The bookmakers of modern times
A large number of online betting sites exist on the web. They allow Internet users to place bets on matches and tournaments taking place all over the world in no time at all. The bookmaker takes care of setting the odds, receiving everyone’s bets and redistributing the winnings to those concerned. Online betting sites are therefore interactive platforms, replacing the 19th century bookmaker who used to walk around with his register and pen.
High security of payment and receipt of winnings
Today, transfers by credit or bank card are very secure on the internet. You can therefore send your bets safely and confidently and be sure to receive your bets very quickly, directly to your bank account. Speed, ease and security: these are the three words that sum up money transactions on the major online betting sites.
A bit of vocabulary… What are odds?
An assumption is associated with a quote by the bookmaker. In fact, a quote is an interesting index of probability. If an odds is close to 1, then the result is likely to fall. The higher the odds, the less likely it is that the hypothesis will be confirmed. At the same time, you can imagine that the less likely a probability is that it will come true, the more valuable it will be if it does come true.
Sports experts and economic experts work together to set these odds for different games and sports.
This is a complex task because the odds of a team and a player winning depend on several factors: the season, current health, etc.
It is important to note that the value of the odds may change until the start of the sports event. For example, if a player is injured or replaced by another player in a team, the odds will change.
What are the different types of bets?
You will see that there are different types of bets, here is a brief presentation:
- 1X2 bets: these are the most classic bets. You have to find the winner of a sporting event. The 1 indicates that the home team wins the match, the X is the bet for a draw, the 2 guesses a victory for the visitors’ team.
- double chance” bets: allow you to bet on two possible ends of a match. Of course the odds and the winnings are much lower!
- half-time” bets: they are made during the break in the middle of a game or match.
- exact score” bets: very difficult, they require an exact estimate of the final score of the match; they can allow you to win a big win if your intuition is correct.
There are many other bets that you can find out about by browsing your online betting site.
