How to Bet on Soccer Cheat Sheet

What’s Inside:

How Soccer Betting Differs from American Sports: Learn why soccer betting is unique — from the 90-minute rule to why bets settle at the end of regulation, even if there's extra time or penalty kicks.

Understanding 3-Way Betting: Master one of the most common soccer bets: choosing between a win, loss, or draw. Know when to target underdogs, draws, or favorites based on match scenarios.

Moneyline, Totals, and Goal Lines Explained: Get clear on soccer-specific moneylines, how over/under total goals work, and how goal lines (similar to spreads) create different betting opportunities.

Futures Betting in Soccer: Dive into betting markets like which team will win a tournament (World Cup, UEFA Champions League) or finish top of a domestic league. Understand odds movement throughout a season.

Props and Specialty Bets: Explore popular soccer prop bets, including “Both Teams to Score” (BTTS), “Correct Score,” “First Goal Scorer,” and player props like total shots or cards received.

Key Tips for Betting Soccer Smarter: Learn what stats matter most in soccer betting — from team form and injuries to head-to-head matchups, goal differential, and lineup rotation based on tournament schedules.

Bonus: Injury Time & Extra Time Basics: Understand how injury time impacts betting results, and why knowing tournament overtime rules is critical before placing knockout-stage bets.

Summary Teaser (Optional add-on):
Soccer betting isn’t like betting football, basketball, or baseball — and if you don't know the differences, you're leaving money on the table. Our free Soccer Betting 101 Cheat Sheet walks you through everything you need to bet smarter: from 3-way betting basics to futures, goal lines, and beyond.

THE PLAY: REGULATION Switzerland to Miss a Penalty Kick (+2800)

New to soccer betting? Confused by 3-way lines? Our free Soccer Cheat Sheet has you covered: https://www.wagertalk.com/free-sports-picks/downloads

Hear me out here. Messi has already missed two penalty kicks in the competition, and Switzerland's manager said that his goalkeeper (Kobel), took extra training in penalties. He saved 8 of 44 Penalty Kicks in his career, which is a 18% save rate, not great but not terrible, basically saves 1 out of 5/6 Penalty Kicks.

On the other hand we have Emiliano Martinez for Argentina, who is one of the best Penalty Savers in the history of the game. Mind-games prior to shooting tend to throw off shooters, he does save a lot but players have also missed the target entirely due to his antics.

Taking two longshots here, 0.25% on each one.

0.25% Argentina to Miss a Penalty Kick (+1600 B365)

0.25% Switzerland to Miss a Penalty Kick (+2800 B365)

Take 0.25% on Switzerland to Miss a Penalty Kick (+2800 B365), line good to +2000

NOTE: These bets are for REGULATION ONLY. If you can't find these, just take 0.5% on Penalty Kick Awarded (+275 B365), line good to +225

World Cup Thank You Bonus: As a way to say thanks for buying my World Cup Package, you get 100% back, the full $149, toward my 1 Year Soccer Pass. That drops the price to $550 with code BB149. It covers the next 12 months and any soccer play, regardless of league or tournament, plus my 5% Soccer Best Bets. Added bonus: your 365 days do not start counting down until after the World Cup ends, so you get the rest of the tournament before the clock even starts.

Consultant Bio

Pavlos betting on European sports when he was in High School, back when most people his age didn't even know how to bet. After acquiring a Bachelor's Degree in International Economic Relationships and development from the Democritus University in Greece, Pavlos took a different path.

Things really took off for him in 2014 when he officially started writing predictions for US-based sites. Things picked up pretty quickly, and he has produced thousands upon thousands of match previous and predictions. He tends to venture off the beaten path, looking for hidden gems in a myriad of games you can bet on.

Single and double bets aside, Pavlos likes to play the odds as well. While some days there are safe single bets, there are other days that provide opportunities for different bets. Bets like Correct Scores, amount of Yellow Cards, Half-Time/Full-Time results, and all kinds of prop bets. Pavlos covers the following leagues: Major League Soccer (MLS), Copa America, EURO Cup, English Premier League, German Bundesliga, Spanish La Liga, Italian Serie A, French Ligue 1, Champions League, and Europa League.

The betting systems he created have seen some massive pay-outs over the years. A couple of correct scores paired together can potentially save your entire season. These are small-stake bets that cost a few units but could bring massive returns on your investment.
