What “1X2 from 1 to 60 Minutes” Means
- 1X2 = the traditional three-way bet:
- 1 = Home team wins
- X = Draw
- 2 = Away team wins
- From 1 to 60 minutes = The bet only covers events happening between kick-off and the 60th minute.
- Goals, red cards, and results after the 60th minute don’t count.
- Bookmakers usually “reset” the score to 0-0 at kick-off for this period and only grade based on the result at 60:00.
So you’re basically betting:
“What will the scoreline be at the 60th minute?”
Home ahead? Draw? Away ahead?
Example with Teams
Imagine Arsenal vs Chelsea (Premier League):
| Market (1–60 min) | Odds |
|---|---|
| 1 (Arsenal lead at 60’) | 2.10 |
| X (Draw at 60’) | 2.70 |
| 2 (Chelsea lead at 60’) | 3.40 |
- If you bet ₦5,000 on “1” (Arsenal), you win if Arsenal are leading at 60:00 (could be 1-0, 2-1, 3-2 etc).
- If the score is level (0-0, 1-1) at 60:00, your bet loses (or wins if you chose X).
- If Chelsea lead at 60:00, only “2” wins.
After 60:00, goals don’t matter for this bet. Even if Chelsea come back to win 3-2 at full time, your “1 at 60’” still wins if Arsenal led at 60:00.
Why People Use This Market
- It’s popular if you think a team starts strong but fades.
- Good for matches where one side is known for early goals.
- Reduces the risk of late-game chaos (injury-time goals, penalties).
Strategy & Betting Tips
- Research Early Scoring Trends
- Check average goals scored/conceded by each team in the first hour.
- Example: Liverpool score 70% of their goals before the 60th minute at Anfield → “1” becomes attractive.
- Injuries & Line-Ups
- If a star striker starts but is subbed off at half-time, you might get strong first-hour performance but weaker after. Perfect for 1-60 bets.
- Home Advantage
- Home teams often start more aggressively.
- If stats show they lead at HT frequently, “1” from 1–60 can be better value than full-time 1X2.
- Weather & Match Context
- High temperature or midweek games can lead to early goals then slower second halves.
- If a favourite wants to secure an early lead, you can profit from “1” at 60 minutes.
- Combine with Live Betting
- Watch the first 10–15 minutes. If a team dominates but hasn’t scored yet, you can take “1 at 60’” at slightly higher odds.
Quick Example Calculation
You place ₦10,000 on “X (Draw at 60’)” at 2.70 odds:
- Score at 60’: Arsenal 1-1 Chelsea = Win
- Payout = ₦10,000 × 2.70 = ₦27,000
If the score is Arsenal 2-1 Chelsea at 60’: Lose.
Bottom Line
“1X2 from 1–60 minutes” = Who’s ahead at the 60th minute.
Great for games with fast starters or if you want to avoid unpredictable late drama.
Would you like me to make a table of “1X2 by time period” (1–15, 1–30, 1–45, 1–60, etc.) so you can compare all these markets at once? (It’s a really handy cheat-sheet.)
