It is difficult to trust in anyone when it comes to placing a bets. This must be considered if ever in placing our bets there have someone who would talked to us and will tackle about placing our bets. I am not saying that local bookmakers shouldn't be trusted but the time now wasn't like before, there have a lot of people used to trick others for the sake of their personal agenda. At the end of the day the most important decision lies on us to be able to spare from this kind of people.

Indeed. You are right. Perhaps we can accept what that person suggested to us. But we must search for another reference, especially if we can find the other data and know that it is valid to use the info from that person as additional data that will give us more inputs. The local bookmakers will suggest we select the team they want, but they can provide a wrong suggestion. As long as we can get the data from what we search from many sources, we can know what we should choose.

Statistically, the 1-1 should fall the most. Also of course depending on which country. In certain countries there are many goals. Italy used to be a 0-0 country.
If you use Betfair, then you can choose everything from 4-x as lay or back score.

In my case, I also prefer 1x2 bets because it is an easier compare to predicting the exact score as the chances that we are going to hit the correct guess is pretty slim like 20% and below unlike to 1x2 bets that we have 50/50 percent of chances to win.

Predicting the score correctly is pretty difficult to do even the professional gamblers can't easily hit the correct score in every game so I can consider that your prediction is already a good one for a normal gamblers, 5 correct guess out of 78 matches.

That is just a lottery for me and the possibility might be higher than lottery but still, you can't predict the future. There could be multiple overtime although its rare, it could happen. In my case, I guess guessing from 78 games, it would take me 20 to hit 1 so thats like 3 out of 78.

If you observe rather closely, there is a third option in a 1x2 bet which most of us often don't consider it as an option on first glance but should you have conflicting thoughts on making a prediction, it becomes real to you, that is, the x (Draw) option. When we see 1x2, our focus is often on the home or away win interpretation but then, it really narrows it down to three outcomes within a bet and certainly, one of it must play out. That's what makes it a much easier bet option compared to the correct score bet. Like you've rightly place it @OP, the much risky bet option and that's exactly what it is. It's possiblity or range runs upto a 100 options or more of which, only one would play out. So, what are your chances against such?
It's literally close to zero in many triers. This is why it comes with higher odds due to the high probability stake nature of it's outcome. You'll need a lot of luck for that pattern of bets. As for me, I'll go with the 1x2 pattern as it narrows than my options to only a handful of options.

Mostly I bet on a football match that I will watch later lively on tv. Since my main purpose on gambling is for entertainment, I find it more entertaining to have a bet on a football match that I watch..
Love the Idea  of the first and main goal why we watch and bet is to be entertained and winning is just a Bonus ,specially if our team is whom to Play .

I will follow behind you guys because we will enjoy watching the match and that can be an emotional situation when we win or lose because we do something with our money. But we will let it go if our reason is entertainment and having fun, especially if we bet with our friends who will enjoy what we did.

Yeah, it is really hard.

There are a lot of one-sided matches and based on the odds that the bookmakers placed, we could able to easily guess which is the favorite or not. But that doesn't ensure our win because we all know that it doesn't always play like that. Despite the odds, either team could win which makes it harder especially if you are having second thoughts.

Indeed. With having information and research by ourselves, we can easily guess which team has a chance to win. Speaking about bookmakers placed, my friend has an experience getting trick by the local bookmaker's place. The local bookmarker's place suggests him to choose the A team, and my friend follows him, but at the end of the game, he loses the money because the situation has changed. He complains to that man, but that man denied to trick him because that is my friend's risk. It is an example that no matters what other people suggest, we should research to find the right team.

Guessing with 1x2 will be easier to be right, while predicting the correct score the chance is very small but it is not impossible to get it right every now and then there are even members who are able to win the event two times, and I'm sure players who use real money will prefer 1x2 instead of guessing the match score.


Of course, the probability of winning one of the teams is much higher than the probability of guessing the score of the game.  That's why most players choose 1x2 bets. It is of course possible to guess the score by chance, but guessing the score for several games in a row is unlikely to work.
Not Unless you were very lucky that day but this will only happen once in every Blue moon so why would needed to predict the score when we can choose 1x2 ?

It is not practical for a gambler to make things harder when an easy win is just around the corner.

But of course depend on the event in which what is the demand to put, either to 1.x 2 or predict the game score.
It's a little bit strange to read that from you while you're not a newbie in gambling AFAIK  Undecided
Sorry but i don't find it strange pointing simple things ,because sometimes along our gambling commitments we forgot those small things that in time will make matter .Sorry if i have given you that impression but i don't mean to be that way.

Even expert pundits wouldn't predict the correct score the best they can do is to predict the likely winner between the two teams based on their own analysis, I used to follow Lawro BBC weekly  soccer analysis on English premier League an expert in that field link https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/55307810  however its often difficult for him get an accurate 1x2 score although there are few occasions when his predictions is accurate last week he got 3 correct score out of 10 thus less than average, I prefer under/over goals based on track records of a strong team playing a weaker team.

...

That's an interesting take on this situation, I didn't consider how watching the match is affected by the type of the bet. When a person bets on the team, it can also be stressful, no? But the score is about more pressure, I guess.

...

I believe I am not the only one who is this crazy around here to place a bet.
I usually did it when picking a bet that involves my favorite team.
I am a Manchester United Fan, I always bet on the opposite side (or at least a double chance bet) on most of the big match  Grin

as a United fan, it's a win-win for me.
I sacrifice my money for their 3 points or it could be United sacrifice their points to gives me money.
no stress inside Grin

Since my main purpose on gambling is for entertainment, I find it more entertaining to have a bet on a football match that I watch. By having a bet on 1x2, I can still enjoy the match. Correct score will just make me can’t enjoy the match. Because my focus is how many goal left until I can win the bet.
Most gamblers finds it difficult to place bet with correct score prediction and its hardly to play, there are some simple prediction option that at least gives out outcomes when placed successfully, over/under is a good option to consider when targeting winning in your bets slip.
Yes but as TedMosby said it's not the same thing when you watch an event. If you bet on a team or a player, you will support it and be happy if it finally wins, while if you bet on the score, you will just watch the contest like a bookmaker, with much less fun.
That's an interesting take on this situation, I didn't consider how watching the match is affected by the type of the bet. When a person bets on the team, it can also be stressful, no? But the score is about more pressure, I guess.


Predicting the winning team is often more easy to win that than to predict the correct score.  Its always hard to bet on the score, although if you always bet on 0-0 or 1-1 score, there are chances that you win some times but its need a lot of luck. I also recommend everyone to go the winning teams bets and not focus of any other bet.

When two strong and favorite team is colliding with good defense as their strong points, you can expect the score not higher than 5 I am not a big fan of soccer but I have a lot of friends who are,  a friend often told me it's hard to predict the right score results when two defensive team meets, most of the times it ended 1- 1 or 0-0.

To be honest it is truly hard to predict or put a bet in a sport which your betting ground was to predict the end score of the game. But it can be possible by how the two team played in progress while on game. From how they play, how they bring their team inside a soccer field may give us a hint that the score may not get that specific score higher than 2. I am a fan of soccer game and predicting end score of this game wasn't easy.
Yeah, it's very hard. Getting the result right can be tricky sometimes, but it's not that hard about half of the time (because it's the same as the outcome with the lowest odds  about half of the time in my experience), whereas the correct score is something very hard to guess for me.

Of course it's harder to predict scores than to predict 1x2 outcomes. But odds are not the same. So you will lose more often at those bets, of course, but you will make more profits when you'll win. It's just a matter of money management.

Well, sometimes i do bet on my favorite clubs but when it come to 1x2 vs correct score, i sincerely prefer to make some 1x2 bets more often than the correct scores. But when it come to my clubs play with others, i love going with the correct scores; this sometimes work for me and sometimes don't, but the beauty is: i will always surely watch those my favorite clubs without a miss. Although, the most easiest to win in sport-betting is going with the over/under.

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?
I'm not really a big fan of soccer as i'm NFL fan and bettor but i do bet sometimes when having a good mood watching the game.

I often choose 1x2 because never find more risk when there is simple way but big chance of winning.

Quote
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.

Looking at your stats ,you have only Get the Good hit 5x out of 78 plays ,meaning the statistics tell it more how risky choosing the score each game.

If that is to predict the score, I will give up because that will be too difficult. I don't have many predictions analysis about the score, but if that is for predicting the winner, I guess that perhaps, I will have a chance to win. But still, sometimes it is not easy to predict the winner because the situations and conditions can change if one team can rise and get more support from their fan or coach. We don't have to predict the score if we can't do that, but predicting the winner will be more comfortable than the score.

On entertainment aside of things then there are gamblers whom do just make out bets not for the sake of winning but only on being a die hard fan.
I cant see the enjoyment nor entertainment on betting on actual total scores and i do much prefer on betting on whose gonna win.I do see predicting
actual scores are really much harder and i agree that it isnt really that pleasant to guess on numbers rather than on the excitement that it gives when
you do bet on which one who will win the match.If it turns out for OP doesnt work this way then its better to go the other path around.

People think that prediction of game is very simple but when I go into it, I have to understand it and know that it's not really easy to predict life score games and it happen to enter, so I wants to know if really what is behind losing of bet after prediction thinking that it will enter.
Nobody should think of a game to enter until the game has finished and the bettor has won the game, even in some few minutes to the end of a match, the game can still change and go against what bettor staked. That is just game for us, we should see it as fun. There are times I chose the correct score and staked it with just little amount of money and it was correct and won the bet. Even if I lose the game, it took nothing from me because I use little amount for it. I can not just think a game has be won even when it has not finished but until I see the result.

true, and your bet on the correct score could be like 2-0 and the result could 1-1 in 20 minutes, and your bet is done, over and under bets live while watching is really good, i use sometimes, but pre match bets on 1x2 and handicaps are my favorite.

I never bet on the score of a match. Because it is too hard to guess it correctly. I usually play live bets on teams for scoring a goal. I think it is a safe way to make profit. However, there is a truth that no kind of bet guarantees winning. I just try to increase the probability of it.

Since as you said that predicting what team will win is much simpler, look at the odds, and sometimes it's not pleasing or worth to bet.

That's why others are shifting into other betting types even it's more challenging.

Simple = low odds
Difficult = fair/high odds

Most sport gamblers are switching to this type of betting as they've got a much better odds compared to
predicting who's going to win the game.
Obviously when there's a big difference between two opposing teams heavy favorites got a lower odd, not
enough to risk as you need to place decent bet to get something good out of it.
The kind of challenge where if you familiarized yourself the winning outcome is far better.

Since as you said that predicting what team will win is much simpler, look at the odds, and sometimes it's not pleasing or worth to bet.

That's why others are shifting into other betting types even it's more challenging.

True! Just like on what we do saw on parlays..It is a challenging one but really be worth once you do hit up the streak or the line.Some do really love to play with fire
yet we do have different level of confidence on making bets specially if we are really sure that it can happen.I do bet on difficult ways yet i do always prefer or do
stick with good odds rather than wasting my time with sure bet but not really worth for the profit.

Choosing and predicting the total score is likely closed to a losing bet. This is not the best option to take but rather to choose 1x2 where our chance is higher than what I've mentioned earlier.

In betting, we need to be wise, think about what could be the best. Though often to see that most of the outcome when it comes to gambling are losses, it doesn't mean that we just let things to happen instead, we need to take action on it in order to get the chance.

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  Smiley
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.
FYI in the last 8 matches between the two , they never get a draw since 2015 .
Chelsea win 6x
Newcastle win 2x
And the last time they had a score of 1-1 is 10 years ago which got me thinking you prefer go for another score like 1-0 for Newcastle to win as they often makes Chelsea struggle , they did win over chelsea 1-0 in January though .

Anyway That's a not bad stats you've got over there , guessed 5 correct score are indeed not so impressive but yeah noone will have a perfect prediction on this. The odds itself telling you it won't be easy.

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.

When it comes to correct score prediction then im just like yours where I do really suck with that one this is why I do only bet on lines like on whose gonna win
or considering on putting total score under or over.

I do much prefer these lines rather than on total score prediction.When it comes to risk then I can say that it is way more worst than choosing on which one
who gonna win.

Some are fan of choosing this option but I highly believe that majority is been avoid this.Am I right?

1x2 is sometimes difficult too but harder on correct score bet it made me think lose by selecting a score ,to be honest I join this world of gambling not long ago but both are also difficult because I often bet parlay ,sometimes I pick 1 or 2 and result of the match is a draw or x final result if there is one game that lose then average is crushed out with no win ,strategy is also not enough that I need maybe luck
I like to play on stake because I can see other people bet on the board so I like to copy their bet well sound mindless to bet but sometimes it's fun to get the adrenaline rushed

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
People think that prediction of game is very simple but when I go into it, I have to understand it and know that it's not really easy to predict life score games and it happen to enter, so I wants to know if really what is behind losing of bet after prediction thinking that it will enter.

No game is easy to predict until the match has ended, but it is still easier to predict the team to win a match than to go for correct score, but going for a correct score have higher odds because of the tiny chance to predict it correctly. I will prefer to go for who to win a match which is my normal correct way of taking bets, it is less risky, more predictable but it can come with low odds.

The biggest point that everyone here failed to mention is the liquidity differences between both markets. The 1x2 markets usually support way higher liquidities when compared to correct score markets for obvious reasons.

Most punters never seriously bet on correct score markets since no amount of research makes predicting them easier. However, it's easier to predict live correct score markets though the odds would be lower.

I believe that it is way easier to guess which team will win or if the match will end in a draw comparing to guessing the exact score of a match. For some matches, your possibility of guessing the exact score increases (e.g. a powerful team play against a weak team). But still, I wouldn't choose to bet on the correct score of a match.

These correct results are not always easy. I once checked what the most common result was. That was the 1-1. At Betfair you could then make good money on that.
The problems eventually started when you had a 1-1 score a few times, and then it hits your bankroll bad.

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. Smiley 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.

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 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.

I consider myself to bet alot of soccer but most of my bets are on the asian Handicap Market and the over/Unders.
I have tried betting the exact result, but its so much harder (yes thats why the odds are way higher).
I used to look at the correct score odds on Bet365 to kind of get a feel what the book thinks is going to happen, but I wasnt very lucky and lost more than I won.

So back to Asian Handicap, I cant even tell you how many times I have been screwed over by a late goal! Grin

I have a slightly better record than you, but still each of those 6 exact scores I predicted would have been within 3 - 5 odds, so I'll surely be a net loss If I were to be betting on the exact scores.

Predicting the winning team is often more easy to win that than to predict the correct score.  Its always hard to bet on the score, although if you always bet on 0-0 or 1-1 score, there are chances that you win some times but its need a lot of luck. I also recommend everyone to go the winning teams bets and not focus of any other bet.
