“Total by Halves” in sports betting refers to wagering on the total number of goals, points, or runs scored within each half of a match, rather than the full game.
This type of bet is common in soccer, basketball, American football, and other two-half sports.
Types of “Total by Halves” Bets:
1. First Half Total
- Betting on the over or under a set number in the 1st half only.
- Example :
Over 1.5 Goals – First Half
→ The first half must have 2 or more goals to win.
2. Second Half Total
- Betting on the total goals/points in the 2nd half.
- Example :
Under 2.5 Points – Second Half (Basketball)
→ You win if the 2nd half has 2 or fewer points.
3. Team Total by Half
- Betting on how many goals/points one team will score in a specific half.
- Example :
Team A Over 0.5 Goals – First Half
→ Win if Team A scores at least 1 goal in the first half.
4. Total Goals Comparison by Half
- Betting on which half will have more goals or points.
- Example :
2nd Half > 1st Half
→ Win if the second half has more scoring than the first.
Tips:
This market is useful when:
- One team tends to start slow or fast.
- There’s a high likelihood of late goals (e.g., chasing teams).
- Match tempo or strategy changes between halves.
