How can you bet legally on football?

Answer 1

Ok, its very hard to explain off the cuff as there are many different ways in which to bet.

----------------------

There are many betting lines that a punter can bet on. But these are the popular betting lines:

- Match Odds (aka 1X2) where you bet on which side to win.

- Over/Under where you bet on how many total goals in a match.

- Asian Handicap (AH) where you get better odds/chance (depending on how you look at it).

To explain each is beyond the scope here.

Generally, there are 2 major type of ways:

1. Punting, where a punter take up a position and hold on to that position until it win/lose.

2. Trading, where a punter takes up a position and sells that position a while down the road before the match ends.

Also, each punter has their own strategy. Some simple ones are like:

- Manchester United always win.

- Some use historical statistics of each team

- Some use historical statistics of Head to Head records

- Some use patterns (ie, after 2 wins, there will be a draw)

- Some people do arbitrage trades (guaranteed winning, but now is almost impossible to do).

- Some uses odds (payouts) to make decisions

The more advance ones uses Artificial Intelligence to detect patterns (ie, neural network).

The advance punters builds mathematical/statistical models. This is just an overview. Hope it can get you started.

Have a look at http://betting.betfair.com/football/ this talks you through a lot of the options and if you like the look of the site you get a free £25 bet when you sign up.

well put simply there are many different types of bets you can make for a game. For example you can bet a team to win straight up which is called making a moneyline bet. There is also a spread for each game. The spread is a number sportsbook odds makers come up with for the expected point differential by the end of the game. If you would like to see an example of this go here

the team with the minus(-) sign is the team that is favored. the team with the plus(+) sign is the team that is the underdog. If the spread is say -7 for a game. That means the favorite must win by more than 7 points for you to win your bet. If the win by exactly 7 your bet is whats called a push and you get your money back. And if that favorite wins by 6 points or less, or loses the game straight up then you lose. This means that if you bet on the underdog of +7 they can still lose the game by 6 points and you will win your bet.

Another popular bet for football are totals. Also known as the over/under. This is also a spread that is made by oddsmakers. But instead this line will be for the total points scored by both teams in the game. If the total is set at 49 points you can bet either over or under. If the total amount of points scored in the game is exactly 49 you push and get your money back. If you bet over you need 50 or more points scored to win. if you bet under you need 48 or less points scored to win. Hope this helps.

If you're at the racetrack in person, I recommend only using human tellers. The automatic tellers have big lines, and you risk being shut out of a race because some yokel is making multiple wagers and doesn't know how to operate the computer. There's also the risk that you'll mess up your bet because you punched the wrong button. The human tellers are fast, accurate, and friendly. Have your money ready in your hand. Things move fast at the counter, especially a few minutes before post. You don't want to be the guy holding up the line because he's fumbling through his wallet looking for his $2. Once you get up to the counter, what do you say to the teller so you don't sound like an idiot and hold up the line? Here's your script: Tell the teller the following in this order:

1. Racetrack and race number (only if you're betting on a race at a different racetrack than the one you're at)
2. Amount of your bet
3. Type of bet you're placing
4. Horse's program number

For example: "Churchill Downs, race seven, $2 to winon #4." If you want to do a quinella bet, tell them: "$2 quinella on 3 and 5." Now hand the teller your money and take your ticket. Keep it in a safe place. You'll need it to claim your money if you win. You can tuck it in the front pocket of your shirt, or if you're wearing a hat, stick it inside your hat band.

You can bet legally in sports books found in casinos of Las Vegas, NV and Atlantic City, NJ. You may bet on betting websites such as betonsports.com because you are accessing and placing bets on international sites where gambling is legal and technically you are placing a bet in Another Country. This is why such sites continue to operate in the U.S.. While as putting money into these accounts is a cinch, be warned that withdrawing winnings can be diificult if not impossible.

First, it helps to know something about the game and the teams involved. This is true whether one is betting on American football or what the rest of the world knows as football, which in the US is called soccer. It is also best to bet only an amount one can afford to lose. Otherwise, it depends on which sport is actually being wagered on, whether the bet is in a legal operation, an illegal transaction, or an informal pool, and other factors such as the law in the country where the bet is made.

Answer 7

You can bet legally in person in a few states in casinos or with state run apps. Often these offerings have limited options and worse odds than online sportsbooks.

Betting online is very easy and not illegal in most states for the player. As long as you're not the one taking the bets.
