Using the MLS Betting Predictions on OLBG
Each weekend when there is a round of fixtures in the MLS, you will be able to find MLS football predictions from our expert tipsters right here.
Each game will be listed along with the most tipped outcome for the match.
This outcome can come from an array of markets, like the full-time result, total goals, first goalscorer, both teams to score and many more.
Along with each MLS betting tip, whether it be on here or on the event page (Using the 'All Tips' link), will be the total number of tips on the market as well as the number of tips for the outcome.
This, in turn, gives you the percentage of tips on the outcome.
This percentage is used along with the current odds of the outcome to generate a 'Value Rating'. This is presented by a five-star rating.
For each outcome, there is an 'Add to Betslip' option. As a result, when you come across MLS betting tips that you want to back, just use that button.
As a result, it will place the prediction into the OLBG Betslip, where you can add as many or as few as you like.

MLS Format and Past Winners

The league is split into two leagues with Western and Eastern conferences, which resembles other American sports.
The overall highest points scorer is crowned with the Supporters Shield, while the outright winner is crowned the MLS Cup Champions.
