In sports betting, the Correct Score (17-Way) market refers to betting on the exact final score of a match, with 17 different possible outcomes offered by the bookmaker. This is most commonly seen in football (soccer) betting.
What is Correct Score (17-Way)?
- The “17-Way” refers to 17 pre-selected scorelines you can bet on.
- You must pick the exact score at full time (90 mins + injury time).
- If the match ends with a different scoreline than your selection, the bet loses.
Example (Football Match: Manchester United vs Chelsea)
| Option (Correct Score) | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0-0 | Match ends in a 0-0 draw |
| 1-0 | Man United wins 1-0 |
| 2-1 | Man United wins 2-1 |
| 1-1 | Draw at 1-1 |
| 2-2 | Draw at 2-2 |
| 0-1 | Chelsea wins 1-0 |
| 1-2 | Chelsea wins 2-1 |
| … | … more possible outcomes |
| Any Other Home Win | Man United wins by 4-1, 5-0, etc. (not listed scores) |
| Any Other Away Win | Chelsea wins by 4-2, 5-1, etc. |
| Any Other Draw | A draw not covered (e.g., 3-3, 4-4) |
Notes: The “Any Other…” options help cover unusual or high-scoring results.
Things to Keep in Mind
- Odds are high because it’s difficult to predict exact scores.
- Only one result wins — no refunds or partial wins for close guesses.
- Does not include Extra Time or Penalties (unless otherwise stated).
