Category: Betting Education
Betting on sports can be very exciting and fun when done
right. 1x2 betting is one of the simplest markets to bet on.it is also known as match result betting. If you
are known to betting ng then we are glad to walk you through all you need to
know and how to make better decision in betting on this popular market.
What is 1x2 betting first?
This is betting on the outcome of the match and this can be any sport for example:
·
1 -means home team wins
·
X- means the match will end in draw
·
2 – means away team will win the match
For this kind of market
t5he bet will be settled at 90-minutes of play including additional
injury minutes but no extra-time which is usually 30 minutes more before
penalties. It is good to note that if the match goes to extra time or penalties
then this would not count on this market. In fact, in such betting websites if
you had predicted draw in normal time, you get your money once the normal time
is over.
Let us consider a real example of 1x2 betting
Manchester united vs Leicester city
1.
1.90(Manchester wins) x. 3.25(draw) 2. 3.99(Leicester wins)
Therefore, if you bet on Manchester united to win then the
result should look like these or any other score provided the home team is
ahead by one goal:
ü
1-0
ü
2-1
ü
3-2,
ü
2-0
If you selected a
draw then the outcome should either be a goalless draw or balanced score for
example:
o
0-0
o
or 2-2.
If the expected
outcome is Leicester to win then we expect Leicester city to be ahead by one or
more goals for example:
ü
0-1
ü
0-2
ü
1-2
What are the wins if our pick is right from the above match?
Let take for example we are playing with 100 dollars.
If we place 100 dollars on home win then the outcome is
1.90*100=190 dollars
For a draw it will be 3.25*100=325 dollars
For away win the outcome will be 3.99*100=399 dollars
These odds reflect what the bookmakers think about the match
and they indicate the following probability:
·
Lower odds = high chance of event occurring
·
Higher odds = lower chance of event occurring
but huge reward if it occurs.
Why the 1x2 market
This market is easy as we need to pick only one option out
of the three for a soccer match or pick one from two options in sports like
tennis or basketball. This is the best option for a beginner who has not been
on sport betting before.
