Football betting offers punters numerous exciting markets, each presenting a unique way to win big. Whether you’re a seasoned bettor or just starting out, understanding the most lucrative betting options can significantly improve your chances of success. Plus, with boosted odds on Maybets, you can maximize your winnings on these top football markets!

1. Match Result (1X2)

The most straightforward bet where you predict:

  • 1 – Home team wins
  • X – Draw
  • 2 – Away team wins

This market is popular due to its simplicity and competitive odds, especially in unpredictable leagues like the English Premier League (EPL).

2. Over/Under Goals

Bet on whether the total goals scored in a match will be over or under a set number (e.g., 2.5 goals):

  • Over 2.5 Goals – 3+ goals in the match
  • Under 2.5 Goals – 2 or fewer goals

With boosted odds on MayBets, you get better returns on high-scoring games!

3. Both Teams to Score (BTTS)

  • Yes – Both teams score
  • No – At least one team doesn’t score

This market is great when two attacking teams face off, increasing your chances of a win.

4. Correct Score

Predict the exact final score (e.g., 2-1 or 1-1). Though difficult, this market offers high payouts.

5. First Goalscorer

Bet on the player who will score the first goal. Star players like Erling Haaland or Mohamed Salah often attract bets in this category.

6. Accumulator Bets (Accas)

Combine multiple bets into one ticket. For example:

  • Man City to win
  • Over 2.5 goals in Liverpool’s match
  • Both Teams to Score in Arsenal’s game

All selections must win, but with MayBets’ enhanced Acca odds, your potential payout skyrockets!

7. Handicap Betting

A team is given a virtual goal advantage or disadvantage to balance the odds.

  • Example: Chelsea (-1.5) means Chelsea must win by 2+ goals.

8. Goal Range

Predict whether the total goals will fall within a certain range, such as 2-3 goals.

9. Draw No Bet

If your selected team wins, you win the bet. If it’s a draw, you get your stake refunded. This reduces risk significantly.

10. Double Chance

Cover two outcomes in a match:

  • Home Win or Draw
  • Away Win or Draw
  • Home or Away Win (no draw)

11. In-Play (Live) Betting

Place bets during the game, adjusting your strategy based on match events. Live odds on MayBets are among the best!

12. Asian Handicap

A more advanced version of handicap betting that eliminates the draw option, using half-goal increments (+0.5, -1.5, etc.).
