How to bet on sports online

Main types of sports betting

Land and online bookmakers parimatch.in offer bettors a wide range of different types of bets, classifying them according to different criteria.

According to the outcome of the event

This category of bets stands out for its extensive diversity. Bettors are offered a solid choice of variants

On the result (outcome) of the event

The simplest and most common option. A bet is held on the victory of a particular team or a particular participant in the match. This variant is subdivided into several additional subtypes:

• A bet on the victory of the first or second team (participant);
• a bet on a draw;
• A double outcome bet: implying a victory of one team or a draw.

Betting on Total

The user is invited to bet on the number of points scored (goals, pucks, rounds, sets). There are several types of total bets:

• Total more/total less - a prediction of whether more or fewer goals will be scored than the value defined in the bet. For example, the formula TB(5) means that the team will "score" more than five points, TM (5) - on the contrary, less than five points.
• fractional total. Denoted by numbers with the addition of 0.5, for example TB (2.5), TM (4.5). Such numbers are used to avoid possible coincidence of the Total value and the number of goals scored and, accordingly, the return of the bet to the bettor.
• individual total - a prediction on the number of points scored by a particular team.

In addition, there are the concepts of even / odd, three-way totals. A separate category includes betting not on the number of goals scored, but betting on other parameters: the number of timeouts, yellow cards, assists, quarters, other indicators.

Betting on a handicap

This type of bet implies a prediction on the lag or advantage of the teams in points (goals, sets, rounds, etc.). In a special designation, this parameter looks like F1(-1), for example. This indicator means that the bet is made to win the first team with a handicap of -1 goal. In this case, the actual advantage must be at least two points. In case the team has beaten the opponent by exactly 1 goal, the bet is counted as a "draw" and returns without any winnings accrual.

Asian and European Handicap

A type of handicap betting with special add-ons, for example dividing the fee into two components, one of which counts as a contribution to the handicap and the other counts as a draw.

Exact score betting

This is the most difficult but the highest paying type of bet. The user must guess the exact number of goals scored for both teams. Correct predictions in such variants are more the result of luck, rather than accurate calculations.

Besides the variants mentioned above, there are so-called "temporary bets". According to the rules, users make a prediction on the number of goals scored during a given period of time.

Most of the totalizators allow the possibility of making bets in the course of the match - Live bets. The size of odds in such cases changes in real time according to the current situation and the success of the matches.
