Soccer Betting Tips
By: Charles Beckham (Follow me on Twitter @CharlesBeckham_)
Betting on soccer may seem a foreign concept, but is in fact quite simple and can yield high profits when played correctly. There are several factors to consider when placing wagers on soccer games.
Standard Betting
The basic odds and spreads of betting usually look like this:
Chelsea -1 (-110) -170 Over 3 (-120) Over 2 Under 2
Arsenal +1 (-110) +218 Under 3 (Even) Over 1 Under 1
DRAW +188

Standard Spread
- The first column after the team name is the spread, this is what you are most see most often. Chelsea must win by more than 1 goal to win, and Arsenal must draw, at least, for the bet to win.
Money Line
- The second column is your money line. If you were to place $170 on Chelsea, you would be in play to win $100. A $100 bet on Arsenal would result in a $218 payout. The bottom number is the money line on a draw, a $100 bet would payout with $188.
Over/Under -Total
- The third column is the total number over goals scored by each team. At over 3 goals, Chelsea must score 4 goals for the bet to hit. The parentheses indicate the money line for this wager. A $120 bet on the over is necessary for a $100 payout. A bet on the under is even money.
Over/Under- Team
- The last column is the total scored by each individual team

Asian Handicapping
Sometimes you will see a spread presented in this way:
Chelsea -.5, -1 (-110)
Arsenal +.5, +1 (-110)
- This is called Asian Handicapping, and you will only see it in soccer. This bet takes the first half of the match into account as well as the entire game. On a $100 bet, Chelsea must win the first half by 1 goal and more than 1 goal for the game. The $100 is split equally between the two halves 50-50. Each half is separately in play and is not treated as a parlay.
