Soccer Betting Rules

 

90 Minutes Play

  • All soccer matches are based on the result at the end of a scheduled 90 minutes play unless otherwise stated. This includes any added injury or stoppage time but does not include extra-time, time allocated for a penalty shootout or golden goal.

Matches Postponed or Abandoned

  • Any match abandoned before the completion of 90 minutes play will be void, graded as no action, except for those bets the outcome of which has already been determined at the time of abandonment.
  • Soccer kickoff dates and times displayed on our website are an indication only and are not guaranteed to be correct. If a match does not start as scheduled, and does not start the same day, then wagers on the match will have no action and be refunded. The exception being any wager on whether a team advances in a cup competition, or raises the cup, will have action regardless of a suspended or postponed match.

For FIFA World Cup betting purposes, if a match does not start at the exact scheduled time or does not start on the original start date, all bets on that match will stand and will be settled when the game is completed, regardless of the date or time played. Same rule will apply in case a game is postponed or abandoned before the completion of 90 minutes.

Soccer Bet Types:

Asian Handicap or Goal Line

  • Soccer games may have either a Single Handicap or a Double Handicap.
  • Single Handicap: This bet type is similar to a bet on the spread in football and basketball.
  • For example:

Real Madrid -1 -130

Barcelona   +1 +110

If Real Madrid wins the match by two goals or more, Real Madrid bettors win and Barcelona bettors lose. If the match is drawn or if Barcelona wins, Barcelona bettors win and Real Madrid bettors lose. If Real Madrid wins by exactly one goal, all bettors receive a refund.

  • Double Handicap: This bet type splits a wager into two bets, each with the same moneyline, but at a different single handicap.
  • For example:

Real Madrid -1¼ -115

Barcelona   +1¼ -105

A client who risks $100 on Real Madrid actually has two separate bets on Real Madrid: $50 on Real Madrid -1 at -115 and $50 on Real Madrid -1.5 at -115.

A client who risks $50 on Barcelona actually has two separate bets on Barcelona: $25 on Barcelona +1 at -105 and $25 on Barcelona +1.5 at -105.

Three Way Money line or 1x2

  • Moneyline wagers have three outcomes, you can pick either of the teams to win, or you can pick a draw, all bets placed on either of the teams will be graded as losers in case the game finishes as a draw.
