What It Means 1st Half – Double Chance & GG/NG”
“1st Half”
This means the bet only applies to the first half of the match (0–45 minutes + added time).
Whatever happens in the second half does not affect your bet.
“Double Chance”
Double Chance gives you two outcomes out of three possible results (Win / Draw / Lose).
For the 1st half, it means you are predicting which team will not lose or what result combination will occur in the first 45 minutes.
The options are:
- 1X (Home Win or Draw in 1st Half)
- X2 (Away Win or Draw in 1st Half)
- 12 (Home or Away Win in 1st Half — no draw)
“GG/NG”
This refers to Both Teams to Score (BTTS) in the 1st half:
- GG (Yes) → Both teams score in the first half.
- NG (No) → At least one team does not score in the first half.
Combined Bet: “1st Half – Double Chance & GG/NG”
This means you’re betting on both conditions to happen within the first half:
A certain Double Chance outcome, and
Wether both teams score (GG) or not (NG).
Both parts must be correct for you to win.
Example
Match: Arsenal vs Chelsea
Option 1: “1st Half – 1X & GG”
- You are betting that Arsenal will not lose the 1st half (they’ll either win or draw)
- And both teams will score in the 1st half.
Winning example:
Halftime score = Arsenal 1–1 Chelsea
→ Arsenal didn’t lose (draw) and both scored → Bet Wins
Losing examples:
- Halftime = Arsenal 0–1 Chelsea (Arsenal lost)
- Halftime = Arsenal 1–0 Chelsea (Chelsea didn’t score → NG)
Option 2: “1st Half – X2 & NG”
- You are betting that Chelsea won’t lose the 1st half (win or draw)
- And both teams will not score in the 1st half.
Winning examples:
- Halftime = 0–0 → Draw (X2), no goals (NG)
- Halftime = 0–1 → Chelsea winning (X2), Arsenal no goal (NG)
Losing examples:
- Halftime = 1–1 (GG happened → bet loses)
- Halftime = 1–0 (Chelsea lost → bet loses)
Betting Tips
- Check Team’s Early Scoring Trends:
Look at both teams’ 1st half goal stats — some teams start slow (good for NG), others start fast (good for GG). - Avoid Combining High-Risk Opposites:
“1st Half – 12 & NG” is risky since expecting no draw but also no goals reduces your win chance. - Derby Games = Early Goals Possible (GG)
Rival teams like Arsenal vs Chelsea or Real Madrid vs Barcelona often have early goals due to open play. - Low-Scoring Teams = NG Safer
For defensive teams (e.g. Atlético Madrid, Inter Milan), “1st Half – 1X & NG” can offer solid value. - Use Stats Sites:
Check sites like SofaScore, FlashScore, or Whoscored for “1st Half goals scored/conceded” data before betting.
