1 or More and 1 or More – Yes (Total Goals 1st Half + 2nd Half)
This market means:
You are betting that:
- The 1st Half will have at least 1 goal, AND
- The 2nd Half will have at least 1 goal
So the match must have 1+ goal in each half — not necessarily from the same team.
How It Works
To win this bet:
| Half | Requirement |
|---|---|
| 1st Half | 1 or more goals scored |
| 2nd Half | 1 or more goals scored |
If either half ends 0–0, the bet loses.

Key Understanding
This bet focuses on consistent scoring across both halves, not just total goals.
A match with many goals only in one half still loses.
Example:
4–0 at halftime and 0–0 second half → Bet Loses

Betting Tips
Check both teams’ 1st-half scoring stats
Pick matches where teams average:
- 0.8+ goals in 1st halves
Check 2nd-half intensity
Many teams score more late goals.
Look for ones that average:
- 1+ goal in 2nd halves
Avoid strong defensive teams
Matches like Atlético Madrid or Juventus often have long periods of no goals.
Favour derbies or big rival matches
Usually high-energy from start to finish.
Good for “Both Teams to Score” style matches
If both teams are expected to score, a goal in each half is very likely.
