To get even more from our AI-generated tips here at BetIdeas, you need to read our betting guides as these explain how to bet on different sports. Look at them for in-depth information about betting on football, horse racing and other pastimes.
Football Betting Guides
Football is the most popular sport in the world, both in terms of spectators and betting. We reflect this with our coverage of the beautiful game.
On top of of daily free football betting tips created by AI computer systems, here are some of the detailed guides that BetIdeas experts put together. These look at different types of bet and how they work:
- Asian Handicap – A form of handicap betting originating from Asia. The idea is to eliminate the possibility of betting on the draw in a game. Depending on which type of Asian Handicap you choose, there will either always be a clear winner in the game or your stake is refunded if there’s a draw.
- Booking Points – One of the more interesting betting markets on football concerns booking points for yellow and red cards shown in a game, which earn a certain amount of points. You then bet on what the total number of bookings points will be.
- BTTS Betting – BTTS stands for Both Teams To Score and is a very popular football market. You bet on whether both of the teams playing will score a goal.
- Double Chance – As the name suggests, the Double Chance bet gives you not just one, but two chances to win. You wager on the result of a football match with three options, which give you two chances of success. Either Team A to win and the Draw, Team B to win and the Draw, or Team A or Team B to win.
- Win Draw Win – This is the standard match result market for a football match, often known as 1×2 betting. There are three options as to what the result of a game will be. Either Team A will win, or the game will end in a draw, or Team B will win.
Horse Betting Guides
The other sport that we pay particular attention to at BetIdeas is horse racing. Here are some of the comprehensive guides we have on the topic of betting on horses.
- Ante Post Betting – This is when you place a bet on a horse race before the race course’s betting market has opened. Punters place such wagers with the expectation that the betting odds will be bigger than will be the case on the course’s market.
- How Does Each Way Betting Work – Many bookies take a lot of each way bets on horse racing. These bets have two parts. You have one bet on the horse to win and another bet on the horse to play. As there are two parts to this bet, your unit stake is doubled.
- Full Cover Bets – These are types of bets with multiple selections, where every combination between those selections is covered. Take a Patent, for example. It has three selections and seven different bets. There are three singles, three doubles and a treble. Every combo is covered.
- Lucky Bets – Other full cover bets include the various range of lucky bets. Each has a number attached that shows the number of bets involved. There’s a Lucky 15 with four selections, a Lucky 31 with five picks and a Lucky 63 containing six choices.
- What Does SP Mean – SP is an abbreviation for Starting Price. This refers to the odds available from betting platforms at the start of a race. Most online sports betting sites give Best Odds Guaranteed, where they will pay out at the SP if it’s bigger than the price you took.
