This week, we continue from where we stopped in our last betting class by looking at football betting and how you can either just start making money from it or start making more money than before from betting on football games.
While a sports betting platform like NairaBET offers countless sports to bet on, most folks choose to bet on football games because of its popularity or their understanding of the game or because of their favorite sports team. At the end of the day, most people, especially those new to betting, end up losing their hard-earned money.
Whether you’re already in this category or not, here’s what you need to make money from your football betting investment:
-
Do not ignore the stats
If you’ve ignored looking through stats and numbers while betting on football games, you may want to change your mind. Yes, in football, anything can happen but then again the statistics help you to maneuver your way through and saves you the pain of losing money every time.
Making guesses will never help you to make the money you want from football betting. Before you select your next football game to bet on, take a look at the stats, history, expert opinions, etc. Compare records and then make your decisions based on those comparisons.

Understand the available markets
There are over 100 ways to make money from a football game, no thanks to the number of betting markets available for each game. Not only can you predict the winner of a game, you can also handicap a side, predict the number of goals, select which half to focus your bet on and do much more.
With this understanding, you don’t necessarily have to bet on one market every time. Let what market you will bet on depend, to a large extent, on what the stats suggest you should bet on.

Understand the inter-relatedness of each market
This alone can make you all the money you ever want to make in your life, if it is well understood. Every betting market available for a football game is, one way or the other, dependent on another market.
Let’s take for example the upcoming World Cup game between England and Belgium. As at the time of writing this piece, Belgium is priced at 2.50 to win the game, while England to win is priced at 2.80. If you’re backing Belgium to win this game but don’t want to risk putting your money on such high odds, there are other markets which are related to the “Belgium to Win” betting option like:
- Belgium to Score
- Belgium to Score First Goal
- Belgium Win or Draw
- Belgium No Bet
- Belgium to Win Either Half
That’s five betting markets that are direct offshoots from the “Belgium to Win” betting option. Thinking of betting this way will help you to not only understand the game better but will also put more money in your pocket.

I need it
There are forward passes that take opposing players out of the game and those that don”t this is why the current fascination with “stats is almost complete shtie. Stats tell one version of the story only. In my opinion stats are used as a substitute for general knowledge about the game gleaned from playing, reffing, managing and coaching. A short cut that doesn”t really work.
Wow…impressive comment there!
