Welcome to our guide to the correct score bet. We\u2019re going to show you exactly how this type of wager works, so you can confidently place one yourself. We\u2019ve even included some correct score tips, that will help you to make consistent profits with this market.<\/p>\n

What is Correct Score in Football?<\/h2>\n

Correct score is one of the most popular betting markets on football betting sites<\/a> around today. Click on any match and you\u2019ll find that these types of bets are generally one of the first options that you\u2019ll see, positioned quite high amongst the list of the different markets.<\/p>\n

You are betting on the exact score in a football match. This is obviously more difficult than merely predicting the result and this is reflected by bigger odds. It can be a hard bet to win, but when you do, you\u2019ll be well rewarded. Later on, we\u2019re going to give you a few exact score tips that will help you to land this lucrative wager on a regular basis.<\/p>\n

How Does Correct Score Betting Work?<\/h2>\n

Now we\u2019re going to give you an example of how this type of bet works. Our example will show you a scenario where it can make more sense to bet on a correct score, than to choose other bet types<\/a> available to punters.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s say that Manchester United are playing Tottenham. You think that it will be a score draw. A \u00a320 bet on the draw at odds of 29\/10 in the match result\/1×2 market<\/a>, will give you a return of \u00a378. The profit will be \u00a358.<\/p>\n

Yet if you strongly believe that this will be a score draw, you could back the draw and both teams to score<\/a> at bigger odds of 16\/5. This removes the option of a 0-0 draw and a \u00a320 bet would give a return of \u00a384, with profits of \u00a364.<\/p>\n

Perhaps though, you think it will be a score draw, but believe that it is unlikely that it will be 3-3 or 4-4. You can take a gamble on it being either 1-1 or 2-2.<\/p>\n

\"Correct<\/p>\n

You place a \u00a310 bet on the exact scoreline of 1-1 at betting odds<\/a> of 13\/2 and another \u00a310 bet on it being 2-2 at 9\/1.<\/p>\n

If the match ended 1-1, you would see a total return of \u00a375, of which \u00a365 would be profit. Your bet on 2-2 would be a loser though, so you would lose that \u00a310 stake, which brings your profit down to \u00a355. A little smaller than if you had bet on the draw or draw and both teams to score, but not by too much.<\/p>\n

Yet if the game finishes 2-2, you will land a return of \u00a3100, of which \u00a390 will be profit. Your 1-1 bet will be a loser, so you\u2019d lose that \u00a310 stake, leaving your profits at \u00a380. That is more than you would have won with the alternative markets, while still having had a useful cover bet for a 1-1 scoreline.<\/p>\n

With correct score odds being big, it\u2019s a great choice for either a one-off fun bet, or when you feel that the score is likely to be one of two or three options, as we have described with our example.<\/p>\n
