Definition of Group Betting

What does the term "group betting" mean in the world of football betting? What is meant by "group betting"?

With "group betting", you are simply betting on which team you think will win a group.

This could obviously refer to a competition like the World Cup, Champions League or any other tournament that has a "group stage".

For instance - let's take a look at a real life example from the 2022 World Cup.

Here are the "Group Betting" odds for Group C:

Argentina, -250
Poland, +450
Mexico, +500
Saudi Arabia, +2000

So, with these odds, you can bet on which team you think will finish as the top team of the group.

As you can see, Argentina is the clear favourite to finish at the top of the group - a successful $250 wager on Argentina would yield a total profit of $100.

If you are looking to wager on an underdog, Poland, Mexico and Saudi Arabia would both provide strong odds, though they obviously have a smaller chance of winning the group.

Here is another bunch of "Group Betting" odds from the same tournament:

Group A

Netherlands, -250
Senegal, +450
Ecuador, +600
Qatar, +1400

As you can see, Netherlands is the clear favourite to win.

With a competition like the World Cup, you usually have one clear favourite to win a group, along with three underdogs.
