In lottery sports betting, the market “Exactly 1” refers to a prediction that exactly one of a specific event or outcome will occur in a draw or result.
Where It’s Used
“Exactly 1” is typically seen in lottery-style betting options such as:
- Number of drawn odd numbers
- Number of divisible numbers
- Number of matching numbers
- Number of numbers in a specific range
Examples:
Example 1: Odd Numbers
Market: “Exactly 1 Odd Number”
Explanation: You are betting that only one of the numbers drawn will be odd.
If draw is: 12, 24, 31, 44, 46 → Only 31 is odd → Bet wins.

Betting Tips
- Check Historical Patterns
Look at past results to spot patterns of how often exactly 1 of your category occurs. - Don’t Combine Too Many Conditions
Stick to one type of filter (e.g., odd, divisible by, range) to keep analysis simple. - Use Probability Tools or Frequency Charts
These help in estimating how often “Exactly 1” outcomes occur. - Avoid Overlapping Bets
Don’t bet on both “Exactly 1” and “Exactly 2” in the same category—they’ll cancel out potential profit. - Target Low-Stake, High-Odds Markets
“Exactly 1” often comes with good odds due to its specificity. Use smaller bets to spread across multiple draws.
Typically Odds
Odds for “Exactly 1” usually range from 3.00 to 6.00 depending on:

- The frequency of that event occurring
