European-based divisions have long dominated the world of professional soccer, and the German Bundesliga is perhaps the second-most competitive on earth, next to the EPL. The Bundesliga play-off often grabs the attention of bettors worldwide, which is common with many of the high-level matches that are played throughout the year.
The Bundesliga is Germany’s primary professional soccer association and was founded in 1963. Bayern Munich is the most accomplished club and the current Bundesliga champion, winning 31 of the 59 titles since the football league’s inception.
Outside of the mighty Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Hamburger SV, Werder Bremen, Borussia Monchengladbach, and VfB Stuttgart have won the title and are among the most prominent teams in German soccer.
For an avid soccer expert, the Bundesliga betting markets have been a huge draw, particularly for the goal-scoring props. We often witness a significantly high number of goals scored in German domestic fixtures.
When using American odds, the most commonly displayed form of German soccer, you’ll notice that the teams you’re betting on will be aligned with a (+) or (-) symbol. The plus symbol represents the underdog, while the minus symbol indicates the favorite. For example, a wager at -110 odds means a bettor must stake $110 to win $100. Oppositely, a bet placed a +110 odds means that a $100 stake would return $115.
The favorite/underdog terminology isn’t restricted to picking which football club will win a game. The same is applied to totals or Bundesliga prop betting markets. For example, if you want to bet on Bayern Munich to score over two goals with odds of -150, a $150 stake would return $100 in this instance.
The odds on any given bet are set by the sportsbook that you’re using, which means it can be beneficial to shop around the different Bundesliga betting sites, such as DraftKings Sportsbook, Caesars Sportsbook, FanDuel Sportsbook, BetUS Sportsbook, and many others.
Betting on the moneyline is a universal meaning for all sports markets, as the bettor (you) has to pick the winner of the game. However, when searching through the betting lines for your Bundesliga outright winner, you must factor in the pricing, which includes a tie-game. These are three-way moneylines (Win, Lose, or Draw).
As previously mentioned, the Bundesliga is known for delivering many goals during its games. This is where the Over/Under market becomes an enticing proposal for your Bundesliga predictions.
Bettors can predict the total number of goals scored (or not scored) in a game by selecting over or under. Most commonly, the over/under 2.5 is the set total. Over bettors would need 3 or more goals per game for this bet to win, and those betting on the under would need 2 or fewer goals to win their wagers.
Each Bundesliga regular season runs from August to May, with 36 soccer matches played during this time, most of which take place on a Saturday. Each team plays each other twice, home and away, and those who finish the season in the top four will qualify for the UEFA Champions League, while fifth and sixth-placed teams earn the right to compete in the UEFA Europa League. The Europa League also draws many bettors.
There are two German domestic cups, DFB-Pokal and DFL-Supercup; these are contested by the top three tiers in the German league system, the Bundesliga, Bundesliga 2, and 3. Liga.
The winner of the Bundesliga championship title is crowned the German soccer champion. However, unlike most European leagues where the top three teams are automatically promoted from the lower divisions and the bottom three are relegated, Germany’s top two leagues only have two automatic promotions between the divisions. At the same time, a two-legged play-off decides whether a third club is promoted or relegated.
Bundesliga title odds are released after the completion of every domestic season, and bettors can predict and bet on which team they expect to win the German league. Bundesliga futures also remain active all season long, so if you believe Bayern Munich will win the German football championship midway through the season, you can still bet on this. Placing Bundesliga outright championship winner’s pre-season bets will provide higher valued odds.
Bayern Munich is often the sportsbooks’ favorite in the future betting markets, with Borussia Dortmund coming in a close second, whether that’s to win the championship or have the top goal scorers.
