1. What is Correct Score 0-3 (17Way) in Football Betting?
The Correct Score 0-3 (17Way) market is a bet on the exact final score of a football match, but limited to scores ranging from 0-0 to 3-3. In total, there are 17 possible outcomes, which is why it’s called “17Way.”
The 17 possible scores are:
- 0-0
- 1-0
- 0-1
- 1-1
- 2-0
- 0-2
- 2-1
- 1-2
- 2-2
- 3-0
- 0-3
- 3-1
- 1-3
- 3-2
- 2-3
- 3-3
- Other (any score outside 0-3 for either team, e.g., 4-0, 4-2, etc.)
So if the final score falls outside the 0-3 range (like 4-1), it’s settled in the “Other” category.
2. How It Works – Example with Teams
Let’s say Manchester United is playing Chelsea.
- You check the Correct Score 0-3 (17Way) market.
- You see the odds for all 17 possible outcomes.
For example:
| Correct Score | Odds |
|---|---|
| 0-0 | 7.0 |
| 1-0 | 6.0 |
| 0-1 | 7.5 |
| 1-1 | 5.0 |
| 2-0 | 8.0 |
| 0-2 | 9.0 |
| 2-1 | 6.5 |
| 1-2 | 7.0 |
| 2-2 | 9.0 |
| 3-0 | 10.0 |
| 0-3 | 12.0 |
| 3-1 | 11.0 |
| 1-3 | 12.0 |
| 3-2 | 15.0 |
| 2-3 | 14.0 |
| 3-3 | 20.0 |
| Other | 5.0 |
Scenario:
- You bet $10 on 1-1.
- If the match ends 1-1, you win $10 × 5.0 = $50.
- If the match ends 2-1, 0-0, or 3-3, your bet loses.
3. How to Use This Market Effectively
Step 1: Analyze Teams
- Look at recent form, head-to-head results, goal-scoring record, and defense strength.
- Example:
- Manchester United has scored in every game this season.
- Chelsea has struggled to keep clean sheets.
- A 2-1 or 1-2 bet might be realistic.
Step 2: Consider Probable Scores
- If both teams are defensive → 0-0, 1-0, 0-1 are likely.
- If both teams are attacking → 2-1, 1-2, 2-2 are probable.
Step 3: Use the “Other” Option Wisely
- High-scoring or unpredictable matches → “Other” can be safer if you expect scores outside 3 goals for either team.
4. Example Betting Tips for Correct Score 0-3 (17Way)
- Check recent goal stats
- Average goals per game can guide which scores are more likely.
- Compare odds to probability
- Low odds = high probability (but lower payout).
- High odds = less likely, but higher payout.
- Bet small, hedge if needed
- Correct Score bets are risky; consider small stakes.
- Sometimes combine with Double Chance or Over/Under 2.5 Goals for safety.
- Focus on key matchups
- Teams with strong defensive or offensive records are easier to predict for exact scores.
5. Realistic Examples
Example 1: Low-scoring game
- Team A vs Team B
- Both teams have a strong defense → 0-0 or 1-0 is likely.
Example 2: High-scoring game
- Liverpool vs Manchester City
- Both teams attack aggressively → 2-2, 3-2, or 1-3 is possible.
Example 3: Unpredictable match
- Big gap in team quality → Bet Other (e.g., 4-0, 5-1).
Key Takeaways
- Correct Score 0-3 (17Way) is high risk but high reward.
- Focus on team form, attack vs defense, and match context.
- The “Other” option helps cover unexpected scores outside 3 goals.
