The DFB Pokal is Germany’s top domestic club cup competition, which begins with a round of 64 teams.  OddsJet compares DFB Pokal betting odds from several reputable online sportsbook companies that serve customers in Switzerland, several of which offer CHF accounts.  This allows OddsJet to display the best odds for every match in the tournament to maximize potential returns for Swiss bettors.  Users can toggle between 1X2 match odds as well as Double Chance odds.  Although a knockout competition, these betting markets apply to the match result after 90 minutes of play (full-time), including any stoppage or injury time.  They do not apply to a result after extra time or penalty shoot-out.  After you have identified which provider offers the highest potential payout for your selections, you may then look to learn more about them or any of our listed Swiss betting sites.

DFB Pokal Odds Explained  

1X2 Match Betting

This is the most popular betting market for the DFB Pokal.  Here, one is simply wagering on the Full-Time result of a given match: 1 – a Home Win, X – a Draw, 2 – an Away win.

Double Chance Betting

This is a variation of typical 1X2 match betting whereby one selects any two of the three possible outcomes: 1,X – Home Win or Draw.  X,2 - Draw or Away Win.  1,2 - Home Win or Away Win.  This allows for a hedging of one’s bet.  In doing so, the odds will be lower than for a typical 1X2 match result odds.

DFB Pokal odds expressed in American, Decimal and Fractional formats

For American odds format, there are two sets of expressions to remember, but both revolve around the figure of CHF 100. First, negative numbers are for odds that are below even-money and express how much one needs to wager in order to win a profit of CHF 100.  When one sees a negative number like -305 on Schalke 04 to win, this means that one would need to stake CHF 305 in order to win a profit of CHF 100, for a total return of CHF 405.  When the odds are above even-money, American odds format displays a positive figure which expresses how much one could win when CHF 100 is staked.  For example, with match odds of +400, a CHF 100 bet yields CHF 400 in profit, for CHF 500 total return.  If CHF 25 was staked at the same +400, the potential profit would be CHF 100 for a CHF 125 total return. 

For Decimal odds format, the odds express the full amount that will be returned on your wager including the stake amount.  Simply multiply the odds by the stake. For example, if Borussia Monchengladbach is listed to win at 1.69, a CHF 100 bet would return a total of CHF 169 including your stake, so the profit is CHF 69.  A draw with decimal odds of 3.43 would return CHF 343 on a bet of CHF 100. 

For Fractional format, the odds express the amount of profit that will be returned on a wager.  So for example, with a wager of CHF 100 and odds of 3/7 (said three-to-seven) on Stuttgart to win, one would see a profit of CHF 42.86 (3/7 X CHF 100) plus the stake for a total return of CHF 142.86.
