World Cup telecasts to be delayed?

 

 

 

The police have asked Khun Thaksin to order all telecasts of Worls Cup soccer games to be delayed by 30 mins.

 

Reason: to counter gambling. [unquote]

I guess the internet cafes will expect to do a roaring trade then with punters placing their bets with the online bookies ..

Betting soccer rarely involves a "point spread" unless you are looking at a lopsided match in which you might lay one or two goals. What usually happens is you must lay more money on the favorite. Say for example Germany is playing Japan. Germany is the favorite so you lay $180 to win $100. If you want Japan you would lay $100 to win $160. The more uneven the matchup, the more money you have to lay on the favorite or the higher the payback on the underdog. This is called a money-line bet instead of the point spread bet you are familiar with.

"What are the usual "Soccer" bets? "

 

 

 

DB,

 

 

 

Amongst the more common bets are:

 

 

 

First Scorer

 

Correct Score At 90mins

 

Double Result (Half Time and Full Time Forecast)

 

Match Forecasts (Home, Away or Draw) can be made as single selections or mutliples - doubles, trebles fourfolds etc.

 

 

 

There are also various "spread" bets available.

 

Total number of red and yellow cards

 

Total number of corner kicks

 

Total of the shirt numbers of the goal scorers

 

 

 

Betting on this is done by predicting higher or lower than the bookies spread, it can be either very profitable or mighty costly.

 

 

 

There is usually only 1 winner tho' and it isn't the punter.

 

 

 

 

 

Cheers
