The 0:0 / 4+ Half Time–Full Time (HT/FT) Correct Score betting market is a high-risk, high-odds football bet that combines two predictions in one selection:
- Half Time Correct Score: 0–0
- Full Time Total Goals: 4 or more goals (4+)
This market is popular among advanced bettors because it targets matches where goals are expected late, after a cautious or tactical first half.
What Does 0:0 / 4+ Mean?
- 0:0 (Half Time) → The first half ends with no goals scored
- 4+ (Full Time) → The match finishes with at least 4 total goals, regardless of the final scoreline
Winning Full-Time Score Examples:
- 3–1
- 2–2
- 4–0
- 1–3

Losing Outcomes:

- A tight, defensive or slow first half
- A dramatic second half with multiple goals due to:
