Tips and Tricks on Sports Betting in the Champions League

Looking at the Champions League predictions and understanding them are two completely different things. Come with us as we offer you a few tips and tricks to understand the Championship League Player odds a lot quicker than you normally would.

What are the Odds in Sports Betting?

Sports betting odds are simply the outcomes we see when wanting to place our bets. All odds will differ according to the sport, which is why it's important to understand the odds for each game.

The Different Types of Odds

Understanding your odds starts by knowing the different types of odds that you can place a wager on. There are three different types of odds, and below, we look into these odds, making it easier for you to understand.

Fractional Odds

If you've tried your hand at sports betting, then you would have seen a fractional odd. Fractional odds are the fractions you see when trying to place a bet. Fractional odds are represented with a forward slash or a dash.

A good example of this would be if you placed a $10 bet that has a 3/1 odd. If the bet you've placed has won, then you can expect to get your initial investment of $10 and an additional $30.

When trying to understand the fractional odds try your best to think of the number on the left as the number your initial wager will be multiplied by. This will assist you when you need to figure out how much your wager will return as.

Decimal Odds

There has been a lot of confusion surrounding decimal odds as they are similar to fractional odds; however, they are both different. Decimal odds are represented as decimal numbers and give you an indication of what you can expect to win for every dollar you have placed within the wager. Let's say you've placed a $10 wager with a 3.0 odd. You will get $30 in return for your wager. Meaning that the math behind everything is $10x3.0, which will give you $30.

Money Lines

One of the most complicated of all odds is money lines which are mainly used in America. These odds are usually centered around a $100 wager. When placing a money line bet, you'll always bump into a minus and a plus sign. The minus sign is for the team that is most likely to win. The minus sign will always be followed up by a three-digit number. Those that are less likely to win will always have a plus sign.

A bookmaker is in charge of choosing which team will win or lose, meaning which teams will get the plus and minus symbols. The amazing thing about money line bets is that you will always get your original wager back whether the teams win or lose, making it extremely attractive for beginners. Always keep in mind that the winnings you make will differ from each amount.

So let's say you made a $100 wager with a +300 odd; this is a less likely bet. If your bet wins, you'll end up getting $400.

Let's say you want to place a bet on the winning team. To make a $100 profit, you'll need to place a $300 bet. This will mean that you'll have $400 to withdraw.

Casinos do this because they lose money every time you win. By placing a bet on an already winning team, you can always be sure of your winnings which is why the odds are higher.
