Among the countless types of betting available on the market today, the throw-in bets in football hold a special place in the hearts of football betting enthusiasts. So let’s explore with SUPERPH what this type of bet has that attracts such a large number of players in the content below.
In betting, how is the throw-in bet understood?
In football, there are often situations where the ball is kicked out of the field, and in these cases, the linesman will observe and give the right to throw the ball to 1 of the 2 teams to bring the ball into the field to continue the match. The above action is called a throw-in, one of the widely applied rules of football.
Realizing that the betting needs of players do not stop at predicting the score or total number of goals, bookmakers decided to launch a betting form based on the number of throw-ins of the 2 teams. This type of bet is considered a side bet, similar to corner bets, card bets, or first-kick-off bets.
In short, players will predict the right to throw-in or the number of throw-ins that will take place in the match to make a betting decision. Usually, the betting time is calculated differently depending on the type of throw-in bet; it can take place in the first half, second half, or all 90 minutes of the match.
When placing a throw-in bet, players need to know the cases where the throw-in is determined to be valid:
- First: Throw-ins, whether wrong or re-thrown, are still counted
- Second: Only throw-ins within the official 90 minutes of play are counted as valid.
The most basic types of throw-in bets in football today
Similar to other forms of betting, throw-in bets are also offered by bookmakers with many different types of bets. Below are some forms of throw-in bets that have been compiled and sent to you.
Over/Under Throw-in Bets
Over/Under Throw-in Bets also have a similar form of play to the regular Over/Under bet. But instead of predicting whether the total number of goals scored by the two teams will be greater or less than the odds given by the bookie, in this bet, the player will predict the total number of throw-ins. Over/Under Throw-in Bets can be offered by bookies in the first half, second half, or the whole match.
Asian Throw-in Bets
Asian bets are always the type of bet with the largest number of players. That is why it is combined with throw-in bets to create diversity and attract players to participate in betting.
In the form of Asian bets, the bookie will give the handicap ratio of the number of throw-ins between the two teams. The bettor’s task is to predict whether team A or team B will have a higher number of throw-ins based on the handicap given by the bookmaker in the first half, second half, or the entire match.
First throw-in prediction bet
Another form of throw-in bet is the bet to predict which team will take the first throw-in. The right to throw-in belongs to which team that will be observed and designated by the linesman, depending on the situation.
Example of the most accurate way to calculate the throw-in bet
Below is the betting table of the bookmaker for the first throw-in bet in the 2022 World Cup, with the match between France and Morocco. Suppose you bet $100; the possible cases are:
France wins the first throw-in, the amount of profit that the player who bets on France receives = $100 x 0.88 = $88, while those who bet on Morocco will lose money.
Morocco wins the first throw-in, the amount of profit that the player who bets on Morocco receives = $100 x 0.96 = $96, while those who bet on France will lose money.
In the case that no throw-in is taken during the betting period, the player will consider it a draw and will return the bet to the bookmaker.
