Passage in soccer betting
Passing is found in domestic national or international cups from the playoff stage, when clubs or national teams are playing for relegation.
We will look at a cup match in Croatia between clubs Varaždin and Cibalija Vinkovci. The hosts are favorites, and bookmaker pari match estimates their success at 1.43. A possible victory of the guests is estimated at odds of 10, and a draw at 3.75. The confrontation is one-match, so the winner will be known by the end of the meeting. The odds above refer only to the main time plus the compensatory time. In the case of a draw after 90 added minutes, the teams will play two additional halves of 15. If even in this case, the winner will not be determined, there will be a penalty shootout. Here comes the betting on the favorite's "passing", which is estimated by BC at 1.22 (while its victory in 90 minutes is 1.43) and on the underdog - 4.1 (victory in regulation time -10).
This is a bet to find the winner, which can be played in extra time, overtime or after a penalty shootout. The small odds are due to safety, the favorite may not be able to beat a weak team for 90 minutes, but in the end come out the winner in the confrontation.
Passing is similar to a zero handicap with the difference that a handicap draw results in a return. A handicap is safer, because if it comes to a penalty shootout, the outcome is unexpected. The main disadvantage is the value of the odds compared to winning in regulation time. This is the price the bettor pays for an increased percentage of winning bets.
If the bettor doubts that conditional "Tottenham" will win in 90 minutes in a cup match against conditional "Everton", but is confident in the passage of the first team to the next stage, the choice will insure the bet. Every bookmaker includes such an outcome in the line and accepts bets before the match and during the game.
This type of betting fits under express, system or single betting types. Passing is available in pre-match and live events where the game is for elimination or relegation - cup tournaments or playoff stages. Minus - low odds, but thanks to this, the player is insured against a possible draw in regulation time. In some bookmakers' offices, the bet is called "winner of the match". In betting on significant amounts the pass is a useful choice.
