繁體中文How to Bet on the World Cup
The football World Cup combines group-stage matches with knockout rounds, which changes how some bets settle. This guide explains the main markets with hypothetical examples only.
- Each match offers standard football markets like 1X2, totals and handicaps, and you can also bet the outright winner and group-stage markets such as group winner or to qualify.
- The 1X2 market settles on 90 minutes even if a knockout game goes to extra time and penalties.
- Yes.
Match markets
Each game offers the standard football markets — 1X2, totals, handicap and BTTS — all covered in our football betting guide.
Outright winner & group bets
You can bet the tournament winner (outright) or group-stage markets like group winner and to qualify. Outright prices move throughout the tournament.
Knockout settlement
This is the key rule: in group games, 1X2 includes the draw and settles on 90 minutes. In knockout games, the 90-minute market still settles on 90 minutes even if the match goes to extra time and penalties — separate markets cover 'to qualify'.
Bet responsibly during the tournament
A month-long tournament can tempt frequent betting, so set limits and treat it as entertainment. See responsible gambling tools.
