Ligue 1 Odds: How are they calculated

Logically, odds are calculated based on the statistics and important figures related to a Ligue 1 results that you want to bet on. It should be known that if an event is likely to occur, the odds offered on such a bet will be relatively low, and vice versa: the less likely an event is to occur, the higher the odds offered on the bet will be.

This can be best demonstrated with an example, such as a Ligue 1 match between Paris Saint Germain and Saint-Etienne, in which as the top favourites in recent years, PSG would naturally be expected to win against 'Les Verts'. Therefore, a bet placed on 'PSG to Win' would be proposed at lower odds (e.g. 11/10), as the probability of victory for the Parisians is quite high. On the other hand, the odds proposed for a wager on 'Saint-Etienne to Win' would be much higher (e.g. 9/2), as the chances of their victory are much weaker according to statistics and playing history. Ligue 1 odds will therefore vary according to the statistics and figures of the club, players, or even the coaches of the French Football Championship.

In addition, odds can also vary over the course of a match, depending on the events that unfold.  Using the same example, if Saint-Etienne were to open the scoring at Parc des Princes, the odds of their victory would drop for placing live bets (e.g. from 9/2 to 14/5), while the odds offered on the success of the Parisians would increase (e.g. from 11/10 to 2/1) - important to know.

How to use odds for your Ligue 1 betting

Constantly varying in value according to the bets offered by bookmakers, the odds of Ligue 1 matches will have several interests, the first of course being to calculate the potential winnings of your bet. More specifically, it is by multiplying these odds by the amount of money you are willing to bet that you can determine your potential winnings that the bookies will pay out if your bet is successful - odds x bet = winnings.

Secondly, another function of odds on Ligue 1 matches is to confirm your own opinions with those of bookmakers. For example if you think that Lyon have the greater chance of beating Marseille at home, and you see that the odds proposed on a 'Lyon to Win' punt are being offered at 9/5 by bookmakers, there is no problem with your bet, as it follows the logic of the market.

On the other hand, if you were to find that the odds of Lyon's victory are abnormally high (e.g. 3/1), you may need to ask some questions about your bet. In this situation there are two possibilities: the first being that you missed out on some major information surrounding the match (e.g. player injury or suspension, rotation of squad before European fixtures etc.), in which case it will be necessary to review your Ligue 1 predictions. The second case could be that you feel the online betting sites have underestimated Lyon in the context of the match, in which it would make sense to bet without hesitation on the victory of 'Les Gones'. The same rationale applies to all Ligue 1 matches - remember to capitalise on overvalued odds, you could win big!
