or lose by no more than 1 goal. However, it will shorten the odds.

Total Goals

This is a bet on the total number of goals scored by both teams in a match. It is presented as an over/under choice so that you do not need to pick an exact number. For example, in a match between Cartagena and Levante, you could bet on there being over or under 3.5 goals. If you think the game will see at least 4 goals then you bet over, if you think it will see 3 or less goals, then you bet under.

Betting on Halves

In Spain’s Primera División de Futsal, you can bet not only on the match result but also on the results of each half.

Essentially, you can bet on any combination that you can think of.
