Best KNVB beker Betting Odds (Netherlands)

Netherlands - KNVB beker
Upcoming KNVB beker matches

The first thing to do when looking to bet on a match played in the KNVB Beker (which is the Dutch Cup) is to see what odds are being offered by the bookmakers. What are the odds? They are a numerical indicator of the likelihood of an event happening for the bet that you are thinking of placing. This is because the odds show you how much can be won if it is successful. For example, if the selection you want to bet on has odds of 3.00 (2/1 in fractional odds), a successful £10 bet would win you £20 plus your stake back.

How are the odds calculated on the KNVB Beker?

The odds that a bookmaker offers are a reflection of statistics and mathematical probabilities, linked to KNVB Beker games you wish to bet on.. If the chances of an event happening are high, then the odds on offer will be low. However, if the bookmakers believe that an event is unlikely to happen, higher odds will be on offer. Let’s look at a match in which Ajax are home to Twente.

It’s Ajax who are the favourites to win this cup tie. The odds of them winning are 1.6 with Twente 3.25 and a draw 2.6. The bookmakers therefore believe the chances of an Ajax victory are high and a win for Twente is unlikely. They will therefore not want to be offering too high odds on Ajax as they expect to have to pay out on bets for them to win.

Don’t just bet on a game without doing some prior research. Find out the team line-ups, the current form of both sides and how good each side is at home and away.  The line-ups will be important to know as teams do tend to play weakened line-ups in cup ties. It’s all information that will help you pick winners. The bookmakers will have done just that when calculating the odds they will offer their customers.

Odds are also available in-play. Throughout the match, what is happening on the pitch will determine the odds that are on offer. If Ajax go 1-0 up, then the chances of them winning increase, so the odds offered will be reduced to perhaps 1.35. The odds on a win for Twente will increase as will the odds on a draw. The longer the game is level, the odds on both teams to win will increase and the odds on a draw will be reduced.

If it was Twente who went ahead. then their odds will be reduced. Ajax may well still be favourites to win the match but are now available at better odds. If the visitors are still ahead well into the second half, their odds will keep falling and may even end up as favourites to win. The longer a game is level, the odds on a draw will keep falling. On-field incidents such as injuries or a sending off will also influence the odds. If Ajax were to be reduced to 10 men, their odds of winning would be increased.

How to use KNVB Beker odds?

First of all, you have to understand that it is not the case that every bookmaker will offer the same odds for each match. Some will have slightly better odds than others, so make sure you find out which those are. To find out how much you can expect to receive for a winning prediction, simply multiply the odds of your bet by the amount you wish to bet. The total is what will be credited to your account if you win (odds x stake = bet winnings).

Furthermore, the odds allow you to know whether a bet is worth taking or not. Let’s look at a game that has PSV home to Feyenoord. PSV are difficult to beat at home. so the bookmakers offer 1.75 on them to win the match.  Do you agree with those odds? You might believe the odds should be higher, though it might be that you think 1.75 is well worth betting on. Why are they being offered at 1.75? It may well be because they have injuries or will be resting some players. If unsure about the odds, then don’t have a bet.

It is important you try to find out as much as you can about an event you are considering betting on. If unsure about a bet, it is perhaps best not to place it. Another possibility is that you have taken into account every factor that can influence the outcome of the match and you really think that the bookmakers are underestimating PSV who have a stronger squad than Feyenoord and can still win the match. 1.75 looks something you will want to place a bet at.

Bet on the long term with the odds of the future KNVB Beker winner

As you probably know, you can place bets on all matches played in the KNVB Beker.  However, as well as odds being offered on each game, there are other markets available to bet on. For example, you can bet on who will win the Dutch Cup or reach the final. These types of long-term bets can be very interesting, especially at the beginning of the competition. If you find good odds, don't hesitate to take the bet and follow the KNVB Beker.

Register everywhere!

Finally, it will be important that you register on different sports betting sites to take advantage of the odds being offered for the KNVB Beker.  As you can see, the odds can vary depending on the bookmaker. By having an account on as many of them as possible, you will always be able to bet on the highest odds available and thus optimise your winnings to the maximum. 

In a match that sees AZ home to Utrecht, the majority of bookmakers have odds of 1.5 on a win for AZ. However, a visit to Vbet reveals they are offering odds of 1.6. It is better therefore to place your bet with that bookmaker. A £100 win bet on AZ would produce an extra £10 in your return if AZ were to win the match. Over a period of time, that could see a substantial additional amount being won.

To be able to place that wager with Vbet, you do need to register with them. It is important therefore to register with as many sites as possible to help you maximise your winnings.
