1X2 (from 1–50 Minutes) – What It Means
- 1X2 = Standard match-result market:
- 1 = Home team to win
- X = Draw
- 2 = Away team to win
- “From 1–50 minutes” = The bet only covers what happens between kickoff (minute 1) and minute 50, regardless of what happens later in the match.
- Essentially you’re predicting which team is ahead at the 50th minute (or whether it’s still a draw).
This is often called a “Result after 50 minutes” or “1X2 1–50 min” market on betting sites.
How It Works in Practice
Let’s pick an example:
Match:
- Home Team: Manchester City
- Away Team: Everton
Market: 1X2 (1–50 minutes)
Your options:
- 1 (Man City to be leading at minute 50)
- X (Draw at minute 50)
- 2 (Everton to be leading at minute 50)
Example Scenario
| Time | Score | Outcome if you bet 1X2 (1–50) |
|---|---|---|
| 0’ Kick-off | 0–0 | Betting window closes |
| 30’ | City 1–0 Everton | City currently leading |
| 50’ | City 2–0 Everton | “1” wins (Man City ahead at 50’) |
| 90’ FT | City 2–2 Everton | Doesn’t matter what happens after 50’ for your bet |
In this case, even though Everton equalized later, your bet on “1” (City ahead at 50’) still wins because the score at minute 50 was in City’s favour.
Another Scenario
If at 50’ the score was 1–1:
- “X” wins (draw at 50’), even if City wins the full match.
If Everton scored twice before 50’ and led 0–2 at 50’:
- “2” wins.
Important Details
- Stoppage time counts (so 1–50 min includes 45+ injury time, up until the moment the ref blows for the 50th minute).
- Goals scored after the 50th minute don’t matter.
- Most bookmakers void the bet if the match is abandoned before the 50th minute.
Betting Tips for 1X2 (1–50 Minutes)
- Research fast starters
- Some teams (e.g., Manchester City, Bayern, PSG) often score early; betting “1” (home lead at 50’) can offer good value.
- Look at H2H patterns
- If a fixture often starts slowly (nil-nil until half-time), “X” (draw at 50’) can be safer.
- Check lineups/injuries
- If a star striker is missing, early goals might be less likely → increases draw chance at 50’.
- Weather/venue conditions
- Hot/humid or bad pitches sometimes slow the first half’s tempo.
- In-play observation
- Some bookies allow you to bet live up until ~minute 10. If the underdog looks sharp, betting “2” at better odds can be profitable.
- Don’t confuse with HT/FT bets
- HT/FT covers first half and full-time results separately. 1–50 min is only the score at the 50th minute.
