In my country, the most typical bet is 1x2 without a doubt. Famous La Quiniela is played since 1946 and it consists in a pool or combination of 1x2 bets of all matches in a week. Those lucky enough to guess all results become millionaires.
I personally prefer other bets, more rare but with higher odds, like for example specific assists and things like that, because they make watching the match more interesting to me.
Topic: What’s your favorite market to bet on for football matches? - page 3. (Read 703 times)
I don't want to make things become complicated, so my favorite market are 1x2, both teams to/not score, and over or under.
I feel like corner kicks, cards etc are complicated, do people really care how many corner kicks and how many cards the teams got after the match ends?
Most people pay attention with the team who wins and some of them pay attention with the total goals.
Choosing player to score is really risky, the chance is low.

I prefer to use 1x2 bets, directly on potentially winning match results, it's much easier and simpler in my opinion, either a win or a draw we can choose for the match, would be even happier if there is a losing option, such as placing a short/sell trade on the trade. LOL
In addition, if with other betting options on soccer, such as cards, goals, corners are optional for me, it will only be done if I feel confident and want to try it because it is very difficult to predict, even a few times trying 1 in 10 I was able to guess correctly, of course it is a bad thing to determine the number of events on the type of bet in the match, but if it is correct, the reward must also be big, and that might be interesting for most people to bet on that kind of thing.

1x2 bet is always my worst choice because draw always destroying my prediction. I’m not a solid fan of football but I love watching it on world cup tournament or Olympics.
Betting over/under or handicap bet is my favorite because it’s much easier to create predictions by just knowing who’s the upper hand to determine what type of bet to choose.
I occasionally bet on first player to score or a certain player to score anytime which gives a huge odds even with high caliber player like Haaland and Mbappe.

I'm not really with football mqqtches that much but when I do, my bet is always with which team will win. Odds aren't that high unlike with other betting categories but for me it is less complicated as well to guess, and that works best for me. I also never experienced betting on draw because it rarely happens with matches but odds are big on this which is why it is tempting to some bettors. I'm more with basketball matches and that is where I am experimenting with odds and bets. Familiar with bet builder? Or having mixed predictions targeting different game or plaayer statistics. The reason why I don't do the same thing in football is because of overall game knowledge and confidence; since I'm more familiar with players in Basketball, I am able to embrace bigger amount of risk in terms of odds.
All options are good depending on the past history and records of the team and club, most times when picking I do give Home win or Away depending on both club playing.
Sometimes I will give according to the goals and this most be if their previous goals was above what I expected or are often scoring higher numbers then I will have to select by that, I don't have specific option to bet the market.
Indeed depending on player's preference. It is choosing what would work best for you although some people are just randomly placing bets and just embracing their luck for the outcome.

1x2 bets
1x2 bets are generally very popular because it’s a very easy bet to bet on. We can bet on home teams, away team and a draw, where no team will win:
1 means home team will win
x means a draw will happen
2 means aways team will win
This is my call in sports betting and has been a very good decision for me to keep me focused and avoid the greed of wanting to bet everything which causes most mistakes of sports bettors. It is the simplest form of betting which may not give much money unless we combine games, nonetheless, it gives better hope if one can plan it well. In my case, I make sure that I bet the tickets independently so that if one ticket is cut, others may still be there for me and I must say it has been a huge saving grace.1x2 bets are generally very popular because it’s a very easy bet to bet on.

Mind you, I do not go for x at all, I like to be decisive in this style, it is either I pick 1 or 2 and it has always been a good experience. Unfortunately, all my friends that I introduced this simple and conservative approach to always see it as a childish way of betting. They continue to bet without having anything to show for it, unlike me who has enough to show for it. I guess that settles it, but still, greed will not let them see it that way, they always want more.
Over or Under.
I am not watching football games but it's easy to have an idea of the total score by using game history as a reference to predict the match's score. This is a great option for those who don't have the time to watch the game but can still participate in betting. As long as there's a history of both teams who played with each other, it's possible to make the right choice. The only thing that I don't like is when the game ends with a draw scoreless although it rarely happens in professional leagues.
I think the hardest one of those choices is to predict the player to score a goal. It pays well but it's likely to lose.

There are more betting options and of course everyone will have their own favorites to make it easier to win, but every gambler also has their own way of predicting and analyzing what is worthy and has big chance of winning.
I personally much prefer betting on 1x2, double chance and also the number of goals because this is the easiest to bet on and also means I don't have to think about complicated analysis in predicting, I can easily choose the winning team and this also minimizes failure.
But still, usually all of this will give fairly small odd if the top team only meets weak team and has to use more money in order to have comparable win.
It just that whatever the betting choice, we still have to continue to observe the progress of the match and if there are several things that could appear to cause us to fail, we must be able to take precautions such as making cashout if there is one.

What I often choose in soccer betting,
Sometimes I also choose the build bet option to get bigger odds when the match is my favorite team by combining several options such as Asian Total, BTTS, corner kicks etc.
Regarding corner kicks, there are actually few bettors who choose this option. Even though this option actually has high odds just like Asian total.
- Asian Total
- BTTS (both teams to score)
- Asian Handicap

Usually I prefer to bet on 1x2, Over/Under/total Asia, odd/even, BTTS. Depending on the club that will play if it is difficult to guess who the winner is usually I prefer to bet on BTTS combined with Over/Under (multi bet) but if it is easy to guess who the winner is I prefer 1x2 but if it is easy to guess usually the odds are very low but it is not too risky but sometimes I still add other options to get bigger profits which of course are not far from my favorite market as I mentioned above.
The asian totals are slowly becoming my favorite recently because you can buy or sell half a point similar to asian handicaps depending on your gut feeling, and there are lucky moments where you could be winning your bet before half-time.
Despite the similarity between the asian handicaps, i'd always avoid those in football as the favorites likely play down to the level of their opponents.

Sports bet is a big opportunity in Gambling to score a speculative profit because for Sports bet, we can create a very good strategy to earn a profit from.
I've been taking part in sports betting activities for enough time now and I can say that it's profitable for only those who understand the games properly. When you're properly sure about the game and about the teams that are playing that game then most of the times you can win the bets. However, if you only rely on your luck by betting in favor of your favorite team then your chance of winning that bet can reduce to a large extent. That's why I believe one should always bet in favor of the stronger teams or avoiding betting in some matches.
All options are good depending on the past history and records of the team and club, most times when picking I do give Home win or Away depending on both club playing.

I don't know to what extent it's true but 1x2 markets are reputed to be the more paying ones, that is to say with the higher RTP. Bookies need to offer interesting odds in order to attract new customers and to keep the olders. And 1x2 are easily watched and tracked by comparators, and by customers when they look at the main pages of soccer matches on bookies, more than other markets at least.
My best options are over 1.5, it means that the goals should be more than 1 goal, it doesn't matter which of the team wins or lose, it's just for the goals to be 2 or more. Reason why I prefer that option is because it's more safer than other options. IMO 2 goals are not that hard to score (but it's base on luck though). I prefer 1.5 option in a virtual games than live bets. The 1×2 option is a bit hard, I only bet on that option when I know that the team is better than the opposite with 80% rate.
Me too my best option ranges from 0.5, 1.5, 2.5 goals also 1x or 2x because this option are so easy to predict than predicting a direct wining and the opposite wins but playing a double chance game gives you a more winning option. Like playing home win or draw and away win or draw so if the desired team does win and it ended with draw it gives a win there. Also the 0.5 to 2.5 option is another prediction strategy that help to reduce the risk of lose, because it is easy to predict the goal to be score by both teams than only relying on a particular team to score the Total goals. But in all the lower the risk the lower the odd but the higher the risk the higher the odd. The only thing that baffles me is that even though you combine the least options, you will still lose.
More bets
I’m pretty sure for famous football games, we have even more markets available to score a profit from. If you know one, which is not in my list yet, feel free to share it here.

There are still many other markets which are not on your list, because there are so many markets we can bet on football match.
In general, there are some categories and each category contains so many markets.
The main categories are usually:
- Main: 1x2, Draw no bet, Double chance, Halftime/Fulltime, Correct Score, etc.
- Half Time: contain almost the same as the Main category
- Goals: BTTS, Odd/Even, total for a team, winning margin, etc
- Asian Lines: Asian total, Handicap, etc
- Goalscorers: 1st, anytime, last,
- Combo/Special: combination between 1x2 and over/under or other combination
The market I’ve had the most fun with over the years is Both Teams To Score accumulators. I do one every weekend when the English football calendar season running.
I tend to find that the leagues below the Premier League tend to have more goals, probably because the quality of defending is low.

Sports bet is a big opportunity in Gambling to score a speculative profit because for Sports bet, we can create a very good strategy to earn a profit from. Of course, as well it always needs luck for us to happen and to generate a profit.
I think going by your title and post, this is rather options in betting on sports games especially football and or strategy. However, I don't see one perfect option that will guarantee consistent turn over or profit. Betting is what it is, a little profit here and loses there, hence the reason to bet as you can bear.
Thus, like you have listed some options, some gamblers are comfortable with certain options above the other. Like I prefer ove 1.5 over GG ( Goal Goal, meaning both teams to score). GG for me is risky because a team can score all 3,4,5 goals in a match while the other couldn't produce any. So I better prefer the less "evil " with smaller odd than going for the riskier. However, GG is not represent in your options and it is important for many gamblers who like it over 1.5 because of the higher odd.
I also like 1x or x2
, probably is better taking smaller risk. 
I usually considers goal goal + over 2.5 as my best strategy to secure winning.
I do make this choice when two good team are to meet because there are usually chances to score and probably three goals and above is usually possible.

I prefer goals as well because he can somehow estimate how many goals the match would have in terms of their lineup and statistics from previous matches. You could easily check as well the previous matches if they went against the same opponent so maybe you could estimate somehow the amount of goals that could be done on the game.
