The soccer markets
Low scores and a real chance of a draw shape every soccer market.
- 1X2. Home, draw or away - a three-way bet settled on regular time plus stoppage time.
- Draw no bet. Back a team; if the match is drawn, your stake comes back.
- Asian handicap. A handicap that removes the draw. Whole lines (0, -1) refund on an exact result. Quarter lines split your stake: -0.25 puts half on 0 and half on -0.5.
- Totals. Over or under 2.5 goals is the classic line.
- Both teams to score (BTTS). Yes or no - result does not matter.
- Props and futures. Goalscorer, cards, corners; league winner, top scorer.
Our soccer betting guide covers leagues and timing; moneyline, spread and totals explains the line types they borrow from.
What a 1X2 market costs you
Three outcomes means three places to build in margin. Hegarty and Whelan, in a column for CEPR, used these real prices as an example:
Home 1.90 / Draw 4.76 / Away 3.17
- Implied
- 52.63% + 21.01% + 31.55% = 105.19% overround
- Payout 95.07% -> margin 4.93%
- Compare a two-way line at -110 / -110
- margin 4.55%
The same research, across 84,230 European matches from 2011 to 2022, found Asian handicap bets carry lower margins than 1X2 and do not show the favourite-longshot bias: on 1X2, longshots lose more per dollar than favourites. If you like an outsider, the Asian handicap is often the cheaper way to back it. Price any line in the odds converter.

Notes worth knowing: 20Bet says its bet builder is thin outside soccer - soccer is where it is strongest. Sports Interaction rates its own European soccer coverage below rivals in our data. Stake publishes season-long boosted odds and in-play refund promos on soccer; see odds boosts and bet insurance for what those are worth. MagicianBet lists futsal and padel next to soccer.
Accumulators and live soccer
Weekend soccer accumulators are the classic long-odds ticket. Each leg multiplies the margin too: a four-leg coin-flip parlay lands 6.25% of the time. Check yours in the parlay calculator and read parlays explained. Some books add an acca boost - it pays more when you win but does not change the hit rate.
Live soccer is slower than basketball but goals flip prices instantly; live betting and cash out explains how cash-out values are set. For another global sport with constant fixtures, see the tennis page.
Before you bet
These books are licensed outside Canada and serve players outside Ontario and Alberta. Provincial self-exclusion does not reach them, so use each account's deposit limits. 19+. Help: responsible gambling.
Questions players ask
What does 1X2 mean?
Home win (1), draw (X) or away win (2) after regular time plus stoppage time. Extra time and penalties normally do not count.
What is an Asian handicap?
A handicap that removes the draw. Whole lines refund the stake on an exact result, and quarter lines split the stake across two lines, so part of it can be refunded.
Which soccer markets have the lowest margin?
Research by Hegarty and Whelan on 84,230 European matches found Asian handicap bets carry lower margins than 1X2 bets, and that 1X2 longshots lose more per dollar staked.
How did Canada do at the 2026 World Cup?
Canada reached the round of 16 for its best-ever men's result, with a first World Cup win, 6-0 against Qatar in Vancouver. Spain beat Argentina 1-0 after extra time in the final.
