Unless stated otherwise, results are based on the end of regular time, which includes:

  • ⏱️ the original full time,

  • βž• any added time for injuries or substitutions.

Please note:

  • ❌ Extra time and sudden death do not count as regular time.

  • πŸ“ Regular time follows the official rules set by the respective governing associations.

  • ⚠️ Our company assumes no liability if a match or event duration differs from the norm.

4. Match Betting

4.1 Match Betting

4.1.1 Match Result 1X2 or 12

This bet type allows you to wager on the outcome of a match:

  • 1: Bet on the home team (listed on the left) 🏠.

  • X: Bet on a draw (middle) 🀝.

  • 2: Bet on the away team (listed on the right) πŸš€.

The 12 option is similar but applies to sports without draw options, like Tennis 🎾, Table Tennis πŸ“, Volleyball 🏐, Beach Volleyball 🌴, Badminton 🏸, Snooker 🎱, and Darts 🎯.

4.1.2 Money Line

A Money Line bet is a straightforward two-way bet where you pick a winner. If the match ends in a draw after regular time, extra time, sudden death, or penalties, the bet is refunded.

4.1.3 Double Chance

Double Chance covers two of the three possible outcomes in a match:

  • 1X: Bet wins if the home team wins or draws 🏠🀝.

  • 2X: Bet wins if the away team wins or draws πŸš€πŸ€.

  • 12: Bet wins if either team wins πŸ πŸš€.

4.1.4 Draw No Bet

This bet type removes the draw option, so you bet on either the home or away team. If the match ends in a draw, your stake is refunded. This is often used when no draw odds are provided.

4.1.5 Handicaps

Handicap Betting, also known as Spread Betting, adds an exciting twist to your wagering experience. It allows you to predict whether a chosen outcome will prevail after adjusting for a virtual deficit or lead given to each team or participant at the start of the match. The outcome is settled based on the final score after accounting for these handicaps. Handicap or Spread Betting comes in two main formats: 3-way Handicap or Spread, and Asian Handicap or 2-way Handicap or Spread.

4.1.5.1. 3-way Handicap / Spread

In a 3-way Handicap, you have three betting opportunities: betting on either team or participant to come out on top, betting on a draw, or betting on a specific margin of victory.

Example: Team A (-3) Draw (Exactly 3) Team B (+3)

  • Team A is given a 3-goal handicap in the match. To win the bet, Team A must secure a victory by a margin greater than the listed handicap, typically by 4 goals or more. A draw occurs if the match ends with exactly the listed margin, resulting in a win for Team A by a three-goal margin.

  • Draw: Betting on a draw means predicting that the match will end with the exact handicap listed, resulting in neither team winning. This option is for those who anticipate a closely contested match where neither side emerges victorious.

  • Team B is given a 3-goal advantage. To beat the handicap, Team B must avoid losing by more than 2 goals. They can also secure a win, draw, or even lose by just one goal and still come out on top.

4.1.5.2. Asian Handicap or 2-way Handicap / Spread

Let's explore Asian Handicap or 2-way Handicap/Spread bets, adding an intriguing dimension to sports betting!

Example 1: Team A (-1.5) vs Team B (+1.5)

  • Bet on Team A: To win, Team A must secure a victory with a margin greater than the listed handicap, typically by two or more goals. If they win by exactly one goal, your stake is refunded. Any other result results in a loss.

  • Bet on Team B: Team B is given a 1.5-goal head start. They win if they draw or win the match, or if they lose by a single goal. However, a loss by two or more goals results in a loss for the bet.

Example 2: Team A (-1.0) vs Team B (+1.0)

  • Bet on Team A: Here, Team A needs to win by more than one goal for your bet to succeed. If they win by exactly one goal, you'll receive a refund. Any other outcome leads to a loss.

  • Bet on Team B: Team B aims to avoid defeat by more than one goal. They win if they draw, win, or lose by only one goal. However, a loss by two or more goals results in a loss for the bet.

Example 3: Team A (-1.75) vs Team B (+1.75)

  • Bet on Team A: Team A faces a -1.75 goal handicap. This means your bet is split into two parts: -1.5 and -2.0. For a full win, Team A must win by three or more goals. A win by exactly two goals results in a partial win, while any other outcome leads to a loss.

  • Bet on Team B: With a +1.75 goal advantage, Team B's objective is to win, draw, or lose by no more than one goal. A loss by exactly two goals results in a partial refund, while any other outcome leads to a loss for the bet.

4.1.6 Totals and Over/Under Bets

Bet on whether the total number of goals ⚽️, points πŸ€, or other metrics will be over or under a specified number. If the result matches the exact number, the bet is voided.

4.1.7 Both Teams to Score

Bet on whether both teams will score during the match.

4.1.8 Correct Score

Predict the exact final score of the match. If the score is not an option, the bet is lost. Unless specified otherwise, only regular time counts.

4.1.9 Half Time / Full Time

Bet on the score at half time combined with the final score. For example, if the score is 0-1 at halftime and 2-2 at full time, the winning combination is 2/X.

4.1.10 Half Time / 2nd Half / Period / Quarter Result

Predict the result at half time, 2nd half only, period, or quarter result.

4.1.11 First Team to Score

Predict which team will score first ⚽️. If a draw option is offered and the match ends 0-0, the winning alternative is "X". If no draw option is offered, and the match ends 0-0, all bets are void.

4.1.12 Head To Head (H2H)

Bet on which of two participants will achieve a better result in an event. If one or both do not start the event, the bet is refunded. If both start the event, but only one gets a result, the bet stands.

4.1.13 Player Specials

All players listed in the market must participate for the bet to stand.

4.1.14 Time of The First Goal

Bet on the minute when the first goal will be scored ⏱️⚽️. The 1st minute spans from 0:00 to 0:59, the 2nd minute from 1:00 to 1:59, and so forth. Official statistics determine the outcome.

  • Example:

    • Alternative 1: 00.01-27.59

    • Alternative 2: 28.00 or Later / No goal.

    • If the first goal is recorded in the 28th minute, Alternative 1 prevails. If the goal occurs in the 29th minute, Alternative 2 wins. In the event of a 0-0 finish, Alternative 2 is declared the winner.

4.2 Season Bets / Futures

4.2.1 Winner

Predict the winner of a season or special event πŸ†. Bets on non-starters are voided.

4.2.2 Season H2H

Predict which team or competitor will achieve the best final position in the competition.

4.2.3 Handicap Table

Teams are given a point advantage. Predict the score after this point advantage is included. Aside from the point advantage, the table follows the organizer’s rules.

4.2.4 Topscorer, Pointscorer, H2H Bets

Predict which of two players will score more goals or points in a season. Both players must be in the lineup (substitutes included) in at least 50% of the matches for the bet to stand.

4.2.5 Top 3/4/5/10 with Yes/No

Predict if a team or participant will finish in the Top 3/5/10 of a competition. If they do not start the event, bets are voided.

4.3 Dead Heats

If two or more participants are declared joint winners in a Win or Group Outright Bet type and no odds have been offered for a tie or draw, dead heat rules apply. The net odds for the participants involved in the tie are divided by the number of participants.
