The number of bets offered by Parimatch Betting Company is sometimes difficult to count. In some offices, you can even bet on the number of tackles made by a football player during the match. But it is not recommended for beginners to bet on such exotic things. In addition, the bookmaker's margin on such outcomes usually goes off scale. The article will describe the most common sports betting.
The outcome of the competition
This is the simplest, most understandable and popular type in which a player places a bet on the victory of one of the participants (teams) or on a draw (if such is provided by the rules). In the list of bets on the outcome, they have the following designations: W1 (victory of the first team), X (draw), W2 (victory of the second team).
Double chance
This type of bet is in many ways similar to the main outcome, only it is less risky. The player can bet on double results: 1X (victory of the first team or a draw, X2 (victory of the second team or a draw), 12 (victory of the first or second team).
Total Over / Under
Total is the total of goals, corners, yellow cards and other quantitative statistics. Most often there are bets on the total goals scored by one of the teams or both - at the end of a half or the whole match.
Handicap
Handicap, or handicap, is an artificial advantage that a bookmaker gives or takes away from teams. For example, a bet on the victory of the clear favorite of the match will be unprofitable due to the low odds. But you can bet on a negative head start of the same favorite on more attractive quotes. Handicap (-2.5) means that 2.5 goals are taken away from the favorite before the start of the event. And the bet on this outcome will be winning if the favorite wins with an advantage of 3 goals or more.
Exact score
A market that is very difficult to predict is always accompanied by high odds. Even very high-quality analytics will not help here: any sporting events are too unpredictable. In the list, these outcomes have a standard form of 0: 0, 1: 0, 1: 1, 2: 2, and so on.
Time Match
Bets on these markets involve predicting the outcome of the first half and the match as a whole. In the list, they look like W1 / W1 (victory of the first team in the first half and the match), W1 / W2 (victory of the first team in the first half and the second team at the end of the match) X / W1 (draw in the first half and victory of the first team in match results) and so on.
