Best Fortuna Liga Betting Odds (Czech Republic)

It is important to understand how odds work before getting into the world of sports betting. These are established by sports betting sites, known as "bookmakers". These sites offer several possibilities for betting on the results of football matches, especially for the Fortuna Liga (Czech Republic). When you place a sports bet, regardless of the match or competition, it is the amount you bet combined with the odds offered by the bookmaker that determines your potential future winnings (if your bet is successful). For this article we will focus our attention on the betting market of the Fortuna Liga.

How are Fortuna Liga odds calculated?

All bookmakers today calculate statistics in much the same way for every league around the world, the Czech Fortuna Liga included. They will then come up with several betting odds for the same match. In short, the odds of a bet is the reflection of the probability that the result will occur. Thus, concerning Fortuna Liga matches, the process will be identical to other football matches in the world. Each sports betting site will use its own database, in order to calculate and propose its odds on which its customers will be able to bet. The way it works is quite simple to understand: the higher the odds on a match, the less likely it is to happen. And on the contrary, the lower the odds, the greater the probability that the result will occur according to the statistical calculations of the various bookmakers. 

In order to understand this, let's take an example with a match in the Czech league between Slavia Prague and Brno. Slavia is one of the biggest football clubs in the Czech Republic and is a consistent challenger for the league title. They come up against a modest club that regularly battles for its survival in the Czech top flight and in this match there is a strong imbalance in terms of numbers. It is therefore quite normal to see the home side (Slavia Prague) favoured by the bookmakers to win the match against Brno. A bet of "Slavia Prague to win" will be displayed at fairly low odds (e.g. 1.20), as the odds of success for one of the best clubs in the country are very high. On the other hand, the odds for the bet "Brno to win" will be logically quite high (example: 7.00), because the chances of this average team winning are very low, especially if we look at the difference in points in the general ranking and the history of confrontations between the two teams. We should also note that the odds of Fortuna Liga matches will not be the same at different bookmakers in the market. Indeed, there are several parameters that have to be taken into account when calculating the probability of success of one or the other team, such as the balance of power between the two teams, the location of the match, the composition of the team (injuries and suspensions), the rivalry of the match, the previous confrontations between the clubs of the Czech league, etc.

Finally, you should also be aware that you will see different fluctuations in the odds during Fortuna Liga matches. Thus, you will be confronted with several changes in the odds when a particular event occurs on the pitch that is likely to have an outcome on the final result of the match. To understand what we mean, let's take the example of the match between Slavia and Brno. Let us imagine that the visiting team manages to open the score in the first half. Such a scenario would be a real surprise for all observers, given the difference in level between the two teams. As soon as the underdog leads the scoreboard or benefits from a numerical superiority (e.g. a player of the favourite team being sent off), the balance of power between the two teams will change. The various bookmakers will react instantly by taking into account these new parameters and therefore make new calculations of probability by integrating the number of time remaining in the match in order to propose live odds with this 0-1 score. This will result in a change in the odds on the final outcome of the match for punters. For example, the odds for the underdog Brno to win will logically decrease from 7.00 (before kick-off) to 2.20 with the opening goal. On the other hand, the odds of the favourites Slavia Prague will increase significantly, from 1.20 in the first minutes of the match to 2.90. This will be the case for all Fortuna Liga matches, and in real time, according to the various scenarios that occur in each Czech league match.

How to analyse Fortuna Liga odds?

Depending on the Fortuna Liga matches, the odds will fluctuate at the various sports betting sites and this provides an advantage for us bettors. The most important thing for all bettors is to know the real amount of their winnings. To do this, you need to do a quick and simple mathematical calculation which is to multiply the odds by the amount you are going to invest (odds x stake = bet winnings). You really need to master it, because it is thanks to this calculation that you will know your expectation of winnings. This basic calculation should be done for all your sports bets.

Another thing to know that is just as important to master is to understand the relationship between your prediction (your analysis) and the odds that the various bookmakers on the market will offer you. Indeed, it is only in this way that you will know if your prediction of the Fortuna Liga matches up logically with the result estimated by the bookmakers. In order to understand all this, let's take the example of a match between Plzen and Ostrava. Beforehand, you have reviewed the match by collecting various information and you have decided to bet on the success of Plzen, the defending champion, who is playing at home against a team positioned at the bottom of the table. When you look at the odds for the match, you realise that the odds for the Plzen win are offered at 1.50 on the sites. Between your prediction and the posted odds, everything seems normal, so you are in line with the different bookmakers regarding the victory of the home team. The logic of the market is well respected according to which the favourite should win today. However, if you realise that the proposed odds (on Plzen’s victory) are much higher than expected (2.20 for example), you will have to understand why this price is abnormal. It could be that you have simply missed an important piece of information about the match. In some matches, it is possible that you don't have all the necessary information about one of the two teams, which can explain the difference in the odds.

Generally, it is important to have the official line-ups of both teams in order to know the intentions of both coaches, as these can tell you more about the motivation of the teams for the match. If there are no major changes in the team composition with the presence of the senior players and you still do not understand the difference in scoring, check other parameters (if the match is not played behind closed doors for example). Indeed, all this data not taken into account in your analysis can influence the final outcome of the match. If, after checking, there is information that you have missed, you should integrate it into your analysis and find out if your prediction is still worth taking. It is also possible that you simply do not agree with the bookmakers on the strengths and weaknesses of a team. At the end of the day, you have to bear in mind that the various sports betting sites, despite their various calculations of probabilities, do not see the future and these remain pure projections. They do not know in advance who will win the match. So, if your analysis is complete and you have carefully studied the parameters of the match, then have confidence in yourself and your analysis by betting on the team of your choice. You will need to do the same for all Fortuna Liga matches.

Future betting markets for the Fortuna Liga

For your Fortuna Liga predictions, you also have the possibility to bet on the competition itself, as with most other leagues around the world. The fact that you can make so-called long term bets is a great opportunity to spot and speculate on different teams in the Czech first division. For example, you’ll have the possibility to determine the winner of the competition but also to determine which teams will finish on the podium, who will finish at the bottom of the standings and move to the second division next year, etc.

There is another point of interest with these different side bets, which is that you can make them at different times of the season. So you can do it before the Czech league starts but also in the middle of the season, and even a few days before the end of the league. Similar to live bets, the odds will fluctuate according to the general ranking at the moment. This allows punters to follow the season in a completely different way and to be kept on their toes by the performances of the selected teams weekend after weekend.
