Best Primera Division Betting Odds (Uruguay)

Best betting odds Primera Division, Apertura (Uruguay)

Also called the Campeonato Uruguayo de Primera División, it is the highest category of professional football in Uruguay. In its ranks we have several teams with a frequent continental presence in Conmebol competitions such as Nacional and Peñarol, who are also the most successful at the national level. There are also some players with international influence such as Emanuel Gigliotti (NAC), Miguel Samudio (Liverpool UY) and Diego Rolán (PEÑ). 

Perhaps it is not one of the best leagues in the world nor do they have as much impact on the international football scene as the Premier League or LaLiga on the European continent. However, thanks to the world of sports betting, many punters and fans around the world can take advantage of a league that can be quite favorable for betting and making a profit. For this objective, SportyTrader is one of the best platforms to analyze any market of any league. 

In order to do this, you first must have a solid understanding of odds and the betting markets. Odds are figures generated by the bookmakers that are mainly defined by the probability of whether a sports bet is feasible or not. They also allow us to observe the possible gains based on our bet amount.

Factors influencing the calculation of Uruguayan Primera Division odds

The calculation of any set of betting odds is determined inversely to the probabilities that a team presents both to win and to lose. To better exemplify this idea, we can use a match between Peñarol (1st) vs Plaza Colonia (13th) where the home side, due to their squad level and venue, would be the favorites of all bookmakers. Therefore, the odds offered for a home win will therefore be quite low (e.g. 1.5 or -200), while the odds offered for a Plaza Colonia win will be comparatively higher (e.g. 5.75 or +475). In other words, in any bookmaker, you will always receive more profit the more you risk betting on the team that is less likely to win. The same will happen in any other market such as the number of corner kicks, cards and/or number of goals.

However, it is also important to remember that there are some extra variables in addition to the squad level or the playing venue that can also vary the odds. First of all, statistical data will be taken into account such as: the ranking of each team, the number of goals scored by either of the two contending teams, as well as the wins, draws, defeats, average shots, cards, chances generated per game, etc...

Secondly, it should be known that the human aspect in these matches must also be taken into account when calculating the odds of the winners of the Uruguayan top flight. In these calculations, factors such as the motivation of both teams, the absence of an important player who is usually decisive, the possible historical rivalry that causes even more tension, or even the statements of the coaches before the match are estimated.

Finally, the last important point to take into account is the window of opportunity that can be opened to bet on the favorite with high odds value. With the above example, an online bookmaker could raise the odds on a home win, for example, from 1.5 (-200) to 2.0 (+100), if, for example, an initial and momentary debacle were to occur for the favorite during the first few minutes, such as the inferior opponent, in this case Plaza Cologne, taking a 2-0 lead within 10 minutes. This would cause the odds of any possible outcome to change dramatically from pre-match values. The result would be a higher odds offering on a draw or a higher number of goals in the match if we believe the home side has the ability to come from behind. 

Any issue that may arise in the favorite, such as a last minute injury, will also affect the proposed odds in play. Therefore, it is crucial to remember that the odds offered in the First Division of Uruguay by the bookmakers are always dynamic.

Why calculate Uruguay Primera Division odds?

Beyond their nature or the way they are calculated, the interest of these odds is obvious from the point of view of the bettor, as you can use them to estimate the potential winnings of your bet. Indeed, by multiplying the odds by your bet, you will be able to discover your potential winnings on a betting coupon (odds x bet = winnings). For example, if you bet €150 on a victory of Cerro (12th) against Fenix (16th) at odds off 2.00, you would stand to receive a return of €300 (€150 profit) should your bet be a winner.

By checking the odds offered at online bookmakers, for example on a Nacional win against Danubio (7th), currently offered at 1.7, you will be able to determine whether your pre-match predictions are in order. On the other hand, and this is where it gets interesting, if you see the odds excessively high (e.g. 2.50 for a Nacional win in the above example) it would be right for you to think twice before placing your bet. It could be that you missed some important news, such as the injury of a key player, a heavily rotated team taking to the pitch, or the absence of the public in the stadium. All these questions must be answered before confirming your bet, otherwise you could jeopardize the final profit of your betting coupon.
