Winning Margin

Winning Margin is a type of bet where you predict the exact number of points, goals, or runs by which a team or player will win in a match.

For example, in football, if you bet on Manchester City to win by 2 goals, your bet wins only if Manchester City wins by exactly two goals (e.g., 2-0, 3-1, 4-2). If they win by one goal or more than two, the bet loses.

Winning margin bets are popular in sports like football, basketball, rugby, and American football because they offer higher odds than standard match-winner bets, as they require a more precise prediction. Some bookmakers allow banded winning margin bets, such as "Team A to win by 1-2 goals", which increases the chances of winning but lowers the odds.
