What Does 1X and Over (1.5) Mean?
1X and Over (1.5) is a combo bet in football that joins two markets into one selection:
- 1X (Double Chance) – The home team must win or draw
- Over 1.5 Goals – The match must have at least 2 total goals
Both conditions must be met for the bet to win.
Breaking It Down Simply
- 1X = Home Win OR Draw
- Over 1.5 = 2 or more goals in the match
So you are betting that:
The home team will not lose, and the game will have at least two goals.
Winning & Losing Scenarios
Winning Results
- Home team wins 2–0, 2–1, 3–1
- Match ends in a draw like 1–1, 2–2
Losing Results
- Home team loses (0–2, 1–2)
- Match ends 0–0 or 1–0 (not over 1.5 goals)
Practical Example
Match: Arsenal vs Fulham
Bet: 1X and Over (1.5)
- Result 2–1 Arsenal → Win
- Result 1–1 draw → Win
- Result 1–0 Arsenal → Loss (not over 1.5)
- Result 0–2 Fulham → Loss (1X fails)
