1X2 Odds Betting Odds
| Newcastle (1) | X | Tottenham (2) |
| 7/9 | 14/5 | 16/5 |
In the 1X2 football betting market, you can choose between three possible outcomes:
- 1: Home win (Newcastle)
- X: Draw
- 2: Away win (Tottenham)
Let’s take a look at the Newcastle vs Tottenham betting odds in the 1X2 market: the odds for Newcastle’s win are 7/9, a draw is priced at 14/5, and Tottenham’s odds are 16/5
This means if you bet £9 on Newcastle and they win, you’ll earn £7 in profit plus your stake back. A successful £5 bet on a draw will return £14 in profit; and correctly predicting Tottenham’s win returns £16 for every £5.
So, how to decide which way to bet? First, look if the bet has short or long odds. If it returns a small profit, it is said to have “short” odds, whereas bets with huge potential profits have “long” odds. Short odds pay less but have a higher chance of hitting, whereas long odds have a lower chance of success. Next, consider both teams’ recent form and injuries. If any strikers are injured on matchday, it could tilt the odds.
Double Chance Odds
| Newcastle or Draw | Newcastle or Tottenham | Draw or Tottenham |
| 3/13 | 1/4 | 9/10 |
The Double Chance market allows you to cover two outcomes, which gives you a better chance of winning. Here’s how it works:
- Newcastle or Draw (1X): This bet has 3/13 odds and loses if the Spurs win.
- Newcastle or Tottenham (12): This is a match winner bet with 1/4 odds. It loses if the match draws.
- Draw or Tottenham (X2): The X2 bet is priced at 9/10. This bet loses if Newcastle wins.
The 1X2 market has 33% probability of a win (betting on one out of three outcomes), while Double Chance has 66% probability of a win (betting on 2 out of 3 outcomes). This makes it a low-risk market. However, the downside is that it pays lower. It is ideal for cautious bettors or if you are unsure which side to back.
Handicap Betting Odds
| Newcastle (-0.75) | Tottenham (+0.75) |
| 20/21 | 4/5 |
| Newcastle (-1.5) | Tottenham (+1.5) |
| 2/1 | 5/14 |
| Newcastle (+0.5) | Tottenham (-0.5) |
| 4/17 | 14/5 |
The default betting line for this market is fixed at -0.75 for Newcastle. This means 0.75 points will be subtracted from Newcastle’s total, and the same number of points will be awarded to Tottenham’s total. So, a score like 2–1 will be adjusted to 1.25–1.75, and bets on Tottenham win, even if they lose the match.
Bettors are free to pick any handicap between (+/-) 0.5 to (-/+) 1.75. This market gives an advantage to one team and a deficit to the other. It is helpful if you believe one team is clearly stronger than the other.
Here are a few examples of whether your bet loses or wins based on different handicaps:
- Newcastle (-1.5) / Tottenham (+1.5): With this handicap, bets on Tottenham win if they win, draw, or lose by two or fewer goals. Newcastle will need to win with at least a four-goal margin to overcome the gap. For example, a 4–0 score will be adjusted as 2.5–1.5, and bets on the Magpies win.
- Newcastle (+0.5) / Tottenham (-0.5): This is a small handicap where bets on Newcastle win in case of a draw.
Both Teams to Score (BTTS) Odds
| Yes | No |
| 5/7 | 11/10 |
Here, bettors have to consider only one aspect of the match: whether both teams will score or not. You can bet on one of these two outcomes:
- BTTS Yes: Both teams will score at least one goal. The Newcastle vs Tottenham odds for BTTS Yes are 5/7. This bet wins if the score is at least 1–1 or higher.
- BTTS No: This bet wins if either or both teams don’t score. A successful BTTS No bet will have a zero in the final score, like 1–0, 0–1, 0–0, 0–2, etc.
Consider each team’s clean sheets to decide your bet. A clean sheet is when the team’s defense is strong and the opposition team fails to score any goals. Both teams kept five clean sheets in their last 10 matches. Use this data to reduce your risk.
Goal Total (Over/Under) Odds
| Over 2.5 | Under 2.5 |
| 5/7 | 11/10 |
Predict whether the total goals scored on Wednesday will be over or under a fixed number. For this fixture, the betting line is set at 2.5 goals. So, if the final score looks like 2–2, the combined total becomes four, and Over 2.5 bets win. Similarly, if the final score is 1–0, the total becomes one, and Under 2.5 bets win.
Here’s how you can pick:
- Over 2.5 Goals: This bet wins if the final total is three or higher. Any score like 2–1, 2–2, or 3–0 wins.
- Under 2.5 Goals: Pick this market if you believe we’ll see a low-scoring match, where the combined total will be two or lower. Any score like 0–2, 0–0, 1–0, 1–1 wins.
Newcastle averaged 1.9 goals per match in its last 10 games, and Tottenham averaged 1.8. This brings their combined average goal total to 2.7, which is slightly above the 2.5 betting line. Use this data when considering the Newcastle vs Tottenham odds in the Over/Under market.
