Costa Rica Primera Division Odds

The Costa Rica Primera Division is the top division of Costa Rican Football. Officially known as "Liga de Futbol de Primera Division" and "Liga Promerica" due to their current sponsorship with Promerica Bank. The league was founded in 1921 with the creation of the Costa Rican Football Federation, the nation's FIFA-affiliated governing body for football, which, upon founding, established a national team and the national club's competition. Seven teams participated in the inaugural 1921 season: Club Sport Cartagines, Club Sport Herediano, Club Sport La Libertad, La Liga Alajuelense, La Union de Tres Ríos Sports Club, Sociedad Gimnastica Española de San Jose and Sociedad Gimnastica Limonense.

What is the Costa Rica Primera Division?

The FCRF Federacion Costarricense de Futbol organizes the Costa Rican Football League system, in which the Costa Rica Primera Division is the country's premier football division, the Segunda Division de Costa Rica or Second Division, known as Liga Motorola, and the Third Division, also known as LINAFA as the bronze category. The FCRF-affiliated Football Clubs participate in league tournaments split into categories. The Costa Rica Primera Division is comprised of 12 teams playing two tournaments every season: The Apertura, or opening tournament, also referred to as Torneo de Invierno or Winter Tournament, runs between July and December, and the Clausura, or closing tournament, also referred to as Torneo de Verano or Summer Tournament, runs between January and May.

Current teams:

• Cartagines - Club Sport Cartagines Deportiva - Cartago
• Grecia - Municipal Grecia - Grecia
• Guanacasteca - Asociación Deportiva Guanacasteca - Guanacaste
• Herediano - Club Sport Herediano - Heredia
• La Liga Alajuelense - Liga Deportiva Alajuelense - Alajuela
• Liberia - Municipal Liberia - Liberia
• Puntarenas - Puntarenas F.C. - Puntarenas
• Perez Zeledon - Asociación Deportiva de Pérez Zeledón - San Isidro de El General
• San Carlos - Asociación Deportiva San Carlos - Ciudad Quesada
• Santos de Guapiles - Asociación Deportiva Santos - Guapiles
• Saprissa - Deportivo Saprissa - San Jose
• Sporting San Jose - Sporting Football Club - San Jose

The tournaments are played on stages. The first stage is a double round-robin in which each club plays against every other team twice, home and away, for 22 matches. The teams are ranked by points, with the usual three points per win, one point per draw, and no points per loss. The top 4 teams in the table advance to the second stage, in a quadrangular where teams face each other twice for six matchdays. If the quadrangular winner is also the first-stage winner, the team is crowned Champion. Otherwise, a third final stage features the winner of the first stage against the winner of the quadrangular in a double-legged final series to determine the Champion.

The Costa Rica Primera Division includes relegation and promotion after every season. The last-placed team based on the aggregate for both Apertura and Clausura tournaments is relegated to the Segunda Division, and the Second Division Champion is promoted to take the place left by the relegated team. This system makes the leagues amazingly competitive. Deportivo Saprissa, Herediano, La Liga Alajuelense, and Pérez Zeledón are the only four teams that have never been relegated to a lower division since their establishment.

The best tournament Champion earns a spot in the CONCACAF Champions Cup, the regional Club Knockout Championship, and the three following best-ranked teams earn a berth in the CONCACAF League, the second-tier continental tournament.

How to Bet on the Costa Rica Primera Division

BetPhoenix.ag not only offers you the best Costa Rica Primera Division Odds, but we also provide you with many helpful tools, like this Costa Rica Primera Division odds guide, to introduce you to the numerous moneymaking opportunities available when betting on the Costa Rica Primera Division betting lines, helping you improve your chances of winning.

Costa Rica Primera Division Point Spread

The Costa Rica Primera Division Point Spreads bets, similarly to other major sports like football, basketball, and baseball, are based on a handicapped margin of victory established on a projected game result. If a Costa Rica Primera Division betting lines show a point spread of 1.5 for an upcoming game, the favorite team (-1.5) must win by at least two goals for your bet to be a winner, while betting on the underdog (+1.5) can lose by one goal, tie the game or win outright for your bet to be a win. The .5 fraction is used to avoid a push in the wagers.

This is an example of a Costa Rica Primera Division Point Spread, as you would find it listed in BetPhoenix:

Team - Points Spread Odds

Deportivo Saprissa -1.5

La Liga Alajuelense +1.5

In this case, the -1.5 points spread indicates that Deportivo Saprissa is the favorite to win by a margin of two goals against La Liga Alajuelense. Conversely, La Liga Alajuelense is the underdog and can lose by a margin of less than two goals. These are the likely results of this bet:

· Deportivo Saprissa wins by two or more goals: Deportivo Saprissa bettors win.

· Deportivo Saprissa wins by one goal: La Liga Alajuelense bettors win.

· The game is a draw/tie: La Liga Alajuelense bettors win.

· La Liga Alajuelense wins the game: La Liga Alajuelense bettors win.

Costa Rica Primera Division Moneyline

Costa Rica Primera Division Moneyline is always the most straightforward betting option. Your pick reflects who you expect to be the outright winner of the game. A negative odds value indicates the favorite, while a positive value indicates an underdog. Costa Rica Primera Division Moneyline uses a $100 base American odds system, in which larger numbers indicate a stronger favorite or weaker underdog.

The two-way Costa Rica Primera Division Moneyline, in which the Costa Rica Primera Division betting lines are focused on either one of the two sides winning, removing the impact of a tie or draw, in which case the bet would be a push. There is also a three-way Costa Rica Primera Division Moneyline, in which the Costa Rica Primera Division betting lines offer odds values for the home team winning, the visitor team winning, or the match ending in a draw or tie.

This is an example of a Two-Way Costa Rica Primera Division Moneyline, as you would find it listed in BetPhoenix:

Team - Moneyline

Deportivo Saprissa -250

La Liga Alajuelense +170

In this case, if you bet to win $100 on Deportivo Saprissa -250, as favorites, you would need to risk $250, while betting $100 on La Liga Alajuelense +170 as an underdog, you would receive $170 if La Liga Alajuelense wins the game. If the match ends in a tie, the wager would be a push, which means the bet is voided and refunded.

This is an example of a Three-Way Costa Rica Primera Division Moneyline, as you would find it listed in BetPhoenix:

Team - Moneyline

Deportivo Saprissa -170

Draw +240

La Liga Alajuelense +140

In this case, if you bet to win $100 on Deportivo Saprissa -170 as favorites, you would need to risk $170. Betting $100 on the draw +240, you would receive $240 if the game ends in a tie. And betting $100 on La Liga Alajuelense +140 as an underdog, you would receive $140 if La Liga Alajuelense wins the game.

At Betphoenix, our Costa Rica Primera Division odds will give you the best available Moneyline prices and the tightest point spread odds offered by any sportsbooks.

Costa Rica Primera Division Over/Under Totals

The Costa Rica Primera Division Totals bet is based on a projected final score that includes both teams, independently on which side wins. Costa Rica Primera Division Totals are represented in an Over/Under set, where you can pick if you expect this result to be over or under this estimated line.

This is an example of a Costa Rica Primera Division Over/Under Totals as you would find it listed in BetPhoenix:

Costa Rica Primera Division Totals – Deportivo Saprissa vs. La Liga Alajuelense

Total: 2.5

Over odds: +125

Under odds: -160

In this case, the Costa Rica Primera Division Over/Under of 2.5 means that if the match ends with a combined score of three or more goals, the Over wins; if the total score is two or less, the Under wins. Betting $100 on the Over +125, you would receive $125 if the game ends with 3 goals or more. If you bet to win $100 on the Under -160, you would need to risk $160 and win if the game ends with 2 goals or less.

Costa Rica Primera Division Parlays

Costa Rica Primera Division Parlay is a wager type in which two or more Costa Rica Primera Division betting lines are combined to form a single wager with a considerably higher payout. However, all selected Costa Rica Primera Division betting lines must win for the parlay wager to win. You can combine point spreads, moneylines, over/under totals, and other wagers. You can also combine favorites and underdogs. The more bets you add to your Costa Rica Primera Division parlay, the odds multiply accordingly in your favor.

Using the example, a two-line Costa Rica Primera Division Parlay could be as follows:

Deportivo Saprissa -170

Deportivo Saprissa vs. La Liga Alajuelense Total: Over 2.5 +125

By combining the Deportivo Saprissa Moneyline -170 and Total Over 2.5 +125 for the Deportivo Saprissa vs. La Liga Alajuelense game on a 2-team parlay risking $100, the combined odds would be +257 with a payout for this parlay of $357.35, about 3.5 times your bet, instead of risking $100 to bet on each separately.
