For a soccer match (soccer predictions 1×2) there are three potential outcomes that could happen. There is either going to be a home win, an away win or the draw. That’s it, so a 1X2 bet refers to that.
The numbers just represent an outcome:

• 1 represents a Home win
• X represents a Draw
• 2 represents an Away win

You will see a fixed-odds price attached to each of the three options in a 1X2 market for a game. These are representative of the probabilities that the bookmaker has assigned to each of the likely outcomes. For example, if the away side is at 2/1 then 2/1 odds (1×2 odds) means that the bookmaker has an implied probability of 33% on the Away win happening.
You take which one of the three outcomes in a 1X2 bet that you like (1x2 bet predictions) and place a single stake against it. If that outcome occurs, your bet wins. Remember though that you always have two opposing potential outcomes to your selected one. That’s the risk.

This is a very straight forward bet used on football matches. It is a straight 50/50 choice for punters whether to select both teams to score in the match, or not.
This is also referred to as a BTTS bet for short. Will both teams hit the back of the net in a game? Yes or no? That’s all that this bet is about.

The simple BTTS bet requires just the one unit stake against it and you simply make a Yes or No prediction for the fixture. The No option means that the bet will win if the game ends in a goalless draw or if just one of the teams scores. The Yes option will only win if both teams score in the match.

The term 2,5 goals is used because you are betting on one of the following:

• 2 goals or less being scored (The Under 2,5 goals market)
• 3 goals or more being scored (The Over 2.5 goals market)

The number 2,5 is used because it falls in the middle of both markets.

You either think a game will be a low scoring one with 2 goals or less or you think there will be goals a-plenty, with 3 goals or more.

If you bet on less than 2,5 goals and the game finishes 0-0, 1-0, 0-1 or 1-1 then your bet is a winner.
Yet if bet on less than 2,5 goals and the game finishes 2-1 or higher, then your bet is a loser.
And as the number of goals on average in a football game hovers around the 2,5 marker (although this varies based on trends, leagues and time of year) then its the usual market on offer.

The Over/Under 2,5 goals market isn’t the only option available to you though. If we look at the odds for this sample game, we can see a whole range of Over/Under goal lines:

• Over/ Under 0,5 goals means you want either 1 goal (over) or more or no goals (under).
• Over/ Under 1,5 goals means you want either 2 goals (over) or more or 1 goal or less (under).
• Over/ Under 3,5 goals means you want either 4 goals (over) or more or 3 goal or less (under).
