I prefer betting on the match result rather than betting on the exact score even if the odds are really tempting.
But to each his own, some players prefer high risk bets which bring high rewards.

Good luck with the competition and 5 correct guesses out of 78 isn't that bad if you ask me

Thanks! I think it's pretty bad, but it's my first time taking part in such a competition, so I don't have high expectations.
As for exact score, I noticed that for some reason the lowest or one of the lowest odds is often on 1:1, even though it's a draw, so not very likely as an outcome. For instance, I've just opened a random EPL match (Newcastle vs Chelsea), and even though the draw is way less likely than Chelsea winning, 1:1 score is the third among the most likely outcomes.

guessing the exact score is verry hard and you got 5 correct guesses which i think already decent . what is the "result " mean . is that predicting if who will win the game ? and you only got 12 out of 70 plus matches i think that was not cool .

It should be considered in a combination. Out of 78 matches, I had the right outcome 34 (12+17+5) times. Not great, not terrible IMO. And out of these 34 correct guesses, 5 times I got the score exactly right, 17 times I got the outcome (guessed the win team) right and almost got the score right (hence it's called "close"), and 12 times I got the outcome right, but the score was not close to the one I predicted.

arent you familiar on the teams that are playing ? or your badluck just strike that time . im curious if what is that all for . you can exchange your earned points for prizes of something like that ? . playing that simillar guessing game is not risky because it was point based so im definetly gonna go for predicting scores than on wins .

Making the decision between these 2 options is easy for me. I would definitely go with 1x2. Because it is very hard to guess the score of a match correctly most of the time. It is like playing a lottery. The chances may not be equal but you know what I mean.

It is way easier to guess who will win the match or whether the match will end in a draw.

It is certainly easier to predict a winner, and this is my most common bet.
Betting on an exact score usually gives a bigger reward, but its crazy to bet on it too early, as it isn't rare to change the board in the last minutes of the game.

However, sometimes I risk an exact score if there are 10 or15 minutes left before the end of the game, and I'm sure that I will win in 1x2 bet

The correct scores are best for those with the spiritual eyes Grin

, don't get into this type without the eyes of the dog(native men will only understand). Personally, i love it when it's double, win or loss, first half win or loss, red-cards or corner kicks among others. This enable me make some good skills in risk management, and this has helped me in the past. Although, there are friends with this type of betting (correct scores) but mostly thy often fall into the prey of the enemies of losses at the end.

Correct score is only good as a side bet even if you get lucky it's still very difficult to maintain a profitable record compared to 1x2. The only time I would take correct scores is if there's an extra reward for it like promotions, free bets or contests. 1x2 is just better overall it's hard to recommend correct scores unless there's a league that consistently ends with certain scores.

Despite of slight consistencies with the scores, things are really hard to determine especially with the scores. Most of the time scores of each teams are less than 3 but there are those "lucky days" wherein a team could score higher which may result to loss for the bettors. I'd still go with betting on which team will win because the odds are smaller as well as winning ratio. Also there are more basis which could be factors for a bettor to determine the winning team such as their stats, and popularity of the team in general. I am not really into football betting games but I think, in such way, the risk is smaller than to correctly predicting the end scores.

Except for risk-free bet or competition like the EPL Pool or similar competitions I'd never bet on the correct scoreline.

Yeah, I hear you. If you get some points for outcome and more for the score, it's actually a very good deal. But the score itself is tough. I got it right 5 times so far, and got it 6 times. It's a very low success rate out of 78.

You can tell by the odds it displayed and 1x2 always has the lower odds as it's simpler to pick, that's why most gamblers will prefer betting on it.

I've not joined a gambling competition yet but usually in a competition, it's mostly a game that is not easy to win because it's where the challenge makes the game exciting.

By the way, where can we see this competition?

The thing about the odds is that I've already started a discussion about low-risk bets some times ago, and it turns out that the majority does not find them attractive (I mean the odds less than 3.5 or something like that). So people might be betting on the score, which is why I created the thread. It seems from the replies, however, that those odds are too high, and people prefer 1x2.
The competition is happening on Superbru, and here's the link to the discussion thread on Bitcointalk: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/sportsbetios-english-premier-league-football-pool-discussion-thread-4479837.

I've opened threads on gambling behavior and multi vs single bets before, and this one is another question I'm interested in to understand what the majority of this gambling community prefers. If you bet on soccer matches, what kind of bets do you prefer? Is it 1x2 bets or are you into something more risky like predicting the correct score? What do you choose more often?
As for me, I prefer the simple 1x2 bets because predicting the winner is often much simpler than predicting the score. However, I'm participating in Sportsbet EPL Pool, and there we're predicting the correct score of every EPL match (although you do get a point for guessing the outcome correct, so it's not as risky as placing bets on the correct score). So far, I've predicted the score correctly only 5 times out of 78 matches, so betting on the score is definitely not a good thing for me.

As you said predicting the score is a hard Task , at the same time it's genuinely something very complicated. Some people might predict the score like: More than 40 or less than 40 , something like that is comparatively easier.

When we talk about choosing winners in this we also have a sub category of choosing the winning team. This actually cuts off the complications a lot.

So you can do the following things as I understand:
Choose the winner
Choose the team
Choose the score
Choose the score based on an arbitrary number eg. Might be more than x or less than x

Now what people are doing depends on them. Some might prefer one or the other and at the end of the day I believe it's more like personal preference.

Predicting the winning team for me, I don't really want to bet on a riskier game and the most easier to predict will the winning team to bet, in predicting the correct score I think this will be possible if you can bet on gambling if the game is nearly on its ending time, well if you really want to be on the safe side I think winning team is still the safest, but it will be your decision if you are good at predicting the score.

1x2 naturally. Even people who don't gamble would know that the risk in guessing the final score is far more difficult than guessing the winner in a match. The saying bigger rewards always comes with bigger risk is always true imo, and the same goes for this. Even if you are able to win more in terms of predicting the score, the risk of doing so outweighs the benefits imo. Not really worth the effort and time to predict the final score. It'd actually probably be a lot better to play some slots with the money you're going to use for that.

Of course, everyone would be loving 1x2 bets as they are much easier to predict with a good odds. I would never bother to predict score as I am failed to win in 1x2 bets most of the times.
Nevertheless, there will be people who would bet on predicting the exact bet but with much higher odd. So far, your score predicting ratio is only 6.41% and guess which odd best suit such winning ratio.

of course most of players will play in 1x2 and not correct score.

in correct score, despite odds are on top, it's not worth the effort since there is an high risk for each bet. Sometimes I place some quick bets on betting exchange since I can cover (back or lay) them with a good profit (around 3-10%) in just few minutes.

The exact score is hard to hit. And just as you said, we have the same preference for tuning in which team is going to win instead of predicting the correct scores.
I'm not betting on soccer but checking the preference, it's easy to determine that I'll do the same as you if ever I'll start betting on soccer in the future.

there is more risk to predicting the right score, but there are also better quotes on those prediction, as far as i am concerned, i do not play correct score on games that i planned to watch, it is simply not interesting to see your correct score in the first half, and they watch with goal to see no more goals in the match
but, there is a value in bet, if you play on correct score 1:1 instead of draw, it is pure statistics, and more often than not, games that are draw at the end, finish 1:1

in my opinion, betting on the correct score of a game is a really bad idea, it's good only if you it's live, like a team is leading 2-0 and you think both teams won't score another goal, what i prefer to bet on is just like to what other people said here, over or under and handicap, pre-match and live aswell.

I prefer Over / Under, BTtS, Draw No Bet, and Asian Handicap but at first I mostly bet on Double Chance and slowly left it because for me it was less effective but depending on the situation and conditions too, sometimes I also bet on Ht / Ft. Now, this is where there is a change or difference when betting at local and online bookies, because when I bet at the local bookies, I bet 1x2 more often and that's definitely done or the other choice is Asian Handicap but for Correct Score, this is a type of bet which I have never chosen especially bet with a higher money because honestly it is a difficult bet, but if you want to try it with less money I think there is nothing wrong and it all depends on the situation and conditions.

My favorite prediction when betting soccer and I choose 1x2 as correct prediction and some time I choose double chance for both winning although not all time give me lucky. I think better to choose 1x2 as betting just know which one team or country playing, if looking have the same power and have full team both club I will choose draw but my favorite score betting is 1x2 and double chance win. I know many people choose which one team make first goal and have other gambler looking for chance to prediction with team make second or third gold in match, have any choose but for me still 1x2 as good choose for betting and double chance too.
