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: Leandro Paredes to be carded/booked (+210)

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

Leandro Paredes to be carded/booked (+210 B365 Including Extra Time)

He will be tasked to guard Bellingham, who has drawn 4/2/1/4/0/1 fouls so far. Paredes is an extremely aggressive player that won’t hesitate to put his feet on the line to save his team. He got carded 9 times in 21 matches with Boca Juniors this season, and 9 times in 18 matches last season.

Take 1% on Leandro Paredes to be booked (+210 B365 Including Extra Time), line good to +200. If “Including Extra Time” is not available in your book, reduce stake to 0.75% (and you probably get better odds).

As always, you can find Cards/Bookings Props under the Cards/Fouls/Bookings tab in most books. If you can't see those tabs, card betting is probably illegal in your state and therefore, not available.

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.

THE PLAY: REGULATION Bissen 0.0 (-113)

Bissen vs Klaksvik
Champions League Qualifiers, Wednesday, 2:15pm ET

Play: Bissen +0.0 (same bet as Bissen PK or Bissen Draw no Bet)
Odds at Time of Release: -113
Line Parameter: Line good to -125

Just three years ago, Bissen were a team that was relegated to the 3rd division in Luxembourg, so imagine how low they were. However, a Portuguese businessman took over the team, appointed a Portuguese manager and bought a bunch of players that are better than the average, and turned them into a contender. They went unbeaten and were promoted to the 2nd division, then finished 3rd in regular season but they were promoted to the top tier in 2025. Then magic came, as they became the FIRST team in the nation’s history to win the title as a newly promoted side, after 70 years!

Now their owner has an appetite and wants his team to become just the 2nd team from Luxembourg to participate in a European competition. Everyone in Luxembourg (and it’s not a lot of people) will be rooting for Bissen, as their win would benefit all clubs. Bissen lost the first leg in Iceland by 2-1 and they absolutely need a win here to stay alive. They looked Klaksvik in the eye and in a venue where Klaksvik are quite hard to beat. Now the match-up is reversed. A win by a single goal will send this to extra time, a win by 2+ goals will see them through. A draw or a loss will see them eliminated.

I like this Cinderella story, I like the fact that they’ve built a team that has just 7 domestic players (out of 21), with several players from Spain, Portugal, Morocco, Algeria, France etc. On the other hand, Klaksvik are not to be underestimated, but they traditionally do poorly on the road in European competitions.

Take 2% on Bissen 0.0 (-113), line good to -125. This is the same bet as Bissen Draw no Bet, or Bissen PK. This bet wins if Bissen win in regulation, this bet is a Push/Refund/Void if it's a Draw in regulation, and this bet only loses if Klaksvik win in regulation.

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.
