Serie A Odds for Betting in New Zealand (matches)

About our Italian Serie A Odds: Match odds above, futures on another page

Above, our odds data feed is set to display the highest odds for the main 1X2 match result betting market for upcoming Serie A matches.  SNBET also provides Italian Serie A outright odds in case if you are interested in knowing the potential value-return for a bet on the next Scudetto winner. The match odds that you see above are the best of those that have been aggregated from several providers that serve New Zealand with NZD accounts, and don't force you into currency exchange, like those based in Australia.  As a result, these odds overall will look better than those at any individual betting provider. How so? 

Most reputable betting sites for New Zealand typically operate with a "sportsbook hold" or "odds margin" ranging from 4% to over 8% on major soccer leagues.  This indicates that based on the odds set at any one sportsbook for Serie A, the bookie will retain 4% to over 8% of all wagers placed on any single 1X2 betting market.

However, when we compute the implied odds margin or hold associated with the aggregated best odds that we display above, we often encounter margins of 2% or 3%. Occasionally, we even observe negative odds margins, implying that you could potentially secure a small profit by strategically placing your bets with the highest-paying providers for each of the three 1X2 outcomes. This strategy is sometimes referred to as a "sure bet," ensuring a profit regardless of the match result.

If your aim is simply to place a Serie A wager, having a single online sportsbook account will suffice. However, if you aspire to secure the best possible odds and maximise your potential winnings, it's advisable to have accounts with multiple operators and dedicate some time to Serie A odds comparison. 

1X2 Betting in Italian Serie A: Explained

1X2 betting is a popular betting market in the Italian Serie A, the premier professional football league in Italy. With 1X2 betting, you can forecast the outcome of matches between teams competing at the highest level of Italian football.

When you engage in 1X2 betting in Serie A, you have three distinct options to choose from for each match:

• "1" (Home Team Win): If you place a bet on the "1," you're predicting that the home team will secure a victory within the designated regular time (90 minutes plus injury time).
• "X" (Draw): If you bet on the "X," you anticipate that the match will conclude in a draw at the end of regular time.
• "2" (Away Team Win): If you wager on the "2," you're indicating that the away team will emerge triumphant within the regular time.

It's worth noting that odds for each outcome are determined by bookies, who consider various factors such as team form, past performances, player strengths, injuries, and other relevant information. However, bookmakers also have their own liabilities to manage, which can lead to slight variations in odds among different betting providers.

Betting sites aim to strike a balance by setting odds that attract bets on all possible outcomes while ensuring they can cover potential payouts and maintain a profit margin. They factor in market demand, expert analysis, market movement, and competitor odds when adjusting their own odds. Additionally, bookmakers adjust their odds to reflect probabilities and attract bets on less popular outcomes, thus managing their exposure.

As a bettor, you may find it beneficial to compare odds from different sportsbooks to identify the best value and potentially maximize your returns. Understanding how sportsbooks manage their liabilities can help you make informed decisions and capitalize on favorable odds when betting on Serie A matches.
