How Halftime and Fulltime Betting works (HT/FT)?

Check out Half-Time/Full-Time betting!

It’s a two-for-one deal, like a mini parlay, and it’s commonly offered by all the big bookies, especially for football matches.

What is a Half-Time/Full-Time Bet?

Half-Time/Full-Time (HT/FT) bet in sports betting is when you’re trying to predict two results at once – the first half score and the final score. 

You win if both selections come true.

But hold your horses before making halftime wagers on games that could go into overtime, like World Cup matches: your bet only counts for the 90-minute game and doesn’t include extra time or penalties.

Let’s say you make HT/FT bet on 1/1, but the Home Team wins the half-time, loses the full-time, and wins in the penalty shootout, you’ll be out of luck. Even though the first part of your bet was correct, the overall win was beyond the game time.

Here’s how it looks at bet356:

How Does It Work?

Say you bet on 1/X. At halftime, the Home Team was up 2-1, but in the second, the Away Team scored, resulting in a 2-2 draw. 

Luckily, your bet (1/X) still wins because the Home Team was ahead at halftime, even though the final score was a draw.

Selections for Half-Time/Full-Time Market

Alright, let’s get into HT/FT bets in sports betting. Basically, you’re betting on two outcomes at once: the result at halftime and the outcome of the game.

The symbols might be different depending on where you’re betting, but usually:

• 1 or H means Home Team, 
• 2 or A means Away Team, 
• X or D means Draw. 

For example, if you bet on 1/X, it means you think the Home Team will be winning at halftime, but the game will end in a draw. Make sense?

There are nine possible outcomes you can bet on, and they can be a bit tricky to understand. So, here’s a breakdown of each one:
