<\/strong><\/p>\n This is a fairly self-explanatory bet type but one that can pay some brilliant odds if you manage to get it dead on. You just need to decide what the exact score will be in the game that you are interested in. It’s easy enough to make a guess, but as you can imagine, with so many factors in play, it’s not an easy task to get right at all.<\/p>\n This guide will share with you a few tips and strategies on how to get the most out of betting on correct score markets.<\/p>\n As it is a difficult bet, when you bet on the correct score in a football match there are some good odds guaranteed. This is down to the number of potential outcomes in any given match compared to a simple result bet. A basic result win bet might come with odds of 5\/4, for example, while a 1-0 correct score bet for the same match could realistically be 15\/2. In this example, the same \u00a35 bet will get returns of either \u00a311.25 or \u00a342.50, respectively, which as you can see is a huge difference.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The minimum odds on a correct score bet shouldn\u2019t be lower than 5\/1 so there’s nothing stopping you placing more than one bet on this market. One old tactic is to go for 1-0, 2-0 or 2-1 for the team you fancy to win. You can often place bets on all three knowing that if one of them comes in you will still make a profit:<\/p>\n 3 x bets of \u00a31 = \u00a33 wagered.<\/strong><\/p>\n 1 x win at 5\/1 = \u00a36 returns.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a36 – \u00a33 = \u00a33 profit.<\/strong><\/p>\n Of course, if you fancy the chances of an upset in a game then there are some really excellent prices to take advantage of. If a team is odds on to win then the correct score options for their opponents are going to be very attractive indeed.<\/p>\n If a side is just a shade off odds on, say 19\/20, their opponents might be 13\/5 to win<\/em>. When it comes to the correct score<\/em>, however, a 1-0 win for the favourites might be 9\/2 but 15\/2 for the outsiders. The odds for the outsiders just keep on getting larger, especially the odds of them keeping a clean sheet, and if you really believe there’s going to be a shock result you can make a killing. This doesn\u2019t happen often, but it makes a good headline when it does.<\/p>\nThe Basics<\/h2>\n
