Let's begin by taking a look at the Football Blitz game and detail specifically how the game works.
Football Blitz is very similar to a card game known as “War”, only in this game, the context is set against a soccer-themed backdrop.
The live dealer controls the game and it is played on a specially designed felt, which resembles a football pitch. Marked on the felt are “Mandante” or “Home” and “Debitante” or “Away” representing the home and away teams from a soccer match.
There is a space for a single card marked beneath both of these titles as you can see in the screenshot above.
Each game starts with a betting period of around 10 seconds – This is a fast-paced game and you can rattle through matches at a blistering pace! Little wonder it is a game enjoyed by players who like to place bets and resolve them quickly!
We'll explore the bets you can make in the section below.
Once you have placed a bet and the betting period ends, the drawing of the cards begins. The dealer will burn the top card and place it in the discard pile and then draw the home team card first, revealing its number and then they will draw the away card, also revealing its number.
The value of each card is outlined below from lowest score to highest.
Suits have no influence in this game, it is the face value of each card only that matters.
The card drawn for the Home team is their ‘score' or points and likewise the away teams' ‘score' or points are denoted by their drawn card value.
Based on these cards, the outcome of the match is decided and the winning bet or bets from those available are highlighted and paid out.
For example, if the Home Team has the Four of Hearts and the Away Team the Nine of Clubs, then the game result would be 9 points to 4 in favour of the Away Team – a five point (or goal) victory for the visiting team.
This outcome would highlight the winning bets on the Away Team including:
However, as the away team won by just five, the other away team bets of +5.5, +7.5, +9.5 and +10.5 would lose.
The game then ends, the dealer discards those cards into the discards pile and a new game begins with another 10-second betting period.
There are three main bets you can make, each of which has its own odds. They are:
All you need to do is choose the amount you wish to wager on an option once you have clicked on it, to place your bet.
However, alongside the three main bets, there are also twelve other spread bet options you can also place a bet on.
There are six spread bets you can place for each of the two teams. These bets are based on the difference in points between the two teams in a single match.
To win, the difference in points between the two teams has to be greater than the amount shown by the spread bet.
For example, if you bet on +1.5 for the home team, then your bet will win if the home team wins by two points or more. The greater the spread in points, then the higher the odds for that bet as it is less likely to occur.
The Spread bet options (with odds) for both the home and away teams are as follows:
Those odds are the same for each game, unless they are enhanced by the awarding of a Lucky Bet Spot once the betting is completed. We'll explore what a Lucky Bet Spot is below.
For each game, if you place a Spread Bet then you could also benefit from a Lucky Bet Spot. For each game between one and twelve of the available spread bets will be awarded a Lucky Bet spot.
If this matches the spread bet you placed, then the odds for winning that bet will be boosted from its standard amount.
The size of the boost varies, but can be anywhere from a small boost, up to 500x your bet!
To help decide which bets to make, Football Blitz offers a statistical breakdown of previous games.
You can see at the top of the stats the percentage of Home Team wins, Draws and Away Team Wins. Home Team Wins are in Gold, Away Team in Blue and Draws in Green.
Underneath this, you can see the Spread Bet result for each match, the colour indicating whether it is a home win, away win or draw and the number inside showing the difference in points which determined the spread bet winners. (Lowest can be +1, Highest +12 for a win, for a draw the difference is always 0).
You can also click on the Score Difference option to see the number of points between each of the teams in each of the matches shown on screen (40 in total).
Additionally, there is a score for the home and away team shown behind the live dealer. This simply shows the number of consecutive wins for either the home or away team. It resets when the current run of wins for the home or away team ends.
There are a number of other great football-themed gaming and betting options available at bet365 across its family of sites. They are a great accompaniment to playing Football Blitz and include:
