A bet that involves the Punter correctly predicting the result of a match at half time.

In this HT/FT bet, you predict both the result after the first half and the result after the second half. To win your wager, both of the outcomes need to be correct.

Over/Under bets let you bet if a specific event in the match like the total number of goals, or other types of numbered statistic. You bet on whether the game will result in over or under the amount shown on the bet.

The simplest of all bets is the single. You only have to predict a single event correctly, so winning is higher than if you placed an ACCA.

There are many reasons why Void bets exist. For example, if the match is canceled due to weather or any other purpose, your bets are void, meaning that your stake would be returned to you, and it would be like you never place the wager in the first place.
