Betting on Ipswich Town

Promoted sides can be priced as underdogs even at home. Say a bookmaker offers 3.10 on an Ipswich home win, 3.40 on the draw and 2.30 on the away win. Those prices imply chances of 32.3%, 29.4% and 43.5%, which total 105.1%, so the margin is 5.1%. A €10 bet on the draw at 3.40 returns €34.00, a €24.00 profit. The prices are illustrative, not a quote. Our guide to how betting odds work walks through the sums.

Before you bet on a Ipswich Town match, check for team news, because line-ups are announced about an hour before kick-off and prices often move. Our bet types guide explains markets such as draw no bet and both teams to score, and the free bets guide explains why offers rarely pay what the headline suggests.
