What Does 0:0 – 1:0 Half Time / Full Time Mean?
In Half Time / Full Time Correct Score betting, you are predicting the exact score at half-time and the exact score at full-time of a football match.
The market 0:0 – 1:0 means:
- Half-Time Score: 0–0 (no goals scored by either team in the first half)
- Full-Time Score: 1–0 (one team scores exactly one goal in the second half and wins the match)
If:
- There is any goal in the first half
- The final score is not exactly 1–0
- The match ends 0–0 or 2–0
The bet loses unless the match finishes exactly 0:0 at HT and 1:0 at FT.
