The fun of in-play betting on soccer

Posted by premierleaguepunter in Untagged

So, you’re sitting with your mates, watching the soccer, and one of them proclaims: "You know what, Sydney FC are going to win this game 4-0". Fast forward to the end of the game and, wouldn't you just know it, Sydney FC have only gone and won 4-0, leaving your mate with a big grin on his face. Why, however, is his grin a little wider than usual? Well, that's because he acted on his prediction and placed an in-play bet when Sydney FC were only one goal to the good. You, on the other hand, are sitting there thinking that, although you're glad about the result, it doesn't feel quite as good as you simply didn't put your money where your mouth is.

With soccer games always throwing up shocks and surprises throughout the 90 minutes, and in-play betting markets offering bettors the chance to spice up the action by betting on events as diverse as who will score the next goal and who will be awarded the next corner, it's a great way to enhance the excitement of watching a game.

If, for example, you were watching a tight game and had a sneaky feeling about the identity of the next goalscorer, you could just have a quick look to check the odds, and then watch the rest of the action unfold on the edge of your seat as you wait for your bet to reach its conclusion.

So, when you’re sitting with your mates as the Asian Cup unfolds next year, perhaps watching that first Socceroos match against India, and a heated discussion kicks off about who will be the first player to get a goal during the game, you can wait a while (for as long as you dare) in order to assess which Socceroo looks on fire up front before placing an in-play bet to show your mates you're fully prepared to put your money where your mouth is when it comes to soccer.

Sound tempting? Well, the best place to be for in-play betting is Betfair. You can learn how to use Betfair on the Betfair Education website and it really is worth getting to grips with the process so you don't delay when you badly want to place your next in-play bet.
