Sports Betting Glossary - Betting Terms Explained

Sports betting terminology

Single bet

We bet on the outcome of an event, the winning tip must be correct.

Double

We bet on two events, and both tips must be correct

Triple or multiple bets

This is betting system with three or more tips for three or more events, and all must come in to win.

Exact result

The exact outcome of the sporting event must be predicted.

First goal

Here we guess which team or player will score the first goal.

The time of the first goal

The question here is exactly when to score the first goal of the match.

Double chance

For a football match, we bet on two out of three outcomes: 1X, 12, 2X

Goalscorer

The object of the bet is who will score the goal. This may be invalid if the player of your choice does not appear in the starting 11.

Odd / Even

The tip is whether the final result will be odd or even. A 0: 0 football match counts as even.

Half / Full Time Betting

The object of the bet is what will be the result at mid-term and at the end. Both bets must be correct for the win.

Mixed matches

What is Mixed Match in sports betting

These are virtual games (mixed game), the point being that the two teams play against each other, but not really against each other. Example: Arsenal play with Liverpool in the Premier League and Barcelona play with Real Madrid in the Spanish league. At this point, it appears that Arsenal Vs. Barcelona, but this game will not be played. The number of goals scored by both teams in regular play time (90 minutes, no overtime) is compared.

Exchange

Over / under

Here you can guess that all points / goals will be above or below the given number.
Examples:

Over / Under 2 Goals

The bet is that there will be fewer than two goals in the match. If one or fewer goals are scored in the match, then bets on the winner are below, bets are lost above. If two goals are scored, all bets will be void (which is why they often score 2.5). If the final score is 3 goals or more, then the winner is above and the winners are below.

Over / Under 2.25 Goals

This is a composite bet consisting of two bets: one bet over / under 2 goals and one bet over / under 2.5 goals. Example: If you bet $ 100 over / below the 2.25 goal, the bet will be split into two parts: a $ 50 bet over / under 2 and also $ 50 over / under 2.5 goals. If the end result is 1 goal or less, then the bets below are the wins and the loss is above. If there are 2 goals in the end, the bettors above will lose half of the bet, the other 50% will draw, half of those beting on below will win, half will bet. In the event of three or more goals, the losers below that win the winners.

Over / Under 2.5 Goals If the score is two or less, the winner will be the loser above. In case of three or more goals, the loser below and the loser above.

Handicap Betting

Asian Handicap

This betting method is less risky than the traditional home-away win, draw type. There are two parts to the Asian handicap: the handicap and the winner.

Handicap (0)

We win if the team we guess wins. wins the match. If you tie, the bet will come back.

Handicap (+0.25)

We win if the team we guess wins. If the result is a draw, one half of the bet wins, the other half is a draw and it is reversed.

Handicap (+0.50)

We win if the team we guess wins or the result is a draw.

Handicap (+0.75)

We win if the team we guess wins or the result is a draw. If you lose by one goal, you lose half the stake.

Handicap (+1)

We win if the team we guess wins or the result is a draw. If you lose by one goal, half of the bet is returned.

Handicap (+1.25)

We win if the team we guess wins or the result is a draw. If you lose by one goal, the stake is split into two halves, one half wins and the other 50% draws, and it goes back.

Handicap (+1.5)

We win if the matched team wins, draws a draw or loses by one goal.
