Popular Bets on the Campeonato Brasileiro Serie C

Outright Wager

Outright bets are on things that will not be resolved until the end of the season. One of the most popular bets is a bet on which teams will qualify for the second-tier Campeonato Brasileiro Serie B. A bet can be placed on which four teams will be victorious after the knockout stage.

For example, you could bet that Mirassol, ABC, Remo-PA, and Figueirense will make it into the higher league. The bets can be placed before the league begins or at any time within the season at varying odds. You can also place a bet on which team will win the league.

Match Result Wager

A bet can also be placed on what the result will be at the end of a match. This is the most common bet as you just have to predict which team will win the match or if it will end in a draw.

For example, with a match between Botafogo PB and Aparecidense, you could bet on Botafogo to win, Aparecidense to win, or a draw. A match result bet applies to the 90 minutes of regular playtime.

Double Chance Wager

A double chance bet covers two of the three possible outcomes from a match. For example, if Brasil were playing Campinense, you could bet on Campinense to win or a draw, Brasil to win or a draw, or on Campinense or Brasil to win.

Total Goals Wager

A total goals bet requires you to predict the total number of goals scored by both teams in a match. The market provides a betting line and you bet whether you think there will be under or over that number of goals scored. For example, if Altos and Manaus were playing and the betting line was 2.5, you would bet over if you think there will be at least 3 goals in the match and under if you think there will be 2 goals or less.

Goal Handicap Wager

A handicap bet is designed to make betting on the favorites more attractive. It assigns them a goal disadvantage and this results in longer odds. For example, if ABC were playing Remo-PA, you could place a bet on ABC to win with a handicap of -1.5 then the team must win by a margin of at least 2 goals for the bet to win. It is also possible to assign positive handicaps, which give a team an advantage. In this instance, the odds will shorten as the team will have a better chance of winning.

Player & Game Props Wager

For times when you don't want to bet on match results, you can place player and game props bet. They allow you to bet on all kinds of events in a game or even the league such as corners, free kicks and fouls.

For example, you could bet that Camilo of Mirassol will be the league’s top goal-scorer or man of the match for a particular game. You can bet on the number of substitutions a game will have, and far more.

Draw no Bet

A draw no bet is a play that eliminates the possibility of a draw in a match. You simply need to pick a team and if the match does end in a draw, then your bet is refunded.

Live Bets

Live betting is the placing of bets while a match is being played. The odds will change to reflect what is happening on the pitch. You can find most of the bets described above and you can also bet on the next thing to happen in a game, such as the next player to score.
