Popular Betting Terms Explained

Odds-against

Where the odds are greater than evens (eg “5 to 2”).

Odds-on

Where the odds are shorter than evens (eg “4 to 6”). If the selection wins, the amount won is less than the amount staked (don’t forget, you get your stake
back as well!).

Odd/Even
This is simply when you stake on whether the total number of goals produced in a game will be an on or an even number.

Outright Betting

Outright betting is one of the most straight-forward bet types there are. Here, you now have the option to stake on alternative markets such as which players will get transferred at the end of the season, which managers will get the boot, and which sides you think will be relegated or promoted. Outright bets are normally placed before the season or competition starts, but they can also be placed while it’s already underway.

Over/Under

One of the very popular betting terms known to seasoned bettors. There are lots of different kind of stats that fall into this category, especially when it comes to online football betting.
