“1X2 from 1–35 minutes” in football Sports Betting – Explained with Examples + Betting Tips


What “1X2 from 1–35 Minutes” Means

  • Normal 1X2 = You bet on the outcome of the entire match (Home win = 1, Draw = X, Away win = 2).
  • Time-Banded 1X2 (1–35 min) = You bet on the outcome within that period only.
  • The bookmaker resets the score at the start of that time period for betting purposes.
  • Only goals scored between minute 1 and minute 35 count for your bet.

So your three options are:

  • 1 (Home) → Home team scores more goals than the away team between minutes 1–35.
  • X (Draw) → Both teams score the same number of goals between minutes 1–35.
  • 2 (Away) → Away team scores more goals than the home team between minutes 1–35.

This is sometimes called “1st half 1X2 – first 35 mins” or “Partial result” on betting sites.


Example With Teams

Let’s take Arsenal vs Everton:

  • Kick-off at 0:00.
  • Market: “1X2 from 1–35 minutes.”

You choose:

  • 1 (Arsenal) — You’re betting that Arsenal will outscore Everton between minute 1 and minute 35.

Match events:

  • 12’ Arsenal scores (1–0).
  • 20’ Everton scores (1–1).
  • 33’ Arsenal scores (2–1).

By minute 35 the partial score is Arsenal 2 – 1 Everton.

Your bet “1” wins because Arsenal led within that time window.

If it had been 1–1 at 35 minutes,

  • “X” would win (Draw).

If Everton were leading,

  • “2” would win (Away).

After 35 minutes, what happens doesn’t affect your bet.


Betting Tips for This Market

  1. Check Early-Goal Trends
    • Some teams (like Manchester City, Bayern, Liverpool) are known for starting very fast at home. They often score in the first 30 minutes.
    • Others start slow and only score late (like Atlético Madrid).
  2. Look at First-Half Stats
    • Use stats sites (Flashscore, Sofascore, FotMob) → check “Goals scored in first 30 minutes” & “Goals conceded in first 30 minutes.”
  3. Watch Line-Ups
    • If the home team fields a strong attacking lineup, early goals become more likely.
    • Missing key attackers may reduce first-half scoring.
  4. Consider Game Context
    • In knockout games or finals, teams often start cautiously → more likely X (Draw) early.
    • In league games where a favourite needs to win, “1” may be more valuable early.
  5. Live Betting Edge
    • If after 10 minutes you see heavy home pressure but no goal yet, odds on “1” for 1–35 min may be better.
  6. Weather & Conditions
    • Bad pitch or heavy rain slows the game → fewer early goals, good for “X” (draw in first 35 min).
