What “1X2 from 1 to 30 Minutes” Means
- 1X2 = The classic 3-way bet:
- 1 = Home team to win
- X = Draw
- 2 = Away team to win
- “From 1 to 30 Minutes” = A special market where your bet covers only the first 30 minutes of the match, not the full 90 minutes.
- Bookmakers “settle” the bet based on the scoreline at exactly 30:00, not halftime or full time.
- Goals after 30:00 don’t matter for this bet.
This market is often shown as “1st Half 30 Minutes Result”, “1–30 Min 1X2”, or “Result 1–30 Min” on betting sites.
How It Works (Detailed Example)
Let’s imagine a Premier League game:
Liverpool (Home) vs Brentford (Away)
Scenario A – Betting “1”
- You back Liverpool (1) in the 1–30 min 1X2 market.
- Score at 30:00: Liverpool 1–0 Brentford. You win
- Score at 30:00: Liverpool 0–0 Brentford (or 0–1). You lose
Scenario B – Betting “X”
- You back Draw (X) in the 1–30 min 1X2 market.
- Score at 30:00: Liverpool 0–0 Brentford. Win
- Score at 30:00: Liverpool 1–1 Brentford.
Win - Score at 30:00: Liverpool 1–0 Brentford. Lose
Scenario C – Betting “2”
- You back Brentford (2) in the 1–30 min 1X2 market.
- Score at 30:00: Liverpool 0–1 Brentford. Win
- Score at 30:00: Liverpool 0–0 Brentford. Lose
Tip: The bet ends at 30:00 even if the referee adds injury time; bookmakers include injury time within the first 30 minutes.
Odds Example
| Market (1–30 min) | Odds |
|---|---|
| 1 (Liverpool) | 2.40 |
| X (Draw) | 1.80 |
| 2 (Brentford) | 5.00 |
- If you put ₦5,000 on X at 1.80 and it’s 0–0 at 30:00 → you win ₦9,000.
Betting Tips for 1X2 (1–30 min)
- Check Fast-Start Patterns
- Some teams (e.g., Liverpool at Anfield) score early.
- Others (like Atletico Madrid) start slow and cagey.
- Use stats sites (average time of first goal, goals scored/conceded in first 30 mins).
- Favour the Draw if Uncertain
- Many matches are still 0–0 at 30 minutes.
- Draw (X) usually has the lowest odds but is statistically frequent.
- Use Team News
- If a team fields its strongest attack, “1” or “2” might be more likely.
- Defensive setups (low blocks) → “X” is safer.
- Live Betting Edge
- Watch first 5–10 minutes.
- If a team is dominating with multiple chances, backing them in 1–30 minute market can be profitable.
- Combine with Other Markets
- For example, pair with “Over/Under 0.5 Goals in 1–30 min” to hedge risk.
Quick Example Strategy
- Game: Man City vs Wolves
- Stats: Man City scored in first 30 min in 65% of home matches. Wolves conceded early in 70% of away matches.
- Bet: 1 (Man City) in 1–30 min market at odds 1.95.
- If City leads 1–0 at 25th minute → Win regardless of full-time result.
