General Rules

  • If a venue is changed from that advertised, then all bets will be made void.  
  • In case of a match being postponed it will be voided unless it takes place within 48 hours of the initial scheduled starting time.  
  • If 60 minutes is not completed then all bets will be void, except those that have been unconditionally determined. If an official result is declared all bets will stand.  
  • All betting is for 60 minutes play only. Extra time does not count.  

Match Result

You're betting on: The outcome of the match. 

Draw No Bet

You're betting on: The outcome of the match. 

  • If the match finishes a draw, bets will be made void. 

Handicap (2-Way)

You're betting on: The outcome of the match after the designated handicap has been applied to the full-time score. 

Total Goals Over/Under

You're betting on: The total number of goals scored in the match by both teams combined. 

  • (Some matches may also offer 'Total Home Team Goals' and 'Total Away Team Goals'.) 

Total Goals Odd or Even

You're betting on: The total number of goals in the game to land on an odd or even number. 

Half Time/Full Time

You're betting on: The result at half-time and then full time. 

  • For example, if the Half Time Score was England 1, Wales 0, and the Full-Time score was England 1, Wales 1, the HT/FT result would be considered as England/Draw. 

Half Time Result

You're betting on: The result at half-time. 

Half Time Result Draw No Bet

You're betting on: The result at half-time. 

  • If the match is tied at half-time, bets on this market will be made void. 

Half Time Handicap

You're betting on: The outcome of the first half after the designated handicap has been applied. 

Half Time Total Goals Over/Under

You're betting on: The total number of goals scored in the first half by both teams combined. 

  • (Some matches may also offer 'First Half Total Home Team Goals' and 'First Half Total Away Team Goals'.) 

Half Time Total Goals Odd or Even

You're betting on: The total number of goals in the first half to land on an odd or even number. 

2nd Half Result

You're betting on: Which team will win the 2nd half. 

  • i.e. Which team scores the most goals in the 2nd half only. 

Double Chance

You're betting on: The outcome of the match. 

  • In the market each selection represents two possible results. For instance, if you have backed Draw/Wales, you need the match to end either in a draw, or in a Wales win for your bet to be a winner.

First Team To Score

You're betting on: Which team will score the first goal of the match. 

Last Team To Score

You're betting on: Which team will score the last goal of the match. 

  • As in other markets, this applies to regulation time - any period of extra time does not count. 

First Team To Reach 3/5 Goals

You're betting on: Which team will be the first to score the designated number of goals in the match. 

  • In the unlikely event that neither team reaches the stated number of goals during the match, bets will be settled as losers. 

Win Outright

You're betting on: Which team will finish top of the league table. 

  • (This will be regular season only unless otherwise stated). This market will be settled at the conclusion of the final match of the season. Subsequent penalties or demotions made after this time will not count towards the settlement of this market.
