What are future bets?

 

For those who are not used to the world of betting, it may all be summed up in guessing which team or player will win an event, but the truth is that sports betting goes much further and we can find numerous markets, some of them focused on obtaining long-term earnings.

 

That is where Future Bets come into play, to which we are going to dedicate this article. We are talking about a type of bets in which the investment can remain in the air for weeks or even months and, in many cases, you can bet on them before the event begins or once it has started, always depending on your preferences.

 

Future Bets are one of the most fun markets in the betting world. It doesn't matter what your favorite sports discipline or your favorite competitions are; all of them will be within the Future Bets, and depending on the importance of the event, you will be able to find it months before its start so that you can start betting.

 

For example, the Future Bets for the Copa América 2021 or Euro 2021 are already open, and even those for the World Cup in Qatar 2022.

 

Of course, this also carries over to other sports, so you can bet on the NBA, NFL, Tour de France, Wimbledon or any other competition before it starts or during its dispute, although it is clear that the odds will vary as that its conclusion is approaching, so you must choose very well the moment in which you are going to make your investment.

 

How to place Future Bets?

 

Within the Future Bets you will find different markets focused on the champion, top scorer or MVP, among others. Whichever option you are going to choose, betting on Future Bets is very simple, but it is best that you see a practical example so that you understand how it works.

 

America's Cup Winner	Dues
Argentina	+175
Brasil	+225
Colombia	+450
Uruguay	+800

 

For this example we have collected the four favorites to win the Copa América 2021, in which Argentina starts as a great favorite ahead of Brazil, Colombia and Uruguay.

 

If you bet on the Albiceleste, you should know that you will win $ 27.50 for a bet of $ 10, figures that will increase if your forecast goes to another selection.

 

You must bear in mind that Future Bets usually offer more than acceptable winnings in competitions in which there are several favorites, while the payouts will be lower if there is a team that stands out a lot above the rest, as may be the case of PSG in the League 1.

 

Another concept that you should keep in mind is that, if you are going to bet once the competition has started, the results that are given will affect the odds. For example, if Argentina loses the first match of the Copa América 2021, its quota will increase, but if its start ends with a win by win, that quota will drop exponentially, so you must be very careful when choosing the moment when that you are going to fill out your ticket.

 

In case you prefer to focus on the individual performance of the main stars of each tournament, you would also find examples like the following:

 

MVP de la NBA	Cuotas
LeBron James	+300
Giannis Antetokounmpo	+450
Kawhi Leonard	+500
James Harden	+600
Luka Doncic	+1200
Anthony Davis	+1200
Damian Lillard	+2500
Nikola Jokic	+2500

 

This would be an example of Future Bets focused on individual performance, in which LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo would be the favorites to win the 2019/2020 NBA MVP.

 

As you can see, the odds are high due to the great options they have to win this award, and is that the lowest odds of all of them, +300 for LeBron James, would leave earnings of $ 40 for a bet of $ 10.

 

If you want to know the volume of profit you would get from your bets, we remind you that you can make use of our Odds Calculator, in which you only have to enter the quota and the planned investment to know how much money you would win for your bet.

 

Tips for Future Bets

 

Betting on a competition that has not yet started makes it more difficult to get it right, but it also helps when studying the options of the participants.

 

It is always convenient to know what role each team or player played in previous editions of that competition, or who has signed in other official tournaments that have occurred between them.

 

Of course, the changes in the squads are also very relevant, as could be seen two years ago with the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid, which caused the Merengues to go from being the favorites to win the Champions League to leaving the top3 of favorites.

 

In case you have doubts, we recommend that you wait for the start of the competition and see how the teams in which you have set your sights perform, although that may lead to the aforementioned change in the quotas.

 

Markets available in Future Bets

 

As you can see, two of the markets available in Future Bets are dedicated to the champion of a competition and the Most Valued Player, but they are not the only ones that you will find within Future Bets.

 

If soccer is your thing, you will be able to bet on the teams that will be relegated or that will qualify for international competitions in the case of the leagues of each country, as well as their top scorers.

 

If your focus is on tournaments such as the World Cup, Eurocup, Copa Libertadores or Champions League, you can seek your luck with the teams that will advance to the knockout rounds or their position in the group stage.

 

Other competitions such as the NBA or the NFL invite you to bet on their respective Drafts, with markets such as the one directed to the player who will be chosen in first position or the first choice of a specific team.

 

To close this round of available markets, we also remember that in contact sports, such as boxing or MMA, you can bet on the possibility of an event being held. In his day there were already bets with the fight between Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather, something that happens today with the possibility of seeing Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield in the ring again.
