How to Bet on the UEFA Futsal Champions League

Outright

This is a bet that can be placed at any point during the tournament. It is simply a bet on which team will be the overall winners and lift the trophy.

Match Result

This bet is on who will win individual matches. The odds for this market are calculated by the bookie from past head to head results between the two teams, the form of both teams, which team has home advantage and many more statistics. Despite this, punters can draw their own conclusions when doing their research and decide whether the odds offered are worth taking the risk on. When it comes to which team will win the match, the favourite will have shorter odds and the underdog will have longer odds.

Double Chance

If the match result bet is too risky, punters can opt to try out the double chance bet. The market takes its name from the fact that punters have two chances to win. There are three possible bets, each of which covers two of the game’s possible outcomes: home team to win or a draw, away team to win or a draw, or home team to win or away team to win.

Total Goals Over/Under

Bets can be placed on how many goals will be scored in a game between the two teams. A number of options will be presented, such as 1.5, 2.5, 3.5 and so on, and punters simply bet on whether the total number of goals will be higher (over) or lower (under) than this number.

In matches between high scoring teams, this bet can be a highly attractive prospect, as fans can use their imagination to predict how many goals will be scored and can place some bets with massive odds.

The same over/under concept is found in many more betting markets, so it is important to understand.

Handicaps

Handicaps can be set on teams to create more favourable odds. There are often several options, such as -1.5, -2.5, -3.5 and more, or they can be positive handicaps with the same values, +1.5, +2.5 +3.5 and more. These represent the numbers by which the scoreline can be adjusted. To give an example, if a bet is put on a team to win with a handicap of -2.5, this will mean the team has to win the game by at least 3 goals ahead of the other team for the bet to win. A positive handicap will shorten the odds, but it will be a safer bet because the team will have an advantage over their opponents. For example, with a positive handicap of +2.5, the bet will win if the team wins the game or loses by no more than 3 goals.

Commonly, a negative handicap will be placed on the favourite to increase their odds, or a positive handicap will be placed on the underdog to increase their chances of winning.

Game Props

Game props include some specific bets that are bound to excite any punter. There are plenty of bets that come in selections, with over/under bets that work in the same way as the total goals bets. The total number of fouls, corners, cards and more are all bets that can have multiple betting options to allow punters to place bets with longer or shorter odds.

Game props can also include a number of two way bets, such as first team to score, will there be a red card in the match, will a player score from a set piece, and more. These bets certainly add to the fun factor and can liven up the game for spectators.

Punters looking for the extremely specific bets can try the correct score prediction bets. Here, they will have to predict what the final score will be, a difficult bet to predict, but the odds offered are huge and can be quite tempting.

Player Props

Player props may include the bet for which player will be named man of the match. This is one of the hardest bets to predict, but it offers very high odds. A well placed bet on which player will be man of the match can bring some huge winnings, and as a side bet it is an appealing bet for fans wishing to support their favourite player. There are plenty of other player props available, such as on specific players to score or foul.
