Online football betting in sports bookmakers

Many fans are interested in placing bets on their favourite club’s matches. Others prefer to predict that their rival will lose or are interested in betting on who will be the champion of European leagues, such as the Champions League or the Premier League.

This is natural. After all, football is the most watched sport in the world and the one that receives the highest volume of betting on the planet, according to Last Word on Sport.

In times of pandemic, sport has been a great companion

During the height of Covid-19 in the country, esports stole the scene, with live internet broadcasts of international matches of the most diverse games, such as Counter-Strike and League of Legends.

But with the return of traditional sports in Europe and America, football has returned to its prominent place. And with the legalisation of online sports betting approaching, online betting is becoming more and more fashionable.

There are two ways of betting on football matches these days. Both are within the law and have the convenience of being online, avoiding going to lottery houses, for example. The two ways are:

• On the Caixa Econômica Federal website, with the Loteca game;
• See below a quick step by step guide to make your guesses in both ways.

Betting on football in bookmakers

Betting on football in online sportsbooks is a little more complex, but has fewer restrictions than Loteca. 

First because today there are more than 500 sites of this kind, including some giants of this market, such as Betano, which arrived in the country in 2020 after being a success in Europe.

After choosing a reliable site, it is necessary to create an account and make a first deposit in cash to be able to bet. From that moment on, there are thousands of football matches available to bet on.

Virtually all of these sites offer betting on championships, as well as all the major leagues in Europe, the World Cup and friendly matches.

What makes them different is that they are not limited to betting on the results of the games. You can bet on how many corners a match will take or if a player will be sent off, for example. And you can, of course, bet on the future champion of a tournament.

If you choose this alternative, make sure you choose a large and trustworthy site. A good way to check this is to look at the licence the bookmakers have to operate. The two main licences are from the UK and Malta. Few are the betting companies that have both, as is the case with BetWay.

Other factors that the bettor must take into consideration for a good experience is if the bookmaker

• has a website;
• offers customer support;
• has good online reviews from other users.
