While thousands of different matches and predictions are made every day in the world of betting, some betting types are preferred much more than others. Here are the most popular and most frequently played betting types:

⚽ Over / Under 2.5

This betting type is based on the total number of goals scored in the match.
Over 2.5: Wins if a total of 3 or more goals are scored in the match.
Under 2.5: Wins if a total of 2 or fewer goals are scored in the match.
It is the most preferred type in leagues with a high goal average.

🏠 Home / Draw / Away (1X2)

This is the classic type of football betting.
1: Home team wins.
X: The match ends in a draw.
2: Away team wins.

⏱️ Half Time / Full Time (HT/FT)

Requires correctly predicting both the half-time and full-time results of the match.
1/1: Home team wins both the first half and the match.
X/2: The first half is a draw, and the away team wins the match.

🎯 Both Teams to Score (BTTS / Yes / No)

Determined by whether both teams score a goal or not.
BTTS Yes: Wins if both teams score a goal.
BTTS No: Wins if one of the teams fails to score a goal or the match ends 0-0.

🔢 Correct Score

Predicting the exact final score of the match. For example, 2-1, 3-0, 1-1.
Odds are high, but the risk is significant.

🕐 First Goalscorer / First Team to Score

You predict the team that will score the first goal in the match. Some betting sites also have a “no goal” option.

🧩 Double Chance

A safe betting type with low risk.
1X: Home team wins or draws.
X2: Away team wins or draws.
12: Home team or away team wins.

💥 Handicap Bets

A virtual advantage is given to the weaker team. For example, +1.5 handicap — the bet can win even if the team loses by 1 goal.
