Topic: What’s your favorite market to bet on for football matches? (Read 703 times)

1x2 is the most popular and many gambling use it frequently. Some play straight win once looking at the teams. And playing draw or one goal bets have cut many gamblers bets so they are not betting on that much again. But carefully looking at the previous games of the two teams and support one team which has been doing well in their previous games to win the game.

As vs2014 has said, many fraudsters are bringing out fixed matches which is not real. Like some of them who used the predictions where complaining that the fixed matches were not real and they loss all their funds.

The market or options that I use very often are about Over / Under / Asian Total, Both teams to score, Asian Handicap, 1 x 2, Draw no Bets and double chance. Maybe that's all the options that I use very often including in betting on Basketball and Hockey and if combined  maybe I can say about Asian handicap is a very interesting betting option. But with the note, I also always consider the odds available and most of me always have a low point at 1.30, if less than those odds then I will look for other options that have better odds, of course.

This is for me!!!! I've won several with the handicaps and, at some point, I felt very good at making predictions with them.

---

OP, it all depends on the teams in play, the league/competition and the level of which that game is played.. that's like the greater part of the analysis we make before wagering on any games.
If two big teams are playing against each other, I see a huge possibility that it'd be a draw game (although sometimes, it may not go as planned)... So I'll go with the 1x,X2 options... Then I can decide to spice it up with the over corners.
If you pick this option and it ends 0-0, you're toast!! 
How about the double, triple combo? It's good to try out but that's gonna need a much bigger stake compared to the single option.

Win or draw used to be my favorite but since it started failing I stopped playing it for a while, the idea of a 1x or 2x selection is giving the favorite team the option of winning or holding the game to a draw but sometimes the outcome might be disappointing, the weaker team might end up winning. Recently I came up with another idea and I think it's not too bad, I'm always going for the 12 option which is home or away. Before making my selections I look at the last five matches of their previous encounters, if they all ended as 12 then I would make that selection.

Finding fixed matches became rare when some people started selling there agents. Well, i use the most experienced tipsters, who believe me that a private source with more experience in the business can get you a specific match. Don't fall for any frauds who claim that they have found a fixed match on any telegram channel because a real fixed match will never work so openly as the business requires confidentiality. You may be scammed here too as I have been a victim of it myself. I paid to accept the fixed match issue but there was a different winning story and I didn't get the money back.

I share the same sentiment with you, I am among those that can be very scared of playing straight winning because the chances of winning at some point can be very slim, where the team you predicted to win will either lose or they draw even though the odds most times can be very good based on the clubs that are meeting, am. Mostly more comfortable playing win or draw option irrespective of the odd, it gives me certain peace of mind for the club to either win or draw which seems more realistic though nothing is guarantee. It really feels good to record winning no matter how small the amount maybe be.

Soccer is now crazily unpredictable and it scares me, you’re right that the 1X2 should be the easiest pick, and when I first learned to gamble, that was the only market I knew how to use, and i was actually winning more than I lost, but now you barely see me use that option cos now, sometimes most of the analytic tools used to determine how gallant a team is (as you put it) seems not to be working anymore, because yang those tools, it’ll be clear that a particular team is strong than the other but when they go H2H, they’ll do the unexpected, the weaker team would either win or the game ends in a draw, and then I ask myself how’s that even possible? This has happened to me multiple times which has made me feel skeptical about using that market.

The choice is up to you, of course you can choose which one you think can win. If it were me, the best approach would be whichever has the most potential to win. The choices are endless, but it is very unpleasant to lose when the team you support wins but you make the wrong choice in the betting options.

Betting on favorite teams and teams we like is a great choice, it's not just about winning, but also about having fun. If you explore the many betting options, then your gambling plans may change from having fun to seeking luck. But that's up to you.

Win or draw used to be my favorite option and it was profitable for a while but overtime I discovered that holding on to a single betting would limit you as a gambler, there are lots of other options to explore and more importantly there's no option that guarantees constant profit. Betting on the stronger team to either win or draw is always a good plan but in football a lot of changes might happen which might lead to the losing team Winning the game. If you are certain about it and this option is profitable you can continue with it.

I usually bet more on a team winning or drawing. When I decide to make more bets on just one team winning, I end up losing. However, when I place my bets on a double chance or a draw, or on one of the teams winning or drawing, my results are better. This week I made 3 bets and only won one, most of them betting on just one team winning.

That's what I do, I have some friends who tell me that I'm a bit lazy when it comes to analyzing games because I only say if they win or draw, but sometimes it's difficult to hit a score, or sometimes to accurately predict a draw, because a draw implies many things including the score itself, that's why I am like that, and it's something that makes me feel good, and starting to determine a score is going a lot towards gambling where luck plays a big determining factor, and neither do I think that's where I deviate from what I'm really looking for in a bet.

Betting on the winning of one of the teams is one method that many people used because with their knowledge, they can predicts which team that have more power to win against the opponent. I also do that on many matches but I don't have much winnings because I realizes that I am not good in the betting. As what I did in a few days ago where I placed a bet on the team and predict that team can wins. I place two bet and I have one win and one lose. That is so simple and I like that and I don't have to think much about that except just enjoy my gambling time.

1x2 bets are the most common because it is easy to analyze the competing teams. Over/Under also usually offers attractive offers, sometimes I do it too. I think that's a bet that many people usually make.
I avoid betting to guess the score accurately, the number of yellow cards, or corner kicks. The offer must be good but I think the chances of winning are quite risky. Most gamblers will bet for better chances of winning, not on high offers.

With exchange gamblling it's very interesting playing "correct score". You could cashout easily with few goals in the right time.
There are strategies and tricks also with draw (0-0). Of course this kind of bets in some case could lead to a lose in 1 goals!
So better use softwares or at least have a plenty of options.

Personally I am playing also other markets in football. Most of my favorites (not in order) are: corner kicks, Cards, under&over.
For parlay bets handicap x/1 are a great choices... you have a boost in your winning prediction in 50% of cases

All options are realistic depending on the condition of the team. The options you just mentioned are good ones and I'm confident you can use all for Manchester City and win your bet but you can't use all for Everton due to their inconsistency. Everton seems to be far, you can't use them for Manchester United right now with their current situations unless they improve, you can use the opposite of what you chose for another team and still makes money.

In all of the bets I have made in my life, I have learn to be reserved with total goals under and over in many leagues, it work for leagues that are competing like the Champions League, Premier League and the rest of tier 1 domestic leagues but I can't say the same for some league. There was one turkey league I bet some match, check the history of their head to head and the games played, the highest was under 2.5, played under 3.5 with 1.3 odd only for me to see 5 goals for just first half, I blacklisted them immediately.

I will see the chances of the 2 teams playing. 1x2 is the most normal market option I use. but the Over and BTTS markets are also often chosen by me.
The choice of the market to be chosen will depend on the Odds that are more profitable and the chances of winning are quite large. I also sometimes avoid 1x2 bets if the Odds offered are too small. there are other market options with better Odds for us to choose from.

We use all the betting methods but the most popular one is the 1x2 though the picks are depends on the club and it winning history and squad of the team. If the home team squad is gallant then I bet on the home team to win but if the away team is gallant then I bet on the away team. And I bet on the X if the history of the two teams are not too good or both of them have good record of history of scores. And I think all the rest methods are occasional for me. Every gambler bey on either win or draw. And most bey first half win or full time win.

BTS has always been my best pick most times especially when I see a weak team àt home who will try to get a goal aswell bas the away team who looks bigger, some other times based on statistics I go with goal picks as to the number of goals in a game if a home team is stronger.

Corner is my last best pick too, almost all this pick are usually when I see that it's mainly between big and a small team, I don't like gambling when toe big teams are playing or if it's a derby, because I feel there's always going to be that difference that will make it gamble on them and the book makers too will give some unrealistic odds that will affect the gamblers mind and will cause them to make certain stakes.

Yes for all these we can still say that luck/chances plays the greatest role over there because when it's found missing then there is every slim chance for a possible winning. I often pick home or away, over/under it is very much easier to secure winning than any other options, people still do not understand that the results are more difficult to come with free kick, corner and offside.

This is a not so popular method of betting on a sports match. It’s very random but if you are very good in analyzing the current state of the game as well as incorporating statistics, then you can probably win. It should be noted that since this kind of betting doesn’t have many bettors, bookmakers may have a larger hand at play in this.
I personally like this a lot. Usually it works well. Just look at the statistics and players who usually score a goal are most likely to score a goal in their next match. It is almost foolproof but it still depends on the player. Lionel Messi is an amazing goal scorer but I remember a match against Real Madrid (if I am not mistaken, can’t remember the year/tournament) where he did not score a goal but had many assists. These are just little things that are hard to predict since it is quite unexpected but overall I think this has a much better chances than others.

Yes, I've also preferred to bet on football sports and in as much football has been a common activity and one of an exciting exercise that we can also participate to play in our local areas, it's easier for gamblers to make possible predictions on the outcome of the games by analysing the games maybe via experiences or the history of the teams.
We could stand some good chances of predicting what may goes around in the game either by the goals, corner kicks, penalties. Could be correct scores or slight predictions.

As for my bets, I choose the simplest method, betting on the victory of one of the teams before the game starts. Of course, sometimes I can diversify this number of yellow cards received in the match, but nothing more. Someone will say that these are very simple bets, but I like simplicity and I do not really want to bet on subtle moments that are extremely difficult to predict. However, professionals probably know what is better to bet on, what will bring more EV than simple actions. But if everyone finds out about this, the bookmaker will cut the odds on these bets and making them will not be as profitable as it was before.

I often to bet Over / Under or win or draw because I think that is easier to analyze when two team will match. We can take a look on their history and search for more info to show us which teams have more potential to win. But I don't have a good winning from that as I don't have much knowledge or good skills to analyze but that will not be a problem for me.

I don't choose the other ways that @OP mention because that is too difficult for me and can exhaust my time to analyze one by one. So I pick the easy to start and that is enough for me.

Well, you said nothing is safe in gambling but there's a way to at least have a winning chance by checking the histories of both teams. Since you are betting for the under-total score then you will need to check the history of both teams that will be playing especially when they are up against each other.
Then, I think having a peek at their stats at home and away will also increase the chance of winning it.

It's true that there's no guarantee in our bets but the options are meant to give us a winning chance and we can take advantage of it. I also bet for the over and under total score in football because I think that's the easiest pick out there rather than who will win or not. Plus, it requires a great deal of research on injuries, who will not play, and other stuff to read just to identify the team with a higher chance to win.

But unfortunately not all gamblers will be able to understand and really consider choosing the right betting market or betting options, some gamblers only know about few types of betting options that may be easy for them to understand and can be predicted more easily.
I see some gamblers who always state about betting in 1x2 and I often find people like this in the environment where I live, they know there are many choices but they can't understand how it works and only rely on choosing who the winner is, this is clearly mistake because they will not be able to get good increase in opportunities and cannot minimize failure.

I personally the same as you, what you mentioned are some of the options that I always prioritize because that is what is easy enough to predict and provides more opportunities to win, but the one that can most allow for greater increase in victory is Double Chance, it just that this one is often closed by the bookie and we can't take it.

I'm more conservative, I prefer to place bets on 1x2, betting either on a team's victory based on recent games, performances and expectations or on a draw if the teams have a dual campaign.

I think the other bets are riskier. 

For me sports betting have gone viral and also cut across many angles and perspective leading to massive Bookings and Usually my love for 1x2 bets is definitely unexplainable and have always loved this strategy of a draw draw against teams and it's being  a thrilling experience and great outcome, possibly I play a draw against the opponent teams  and sometimes an away match.so it's my favorite because betting on this is alot easier and you tend to bets on the particular teams you are proud of,tho for some reason i know how provoking having to bet on your favourite market can be and the game turns out to be the other way round but regardless there would be a positive results in the end.

I really don't have a particular market I can call favourite, I just flow with whatever I feel would be the outcome of the game. And whatever I decide to choose is completely dependent on the particular game I'm betting on, but I'm particularly scared of the 1X2 market option, I know it looks easier to just make a pick based on which team you feel is stronger or has more advantages than the other, but at the end, it's not always as easy as you may think as their are two more options to counter your chosen market, there's every tendancy for a draw or even the weaker team to beat the stronger one, this is soccer and anything is possible. So rather than the 1X2 market, I feel safer rolling with the double chance market, because that way I know there's only one option that's capable of countering my preferred choice, thereby increasing my chances of success.

Personally, I prefer staking on 1x2, BTS or GG, over/under scoring under 20 mins, win either half and corners. They seem more realistic to me and more achievable.

When a much weaker team and a stronger one plays, I love predicting a goal to come within 20 mins and more corners since it's obvious the weaker team would do a lot of defending. Two strong teams always gets a BTS from me since predicting the winner is always a tough nut to crack.

The most varied bets are certainly the ones that provide the highest return and pay the best, as they are less sought after and it is much more difficult to predict the number of cards a team will receive than simply saying who will win, win or draw.
The same goes for bets on goals, corners and the like... the varieties are almost infinite and vary greatly from one site to another.

However, I tend to stick to the traditional and bet cautiously on these variations because I believe there is still a lot of manipulation. It is much easier for a player to force a yellow card than to allow his team to lose the game.

I prefer 1x2 because I think the RTP is usually better than other markets. The 1x2 is the market displayed on the main pages of the sportsbooks, so they need to put  attractive odds in order to encourage customers or vistors to place bets or to register an account for doing it. In addition other markets are more complex and sophisticated, so it's usually more difficult to be able to know if the odds offered are interesting and profitable or are just scammy actually.

The idea of win or draw works but the odds are low. You have to include many games to get higher odds or you choose the low odds and stake a larger amount. The choice is up to us because the booker are smart enough and one way or the other they would want to win over the gamblers. There is assurance in any way whether we choose the odds we feel have much chance of coming out successful. Sometimes it is even the most difficult predictions that end up coming out well. I could remember one day in sports visual i just picked games randomly and staked. It came as a surprise to see that i had won such a huge amount in less than a minute. But I did that and wasn't expecting me to win and it just came.

I have always preferred to the under options, a lot of people prefer to pick overs due to the fact that it's easy to achieve. I don't always get lucky with option but I think it's the safest to bet on. How do I carefully analyze These games? I just pick some teams from specific leagues like la Liga, Argentina, Brazil and so on, then I check the position of both teams on their league table before making my decision. It doesn't matter the option you pick there's nothing safe in gambling so it's very important that you always play safe and gamble responsibly

Even though nothing is always guarantee till the end of every match, for football betting every gambler always have a favorite team to win and at most times add it to win or draw gives more advantage and better chances of winning the bet, it also one of my best strategy among all of my other strategies but yet most times the assume weaker team ends up winning the most preferred team, there is no guarantee in gambling generally irrespective of your strategy or strategies, i usually say that the best we could only do is to do go about with all we can and allow luck to have the final say, as regards to winning or not

In fact, there are so many betting markets in sports betting, and what you mentioned in the OP is just a few of the many options available in the sports betting market. But indeed, at least with the many options available it still does not make it easy for us to win in betting, because in betting it also  requires at least luck even though in reality it looks easy just about making an analysis of a match, but in reality it is not as easy as imagined. I personally prefer about the 1x2 option, over / under, both teams to score (Yes / NO), Asian handicap, double chance and maybe a few others, such as total corners, cards and I will just adjust what options I will choose in a particular match.

I prefer to keep my betting realistic and predictable  which is why I go for 1x2 bets most of the time. When I do analyze the previous statistics of both teams, I consider factors like the strength of defenders and attackers to get a closer idea for the number of goals. Occasionally I place bets on whether the total goals will be under or over a certain number but I do this rarely.
Sports betting and especially football is one of my favorite forms of gambling because it allows you to pick the stronger and favorite team depending on the previous matches of the same team and not algorithms. You can place a bet, enjoy the game, and find satisfaction regardless of the outcome, and if you don’t win your bet, you can still enjoy the match itself.

Other betting options, such as the number of fouls, the exact final score, or yellow and red cards seem too risky and unrealistic for me, that’s why I never considered them as a good option.

My picks are always based on which clubs are playing against each other, how their present performance and pass match meeting has been in the past. That's what I check first before having my picks. Nevertheless, my usual picks are mostly on 1x2 or over 1.5, either one as the mind leads.

On this regard, we can say that, it depends where the bettor is comfortable placing their bets with. Some bettors have their easy eyes on under/over. But some are having hard time when the betting line is about what team will have the first goal or both teams to/not score.
But for sure, the player who will make the first goal is quite hard for me as there are several athletes inside as your choices. So selecting one of them is quite hard and the odds are high.

My favorite selection is the over market and I prefer to pick this over all other options Because I feel it's more easier to play out compared to other ones,  I have tried straight win, win or draw and so on but the over market has more chances of playing out but it all depends on the teams you picked... I like making my selections from the Germany league and I don't just pick random teams, I carefully select teams that have scored in their previous games, then after that I'll also check the statistical view of both teams and the over 1.5 percentage... This isn't a perfect strategy but it's going to reduce your losses

We have a variety of choices related to odds for betting on sports or football, but all the options available are up to how we see, assess, study and research a match that we choose to bet on. from the long list you made, in fact, that the option is common to most bettors. based on what I know, the most common choice for betting is 1×2 or Handicap. this betting option is quite common for bettors, because it is quite easy for sports bettors.
as for other options, for example, cards, corner kicks and even penalties, are usually the options for gamblers who are really serious about their bets. I mean, when gamblers don't see the ideal option for them, then looking for alternative bets is the best choice. or another example, if a match gives too low odds, and the Underdog team is not ideal to choose in betting. then the Handicap option is an alternative, it can be for Under/Over, or which can provide a fairly profitable probability for the gambler himself. although, any option still has a risk.

For me personally, the betting options all depend on the match I choose. after going through a series of research and analysis, then looking at the options offered by the bookmaker. if all the options are too risky, then the option of both teams scoring can be an alternative. however, it all comes back to the odds given by the bookmaker.

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.

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.
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.

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.

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,

• Asian Total
• BTTS (both teams to score)
• Asian Handicap

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.

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.

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.
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.

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.

1x and 2x are also a safe option to use because even when the both teams draws you won't lose. I am not a straight win fan because it's hard for me to predict those kind of options. Over 0.5 is also a good option but the odds are too small for my liking so I prefer to use the over 1.5 option. The reason why I choose that option is because I can accumulate like 2 odds total and stake with 100k (naira) just to win 200k (naira).

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.

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.

The quality of the teams that are playing determines what I will play, if it's two strong teams that are playing together in a competitive tournament, I will stake that thier will be more than one goal in the match. It's been the most reliable stake I've made most often and it has never failed all that much. Sometimes if you're not being greedy and you just stick to smaller odds and just make simple bet you're certain has a high probability of playing the way you've stacked it, you will win more than you loose in your gamble.

Like in the match that Manchester City played yesterday, a simple over 1.5 win give you a Smooth win but because you're following after a bigger and better odds, most persons would want to stake that man city would win that match which is just an ideal thing any person will think but they ended up losing.

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.

When comes to betting on football, I like to go with the classic 1x2 kind of bets, they are rather simple to understand and more straightforward than the other types of bets you have mentioned.
It is because I don't consider myself to be good enough yet to predict so many specific things which could happen during the match, like some of the teams getting a card or some star player scoring an specific number of goals before the time is up. I consider the kind of bets to be a completely different league and not suitable for people who just want to casually bet now and then in the most important leagues or tournaments.

To make my list of games I do select about 1x2, under/over, also goals, like away team to score first or home team to score this options are what I do select to make my comprehensive list. Although most times those options goes off from like sometimes it doesn't work as selected, that is why it called game of chances or probabilities meaning it must not go as planned.
Some days I am always moved the go with home or away but most preferred ones is Over/Under after doing my analysis for the games.

For me, my choice will be made based on the game and the statistics that the two teams have, and also the odds behind them can be tempting.
If it is a game between two teams that are enjoying a good goal scoring form for example, betting on just home/away win may not be the best choice when you can bet on over 1.5, or 2.5 etc, with a better odd.  If it is two teams struggling to score, betting on a home/win /draw can be a simple choice. So it depends on certain situations for me.

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.

For me the options could be very various depend on the performance and the recent results of the particular teams but sometimes if i met the situation when the favourite teams playing against weak teams then i was pick 1x2 which usually bets on the favourite teams to win because for me this is safe bets and easy pick although the odds probably will be very low but i can accept that because that's easy money

But if there is any matches which from the teams conditions and the strength looks equal and the outcomes of those matches is hard to predicted usually i will avoiding to pick on 1x2 option because this is risky bets and if i met the situation like this usually i was very favourite to bets on both teams to scores but sometimes too bets on under or over

There is no option regarding Both Teams To Score above which is my favorite market when betting on football.
Betting on BTTS feels more exciting and tense when watching the live match and it's easier to predict, also we can win and get paid before the match ends.
Some sportsbooks also offer combo bet such as BTTS and Over/Under with decent payouts.

Win or draw is the most common one in which many gamblers win ensure to include on their games if they are playing more than one game, i mostly uses this format for my games while gambling, all because once i know about the strength and weakness of the teams involved, both the one i support and the one am betting against, i will easily understand and know the next step in action over the game and what may come out from the bet.

I bet on players that will score and how many goals in the first half. I have won some little amount of money of only first half goals and also players to score needs you to know the player that is in his peak form and that is consistent in scoring goals. There are a lot of things to bet on sportbet and it is ikd fashioned to bet on who will win the game.

Over / Under / Asian Total are my favorites in recent times out of personal experience which has proven to be quite effective. The Asian total is particularly my favourite. It is an improvement or upgrade from the over/under in which the betting options is limited. Asian total, gives me extra options it is either a partial win or refund. Using this option makes me lose less money if the outcome of my prediction is close to what I had predicted. My strategy has always been to bet on under 4 goals as I have noticed that if four goals are scored, I will get a refund from my initial bet and a fewer than four goals results in a win, while more than four goals equals to a loss.

My favorite is definitely "Over / Under / Asian Total". I like to bet on goals, I am simply more focused on goals than on who will win the game; for me, that is more exciting than other markets.

I have had some nice wins on "Player to score a goal"... Sometimes some players are really on a good streak, and it's good to place a bet on them to score a goal in any moment.

I have had a few bets on "cards & corners", but for me, that is a pure gamble... some players are really aggressive, and some teams have more than one aggressive player, but that doesn't have to mean anything.

I prefer first half win, 1x2, over or under 1.5 and 2.5 and handicap. What I will go for depend on the clubs or teams that want to play the match.

I saw penalties to have 1.2 to 1.3 odds. There are times that I go for it but not common.

I do not go for players to score, cards and corner kick.

If it's a game which is known to be hostile like a local derby, I will likely bet on the number of cards and if it's a game where I expect one team to play a low block I'll likely go with over a certain number of corners. This is how I adjust my strategy depending on the match and the circumstances.

I personally don't like to play wins or draws, but can do so depending on the game.

There are a few more; handicaps, BTTS, highest scoring halves, etc

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.
It is a wide range of markets to bet on and we will have a possibility to make a personalized strategy for whatever market will be available, so our chances are pretty good to find a bet of value and to score a profit from sports bets.


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


Over / Under / Asian Total

We can bet over or under number of scored goals. Over / Under is also very popular because betting how many goals are scored is always a good bet.
We can bet on whole goals or we can bet on splitted goals, it is called Asian Total and it’s also very popular because we might bet more precise on how much goals will be scored to generate at least a little profit, when our predicted total goals are close to what score has happened.


Corner kicks

Betting on corner kicks is also an available market but it is a bit riskier because corner kicks are just a side-product from when a ball is deflected and going out goal-side. Corner kicks are not generated by a team on purpose, it’s just a side product.
When a team concedes a goal and it’s resulting in one team is now forced to score a goal to equalize, it can be a good strategy to bet on corners from which team has now to attack, as it will result in more corner kicks for an attacking team, when shots on target are getting deflected.
So, betting on corner kicks can be indeed a strategy to score a profit from gambling.


Cards

Cards are also a popular market to bet on. We can bet on how many cards a football match will have, which team will collect most cards, and if a red card will be shown.
Especially, for very contested games and games, where very aggressive players are playing, it can happen to see many players get carded, where a referee really gets angry and he distributes so many cards. For such games, we can score a profit to bet on an cards over.
Or oppositely, in a very friendly game, cards can happen to be very absent and not much players will be carded, where an under bet on cards might be our selected bet.
It can be a good market for us if we have a very contested or very friendly game and we might be able to place a bet on many or only very few cards to be shown in a match.


Penalties

Penalties can happen any time a player gets fouled too close to his opponent’s goal. And we can bet on it, if a certain team is awarded a penalty or if it will score from a penalty.
A bet on a penalty is also considered risky because it does not happen very often to get a penalty.


Player to score a goal

We can also bet on a specific player to score a goal. It might be profitable, if a player is known to score at least one goal and we can make a profit to bet on him to score a goal.


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.
