Betting on football is as old as the game itself and remains a staple for any sports betting site. Football betting has become widespread in Ireland and beyond due to the numerous betting markets available. This guide covers all you need to know about football betting odds, the betting markets available, and the sport’s biggest competitions you can wager on. We also provide some betting tips to help you make the most of your bets.
Betiton Ireland Football Betting Odds
At Betiton, we update the latest football betting odds regularly as the game nears kick-off, half-time, or full-time.
Odds also indicate the implied probability of a particular outcome occurring. This is important because it helps you easily determine value bets. When using decimal odds, you can calculate implied probability as follows:
(1/decimal odds) * 100 = implied probability
Let’s say you back Manchester United to beat Crystal Palace at odds of 1.53. In this case, you’ll divide one by 1.53 and multiply the subsequent value by 100, revealing a 65.35% probability of your chosen outcome occurring.
Here are the three main odds formats at Betiton Ireland.
- Fractional Odds
Fractional odds are a traditional odds format and are widely used in the UK and among the region’s best football betting sites. Fractional odds feature two numbers separated by a slash. These digits indicate how much you can expect to get relative to your stake. For example, if you stake €10 at odds of 5/1, you’ll get €60, including your initial stake.
- Decimal Odds
At Betiton, decimal odds are predominantly used on football betting slips to provide clear potential payouts. This odds format details the exact return you’ll get for every €1 wagered, indicating your total potential pay-out inclusive of the stake. So, if you bet €10 at odds of 5.00, for example, you can earn a total of €50 with winnings of €40.
- American Odds
American odds combine numerical values with either a minus or plus sign, indicating which team is the favourite and which is the underdog. If a side is priced with a minus sign, the accompanying number stipulates how much you’ll have to stake to win €100. Conversely, if you back a team with a plus sign to prevail, the number will tell you how much you’ll get for every €100 staked. So, if you back Manchester United to beat Crystal Palace at odds of -150, you’ll need to stake €150 to bank a return of €100.

Online Football Betting Explained by Betiton Ireland
Football betting involves placing wagers on the outcome of a game or specific events within the game. The types of bets you can place in football are as broad as the game itself. For example, you can bet on the winner of a game, the number of goals scored, and the number of cards the referee will dish out.
