How to Bet on Soccer.
Soccer is the world's biggest sport, and you can bet on it almost every day of the year, from the English Premier League and the A-League to World Cup and Champions League nights. The markets are a little different to Australian codes because a draw is a real outcome. Here is how soccer betting works and how to place a bet.
Popular soccer betting markets
Win-draw-win (1X2)
The core soccer market, with three outcomes: home win, draw, or away win. Because a draw is on offer, the win prices are often longer than in two-way sports.
Both teams to score
Bet yes or no on whether both teams will find the net. It is popular because it does not depend on who wins.
Over/under goals
Back the total goals to be over or under a set number, commonly 2.5. See over/under betting explained.
Draw no bet and double chance
Draw no bet refunds your stake if the match is drawn, removing one of the three outcomes. Double chance lets you cover two of the three results in one bet, at a shorter price.
First and anytime goalscorer, and correct score
Pick a player to score first or at any time, or predict the exact final score for a bigger price.
Asian handicap
A line-style market that removes the draw by giving one team a goals start. It works much like line betting in other codes.
How to place a soccer bet on Bet Right
- Open the match you want, in the EPL, A-League or another competition.
- Choose your market, such as win-draw-win, both teams to score or over/under goals.

Tips for betting on soccer
- Respect the draw, especially between evenly matched teams, it is a genuine third result.
- Check team news for rotation, midweek fixtures often see changed line-ups.
- Home advantage and travel can matter, particularly in European competitions.
- Set a budget before kick-off.
Key soccer competitions
Soccer runs almost year-round. The English Premier League and most European leagues play from August to May, the A-League over the Australian summer, and major international tournaments such as the World Cup, the European Championship and the AFC Asian Cup punctuate the calendar. Champions League nights and finals draw the heaviest betting, alongside season-long futures on the title, the top four and relegation.
