Most novice players who are interested in the world of betting for the first time think that there are only two possible outcomes – the victory of the first or second side. Less often, a draw is added to them. On closer inspection, it turns out that the number of outcomes offered by leading bookmakers can reach up to several hundred.

A selection of all possible outcomes is a betting line. A good line allows experienced handicappers to create more interesting gaming strategies and earn a steady income from sports betting.

Here are a few basic types of bets that are equally interesting for beginners and experienced players.

The outcome of the contest

The first and most common bet is made on the outcome of a sporting event. The player must guess one of three possible outcomes: a win for the first team, a draw, or a win for the second team.

Double chance

This type of bet is directly derived from the bet on the outcome of the contest. In this case, the bookmakers offer to combine two of the three possible outcomes. It should be noted that if the sports discipline does not involve the outcome in the form of a draw, there is no such bet.

In the framework of the "double chance", you can make the following bets:

• Win by any team or contestant (12)
• Lead by first team or draw (1X)
• Second team win or draw (X2)

When making such bets, the chance of winning increases, but the coefficient decreases.

Total

Total bets are most often used in football or hockey. To make a bet, you need to have an idea of how many goals can be scored during the match.

Total more is a bet that more than a certain number of goals or pucks will be scored in a match. For example, if you bet on a total of more than 3.5,you need to score four goals or more to win.

Total less-a bet that less than a certain number of goals will be scored in a match. For example, the total is less than 3.5 means that the opponents must score no more than three goals to each other.

Most of the proposed types of bets are applicable only to certain sports, in particular, football and hockey. Separate bets (outcome, exact score) are used in all sports disciplines.

Before you choose a specific parimatch bet, get up close and personal with the upcoming competition, find out more about the teams and players. This will allow you to predict the outcome of the match with maximum probability.
