Tournament outright betting or "futures betting" is a popular type of sports betting where you bet on the outcome of an entire tournament or season. Rather than betting on each match, simply predict who will be the ultimate winner. This type of betting is extremely simple and profitable on 888a.
Say the FIFA World Cup is on. You bet before the tournament starts or during the group stage that Brazil will be champions. If Brazil actually wins, you can enjoy every match from the opener to the final with a personal stake. Each Brazil victory takes you one step closer to your win. On 888a, odds for such outright bets are typically very high — ranging from 5.00 to 100.00.
The biggest appeal of outright betting is its simplicity. You don't need to analyse individual match line-ups, injury reports, or head-to-head records. Just identify the strongest teams in the tournament and place your bet. That's why outright bets are often the go-to starting point for new bettors.
888a offers outright markets on every major sports tournament. In football: World Cup, Euro, Copa America, Champions League, Europa League, Premier League, La Liga, Serie A — betting is available on all tournaments. In cricket: ODI World Cup, T20 World Cup, IPL, PSL, and other leagues are covered. In basketball: NBA Championship, in tennis: Grand Slams, and countless other sports have active outright markets.
One key factor to watch is how odds shift over time. Odds are at their highest before a tournament kicks off. As the tournament progresses and frontrunners become clearer, the odds gradually shorten. For example, Manchester City might be priced at 4.00 before the Champions League begins, but that could drop to 1.80 once they reach the semi-finals. Betting early means better potential returns.
That said, patience is essential with outright betting. A season or tournament can run for several months, meaning your funds are tied up for that entire period. That's why 888a offers "Early Payout" and "Cash Out" features. Say you've backed Arsenal to win the Premier League — if they're sitting at the top halfway through the season, 888a may offer you an early payout, giving you the chance to pocket some profit before the season is even over.
The Cash Out option offers even more flexibility. You can cash out part or all of your bet at any time. Suppose you bet on Germany but they're playing poorly in the group stage — you can cash out and recover some money. Or if your team is playing brilliantly but the final looks risky, cash out and lock in your profit.
Top Goalscorer markets are another popular part of outright betting. Predict which player will score the most goals in the World Cup or Champions League. Bets on stars like Mbappe, Haaland, and Kane are popular. But remember, how far the player's team goes matters too — it's hard to score many goals if they exit at the group stage.
Another advantage of outright betting at 888a is "Each Way" betting. This is especially useful for long odds. Each Way means your bet splits in two — half on the winner, half on top 4/8. If your team wins, both bets win. Even if they don't win but finish in the top 4, the second part wins. A good way to reduce risk.
Professional bettors often use a "hedging" strategy with outright bets. Say you previously bet BDT 10,000 on Spain at 8.00 odds. Now Spain reaches the final. Before the final, you can place some bets on the opposing team to guarantee a profit either way. A strategy to win in both scenarios.
