You will find both core and advanced markets for every match.

Main markets

• Match Result (1X2): Home win, draw, or away win.
• Double Chance: Cover two outcomes, such as 1X or X2.
• Totals: Over/Under goals, plus corners and cards totals where offered.
• Both Teams To Score: Yes or No.
• Handicaps: Asian lines (including +0, +0.25, +0.5) and European handicaps.

Specials and deeper options

• Correct Score: Predict the exact final score.
• First or Last Goal: Pick which team scores first or last.
• Goal Scorers: Anytime, first, or last scorer, sometimes by shots on target.
• Half‑Time/Full‑Time: Combine the result at the break and at full time.
• Draw No Bet: Your stake returns on a draw.

Combined markets

• Win + Both Teams To Score, Win + Over 2.5, or multi‑selections via Bet Builder where available.

Bet formats

• Singles for one pick, Accumulators for higher potential returns, Systems for partial cover. Review rules for extra time and penalty shootouts before placing bets. Melbet Football shows settlement rules on each market.

• Study recent form: Look at the last 5 to 10 matches. Check goals for/against, expected goals where available, and whether results came at home or away.
• Team news matters: Verify injuries, suspensions, and late fitness tests. A missing full‑back can change corners and cards markets.
• Coaching tactics: Understand formations and playing style. High‑press teams can create more shots and fouls.
• Head‑to‑head: Use H2H results as context, not as a sole predictor. Focus on the most recent meetings under the current coach.
• External factors: Weather, travel, pitch type, altitude, and kickoff time can affect pace and goal totals.
• Motivation: Consider title races, relegation fights, or rotation before cup ties. End‑season matches can be unpredictable.
• Market selection: Choose markets that match your read. If you like a tight game, look at Under goals or Draw No Bet.
• Live discipline: Set rules for in‑play stakes. Avoid chasing if a team concedes early.
• Bankroll plan: Define a monthly budget. Stake a small, fixed percentage per bet. Keep records to review ROI.
• Odds shopping: Compare prices across outcomes on the event page. Small differences in odds compound over time.
• Responsible play: Set deposit limits and take breaks. Gambling carries risk. 18+ only.
