Betting on the Carabao Cup
The EFL Cup, currently known as the Carabao Cup (sponsorship), is a domestic cup tournament in England. All 92 clubs from the English football league system compete in the League Cup, from the Premier League down to League Two.
However, the cup is not always treated with the same respect as the FA Cup, with many teams fielding squad players until the late stages of the tournament.
But, this can be great for punters with many shocks on the cards with "bigger" teams fielding weaker squads than usual.

Betting Markets in the Carabao Cup
There are a lot of different betting markets to choose from when betting on the Carabao Cup, including:
- League Cup Winner: Bet on the outright winner of the League Cup throughout the competition. Bookmakers offer Carabao Cup winner odds for each team, with some pretty big odds for teams in lower leagues.
- Match Outcome (1X2): Bet on the result of the match—home win (1), draw (X), or away win (2). But, beware, penalties are played in all rounds during the Carabao Cup, and most bookies settle 1X2 bets for regular time only. Check with your bookie to see their terms if the match goes to penalties.
- League Cup Top Goalscorer: A bet on which player will score the most goals during the League Cup. But remember, teams rotate in the League Cup so it might not be so straightforward.
- Over/Under Goals: Predict whether the total goals scored will be over or under a specified number.
- Both Teams to Score: Decide if both teams will score during the match.
- Correct Score: Attempt to predict the exact score at the end of the match.
- First Goal Scorer: Bet on which player will score the first goal of the match.
