Italy is home to classical arts and culture, but sporting drama also. Without further ado, here are our top 10 facts about Serie A:
You might be new to betting and taking your first steps. If that's the case, then we explain here how Serie A odds work in their most basic form. Here's a typical match result betting market from Italian soccer:
In this example, Juventus are the betting favourites. For every C$11 staked on them, there's C$8 of profit to be had making a total return of C$19.
Betting on a draw or tie is common in soccer. A C$6 wager on the final score being level here generates returns of C$10 - C$4 of which is profit.
If you fancy Inter Milan to win the game, then an C$8 bet wins C$13 meaning your returns C$21.
Odds can be expressed in decimal form like this example or using the American money line system with plus and minus signs. Some sportsbooks even use British fractions for prices. Check out our odds calculator below for further details:
When it comes to Serie A odds, certain markets and types of wager are more popular than others. Here are some of the most common explained:
As you can see above, the most basic bet on offer is who will win the match. Either team or a draw are the possible outcomes.
How many goals will there be in a game? You can either bet on these exactly or using the Under/Over brackets specified on sportsbooks.
When one team are strong favourites, they will be a short price in the match winner
betting. Sportsbooks often set handicap or spread margins in such cases.
These are imaginary deficits for the fancied team to overturn or advantages for the betting underdogs
to hold on to.
This bet combines a traditional match winner wager with whether or not both teams will score a goal.
Can either team win a match without conceding a goal?
Away from Serie A betting on matches, there are some futures markets for long-term investments if you’re prepared to be patient. Backing a soccer player to finish the season as the top goalscorer is very popular.
Finishing in the top four of Serie A guarantees qualification for the following season's UEFA Champions League. You can bet on which teams will do that.
Betting on who will be crowned champions of Italian soccer is another popular futures market.
