Combination Market in Soccer 1x2 & Goal/No Goal & O/U Goals

In soccer betting, a Combination Market combines multiple betting options into a single wager, increasing complexity and potential payouts. 

The specific combination you mentioned—1x2 & Goal/No Goal & Over/Under (O/U) Goals—involves three distinct betting markets. 

Let’s break each component down clearly and explain how they work together:

  1. 1x2 Market

  The 1x2 market is the most common soccer betting option, where you predict the outcome of the match at the    end of regular time (90 minutes plus stoppage time, excluding extra time or penalties):

• 1: Home team wins.
• X: The match ends in a draw.
• 2:  Away team wins.

Example: In a match between Manchester United (home) and Liverpool (away):

• Bet on 1 if you think Manchester United will win.
• Bet on X if you think the match will end in a draw.
• Bet on 2 if you think Liverpool will win.
  
  2.  Goal/ No goal (GG/NG) Market 
  
  The Goal/No Goal market (also called Both Teams to Score or BTTS) focuses on whether both teams will score at least one goal during the match:
• Goal (GG): Both teams score at least one goal (e.g., 1-1, 2-1, 3-2).
• No Goal (NG): At least one team does not score (e.g., 1-0, 0-0, 3-0).

Example:

• If Manchester United wins 2-1, it’s GG because both teams scored.
• If Manchester United wins 2-0, it’s NG because Liverpool didn’t score.
  
  3. Over/Under (O/U) Goals Market 
  
  The  Over/Under Goals market involves betting on the total number of goals scored by both teams in the match, compared to a specific threshold set by the bookmaker (e.g., 2.5 goals):
  
  Over: The total goals scored exceed the threshold (e.g., for Over 2.5, the match must have 3 or more goals, like 2-1 or 3-0).
• Under: The total goals scored are below the threshold (e.g., for Under 2.5, the match must have 2 or fewer goals, like 1-0 or 1-1).

Example:

• For Over 2.5: A 2-2 result (4 goals) wins the bet; a 1-1 result (2 goals) loses.
• For Under 2.5: A 1-0 result (1 goal) wins the bet; a 3-1 result (4 goals) loses.

How the Combination Market Works

In a 1x2 & Goal/No Goal & O/U Goals combination market, you’re betting on all three outcomes simultaneously. For your bet to win, all three predictions must be correct. This increases the risk but also the potential payout due to higher odds.

Example Bet:

• Match: Manchester United vs. Liverpool
• Your bet: 1 (Home win) & GG (Both teams score) & Over 2.5 goals

For this bet to win, the match must end with:

• Manchester United winning (e.g., 2-1, 3-1, 4-2).
• Both teams scoring (GG).
• Total goals being 3 or more (Over 2.5).

Possible winning scorelines: 2-1, 3-1, 3-2, 4-1, etc. Losing scenarios:

• Liverpool wins or the match ends in a draw (e.g., 0-1 or 1-1 fails the 1 condition).
• One team doesn’t score (e.g., 3-0 fails the GG condition).
• Total goals are 2 or fewer (e.g., 1-1 or 2-0 fails the Over 2.5 condition).
