Over the past decade football has become the number one sport for betting on. As online casinos and bookmakers have become more accessible due to the rise of the internet and smartphones, it’s now possible to place a bet on a football match from wherever you are in the world.
But, as football betting has become more and more popular, so has the choices of different bets you can now make on the matches. No longer can you only bet on which team will win or who will score, but now there are more obscure and sometimes bizarre bets you can place such as how many throw ins there might be in a match.
Let’s take a look at some of the types of bets you can place to help get you started.

Another advancement if football betting with the rise of smartphones has been in game betting. As we can now just pull out our smart phone from our pocket and make a bet instantly, there are now a lot more in game bets that can be made.
