Multigoals 1 – 4 Meaning
The Multigoals market has proven to be extremely popular amongst football bettors. Instead of being required to predict a specific number of goals in a match, this market allows you to bet on the number of goals in a selected range.
The Multigoals market is available at many top betting sites. There are many variations of this market, with the range of goals smaller or larger. Generally, the larger the range, the shorter the odds.
In addition to the standard version, there are variations of the Multigoals 1 – 4 market that can sometimes offer greater value. In this guide, we’re going to examine the most common variations of this bet, what Multigoals means and aspects to consider when you stake on this market.
What does Multigoals mean?
A Multigoals bet is where you choose from a given range how many goals will be scored in a game. Most operators offer odds on short ranges, such as 1 to 2 goals, to much bigger ranges, like 1 to 6 goals in a match. The 1 – 4 market is a mid-range bet.
Let’s look at an example. For this, we’re going to use the Multigoals market available on the Serie A game between Lazio and Roma.
In the table below, we’ve detailed the Multigoals odds for each selection. The below odds are for 90 minutes, or Regular Time, play. Some operators also offer 1st Half and 2nd Half Multi Goal markets which, generally speaking, can provide bigger odds, but for now we’ll concentrate on 90 minutes play.
| Multigoals Market | Odds |
|---|---|
| 1-2 | 2.0 |
| 1-3 | 1.43 |
| 1-4 | 1.2 |
| 1-5 | 1.13 |
| 1-6 | 1.09 |
| 2-3 | 2.0 |
| 2-4 | 1.58 |
| 2-5 | 1.43 |
| 2-6 | 1.37 |
| 3-4 | 2.65 |
| 3-5 | 2.25 |
| 3-6 | 2.10 |
| 4-5 | 4.2 |
| 4-6 | 3.75 |
| 5-6 | 8.0 |
| 7+ | 29.0 |
As you can see, the 1 – 4 market might not offer particularly enticing odds, but the minimum goal amount is reasonable to expect. So, if you bet on this market and one, two, three or four goals are scored in the match, your bet will win. For reference, our selected game finished 1-1, and so if we would’ve placed a stake on this market, we would’ve been successful.
As we touched upon earlier, some operators offer 1st Half and 2nd Half Multigoals markets. These work the same as the standard market, with the obvious difference being instead of 90 minutes play, you’re betting on the range of goals scored in either the first half or the second half.
Often, the odds on the Half market can be vastly different than the standard market. To illustrate this, we looked at the Multigoals market for the Bundesliga match between Mainz and Wolfsburg. Note that the specific 1 – 4 market isn’t often available for Half betting, though it is possible to bet on 4+ goals market at most operators. While the 1 – 4 market might not be available in Half betting, our research does help illustrate the difference in odds, as compared to the standard 90 minutes market. You can see our results in the table below.
| Multigoal Bands | 90 Minutes | 1st Half | 2nd Half |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1-2 | 2.3 | 1.62 | 1.62 |
| 1-3 | 1.5 | 1.4 | 1.32 |
| 1-4 | 1.24 | ||
| 1-5 | 1.13 |
For the standard Multigoals 1 – 4 market, you’re not betting on which specific team will score. There are other variations of the Multigoal market that allows you to choose a specific team, which can often provide bigger odds than the standard version.
Let’s use another example. St Louis City are playing Columbus Crew in the MLS. Below, we’ve listed the odds for general 90 minutes play, along with each side’s odds on scoring between one and four goals in the game.
| 90 Minutes | St Louis City | Columbus Crew |
|---|---|---|
| 1.23 | 1.33 | 1.27 |
Many operators also allow their customers to combine the Multigoals market with other popular markets. For instance, markets like Match Result & Multigoals and Double Chance and Multigoals are other common options and again can offer better value than the standard variation.
Why bet on the Multigoals market?
As the Multigoals market works in bands, or in other words, provides a goal range, it can be easier to predict correctly than other markets. Betting on the exact number of goals in a game, or above or below a specified number, might provide better odds, but can be tougher to call correctly.
There are also plenty of variations in this market. As we’ve seen in this guide, goal bands can be smaller or larger. The 1 – 4 market can also be combined with other popular choices to increase the odds and therefore your potential winnings.
Another plus point of the Multigoals market is that it doesn’t matter which team wins the match in question. To win a Multigoals 1 – 4 bet, the match in question must have one, two, three or four goals scored. It doesn’t matter which team scores them or the final score in the game, which can provide greater flexibility than other markets.
