How to Bet on Virtual Football Leagues

However, there is one big difference between betting on regular football and virtual football. When betting on the virtual game you do not need to worry about player injuries, the weather, and so on. The result is completely computer generated and only by studying the available odds can you gain an insight into how the match may end.

How to bet on Virtual Football League

Virtual football games can be bet on in the same way as real life football games. This means that there are a vast number of bets available and it is possible to put together some advanced betting strategies.

Match Winner

The simplest bet is betting on the match winner. Al you have to do is pick a team, if they win, then so do you.

Double Chance

This bet comes with slightly shorter odds as it greatly reduces the risk. The Double Chance bets covers two of the three possible outcomes of a match. You can bet on home team win or draw, away team win or draw, or home team win or away team win.

Goal Handicaps

The aim of the handicap market is to make betting on the favourite more attractive as it lengthens the odds on them. The favourite is given a goal handicap that they must overcome. For example, the favourite may have a handicap of -2.5. For that bet to win, the favourite must win the match by at least 3 goals. The market will gives the underdogs a 2.5 goal advantage, which means that by backing them you are betting on them to win or to lose by no more than 2 goals.

Draw No Bet

This bet is similar to the double chance, but comes with longer odds. The bet will pay in full if the right team wins, but if the match ends in a draw then the value of the bet is returned.

Halves or Full Time

It is possible to bet on the individual halves of a match in the same way as you would bet on the match as a whole. This means you can bet on the number of goals scored in each half, on which team will win each half, and so on. It opens up some interesting strategies. For example, you could bet on a team to be winning at halftime and then go on to lose the match.

Over/Under and Totals Bets

There are many options when it comes to over/under and totals bets. These are not directly connected to the match result, they can involve aspects of the game such as number of goals, penalties, corners, fouls, cards and many more.

A typical bet is on Total Goals. The market supplies a value, such as 3.5, and you bet on whether there will be over that number of goals (i.e. 4 or more) or under (i.e.3 or less). There are many similar markets and they can be a great addition to any betting strategy.

Proposition Bets

These are normally yes/no bets and they can relate to almost any aspect of a game. There are bets such as will there be a penalty in the game, will one of the teams score a goal, correct number of goals, both teams to score, even or odd number of goals and many more.

Many more bets

There are many more bets available and each of them can contribute to your betting strategy. You are also able to build parlay bets. This is when you combine two of the above bets into one. For you to win your bet, both predictions must prove correct, and as a result the odds are often much longer. For example, you could bet on Brazil to win a game and score at least 3 goals in the process. Take the time to consider all of your options carefully and with a bit of luck, you will soon be celebrating many winning bets.
