There are various ways for the bettor to wager on soccer. The most common of the various types of wagers are "Single Bets". This is the most basic of all bets.

Example:
Liverpool -350
Manchester United +300
Tie +300

Only one of the three bets is a winner. There are no pushes.

· · If you bet Liverpool you would lay $350 to win $100.
· · If Liverpool wins the game you would win $100.
· · If Liverpool loses the game you would lose $350.
· · If Liverpool ties M. United then you would lose $350.
· · If you bet M. United you would lay $100 to win $300.
· · If M. United wins the game you win $300.
· · If M. United loses the game you lose $100.
· · If M. United ties Liverpool you lose $100.
· · If you bet the TIE you would lay $100 to win $300.
· · If Liverpool wins you lose $100.
· · If M. United wins you lose $100.
· · If the game ties you win $300.

The bettor wagers on the outcome of a game in the 90 minutes allotted for regulation time (1st and 2nd half). The bettor can choose whether the game will end in a Home Win, an Away Win, or a Draw (tie).

Extra time does not count in this case. In many cup matches, when goals are scored in extra time, they are not included for wagering purposes.

Separate odds are often given for teams to go through the second round, either through winning in extra time, by penalties or by the "Golden Goal". These kinds of bets are usually termed "Outright Winner" bets as opposed to "Within 90 Minutes Winner" bets.
