Soccer Betting Online
Soccer betting has continued to be one of the most popular forms of sports gambling over the past decade. In fact, soccer has never been more popular at sportsbooks than it is now, with the highest-ever betting handles being reported for the previous year.
Once upon a time, soccer was strictly a European or South American affair, with little attention paid to it beyond the World Cup every four years. But those days have long since passed. Satellite technology, streaming, online gambling, and the worldwide spread of live sports content have been a boon for the sport.
Now, gamblers can wager on soccer all year with several different major professional leagues to choose from in addition to international competitions. Gamblers can bet on spreads, moneylines, halves, props, futures, and in-game, to name the most popular options.
