0:0 / 1:1 Half Time–Full Time (HT/FT) Correct Score is a specialized football betting market that combines two correct score predictions in one bet:
- Half Time score: 0–0
- Full Time score: 1–1
To win this bet, both scorelines must occur exactly as predicted—the match must be goalless at half time, and after 90 minutes (including stoppage time), the final score must be a draw at one goal each.
This market offers higher odds than standard Correct Score or HT/FT Result bets because it is more precise and harder to land.
How the 0:0 / 1:1 HT/FT Correct Score Market Works
Let’s break it down step by step:
- First Half Requirement:
No goals must be scored by either team in the first 45 minutes + added time. - Second Half Requirement:
Exactly two goals must be scored in the second half—one by each team. - Final Score:
The match must end 1–1, not 2–2 or 1–1 after extra time (extra time does not count).
If any of these conditions fail, the bet is lost.
Difference Between HT/FT Result and HT/FT Correct Score
Many bettors confuse these two markets:
| Market | Prediction |
|---|---|
| HT/FT Result | Draw / Draw |
| HT/FT Correct Score | 0:0 / 1:1 |
- Draw/Draw wins for any draw at half time and any draw at full time.
- 0:0 / 1:1 wins only if the exact scores occur.
Because of this precision, HT/FT Correct Score odds are usually 3–5 times higher than HT/FT Result odds.
Team-Based Example: Inter Milan vs Juventus
Match Profile
- Two defensively strong teams
- Tactical first halves
- History of low-scoring draws
Match Flow Scenario
- First Half:
Both teams focus on shape and discipline
Few chances, slow tempo
➜ Half time score: 0–0 - Second Half:
Juventus scores in the 55th minute
Inter equalizes in the 72nd minute
Both teams defend the draw late on
➜ Full time score: 1–1
Bet Outcome: WIN
If Inter scores twice and wins 2–1, or if the game ends 0–0, the bet loses.

Key Betting Tips for 0:0 / 1:1 HT/FT Correct Score
1. Check First-Half Goal Stats
Look for teams with:
- Over 40% of matches ending 0–0 at half time
- Low first-half Expected Goals (xG)
2. Avoid High-Pressing Teams
Do not use this bet on:
- Bayern Munich-type teams
- High-scoring, fast-start sides
- Matches with over 3.0 goal lines
3. Look at Draw Specialists
Teams with many 1–1 full-time results are ideal.
4. Use Small Stakes
This is a high-risk, high-reward market.
- Stake 0.5–1 unit
- Never chase losses with correct score bets
5. Combine With Live Betting Insight
If the first half ends 0–0:
- Check second-half momentum
- Cash-out options can be valuable if odds drop early
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Betting on mismatched teams
Ignoring first-half scoring trends
Use this market in cup games with extra time pressure
Overstaking due to attractive odds
Final Thoughts
0:0 / 1:1 Half Time–Full Time Correct Score betting is ideal for disciplined bettors who understand match tempo, team balance, and defensive patterns. While difficult to land, it offers excellent value when used selectively—especially in tight, tactical fixtures.
