Outright betting

Outright betting involves placing a bet on a chosen team winning an entire tournament or league instead of a single match or fixture. These odds can be available months in advance of a league or football tournament commencing, and are often referred to as antepost odds.

Example of outright betting
Irish bookmaker, Paddy Power, offers outright odds on the FIFA World Cup with Spain and Brazil priced favourites to win the tournament at 5/1. A bet on either of these teams winning the tournament will therefore payout the specified odds if either one of these goes on to lift the World Cup.
