La Liga Odds Legend
When you consult Odds Shark’s La Liga Odds page, it will help you make strategic picks. Although it may seem complicated to novice bettors, it’s actually very simple. The negative value sign signifies the team that is favored to win. The positive value sign signifies the team that is the underdog. To put it into perspective, let’s say Sevilla is the favorite at -105. Their opponent, Girona, is at +250, making them the underdog. Since there is a possibility that the match could end in a draw (also known as a tie), this will be marked underneath the matchup where it says Draw.
Moneyline
If you’re looking for a popular form of betting on La Liga, look no further than the moneyline. The moneyline is a simple bet that involves picking a winner. Find the match you want to bet on, pick the club you think will win and place your wager. For example, Real Sociedad is facing off against Real Betis and you select Real Betis to win. If they do win, you would win your moneyline wager. People love moneyline bets because they eliminate the uncertainty that accompanies totals and spread betting.
Total OVER/UNDER
OVER/UNDER or totals betting is a wager based on the total number of goals scored during a game. You have the ability to wager on either the OVER or UNDER based on the numbers set by sportsbooks. Let’s say the total for a matchup between Athletic Bilbao and Levante is set at 4.5. If you decide to place your wager on the OVER, it means that you need five or more combined goals to be scored for you to win your bet. If you decide to bet the UNDER, you need the total number of goals scored to be four or less in order to win.
Futures
Before the season starts or during, you can make what is known as a futures bet. This type of bet involves making a wager on which club will win the Copa del Rey final, which teams you think will make the playoffs, which teams will qualify for the UEFA Champions League and which clubs will be promoted from the Segunda División to the Primera. For instance, you can make a bet on whether or not Barça will win the final and if they do take it all, you win your futures wager. Take the time to check in with our La Liga Odds page as the season progresses to see how your chosen club or clubs are managing. Although futures bets can tie up your money for the season, the payout can be massive and well worth it.
