Experienced bettors often like to bet on Half/Match. This is a strategy in which it is necessary to predict the outcome not only of the sporting event itself, but also of the first or second half. Most often, this tactic is used in football betting.
What are the advantages of this strategy? The fact is that if the player calculates everything correctly, then the investments made by him will quickly return, and in a significantly multiplied amount. Of course, the fundamental knowledge of a beginner is not enough for this. You need experience and the ability to be well versed in sports, to make a detailed analysis with an accuracy of up to 80%. Betting on Time Match is quite risky, so you need to secure your bank by using a bankroll strategy at the same time.
How to win against the bookmaker when betting on Half-Time/Match?
Let’s talk about the easiest way to win from a betting company. To do this, we will bet on the favorite.
- We find a sporting event with the participation of a clear favorite and not the most motivated outsider. It is important that the match is not crucial for the underdog (otherwise, he can simply snatch a victory from the favorite, spending all possible resources on this).
- We make two types of bets: the first is on the favorite in the half and in the match, the second is on the victory of the favorite at the end of the competition and on a draw in the first half.
Some people bet on the second half in football. But again, this is a big risk. If the favorite scores goals in the first half, then it is unlikely that he will waste his energy again and attack in the second part of the match. If the underdog wins in the first half, then the match is likely to be his.
Ways to be on the safe side
When using the Half/Match betting strategy, many bettors create a kind of “safety cushion” for themselves. To do this, they place another bet, for example, on Half-Time/Match W1/W1 and X/W1. If at least one of these bets wins, then the player will remain in the black in any case.
If the bettor assumes that the game will end in a draw, then you can make not even two, but three bets.
What is the right way to apply the Halves betting strategy?
Before choosing this strategy, you need to carefully study the statistics and performance of the teams. Next, you need to choose 4 competitions and decide on specific outcomes for events. Then we bet 11 times on accumulators:
- 1 + 2 matches;
- 1 + 3;
- 1 + 4;
- 2 + 3;
- 2 + 4;
- 3 +4;
- 1 +2 +3;
- 1 +2 +4;
- 2 +3 +4;
- 1 +3 +4;
- 1 +2 +3 +4.
Of course, there are risks here. But the most important thing is to choose the right 4 events with the most probable outcomes of events.
Key features of the strategy
There are situations in which it is possible to predict the highest probability of a particular outcome. Let’s take a look at them.
- X/X. It is good to apply the Half/Match betting strategy here if the teams at the bottom of the standings are playing. As a rule, such teams do not excel in the current season, so it is unlikely that they will somehow become active by the time it ends.
- W1/X. Such an outcome is suitable for a bet with the strategy chosen by us, if the game is planned on the field of an outsider. There is a high probability that the guests in the face of the favorite can concede a couple of goals in the first half. But, most likely, in the second half, the favorite will be advised, win back, and everything will end in a draw.
- P1/P1. Such a bet is advisable if the meeting of the outsider and the favorite on the field of the latter is planned. If you just bet on the favorite, then you need to remember about the low odds. On the other hand, if you bet on the favorite not just in the whole game, but also in the first match, then the odds can really grow well during the game.
- H/P1. Such an outcome is most likely if the host of the meeting clearly wins over the guests.
The Half/Match betting strategy does not have a 100% guarantee of winning, just like any other strategy. Each tactic has its advantages and disadvantages. It is important not only to choose a strategy, but also to gain skills and experience. The ability to predict well is the key to winning in betting.
