Football betting rules

Football or soccer is a team sport played between two teams. Each team consists of eleven players with a circular ball. The game is played by 250 million official players in over 200 countries and territories, making it the world's most popular sport.
The field is rectangular shaped with a goal at each end. The point of the game is to score by moving the ball beyond the goal line of the other team.
Players can’t touch the ball with hands or arms while in play, unless they are goalkeepers and only in their penalty area. Other players use their feet to shoot or pass the ball, but are allowed to use other part of their body except the hands and the arms.
The team with the most goals wins. If the score is equal at the end of the game, either a draw is declared or the game goes into extra time or a penalty shootout depending on the type of the tournament.

In football matches bets are accepted on regular time if it is not specified differently by the provider in the program (line). The results registered in overtime and penalty shootout are not taken into account during calculation of the bets made on the outcomes offered for regular time.
Compensated time is referred to the regular time of the corresponding half-time or full-time. The full-time of a football match is 90 minutes (each half lasts 45 minutes). For the football match of a different format, notice, informing about the format of the match, is made in the program (line).
Match format may also be changed during the football match. In this case, the bets are subject to calculation according to final result, if the notice, informing about possible format change, has been made in the program (line).
If the notice has not been made in the program (line), all the bets are subject to calculation with the odds “1” (one), except for the bets, the outcomes of which has been already determined and do not depend on the match format.

Some of the bets offered on the outcomes of football matches:

    * Victory of the first team in match (half) – “Win 1”.
    * Draw in match (in the half) – “X”.
    * Victory of the second team in match (half) – “Win 2”.
    * The first team will not lose match (half) – “1X”.

    * The second team will win (not lose) match (half) with the handicap taken into account – “Handicap 2”.
    * Bets on total number of goals scored by the teams in match (half) – “Total over (under) the value of bet argument”.
    * Bets on total number of goals scored in match (half) to be even (odd).

Asian handicap

Asian handicap betting is a form of betting on football in which teams are handicapped according to their form so that a stronger team must win by more goals for a punter betting on them to win.
The system originated in Indonesia and has gained popularity in the early 21st century. It is a form of spread betting. Handicaps typically range from one-quarter goal to several goals, in increments of half- or even quarter-goals.

In the event that a whole number is used for the handicap, the handicap adjusted final score could result in a draw. This situation is not a draw, but a push. With a push, all bettors have their original wagers returned as there is no winner.
The plus signs in the Team result columns indicate "or more", eg. "2+" means "by 2 goals or more"
