Types of Bets You Can Place on Spurs

It’s no big secret that football and sports betting are a match made in heaven. After all, is there anything more satisfying than watching the Spurs win while you’re making some extra money?

However, before you can cash in on your knowledge of the sport, you should learn about some of the most popular types of bets you can place. Of course, while you don’t always have to bet on the Spurs to win, betting on the team you know inside and out is an excellent way to make an educated bet and, hopefully, the winning one.

To help you get started, we prepared a brief betting guide to introduce you to some of the most popular types of bets you can place on the Spurs and show you what bets you can expect to see at the bookies.

The Match Winner Bet

The match-winner bet is the most straightforward one, and it’s an ideal choice for newcomers to betting. As the name suggests, all you have to do to win the bet is predict the winner.

Some bookies even allow you to bet on two out of three possible outcomes, making a bet even easier to win. On the other hand, other bookies will return your wager in case of a draw.

Of course, because these types of bets are significantly easier to win and bear less risk, they also don’t offer the highest profits unless you are betting on the underdog.

The Correct Score Bet

Unlike the match-winner bet, you will have to predict the exact score of the game to win the correct score bet. For example, if the Spurs win 3:0, that’s exactly what you will have to mark on your betting slip.

The correct score bet is one of the hardest to land in football betting. But, at the same time, this also means it’s one of the most profitable ones. However, unless you’re not a seasoned punter, you should avoid betting on the correct score.

Accumulators

Accumulators are multiple bets combined into one, hence the name. With acca bets, you can combine five or more matches into a single betting slip. To win this type of bet, you have to predict all the outcomes on the accumulator. Sounds difficult? Well, it is.

However, what makes accumulators fantastic is that the more bets you add to the betting slip, the more you can win. Namely, with traditional betting, the amount you can win is calculated by multiplying the odds with the amount you wager. 

With acca bets, the odds are multiplied with the odds of each selection you add to the betting slip and are only then multiplied with the initial stake, which allows you to win big by betting small.

Spread Betting

Spread betting will put your football knowledge to the test. With spread betting, a bookie will propose a spread or a line. The closer you are to the spread, the more you will win. At the same time, the further you are from the spread, the less you will win. The same goes if you miss the bet, and the further you are from the line, the more you can lose.

Of course, these are just the basics, and you should learn what spread betting is in greater detail if you wish before you start buying or selling spreads.

Specials

Apart from traditional bets, bookies will often offer some unconventional types of bets. With these types of bets, you can bet on the number of yellow cards, corner kicks, or possessions. You can also bet on whether players like Kane, Heung-min, Ndombélé will score.

Of course, the exact specifics of these bets will vary from one bookie to another, so make sure to stay focused if you’re on the lookout for new opportunities and want to explore some new betting markets.

The Bottom Line

While our short guide can help get you started, betting is much more than just knowing what types of bets you can place. It requires you to know the sport, the teams, the players and their form, and much more.

For that reason, it’s important to do your homework and learn as much as you can before placing a bet. As always, make sure to use your wits and never bet more than you can afford to lose.
