If you’re a video game fan, you probably know what FIFA is, seeing as it’s one of the oldest game franchises globally. Even so, it has not lost its shine and continues to be one of the most popular of its kind. To date, there are at least 240 million FIFA players in the world. So, you can already tell that the competition for the top position is stiff, which makes betting on this game even more exciting. To help you get started on FIFA betting, we will break down what the game entails and the most common bets in its tournaments. We also get into the best tips to follow for newbies and experienced punters in the game. Here goes:
Understanding FIFA
FIFA is a soccer simulation video game with 35 editions to its name. Every year, it releases a new version that has its fans rushing to stores to secure the latest release. Is the release important in your betting strategy? It sure is! The version affects the standard, which also affects the betting system.
So, what’s the standard gameplay for this video game? It’s like real-life football, only that you get to control all the players on your team. As the player, you control everyone from the goalkeeper to the midfielder using your joypad or keyboard. Strong players master the art of offence and defence and capitalize on their skills and tactics to win. The best thing about FIFA betting is that you can gauge how well a player handles a team. It’s much easier than gauging the abilities of each player in the field.
Types of Betting Markets
Once you understand how the gameplay works, you can now consider the best types of bets to place on FIFA games. They include:
- Total Goals: In these bets, you gauge how many goals you think both teams will score in total. Rather than guess the exact number, you use a reference point, e.g., 6.5 goals. Thus, you can bet over 6.5, indicating that you think the teams will score more than 6.5 goals. Or you can choose under 6.5, showing that the teams will score fewer than 6.5 goals.
- Match Bets: How about deciding the outcome of a match? You choose a team and decide the possible outcome, to which the bookie assigns odds. The options include win, draw, and lose.
- Handicaps: Another easy way to capitalize on match outcomes is by using handicaps which create an imaginary weight on the final score. For example, a team with a -2.5 goal handicap must win by three or more goals for you to win the wager.
- Half-time bets: FIFA matches are often short (15 to 40 minutes on average). Even so, you can choose to cash out earlier by choosing the match outcome by half-time.
- Tournament bets: Who do you think will win the world cup? You can put your money on your preferred team and see what comes of it.
These are the most popular bets that work great for beginners. Once you get the hang of FIFA, you can move on to more complicated bets whose combinations can afford you better odds.
Tips To Successful Wagers
You may wonder why some people seem to be right on the money on almost all their bets. That’s because they invest their time in understanding the gameplay and employ winning strategies. These include:
- Playing FIFA: You have a much better chance of hacking wagering if you understand what’s happening in the game. People who have played the game can tell whether a player is good at it or struggling with the controls.
- Watching the game: If playing is not for you, how about watching a couple of matches to see how they play out? You can stream the action live, or you can catch the repeats on YouTube and other channels.
- Researching the game: There are tons of sites where you can get insightful resources on the game. Use these to sharpen your knowledge of the game. Also, look up individual player stats to get a feel of how well they perform on the field.
- Capping your wagers: If you want to succeed at wagering, you must limit how much you spend on games. The number one rule is that you cannot wager money you cannot afford to lose. So, your savings and investments are not the right sources of wagering money. Think more in line with your extra lunch money and tips from work.
- Taking a break: Normalize walking away from the game once you are on a losing trend or exhausted your bankroll. There’s always another chance to wager, which could be tomorrow, next week, or even next year. There’s no hurry to lose your hard-earned cash by chasing losses.
