WHAT IS CORRECT SCORE BETTING?

Correct Score Betting is simply predicting the exact final score of a match. Unlike more straightforward bets like Over/Under and Winning Margin, this bet demands that your prediction is 100% precise. For example in football betting, if you wager on the home team winning 3-1, then only that result will see you winning the bet. In rugby betting you may wager that the visiting team will win 27-20, and again only that precise scoreline will see you net a return.

Due to its precise nature, Correct Score Betting is more popular in lower-scoring sports, such as football, as these can be slightly easier to predict. However, Correct Score markets do exist in other sports, such as rugby and cricket. In these markets the biggest challenge lies in being precise in a match where so many points or runs can be scored – however the potential rewards make it an interesting bet for adventurous punters.

HOW CORRECT SCORE BETTING WORKS

Placing a Correct Score bet is straightforward once you have registered an account with Lottoland:

1. Choose a Match: Select the sport and game you want to bet on.
2. Select a Scoreline: Predict the exact final score (e.g., 1-0 in football or 25-20 in rugby).
3. Check the Odds: Odds for Correct Score bets are typically higher than for other markets, reflecting the difficulty of accurate predictions.
4. Place Your Bet: Enter your stake and confirm the wager.

For example, if you bet €10 on a football game ending 2-1 with odds of 10.0, you’d win €100 if your prediction is correct. For some matches variations may also be on offer, allowing you to bet on half-time scores or full-time scores separately.

PROS AND CONS OF CORRECT SCORE BETTING

As with all bets, Correct Score Betting has its benefits and drawbacks. Before you place your bet, you need to consider its pro’s and con’s to help you decide if this market is really for you. To help you decide, we have analysed some of the major positives and negatives of this bet to help you make an informed decision.

HIGH-RISK, HIGH REWARD

The main attraction of Correct Score Betting is the potential for high returns. However, please note the use of the word potential! Predicting the exact score of a match is not a straightforward task, and the difficulty in doing so is reflected in the higher odds. However, it is true that predicting the correct score offers appealing returns compared to other markets, such as Draw-No-Bet, and this makes it particularly appealing to punters who like to take calculated risks.

MORE THAN LUCK

An appealing aspect of the Correct Score Bet is that it is not purely based on luck. For those punters who enjoy analysing team performance, player form and the dynamics of match up, Correct Score Betting offers a market where they can apply their research to make an informed decision. In addition to this, the additional markets for predicting the correct score at half time and full time gives these punters another arena within which to apply their strategies.

SIGNIFICANT RISK

While Correct Score Betting has its advantages, predicting the exact scoreline remains one of the most difficult markets to bet on. This is due to the fact that even the smallest unexpected event can completely alter the outcome of a match. Perhaps VAR disallows a goal that seemed legitimate, or a star player gets injured in the warm-up. There is a level of uncertainty in sports that makes betting with certainty an extremely difficult task.

QUICK TO LOSE

If you are a punter who enjoys placing a bet to add an extra layer of intrigue when watching live sports, then you probably enjoy placing bets that are likely to last for the majority of the match. With an Over 1.5 Goals bet for example, you can feasibly expect to be invested in the outcome of the match almost until the very last minute. Correct Score Betting is different, and your bet could be lost within seconds! For example, imagine you have predicted the home team to win 3-0 – they are overwhelming favourites and your research indicates that they are unlikely to lose. Then they start the game slowly, and the visiting team score a goal in the second minute. Your bet is then lost, even if the home team go on to win the match!

SUCCESS RATE

Overall, Correct Score Betting is a market with a very low success rate. Even veteran punters, with enviable levels of knowledge about the sport, the teams and the players find it difficult to achieve consistent wins. In the more straightforward bets, such as Win/Draw/Win for example, the margin for error is much greater, as Correct Score Betting demands perfection. As a result, only punters who understand the risks of this market should consider placing such a challenging bet.
