How to read Spain betting odds
Like all standard bets in the UK, Betway uses fractional terms to present Spain odds. To put it simply, this means each game or market outcome is represented as a fraction that signals how likely that outcome is to occur. The smaller the fraction (e.g. 1/3), the higher the chance of that outcome happening; the bigger the fraction (e.g. 8/1), the lower the chance of that outcome happening.
Not only is this a way of seeing bets clearly, but it’s also easy to work out how much money you would earn should you win. All you need to do to work out your possible earnings is divide the amount of money you staked by the number on the right side of the fraction, then multiply that by the number on the left side of the fraction. It’s that simple!
Our fractional odds guide provides more information on this type of betting system if you would like more details. We also have a useful betting calculator tool for you to check out! Just in case, we’ve provided some betting examples below as well.
An example of Spain football odds
For this year’s World Cup, the odds of Spain defeating Cape Verde are 1/14 and the odds of Cape Verde beating Spain are 20/1 – showing a significant difference in each nation’s chances.
If you placed a £14 bet on Spain to defeat Cape Verde, you would earn back £15 overall (14 ÷ 14 = 1, then 1 × 1 = 1, plus the original £14 bet).
The odds for Cape Verde beating Spain are higher, so if they were successful, the chances of you earning more money are increased. For example, if you bet £20 on Cape Verde defeating Spain, you would earn £420 back (20 ÷ 1 = 20, then 20 × 20 = 400, plus the original £20 bet).
It’s important to note that even though this amount of money seems tempting, it would be a much riskier choice to bet your money on a Cape Verde win. With the odds signifying that they’re less likely to be successful in the upcoming match, the stakes are certainly higher.
Popular Spain football bet types
There are many ways to bet on the World Cup this year beyond simple match outcome predictions. Below, we’ve listed some of the most favoured markets bettors get involved with and the different bet types we have to offer.
Match result
This is the bet type we discussed previously in the fractional odds examples. In this market, bettors bet on the ‘match result’ and decide what the outcome of the match will be. Users will have the choice to place bets on both teams involved in the match, predicting whether each team will win or draw the game.
To win the group
This is another popular market amongst bettors. This bet type lets you predict the team that will end up victorious in their groups at the tournament. If your chosen team is successful, you can win money! This year, Spain is in Group H, with Uruguay, Cape Verde and Saudi Arabia. You can bet on any of these teams to win their group. Which one will you choose?
To win the World Cup
This bet allows you to decide on which team will win the entire tournament. The World Cup winner betting market can be extremely hard to predict, but it’s also very satisfying if you’re correct. Do you think Spain can recreate 2010 and become champions again? Place your bets and find out in July if you’re right!
Goalscorers
If you’re great at predicting which players are going to score goals in Spain’s games, then this is the market for you. Choose a match you’re interested in tuning into and bet on which players you think will grab a goal at any point throughout the game.
Under/over goals
The ‘under/over goals’ market allows bettors to predict if a team will achieve more goals than expected, or fewer. As an example, if the line for Spain is set at 1.5 goals, you’ll be able to bet if the game will have more or fewer goals than this number. Your prediction is for both teams so be sure to take this into account!
Accumulator
Also known as ‘acca’, the ‘accumulator’ market takes a range of different bets and blends them into one. In order for you to earn your winnings, you’ll need all the separate parts of your bet to succeed, making it one of the riskier markets on offer. Because of this, the payouts tend to be bigger, so if you’re willing to go forward with this bet, you can end up walking home with a large amount of money.
Can I bet on Spain football in-play?
Yes, you can! With Betway, you can bet on Spain matches of your choosing, even while the games are playing. Our in-play betting feature allows bettors to get involved in the game as they watch it live from the stands or on TV. You can respond to red cards, goals, injuries and many more, keeping the game feeling fresh and exciting. So, if the game has already started and you want to get involved or if the game isn’t going your way and you want to cash out, you can do both!
