Where To Bet Soccer Online
In this section I am going to cover where to bet soccer online.
First my apologies to my non North American readers for calling it “soccer”. However I receive a lot of visitors from the US and Canada, and I do feel soccer is a good global name for it. Plus under “Football” I cover the NFL, CFL etc so to call it “American Football” then cover the Canadian league just feels weird.
So this is the soccer section. Within it you will find the best places to bet soccer online. You can bet soccer at any online sportsbook however I cover the best places to bet soccer at online.
Just a few factors I consider when telling you where to bet soccer at include:
- Sportsbook Trust
- Deposit and Reload Bonuses
- Best Odds
- Player and Team Props
- Variety of Match Bets Available
- Variety of Competition Bets Available
- Live Betting
- Customer Support
There are a lot of factors to consider when it comes to soccer betting so let’s get into where the best sportsbooks to bet soccer are:
Where To Bet Soccer Online:
America: The best place for Americans to bet soccer online is Everygame. The reason for that is that most other sportsbooks that accept Americans only focus on American sports so their soccer betting is quite limited.
Everygame however are a sportsbook that have been around since 1998 and have always had a strong focus and base in Europe and have a strong European base. So that means that they will cover a wide variety of betting beyond the major leagues such as the Spanish LaLiga 2, or the UAE Gulf League.
The only issue is they are a bit restrictive in regard to the amount of props available and that they don’t currently offer live betting. So for Americans I would advise having two accounts. One at Everygame, and one at Bovada, who cover a lot more individual props and cover a good variety of player props. Bovada also offer live betting on soccer.
Canada: You should have an account at Sports Interaction for sure. These guys are Canadian only but have a very strong focus on soccer. They cover an incredible amount of leagues, offer live betting, futures and an excellent amount of prop bets. They also offer live betting. Again I would have two accounts – one at Sports Interaction and one at Bet365 Sportsbook.
Everywhere Else: 100% go with Bet365 Sportsbook if you want a catch-all sportsbook for soccer betting. The amount of leagues they cover is absolutely insane along with the amount of prop bets available for each match. They offer enhanced prices on select competitions, early payout offers and even the ability to create your very own personalized soccer bet. Their live betting is in my opinion the best in the business. I’ll be honest I often don’t bother chasing the best odds – out of pure convenience and user interface, I place the majority of my soccer bets at Bet365 Sportsbook. Can’t speak highly enough of them and they offer live streaming for a lot of matches too.

In this article, I go into detail about everything to do with correct score bets.

Half-Time Correct Score: The same bet as above, except you are betting the correct score at the end of the first half, not the entire match.

Where To Make Specific Soccer Bets:
Soon I will have articles here on where to make specific soccer bets, such as anytime goalscorer, half time/full time, corner betting and more.
How to Bet Soccer Online
Everygame: Their interface isn’t the best to be fair. You’ll find “Soccer” on the left hand side then when you click that it lists the upcoming games in the middle. You can use the left side to filter by competition. Then also click on each match to see the bets specific to that match. If you wish to live bet you need to click the “Live Betting” option although as of this writing they are currently revamping the live betting section and nothing is available.
Bovada: In the “Sports” section, “Soccer” is one of the featured sports listed at the top. Click that and well – it’s going to be a mess unfortunately. They will offer live betting odds righ tat the top and then a lot of scrolling down. What you need to do is use the menu bars above the bets to filter by the competition you wish to bet. Then you can click on each match to expand. I will warn you that initially, soccer betting will be frustrating here.
Sports Interaction: On the left hand side is the soccer option and they will also list the most popular betting options within that category when you expand on it. They also have a live soccer betting option within that. For actual betting just click on the competition you wish to bet. They cover a wide variety. Then it will list the match odds and you can click the “+ _bets” section at the bottom right of each match to expand that and see the amount of bets available per match.
Bet365 Sportsbook: On the left side is “Soccer”. Click that and the soccer section opens up and it will list everything available first by country, then when you expand that by competition. Click on a competition and you then get presented with match bets you can make. You can also siwtch at the top to “Teams”, “Outrights” and “Tables” for additional bets.
What Soccer Bets /Props Are There?
Soccer is the most bet on sport in the world, so there is an absolutely insane amount of bets available.The most common bet you can make is a 3-way bet where you are betting that one team will win, or that it will be a draw.
However sportsbooks offer literally over a hundred different betting options. Here are just a few examples of things you can bet on in a soccer match:
- The correct score
- If both teams will score or not
- First, Last and Anytime Goalscorer
- The Asian Handicap
- Winning Margin
- If a specific player will get booked or sent off
- If there will be a red card
- Time of first card
- Who gets the most corners
- Over/under on corners
- If a team will win from behind
- If there will be an own goal
And so much more. This is just the tip of the iceberg. So many bets available.
Common Soccer Betting Questions:
How can I bet on soccer and win?
I’ve got a soccer betting strategy below. Have a quick look at that for a brief idea to get started on winning at soccer.
Where can I bet on Euro 2020?
Any of the above sportsbooks are the best places to bet Euro 2020.
Where To Watch Soccer Online:
There are too many options to list of course ha. Depends really on the country. If you are looking for a sportsbook that offers live streaming options of a lot of different leagues, I personally use Bet365 Sportsbook.
Soccer Betting Strategy:
There is obviously a lot of soccer betting strategies you can use to try and win at soccer.
My own personal methods are (1) focusing on minor leagues and (2) focusing on various prop bets.
So focusing on the Scottish Division 1 or the French NationaL League for example. You’ll see a lot of even odds in those or odds made up based primarily on the basics involving each teams. If you dive into them you can really get an advantage over the sportsbooks when it comes to these sort of leagues. Learn what players are important for each team etc. Understand each teams tactics and so on.
I also think focusing on prop bets is a smart move too such as corners or card betting. Please note that there’s a lot more to it than the basics. Just because Liverpool average 11 corners per game and Watford average 5, doesn’t mean that Liverpool will automatically have more corners than them. There is a lot to consider when it comes to that. Similar when it comes to over/under. Start watching the games with a strong focus on corners and why they happen and how the game script affects it. That’s the best way to start with any sort of prop bet like that.
Same thing with card betting. Just because a team averages 3 yellow cards a game doesn’t mean much by itself. Look at the data – when are they getting those cards? When they’re winning and defending and wasting time? When they’re losing and getting frustrated? All things you need to consider.
Live betting is a great option too. Look for those teams who are good at scoring late and look at backing them. Teams such as Glasgow Celtic over the years have been good for that. If a team is beating them or even drawing with them, you will see that team park the bus however Celtic have been good at breaking teams like that down.
