Italy Serie A Odds Legend
Making strategic picks may seem like a daunting task, but if you check out Odds Shark’s Lega Serie A Odds page, you have enough data at your fingertips to place an educated wager. Let’s break it down: The negative value sign shows the club that is favored to win. The positive value sign shows the team that is the underdog. For instance, if Internazionale is listed at -105, they are the favorite. If the challenger, Sampdoria, is listed at +250, then they are the underdog. Occasionally, football matches end in draws (sometimes called a tie); this is represented by the third line underneath the matchup (Draw).
Moneyline
When it comes to making Italy Serie A bets, the moneyline has become a very popular wagering option. The moneyline bet requires the bettor to simply pick a winner. All you have to do is select a matchup and bet on who you think is going to win the game. If Torino is playing Fiorentina and you bet on Torino and they win, you win your bet. Moneyline wagers are the preferred betting method for many Lega Serie A fans because they reduce the unpredictability that comes with totals and spread betting.
Total OVER/UNDER
Totals betting, or OVER/UNDER, is a bet that is based on the total number of goals scored during a game. The sportsbooks set the totals prior to the match and you have the choice of placing an OVER or UNDER wager based on those totals. Here’s how it works: The total for a matchup between Roma and Chievo is set at 4.5. You decide to bet the OVER. That means that you need five or more goals to be scored for you to win your bet. But, if you bet the UNDER, you need the total number of goals scored to be four or less.
Futures
Futures bets are wagers made in anticipation of a big matchup, the playoffs and championships. Bettors can make wagers on which club will win the Coppa Campioni d’Italia, and which clubs will be European Cup finalists. A futures bet you could make would be wagering on whether or not AC Milan will win the championship. If they do win, you would win your futures bet. Check in with our Odds page throughout the season to see the club (or clubs) you’ve bet on are doing. Futures, although they could tie up your money for most or part of the season, can result in serious payouts in the long term.
