Straight Win Football Predictions

This is a very easy to understand betting strategy which simply implies that a team must emerge as the winner at the end of a football match. The scoreline is irrelevant in this regard because the game, within 90 minutes (injury time included), must be won by one of the teams playing. It is usually the go to market when there is a very strong team playing against a relatively weak opponent and you are about 95% sure that the game will not end in defeat or a stalemate.

For example, in a Liverpool Vs Sheffield Premier League match, a straight win prediction might come in handy simply because we naturally expect Liverpool, playing at Anfield, to get all 3 points against Sheffield United. Also, because of home advantage, head to head stats and so on, the odds will be in favour of Liverpool. So, if the odds look something like this;

Liverpool Win:1.20

Sheffield Win: 8.20

You can go for the Straight Win bet and back Liverpool to get all three points. If you stake 1,000 on the 1.20 odds, you will be winning a total of 1,120 at the end of the match. As good as this sounds, it is also a very risky betting option. This is because even if Liverpool goes ahead in the first half of the match, Sheffield can bring the game back on level terms and end the game in a draw. If that happens, you have lost your bet.
