The Finnish Cup is the club knockout tournament held by the FA of Finland.  All teams from the Veikkausliiga down through the 7th division, over 350 teams are eligible to participate.  OddsJet compares Finnish Cup betting odds from several reputable online bookmakers that serve customers in Norway and offer NOK accounts.  This allows OddsJet to display the best odds for every match in the tournament to maximize potential returns for Norwegian bettors.  Users can toggle between 1X2 match odds as well as Double Chance odds.  Although a cup 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.

Finnish Cup Odds Explained  

1X2 Match Betting

This is the most popular betting market for the Finnish Cup.  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.

Finnish Cup 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 NOK 100. First, negative numbers are used when the odds are below even-money and express how much one must wager in order to win a profit of NOK 100.  When one sees a negative number like IFK Mariehamn to win at -245, this means that one would need to stake NOK 245 in order to win a profit of NOK 100, for a total return of NOK 345.  When the odds are above even, American odds format displays a positive figure which expresses how much one will win when NOK 100 is staked.  For example, match odds of +300 for a draw means that a stake of NOK 100 wins NOK 300 in profit for a total return of NOK 400. 

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 Haka is listed to win at 1.64, a NOK 100 bet would return a total of NOK 164 including your stake, so the profit is NOK 64.  A draw with decimal odds of 3.40 would return NOK 170 on a bet of NOK 50. 

For Fractional format, the odds express the amount of profit that will be returned on a wager.  So for example, with a bet of NOK 50 and odds of 2/3 (said two-to-three) on Inter Turku to win, one would see a profit of NOK 33.33 (NOK 50 X 2/3) plus the stake for a total return of NOK 83.33.
