Popular Campeonato Brasileiro Serie B Bets

Outright Bets

In the Campeonato Brasileiro Serie B, an outright bet is a bet for the winner of the league title. An outright bet is won when you have correctly predicted the winner of the league for the season. The winning bet results are released at the end of the season.

An outright bet can be something like predicting that Ponte Preta will be the league winner. The bet can be placed before the league begins or at any time within the season.

Match Result Bet

A bet can also be made on what the final result of a match will be. This is the most common bet as bettors will have to predict whether a match will end in a win, and for what team, or a draw.

Take for example a match between Bahia and Vasco da Gama, a match result bet would say Bahia will come out with a win, or Vasco da Gama will be victorious, or the match will be a draw. A match result bet applies to the 90 minutes of regular playtime.

Double Chance Bet

A double chance bet is a less risky bet to place on the result of a match. A bet is made on a team to either win or end the match in a draw. The bet is only lost if the team loses. For example, in a game between Londrina and Cruzeiro you can bet on Londrina to win or a draw, Cruzeiro to win a draw, or Londrina or Cruzeiro to win.

Total Goals Bet

A total goals bet can be hugely rewarding. It requires you to predict whether the total number of goals scored in a match will be below or above a certain number. The number can be a whole number or a fraction to avoid the possibility of a draw.

What this means is that if a total goal bet of over 2.5 is placed on a match between Brusque and Guarani, the total number of goals scored in the game must be at least 3 for the bet to win.

Goal Handicap Bet

A handicap bet gives the favorite team a goal disadvantage in order to lengthen the odds, for example -1.5. If, for example, CSA were playing CRB and you placed a bet on CSA to win with a handicap of -1.5, then they would have to win by at least two goals for the bet to win. The opposite is also possible, if you were to bet on CRB to win with a handicap of +1.5, the bet would win if the team wins the game or loses by no more than 1 goal.

Player & Game Props Bet

For times when you don't want to bet on match results, you can place player and game props bet. They are often very interesting as you can bet on the possibility of all manner of events occurring such as corners, free kicks, or foul infringements.

A bet of this type can be predicting that Gabriel Poveda of Sampaio Correa will become the top goal-scorer of the league or man of the match for a particular match. You can also bet on the number of substitutions a game will have, and far more.

Draw no Bet

A draw no bet is a bet on a winner and removes the risk of losing your money in the event of a draw. For example, if Vila Nova were playing Ituano, you simply pick a team to bet on and if they win, then you win the bet. If the game ends in a draw, then you receive your money back.

Live Bets

Live betting is the placing of bets while a match is being played. These bets are informed by the live performance of the teams so the odds will change depending on what is happening. You can use the bets explained above and also place bets such as next player or team to score.
