Popular Betting Markets for Euro 2024
Kenyan bookmakers offer an average of 400 to 800 marquees for football matches. The more popular the clubs or national teams are, the wider the offer. Studying all possible markets takes bettors a lot of time. To begin with, it is worth considering the most common types of football Euro 2024 betting markets:
- Full Time Result. In the bookies’ list of betting odds it is usually labeled as P1, X, P2. This is a prediction of a winner or a draw. There are also outcomes called "Double Chance" (1X, X2 and 12). In this case, the bet includes two results at once — a win or a draw (1X and X2), or a win for either side (12).
- Total Goals (Under/Over). The most frequent entry of this market is TB or TM. In the first case, the player bets that more goals will be scored than the number specified in the outcome. In the case of TM, the forecast will be correct if the number of goals is less than the selected total. In the case of a fractional number, the calculation in the form of a return is not provided. If the total number in TB or TM and the number of goals coincides with it, the bookmaker gives the bettor the money back.
- Handicap. In this type of market bettors can bet on the victory with the difference in the score between the teams. There are plus and minus forfeits. In the first case, the number of goals of one of the parties is added to the figure indicated in the outcome. In the case of a negative handicap, the goals are taken away. In the case of F1 (+1.5) and the result is 1:1, the bet is calculated in favour of the bettor, as the first club will have 2.5 goals instead of 1. As in the case with totals, in case of fractional value of the betting odds there is no return, in case of whole numbers — there is.
- Correct Score (CS). One of the simplest markets in football. The bettor needs to specify with what score the match will end.
- Betting on statistics. This is a whole group of outcomes, which includes predictions on the number of corners, cards, kicks and other indicators on the field.
That’s not a full list — also we can bet on normal time definition, both teams to score (BTTS), half time / full time (HT / FT), first goal scorer / last goal scorer (FGS / LGS), half time result (HTR), etc.
Also players can make bets in the form of orders, expresses and systems. The first type is a single bet. Express is a forecast for several events at once. To win the bet, all of them must be correct. The return of the event is allowed, but the total odds in this case is reduced. Also pay attention to such a type as a system, which includes several variants of expresses. Here the bettor can win even with several wrong outcomes.
