Main Selections of Outcomes for Betting

There are many types of bets in the bookies.

Types of sports bets

The victory of the first team – in the line of the bookmaker office is denoted by the symbol “1”.

Draw – in the line is denoted by the symbol “X”.

The victory of the second team is indicated by the symbol “2”.

The victory of the first team or a draw is denoted by “1X”. To win at a bet on such an outcome, it is necessary that the first team wins or a draw occurs.

The victory of the first team or the victory of the second team is denoted by “12”. To win at a bet on such an outcome, it is necessary that one of the rivals win, i. e. that was not a draw.

The victory of the second team or a draw is denoted by “X2 “. To win at a bet on such an outcome, it is necessary that the second team wins or a draw occurs.

The victory of the contestant taking into account handicap. In the line, for clarity, the handicap is sometimes given combined with winning odds: “handicap 1 => coefficient 1”.

Handicap – the advantage or lag of the competitor, expressed in goals/points/sets/seconds, etc. , which is provided by the bookmaker to the participant at the bets on it.

The outcome of the event, including the handicap, is determined as follows. This handicap participant is added to the corresponding result shown by the competitor in the competition. If the result obtained in this way is in favor of the selected participant, he is considered the winner, and the bets on his victory taking into account handicap win. Payments are made with the winning odds specified in the bet description. If the result is in favor of the opponent, the bets are lost. If the result is a draw, taking into account the handicap, the winning odds for this outcome will be 1 (return of the bet).

Attention! According to the rules of some foreign bookmakers in the case if the result is a draw given the handicap, then the bet loses!

Example:

Barcelona – Osasuna: Osasuna (+1. 5) 1. 9

Bet with a handicap (+1. 5) at Osasuna means betting that Osasuna will win, lose or play a draw with a difference of no more, than one goal. If this condition is confirmed – the bet is considered won, if Barcelona wins 2 or more goals, then the bet will be lost.

Buying handicap, handicap with a buy – adding 0. 5 goals/points /set (or a multiple of 0. 5 value) to the handicap by reducing the coefficient. Not all matches and not all offices have the opportunity to do handicap purchases. Therefore, the size of purchases, as well as tables of coefficients change when buying, you need to look for in the rules of a particular bookmaker.

Accordingly, selling a handicap is a reduction in handicap due to an increase in the coefficient.

Double Asian Handicap – is a bet on the game with a handicap, in which the value of the handicap ( Home ) is a multiple of 0. 25, but not a multiple of 0. 5, for example: Home = -0. 25, +0. 25, -0. 75, +0. 75, etc. This bet is interpreted as two ( simple, “half”) bets with the same coefficient and with the nearest usual values of fores (Home = Home – 0. 25 and Away = Home + 0. 25). The sum of each “half” bet is equal to half the sum of the “double” bet.

In the event that the bet is 200 cu. on the “double Asian handicap” was made on: Real Madrid

Real won: both “half” bets of the original double Asian handicap won (0 and -0. 5).

Payment at the bet: (100 * 2. 0 + 100 * 2. 0) = 400 USD, and the bet in the “express” will be equal to 400/200 = 2.0

Real played in a draw: You lost one “half” bet of the original double Asian handicap and another “half” bet has the result of “return”.

Payment at the bet: (100 * 0. 0 + 100 * 1. 0) = $100, and the bet in the “express” will be equal to 100/200 = 0. 5

Real Madrid lost: both “half” bets of the original double Asian handicap lost.

Payment at the bet: (100 * 0. 0 + 100 * 0. 0) = 0 cu, and the bet in “express” will be 0/200 = 0. 0

In the event that the bet is 200 cu. on the “double Asian handicap” was made on: Barcelona

Barcelona won: both “half” bets of the original double Asian handicap won: (0 and +0. 5).

Payment at the bet: (100 * 1. 8 + 100 * 1. 8) = 360 cu, and the bet in the “express” will be equal to 360/200 = 1. 8

Barcelona played a draw: you won one “half” bet of the original double Asian handicap and another “half” bet has the result of “return”.

Payment at the bet: (100 * 1. 8 + 100 * 1. 0) = 280 USD, and the bet in the “express” will be equal to 280/200 = 1. 4

Barcelona lost: you lost both “half” bets of the original double Asian handicap.

Payment at the bet: (100 * 0. 0 + 100 * 0. 0) = 0 cu, and the bet in the “express” will be 0/200 = 0. 0

Note. Recently, handicap and with a multiple of 0.5 and with a multiple of 0. 25 are often called simply Asian handicap.

More, less, evenly (bet on total). Bet on the number of goals/points/games, etc., scored/played, etc. participant of the event. In a line, for brevity, this number is called the word “total”.

To win the bet, you need to guess whether there will be scored/ held more, less than the given in the total line or exactly the specified amount. When determining the result, the game time specified in these rules is taken into account (see section “Features of the rules by sport”), if the line does not specify otherwise. When determining individual totals, only goals scored in the opponent’s goal are taken into account.

There are two variants of betting on total – two (“less” or “more”) or three (“less”, “more” or “even”) outcomes. In the first variant, if the result coincides with the total bookmaker’s proposed value, the odds of wins at the bets “more” and “less” are taken equal to “1”. If a bet on total is proposed for 3 outcomes, and the result exactly matches the total specified in the line, the bets on “less” and “more” are considered lost, and the bet on “exact” – won.

Individual total is the same as the total, only in this case you need to guess not the total number of scored goals / points in the match, but the number of goals /points scored by one team or one player.

Double bet on total is a bet on a total in which the total value (T) is a multiple of 0. 25, but not a multiple of 0. 5, for example: T = 2. 25, 2. 75, 3. 25, etc. This bet is interpreted as two (simple, “half”) bets with the same coefficient and with the nearest usual values of total (T1=T-0. 25 and T2=T+0.25). The sum of each “half” bet is equal to half the sum of the “double” bet.

For example, if the goal was scored 2 goals, then when calculating bets, we get the following results:

Bet 1. One half bet (More 2) – refund, the second half bet (Over 2. 5) lost.

Payment at the bet: ($ 100 * 1. 0 + $ 100 * 0) = $ 100, and the bet in the “express” will be $ 100 / $ 200 = 0. 5

Bet 2. One half bet (Less than 2) – refund, the second half bet (Less than 2. 5) won.

Payment at the bet: ($ 100 * 1. 0 + $ 100 * 1. 8) = $ 280, and the bet in the “express” will be $ 280 / $ 200 = 1. 4

Bet 3. One half bet (Over 2. 5) – lost, the second half bet (More 3) also lost.

Payment at the bet: ($ 100 * 0 + $ 100 * 0) = $ 0, and the betting odds in the “express” will be $ 0 / $ 200 = 0

Bet 4. One half bet (Less than 2. 5) – won, the second half bet (Less than 3) also won

Payment at the bet: ($ 100 * 1. 9 + $ 100 * 1. 9) = $ 380, and the bet in the “express” will be $ 380 / $ 200 = 1. 9

Note. A double bet on the total is also called Asian total.

The score of the match. In this bet it is necessary to guess the exact score of the match.

Time-Match. In this bet it is necessary to guess simultaneously the outcome of the first half and the whole match. In the line for the designation of these outcomes, the initial letters are used: P – victory, H – draw; with the 1st place being the outcome of the 1st half, and on the 2nd – the match. For example, Away / Home means the victory of the 2nd team ( Away ) in the 1st half and the victory of the 1st team ( Home ) in the match.

Comparison of effectiveness (times, periods, quarters, games, sets, innings). It is necessary to guess which of the times / periods / quarters, etc. match will be most effective or in which times / periods / quarters will be the same performance.

Hosts/guests

1. Victory of the hosts (host teams) or guests (guest teams) taking into account the handicap. The victory is determined by the difference in goals (points), scored respectively by the hosts’ commands and the teams of guests, taking into account the handicap.
2. Bet on the number of draws, wins of hosts, guests in one game day or tour.

The result of the participant. In this bet it is necessary to guess whether the competitor will reach a certain stage of the competition (for example, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2 finals, etc. ), or what place the participant will take in the competition (group, subgroup, etc. ), or whether it will pass into the next round (round). If the exit of the competitor to the next round is canceled for any reason later, the cancellation is not taken into account and the payment will be made based on the results of the matches held.

In betting on the exit to the next round, when the participants meet several times, in case of changing the order of the games on the teams (participants) fields, the bets remain valid. If one of the matches has not taken place or has been interrupted, and also if the result of the first match has been changed, the output is determined by the actual output of the team (participant) to the next round. If none of the matches took place – the odds for winning such bets are taken to be “1”.

If the participant declared in the competition for any reason (injury, refusal, etc.) can’t finish or take part in the competition (if it is not suspended at the moment), the bets on the result of this participant are considered valid: they win if the result achieved, and lose when the result is not achieved (unless otherwise indicated on the line).

For example, a bet on a tennis player’s victory in a tournament will be lost, and if he is absent from the 1/8 finals, he will be won if the athlete has withdrawn because of an injury before the start of the competition.

Different bookmakers can offer other options for betting. In any case, before you start betting, you need to carefully study regulations chosen bookmaker office.
