It\nis very easy for a game to two teams to play the game for more than an hour and\nstill have nothing to show for it at the end of the ninety minutes. This occurs\na lot of time though as a fan you will find that people rarely bet on it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In\nsome occasions, the opponent team could even have no plays or shots on target\nand your team be on their best form but still end the game in a draw. In some\ninstances, the keeper could also go all out and you see him having the best\ngame every with his team not being as strong and still end the game in a draw.\nPeople rarely bet on a draw but it is very possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a Draw in Football?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A\ndraw in this instance is when two teams score the same number of goals at the\nend of the specified ninety minutes or do not score any goals at all, key word\nbeing ninety minutes. In betting, unless specified, the game results usually\ncount up to the 90th<\/sup> minute. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately,\nif we read free football betting tips &\npredictions from 100% experts<\/a>, it\u2019s easy to know when a draw is the best\noption. What\u2019s more, you can learn about the best betting sites to use to\nmaximize your profits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Draw vs Direct Win<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A\ncorrect score is different from a draw in that when you bet on a correct score,\nyou are more specific on how the game should end and will be paid in accordance\nto that. A draw is usually represented by the \u2018x\u2019 in the betting format 1X2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In\ndifferent football leagues, different teams mirror each differently on the\npitch. Looking across the different leagues, you notice that it is very common\nfor a match to finish in a 1-1 result. This being more common than any other\nresult. Look at the 2016-17 season across all the leagues including the\nchampions\u2019 league as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nmost popular league for people to bet on being\nthe English premier league<\/a>,\nyou will see that though different score lines, many teams ended up drawing in\ntheir games. In that season alone, eighty four games ended in a tie of all the\n380 games played. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This\nis a really high number, 1-1 having a high 38 games out of the 84. This is\nabout 22% of the games played which can be attributed to one out of every five\ngames played. If you are therefore looking to place a multi-bet of about 10 or\n15 games in the premier league, it is therefore wise to consider that 2 or 3 of\nthose games will end in a draw. It is not as simple as it sound since a lot of\nfactors and stats determine a game\u2019s outcome, but it is still very important to\nnote this point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When\nyou drop down a division to the championship, the teams are not as good as\nthose in the premier league. You can see from the stats if this has a\nsignificant impact on the game results. Having 552 games to play, the\nchampionship has more games to play then the premier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Highest Number of Draws in a Season<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

 In the 2016-17 season, there were one hundred\nand thirty draws which equates to 23.55% of the matches played. The statistics\nare still close to those of the premier league having about 1 out of 4 games\nending in a draw compared to the premier league\u2019s one of five.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over\nto the German side of England in the Bundesliga, there were 74 out of the 360\ngames played ended in a draw. The league had fewer games played in that season\nbut still very similar to the premier league. The most common being a 1-1 draw\nhaving 37 of the 74. This is 24.1% of the games played a ratio of one of every\nfour games played.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\nwill hear a lot of people saying that Spain is a country that adores attacking\nfootball giving you the notion that the number of draws that would occur in the\nla liga would be significantly lower than other leagues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However,\n89 out of the 380 games played ended in a draw, this league and the premier\nleague having the same number of 0-0 draws in that season. For a nation that\nloves 23.4% of their matches ended in a draw, which is just a little over\nEngland\u2019s 22%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Draws in French and Italian Leagues<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over\nto France in the Ligue 1, which features the same number of teams as both la\nliga and the premier league the figures don\u2019t seem to change much. In as much\nas this league lacks the reputation of this other teams and produced a lower\nnumber of terms to compete globally, there were only 10 more draws as compared\nto the premier league.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 This equates to 24.7% of all the games played\n49 of the 94 ending in a 1-1 draw. It is worth noting that this is the closest\nto one of every four games ending with both teams taking a point home as\ncompared to any other league. Remember this when placing a bet on France league\nmatches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Italy\nbeing famous for their defending football than any other league would mean that\na lot of games are expected to end in a 0-0 result. In this campaign however,\n1-1 draw registered a high 41 games out of the 80 draws in the league. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nleague played 380 games with the number of 0-0 draws being exactly the same as\nthose of the premier league and the Spanish la liga. Serie A had a 21.05% on\ndraws which is lower than all the other leagues. Even though their stereotype\nis defensive football, statistics show that betting on a draw without\nconsideration could be really wrong in this league.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The FA and Champions League<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking\nat statistics from the FA cup and the Champions\u2019 league where teams need a win\nto proceed, you will notice the difference, counting only up to the regular\ngame time, 90 minutes of play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the FA cup matches, though devalued as the\nyears go by, every team still wants to win it<\/a> maybe just for bragging rights. In the\n2016-17 season, from the first round all through to the final, it featured 160\nmatches, 44 of them ending in draws. This is a high 28.2% of the games played.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In\nthe champions\u2019 league, which features the elites of Europe, a 49.6% of the\ngames played end without a winner. Due to the away goal rule, teams don\u2019t\nnecessarily need to win in order to proceed. This is an interesting fact to\nlook at.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
