Most football fans certainly know how difficult it can be to predict the outcome in certain games. Nevertheless, whenever Ronaldo joins the equation, the betting rules need to adapt to a game-changing variable...
Watching Cristiano Ronaldo play is always a joy. The footballing icon has a knack for doing something spectacular and producing a game-winning moment. Betting on a Ronaldo game has always been a great way of adding to the excitement as you get to have a stake in the game. However, you can go beyond the game to bet on Ronaldo himself. This is thanks to prop betting, a type of wagering that is becoming quite popular and is often included in most of the best soccer picks. So how do you go about it? In this guide, we'll give you the basics you can use to bet on CR7.
Cristiano Ronaldo - Ballon d'Or material:
Prop bets are short for proposition bets, and they are a type of bet that allows you to wager on specific events or performances within a game. One of the best parts about this type of bet is that it’s not affected by the overall outcome of the game. Rather, it is a specific item that stands on its own.
For example, you can predict whether Ronaldo will score in the first half. This type of bet is separate from the outcome of both the half and the entire game. If Ronaldo scores in the 3rd minute, your bet is settled immediately, and you collect your win.
But besides a particular player, you can also bet on the game or team. For example, you can predict the number of goals that Al Nassr will score. This won't necessarily need to be the exact number of goals, as prop bets are mostly expressed in terms of over/under and yes/no. In the case of team goals, you’ll find options such as "over 2.5 and under 2.5." When betting on Ronaldo or any other player, the bet will be in a yes/no format, such as whether he will score in the first half.
Below are some types of player prop bets that you can place.
• Goals Galore
You've probably watched Ronaldo for many years and seen him score loads of goals. But can you predict whether he’s going to score in the upcoming game? Well, chances are that he will, given his exploits in the Saudi Pro League and everywhere else he has been, but when will he score? Here, you can choose between the first half, the second half, and any time within the game.
Depending on your sportsbook, you can get other options, such as the number of goals he will score in either a particular game or tournament. You can also bet on him being the first scorer for his team or even scoring a hattrick.
• Assists and Contributions
Ronaldo's influence extends beyond his unbeatable goal-scoring capabilities. Besides the goals, you can also bet on whether he will provide an assist or make key passes that will lead to goal-scoring opportunities for teammates.
• Performance Metrics
There are also prop bets that focus on the performance metrics of a player, although you may not find them in every sportsbook. These take into consideration how deeply games are analyzed today, and they include things such as shots on target, successful dribbles, passing accuracy, and distance covered. However, before you can bet on these, you need to do some deep analysis on how the player has been performing in recent games.
• Match-Specific Bets
If you want to take a broader look at Ronaldo's props, you can consider them in relation to the entire game. These are much easier than prop bets that only factor in a single half or quarter of the game. Some of the bets you can place here include whether the player will receive a yellow or red card, score a penalty goal, or score outside the box.
• Season-Long Bets
An even broader perspective is considering an entire season or tournament, such as Euro 2024. Here, you can bet on props such as the number of goals Ronaldo will score, the number of assists, and whether he will clinch the top scorer award or player of the season/tournament award. All these allow you to add some extra intrigue to your favorite player when watching a game.
