Before going any further in this piece, it’s best to know that this piece is about football (soccer) as you would see in the rest of the article, not American football.
With that mentioned, how many bet options do you think a football game has? Even for the regular bettors, this can be hard to answer and here’s the reason why: Most times, the everyday bettor has programmed his or her mind to play in “specific” betting markets.
This means they “automatically” overlook every other kind of market available for that specific game. At other times, it’s because the bettor does not know the meaning of the available markets and what’s in for him if he plays in it.
So, the essence of this article is to not only show you the different markets available to you the bettor in the world of football but also help you to “spice up” your betting game. This takes us back to the question asked earlier:
How many bet options does a typical football game have?
Depending on the football game in question, there are usually between 100 and 190+ markets made available to users of the NairaBET sports betting platform for each football game. These markets are divided into:
-
Main
This is first list you will see if you’re visiting the website using the computer version. Users of the mobile platform need not worry about this. Just take note of the names of the market. Categorized into the main, we have:
- 1 X 2: The option to select either a home win, draw or away win.

Whether you’re looking to place your wager on Over 3.5 goals (that is, there’ll be at least 4 goals in the match) or on Under 2.5 goals (less than 3 goals total), for example, this is the section for you.
There definitely are other options: Over 0.5, 1.5, 2.5, and Under 0.5, 1.5, 2.5, and so on.
-
Home/Away
