Best UEFA Nations League Betting Odds (Europe)

Odds are integral to any sports bet, as without them, the betting game would not exist. Based mainly on the probability of a sports bet to be validated, odds allow us to determine the winnings of such a bet, whether on football or any other sport. Thus when we talk about Nations League football, we also must talk about the odds offered on this UEFA international competition.

Several factors used to calculate Nations League odds

As we already know, the odds offered on the Nations League are directly related to the probabilities of the events with which they are linked. Thus, when an event has a high chance of unfolding during a UEFA Nations League match, the odds offered on the bet will be quite low. The opposite is also true, if an event has a low probability of occurring, the odds offered by bookmakers will be much higher. To show this, we can use an example of a meeting between France and the Netherlands, for which the Blues would be bookmaker's favourites. The odds offered on a French victory will as such be rather modest (e.g. 7/5), while the odds offered on a bet of 'Holland to Win', will be comparatively higher (e.g. 3/1). The difference between these two values is explained by the difference in probabilities of the occurrence of the two scenarios.

It is also important to be aware that Nations League odds are calculated by bookmakers in accordance with a number of variable factors surrounding the match. Firstly, mathematical data will be taken into account, statistics surrounding a meeting of this international competition - the ranking of each team in their pool, the number of goals scored by either team in pool matches, as well a number of other factors (wins, draws, losses etc.).

Secondly, know that the more human aspect of such matches must also be taken into account when calculating Nations League winner odds. These calculations include the feelings of bookmakers, and estimate factors such as the motivation of the two teams, potential historical rivalry, and pre-match statements made by coaches. Always good to know if you're unsure about the value of odds being offered by bookmakers.

Finally, the last major point to consider is that time is another important dimension that can change UEFA Nations League odds. For example, an online bookmaker may devalue the odds of a English victory against Croatia (e.g. 3/2 to 13/10), if a scandal emerges surrounding the Croatian players before  the game. Also, after the start of the match during a live bet, the team to open the scoring or a player receiving a suspension will also impact the proposed in-play odds. Crucial to remember therefore:  odds offered on the Nations League will never be frozen by bookmakers.

Why the interest in Nations League odds?

Beyond their nature or the way they are calculated, the interest of these Nations League odds is evident, as one will be able to use them to estimate the potential winnings of their bet. Indeed, it is by multiplying odds by your stake bet that you can discover your potential winnings on a betting coupon (odds x bet = winnings). For example, if you were to bet £150 on a Spanish victory against Croatia at odds of 3/2, you would win £300 if your bet is realised. Simple, hence the importance of always betting on the highest possible odds for the bet of your choice.

Beyond knowing your winnings, Nations League odds can also serve to direct your sports bet, as before placing your bet you can compare your own opinion with those of the bookmakers. By noting the odds offered, for example an Italian victory over Poland offered at 7/5 by online bookmakers, you can determine that your pre-match feelings were right. In contrast, and this is where it becomes interesting, if you see odds which are underestimated (e.g. 11/10) or overvalued (e.g. 5/2), it would be right to think again before placing your bet. Have you missed an important factor surrounding the match - player injury or a team having already qualified and thus having less motivation to win? Such questions will have to be answered before validating your Nations League bet, otherwise you could endanger the final winnings of your betting coupon.
