Football betting markets explained
Every market KickoffScore publishes a probability for, written in plain language, with the settlement rule that actually decides it.
Model output is only useful if you know exactly what the selection means. This is the reference for every market family on the site, and specifically for how each one settles.
Result markets
| Market | What it means | Settles on |
|---|---|---|
| 1X2 | Home win, draw, or away win | 90 minutes plus stoppage time, not extra time or penalties |
| Double Chance | Two of the three results: 1X, X2, or 12 | The same 90 minutes; only one outcome loses |
| Draw No Bet | Home or away, with the stake returned on a draw | A draw voids rather than loses |
| Half-Time Result | The result at the interval | The score at half time only |
| HT/FT | The result at half time combined with the result at full time | Both checkpoints must match |
| Asian Handicap | One side with a goal head start or deficit | The adjusted score; quarter lines split the stake |
Goal markets
| Market | What it means | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| Over/Under 0.5 to 3.5 | Total goals by both teams against a line | Half-lines cannot push, so there is always a winner |
| BTTS | Both teams score at least one | A 0-0 and a 3-0 settle identically: no |
| Team Goals | One team’s goals against a line | Own goals count for the team credited with the goal |
| First Half Goals | Goals before the interval only | Stoppage time at the end of the half counts |
| Result and Goals | A result combined with an over/under line | Both parts must land |
Corners, cards, and shots
| Market | What it means | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| Corners | Total or per-team corners against a line | Corners awarded but not taken usually do not count |
| Cards | Total or per-team bookings against a line | Cards for non-players are often excluded; a second yellow may count differently by bookmaker |
| Shots and Shots on Target | Total or per-team shot volume | Different data providers classify blocked shots differently |
Settlement rules belong to your bookmaker
KickoffScore publishes a probability for the market as defined above. Corners, cards, and shots in particular vary between bookmakers in how they are counted. Check the rules where you are actually betting before you take a price.
Every market family here has a matching predictions page and, where the data supports it, a matching Advanced Stats ranking and a Prediction Accuracy row.
