What “1X2 from 1 to 15 Minute” Means
- 1 = The home team is leading after the first 15 minutes.
- X = The score is drawn (0-0 or 1-1 etc.) after the first 15 minutes.
- 2 = The away team is leading after the first 15 minutes.
So you’re betting only on the state of the match at the 15th minute, not the final score.
It’s like a mini 1X2 bet just for the first 15 minutes.
How it Works (Example with Teams)
Let’s use a real match scenario:
Manchester City (Home) vs. Bournemouth (Away)
Bookmaker offers:
- 1 (City leading by 15th min) @ 2.50
- X (Draw at 15th min) @ 1.70
- 2 (Bournemouth leading by 15th min) @ 8.00
Possible outcomes:
- If City scores first at 7th min and it’s 1-0 at 15th min → Bet on “1” wins.
- If no goals yet (0-0) at 15th min → Bet on “X” wins.
- If Bournemouth scores first at 5th min and it’s 0-1 at 15th min → Bet on “2” wins.
At the 15th minute, bets settle immediately. The rest of the match no longer matters.
Why Bookmakers Offer This Market
- Early minutes often have fewer goals → “X” (draw at 15th min) is usually the favourite.
- “1” and “2” odds are much higher because early goals are rarer.
Betting Tips
Here’s how to approach it smartly:
- Analyse Teams’ Early Scoring Patterns
- Check stats like “Goals scored in first 15 minutes” or “Goals conceded in first 15 minutes.”
- Example: Manchester City scores early a lot at home → “1” is a better value.
- Example: Two defensive teams (like Atletico Madrid vs Getafe) → “X” more likely.
- Home Crowd Impact
- Teams like Liverpool, City, Bayern often start aggressively at home.
- Their “1” odds are shorter because early leads are more common.
- Game Importance
- In finals or big games, teams often start cautiously → “X” has more value.
- Live Betting
- If watching live, you can see the tempo.
- If a team starts strong with chances in first 5 minutes, you can still back “1” in-play before the 15th minute.
- Combine with Other Markets
- Sometimes better to bet on “Goal in First 15 minutes (Yes/No)” than 1X2 if unsure of who will score.
Example Bets
- Example 1:
Match: Bayern vs Augsburg
Bayern usually scores early at home.
Odds: 1 @ 2.10 | X @ 1.80 | 2 @ 7.50
Bet: “1” because Bayern averages 0.8 goals in first 15 minutes at home. - Example 2:
Match: Atletico vs Real Sociedad
Both teams known for tight starts.
Odds: 1 @ 3.00 | X @ 1.55 | 2 @ 6.00
Bet: “X” because both average under 0.2 goals in first 15 minutes.
Quick Betting Strategy
- Look for high-tempo attacking teams at home (value on “1”).
- Look for defensive matchups (value on “X”).
- Avoid random picks — use early-goal stats.
- Stake smaller amounts because early markets are volatile.
