How to read France betting odds
Here at Betway, we use fractional terms to present odds for France at the World Cup – as well as across our full range of football betting markets. In essence, this means that each individual outcome is assigned a fraction that represents how likely it is to occur. The smaller the fraction (e.g. 1/2), the more chance the outcome has of happening. The bigger the fraction (e.g. 7/1), the less chance the outcome has of happening.
Fractional odds also make it simple if you want to work out what you would earn with a successful bet. As all you need to do is divide the amount you staked by the number on the right of the fraction, before multiplying it by the number on the left of the fraction.
If you want further explanation, read our fractional odds explainer guide or take advantage of our useful betting calculator tool! If you prefer, we have provided an example for you below as well.
An example of France football odds
When looking at France’s fixtures in Group I, their odds to defeat Senegal are 4/9, whereas the odds for Senegal to beat France are 5/1.
This means that if you were to place a successful £9 bet on France to beat Senegal, you would receive £13 overall (9 ÷ 9 = 1, then 1 x 4 = 4, plus the original £9 bet).
However, if you were to make a successful bet on Senegal to win and bet £9, you would be making even more money. If this bet were to come through, you would receive £45 instead (9 ÷ 1 = 9, then 9 x 5 = 36, plus the original £9 stake).
It must be noted that although more money can be made from betting on Senegal to win, the fact that the odds are higher highlights that it’s a riskier bet that is less likely to succeed.
Popular France football bet types
There are many ways for you to get involved with France’s football odds as there are a variety of markets to bet on. Below are some of the most favoured markets by bettors, with the different bet types that we offer:
Match result
Our most popular betting option, the ‘match result’ market lets bettors decide what they think the final result of a game will be. Users will have the choice to place bets on each team in a match, predicting whether their selected side will win or draw the match.
To win the group
Another one of the more frequently selected betting markets, this bet type lets you predict the team that will top their group at a tournament. If your selected team does win the group, your bet is a success! Looking at the 2026 World Cup, can France top Group I against Senegal, Norway, and Iraq?
To win the World Cup
One of the biggest decisions you’ll have to make for a bet, this particular betting market lets you choose who you believe will be named World Cup winners. Can the 2018 champions France regain their crown? If you believe they will, pick them as your World Cup winner and wait until July 19th to see if you’re right!
Goalscorers
Can you pick out the goalscorers in France’s matches? If you can, this market is right for you! Pick a match that you’re interested in and choose which players you believe will grab a goal at any point throughout the game.
Under/over goals
If you feel like you’ll be good at predicting the number of goals in a France game, the ‘under/over goals’ market will suit you to a tee. As an example, if the line is set at 2.5 goals, you’ll be able to decide if there will be more or fewer goals scored (for both teams!) during the game.
Accumulator
The ‘accumulator’ market (also known as an ‘acca’) allows you to combine different bets together into one. So, in order for the bet to come through, each individual part must succeed for you to receive all your winnings. With this market, though, the payout may be larger, but it comes with a higher risk of losing as well.
Can I bet on France football in-play?
Yes, you’re able to bet on France matches of your choice even during the game itself. Betway’s in-play betting feature allows users to respond to various incidents during a match, such as red cards, goals, injuries, and more. So, if you’re wanting to place a new bet or cash out because the momentum in the game has changed, you can!
