The short answer

The ten football markets worth knowing are 1X2, double chance, draw no bet, over/under goals, both teams to score, Asian handicap, correct score, half-time/full-time, goalscorer markets and corners or cards. On an exchange-style 1X2 market you can also lay a result. Each market settles differently, so read the name and time period before you confirm.

AI overview

Key takeaways

The ten markets covered are 1X2, double chance, draw no bet, over/under goals, both teams to score, Asian handicap, correct score, half-time/full-time, goalscorers, and corners or cards.
Draw no bet returns your stake on a draw, and an Asian handicap removes the draw with a goal start.
Most markets settle on 90 minutes plus stoppage time, so check the time period before you confirm.
Many European matches kick off late at night in India, so confirm the start time in IST.

What are the ten markets?

1X2: home win, draw or away win over 90 minutes. Back a result, or lay it to bet against it.
Double chance: covers two of the three outcomes, such as home or draw.
Draw no bet: your stake is returned if the match is drawn.
Over/under goals: total goals above or below a line, such as 2.5.
Both teams to score: each team scores at least once.
Asian handicap: one team gets a goal start, which removes the draw.
Correct score: the exact final score.
Half-time/full-time: the result at half-time and at full-time.
Goalscorer: first, last or anytime scorer.
Corners and cards: totals or handicaps on corners and bookings.

Which markets suit beginners?

1X2, double chance and over/under goals are the easiest to follow. Laying a team in 1X2 works a lot like double chance on the other two results. Correct score and half-time/full-time pay more but land far less often. Not every market is listed for every match.

What should you check before confirming?

The time period, usually 90 minutes plus stoppage time unless extra time is included.
How the market handles an abandoned match.
Kick-off in Indian time, since many European matches start late at night in India.
