\"FootballFor decades now, punters have been able to wager on how many goals they think will be scored in a football match.<\/p>\n

Both teams to score (yes or no), over\/under goal lines and team goals are just some of the options that punters can plunder if they believe they have a read on how a game can pan out.<\/p>\n

Those options have a finality to them; either both teams will score or they won\u2019t; either the 2.5 goal line will be exceeded or not. It\u2019s all or nothing.<\/p>\n

An interesting alternative goal market which is becoming more readily available is multi goals, which asks bettors to predict the range of goals that will be scored.<\/p>\n

If that sounds confusing, all will be revealed below.<\/p>\n

How Does Multi Goals Work?<\/h2>\n

The easiest way to explain multi goals betting is to first look at an example:<\/p>\n

\"Multi<\/p>\n

As you can see, the total number of goals available in a game are separated into different bands. For the most \u2018unlikely\u2019 of outcomes, such as 5-6 goals or 7 or more, the odds are juicy. For the more likely goal counts, such as 1-5 and 1-6, the prices are representative of just how probable the outcome is.<\/p>\n

The number of goals scored in a game cannot exceed your selection. So, if you wager on 2-5 multi goals, the match needs to contain at least two goals but no more than five \u2013 any tally between those two markers will secure a win for your bet.<\/p>\n

As you can see from the screenshot, you can increase or decrease your win probability by taking larger\/smaller bands of goals. Clearly, the 1-6 goal range will win for the vast majority of games \u2013 that\u2019s not opinion, it\u2019s actual fact. Of course, the shortness of the odds is reflective of that.<\/p>\n

Conversely, you can push your luck by taking a two-goal range such as 4-5 or 5-6. The odds offered are more appealing in these instances, although your win probability is smaller as a result of narrowing your focus.<\/p>\n

You can bet on multi goals picks as singles, doubles or accumulators, depending on your preferred strategy.<\/p>\n

Multi Goals vs Over\/Under<\/h2>\n

\"Multi<\/p>\n

You might be wondering why you\u2019d want to bet on the multi goals option when you could simply back the more common over\/under goal lines.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s refer back to the screenshot above. It\u2019s worth noting that Over 2.5 Goals was available at 4\/5 for this particular game, which is a market and price you might be happy with.<\/p>\n

But can we secure better odds for that train of thought? Let\u2019s dig a bit deeper and try and specify an exact number for how many goals might be scored \u2013 let\u2019s say three. Now let\u2019s look back at those multi goal odds and the options that suit:<\/p>\n
