Intertoto Football Betting
Why place football bets on Intertoto cup over the Internet?
Depending on the bookmaker, you can bet on any sporting event, or
indeed any other event, from as little as 1 euro. To begin betting,
you only need to complete the free registration, put some money into
your betting account and... you’re off! Nowadays, of course, modern
data protection systems ensure that deposits and payments can be
made rapidly and in complete security. The Intertoto Cup is possibly
the least popular competition in the eyes of the general public. It
is a summer tournament organised by UEFA for European teams that
finish just outside the UEFA Cup places in their respective
championships. The competition was anonymous for many years until
1995, when UEFA decided to make it official and turned it into a
competition for access to the UEFA Cup. For punters, however, this
strange competition offers excellent opportunities for winnings
because the skills gap between teams from the various championships
is much more obvious than in any other club competition. Until 2005,
the tournament consisted of 5 knockout rounds, with games played
both home and away. Teams with a higher UEFA coefficient entered the
competition in the 3rd round and the 3 teams who won the finals went
into the first round of the UEFA Cup. The tournament was revamped in
2006 with the number of rounds being reduced to 3 and a different
route provided to the UEFA Cup. The 11 teams who are victorious in
the 3rd round of the Intertoto Cup now enter directly into the UEFA
Cup’s 2nd qualifying round.
The official regulations and results and tables can be consulted in
multilanguages on the official website of
Uefa Intertoto Cup,
where the latest news on fixture list changes and player transfers
is also available.
