How to Bet on US National Women's Soccer League

Outright Bets

Outright bets are predictions made on the season as a whole. The most popular is a bet on the team to win the US National Women's Soccer League title. These bets are best placed at the very beginning of the season. However, you can bet once the season has started, but the odds may be less favorable.

For example, you could bet that the Portland Thorns will win the league. There are other outright bets, such as who will be the top goalscorer or which team will finish bottom of the league.

Match Result Bet

This is the simplest bet you can place on a single game. It is a bet on what the result will be. You can bet on either team to win or a draw. For example, in a game between OL Reign and Houston Dash, you could bet on Houston to win and as long as the team does, then you win the bet.

Double Chance Bet

This is a bet that covers two of the three possible match outcomes, giving you two chances of winning the bet. For example if Angel are playing Portland Thorns you could bet on a) Angel to win or a draw, b) Portland Thorns to win or a draw, or c) Angel to win or Portland Thorns to win.

Draw no Bet

This is another way of betting on the match result, but it reduces the risk as if the game ends in a draw, you receive your money back. For example, in a game between Gotham FC and North Carolina Courage, you could bet on Gotham to win but if the teams draw, your bet is refunded.

Total Goals Bet

Total goals bet is a prediction of the total number of goals a match will produce. The market comes with a betting line and you simply bet on whether there will be more or less than that number of goals.

For example, if Kansas City and Chicago Red Stars are playing the betting line may be 2.5 goals. If you think there will be 3 or more goals you bet over and if you think there will be 2 or less then you bet under.

Goal Handicap Bet

If there is a clear favorite to win a game, then the odds on them in the match result market may be very short. You can get longer odds by giving the team a goal handicap. Your bet then wins only if the team overcomes the handicap.

For example, if Orlando Pride is playing San Diego Wave, you could bet on Orlando Pride to win with a goal handicap of -2.5 goals. The bet would then only win if Orlando wins the match by at least 3 goals. Alternatively, you could bet on San Diego Wave to win with a handicap of +2.5 goals. That bet would win if the team win the match or lose by no more than 2 goals.

Player & Game Props Bet

Player prop bets are on player achievements in a game. For example, you could bet on North Carolina’s Kiki Picket to score a goal or for OR Reign to receive a red card. Game props are on in-game statistics, such as the number of free kicks, corners, or fouls. Often there are several prop bets available, so it is worth having a careful look at them all.

Live Bets

It is great fun watching a US National Women’s Soccer League match and you can make it even more exciting with live betting. You can bet on the game as it is taking place using the markets explained above. However, the odds will be adjusted in real time to reflect the action. You can also bet on the next thing to happen, such as the next team or player to score. If you keep a careful eye on the odds and the action, then you may spot some great opportunities.
