Features of bets on the VAR system
The VAR system allows referees to view controversial moments in multiple replays from various cameras. The judges actively use technical capabilities to protect themselves from an erroneous decision and avoid further negative sanctions.
Therefore, bookmakers have also given VAR-related events a place in the line. The main option is the outcome with or without video viewing. In addition, in the line sometimes there appear options with a delivered or canceled penalty, as well as a goal scored. But trying to guess such an outcome looks like a game of the lottery, so you should contact them only in case of extreme confidence.
Will there be video viewing – yes!
Initially, the VAR system was used by the judiciary exclusively to eliminate gross errors. The arbitrators dealt with numerous protocols and got used to using the “TV”. Therefore, bookmakers estimate the likelihood of viewing a rather high coefficient.
But lately, judges are increasingly resorting to VAR. They try to protect themselves as much as possible from possible mistakes. Very often, scored goals are viewed for offside, and controversial issues can be seen practically under a microscope. Therefore, you can safely bet on video viewing in the derby (for example, the matches of Everton and Liverpool, CSKA and Spartak), as well as in very productive meetings.
The more goals are scored, the more chances of viewing from the referees. Moreover, bookmakers concretize that for the success of this bet it is not necessary that the chief referee comes to the “TV”.

Which championships are suitable for betting on VAR?
The Champions League is becoming the optimal tournament for betting on VAR. There, every judge's mistake can seriously affect the final result. Therefore, in the main club tournament of the Old World, video viewing is a frequent thing. And if at the group stage it is better to skip passing matches and pay attention exclusively to the central matches, then in the playoffs you can safely wait for video viewing in each match.

As for the national championships, you should pay attention to Spain and France. The players of these championships are especially fond of provoking, as well as breaking into the penalty area and simulating. This significantly complicates the life of judges – practically every controversial moment has to be checked with the help of “TV”. Therefore, in each fight, you can safely load for the presence of video viewing. Particular attention to El Clásico and PSG matches.

How do bookmakers interpret bets on VAR?
You should be extremely careful to always be in the black when placing bets on the work of the VAR system. Not every reference to “TV” is interpreted as sufficient for the passage of this event. It is quite easy to deal with situations when the head judge is sent to personally view the moment.
In this case, the bettor can calmly rub his hands and wait for the winning bet to be calculated. A more difficult situation is considered when news about video viewing appears on the broadcast. Here the bookmakers offer two conditions under which the bet will be calculated as a victory of the user:
- The head judge will draw a “TV” gesture in the air – this means that the original decision is overturned and a new verdict is issued. Often, for this, the referee does not even need to approach the monitor, a hint from the assistants is enough;
- The assistants will force the referee to proceed to the monitor after the meeting. Here the decision can be upheld, but the bet will still be settled as a victory.
If the assistants considered the moment and did not find anything contrary to the original decision of the arbiter, then such an event will not be considered as an intervention of the VAR system.

VAR really has a serious impact not only on the course of a football match, but also on the betting process. It is especially worth looking at this option in the Champions League, as well as in the national championships of Spain and France, where controversial moments happen quite often.
