*Among the longest established and largest PPHs |
During the so-called "off season", customers still want to place bets. There are soccer games just about every single day. This summer there will be plenty of international World Cup friendlies to bet on.
Sports betting is expanding, and bookies can make a full-time career out of their own business.
PayPerHead.com is the premium sportsbook solution that offers over 80 leagues and 1000’s of events.
International sports like soccer offer excellent ways for bookies to increase action.
Handicapping in Soccer
In addition to betting on soccer match moneylines, bettors can also wager on the handicap. The handicap offers goals for higher investments on dogs and takes away goals for lower investments on favorites.
If a bettor wishes to accept the 1 ½ goals on a favorite of -220, they must risk a higher dollar amount of $220 to make a $100 profit.
If they wish to lay 1 ½ goals on the underdog at +120, they can make $120 profit from a $100 investment.
Set Max Betting Limits on Moneyline Games
There are teams that will always win, so in order to reduce losses, set low limits and don't be afraid to discourage action either.
We all know Belgium is going to beat Scotland in their international friendly.
Combined with high odds and low maximum wagers, your players might be looking at winning no more than $5 or $10. It's an easy $5 or $10, and giving that away should not kill you. Most of your customers will simply stay away.
Draws Help Boost Revenue
These are not available in most US sports (i.e. NFL). Many soccer matches end in draws, even with teams that appear to be lopsided in skill. Draws are like a cushion or insurance.
Offer Game and Player Props
Include Margin of Victory betting as well as Both Teams to Score YES or NO and First Goalscorer. These help to further reduce losses or increase profits.
Encourage Betting on Soccer by Providing Stategy and Picks Sites
There are some excellent picks and previews sites pertaining to Soccer, starting with Opta Stats. Soccer has been around for decades so you will find expansive detailed breakdowns for each matchup.
