1. What is “1-1 Up” in Football Betting?
- Definition:
“1-1 Up” refers to betting that a specific team will be leading the match 1-1 at some point in the game, or more commonly, betting on the scoreline to reach 1-1 during the match. - Context:
This is often a “correct score” type of bet or can be part of in-play betting, where you wager while the match is ongoing.
Important: Always check your bookmaker’s terms because some may count a goal scored in extra time differently, especially in knockout games.
2. How It Works – Step by Step
Let’s take Manchester United vs Liverpool as an example:
- Match starts: 0-0
- First half: Manchester United scores → 1-0
- Liverpool equalizes → 1-1
If you had placed a bet on “1-1 Up”, it would win once the score reaches 1-1, regardless of the final outcome (if it’s an in-play “score reached” bet).
- If you bet on “correct score 1-1” before the match, the bet only wins if the game ends 1-1.
3. Team Consideration
When choosing a team for “1-1 Up”:
- Look for teams with balanced attack and defense (likely to score and concede).
- Check head-to-head stats: Teams with frequent 1-1 results in past meetings are ideal.
- Example:
- Arsenal vs Tottenham historically has several 1-1 draws.
- Teams with strong attacking but vulnerable defense (e.g., mid-table EPL teams) often have matches reaching 1-1 at some stage.
4. Betting Example
Scenario: Chelsea vs Everton
- Odds for “1-1 Up”: 4.00 (decimal odds)
- Stake: $10
Outcome 1 (in-play bet):
- Chelsea scores → 1-0
- Everton equalizes → 1-1 → Bet wins
Outcome 2 (pre-match correct score bet):
- Match ends 1-1 → Bet wins
- Match ends 2-1 → Bet loses
5. Betting Tips
- Research Recent Games: Look at last 5-10 matches for both teams’ scoring patterns.
- Use In-Play Opportunities: If one team scores first, the odds for 1-1 often increase.
- Check Lineups: Missing key defenders or attackers can increase the likelihood of a 1-1 scoreline.
- Avoid Heavy Favorites: If one team dominates, a 1-1 scenario is less likely.
- Manage Bankroll: “1-1 Up” is less frequent than general match outcome bets, so keep stakes reasonable.
Summary:
- “1-1 Up” can refer to score reaches 1-1 in-play or correct score bet.
- Works best with balanced teams likely to both score and concede.
- In-play betting can give better value odds than pre-match bets.
