INTRODUCTION:
In the fast-paced world of online sports betting, platforms like MSport have become go-to destinations for enthusiasts, particularly in regions like Nigeria where football dominates the scene.
MSport, known for its user-friendly interface, competitive odds, and a wide array of betting options, offers markets that cater to both novice and seasoned bettors.
Among the most popular are the 1X2 and GG/NG markets, which are staples in football betting but extend to other sports as well.
This article delves into these markets in detail, explaining their mechanics, how they function specifically on MSport, real-world examples, strategies, and potential pitfalls. We'll also include visual aids from the MSport interface to make the concepts clearer.
WHAT IS MSPORT? A QUICK OVERVIEW
MSport is an online sportsbook and gaming platform that emphasizes simplicity, high odds, and mobile accessibility. Launched with a focus on African markets, it provides betting on live sports, virtual games, and more.
Users can access it via web or app, with features like quick deposits, live streaming (where available), and promotions such as welcome bonuses. The platform's dark-themed interface is intuitive, making it easy to navigate markets like 1X2 and GG/NG. These markets are often highlighted in the soccer section, where most activity occurs.
The 1X2 MARKET: BETTING ON MATCH OUTCOMES
The 1X2 market is one of the foundational betting types in sports, especially football. It's also known as "three-way betting" because it offers three possible outcomes for a match:
- 1: Home team wins. This refers to the team listed first in the fixture (usually the host).
- X: The match ends in a draw. Both teams score the same number of goals (or points in other sports).
- 2: Away team wins. The team listed second in the fixture emerges victorious.
This market is based on the full-time result, typically after 90 minutes plus injury time in football, excluding extra time or penalties unless specified (e.g., in cup matches).
On MSport, 1X2 is prominently featured in the "Sports" or "Live" sections. Odds are displayed clearly next to each option, reflecting the probability as calculated by the bookmaker. Higher odds indicate less likely outcomes, offering bigger payouts.

HOW 1X2 WORKS ON MSPORT:
On MSport, navigating to the 1X2 market is straightforward. From the homepage, select "Sports" > "Soccer" (or another sport), and you'll see fixtures with tabs like "1X2," "Over/Under," and others. Clicking a match expands options, showing odds for 1, X, and 2. You can add selections to your bet slip, set your stake, and place the bet. MSport often combines 1X2 with other markets for accumulators, boosting potential returns.
For instance, in a Premier League match between Manchester United (home) and Liverpool (away):
- 1 (Man Utd win): Odds 2.50
- X (Draw): Odds 3.20
- 2 (Liverpool win): Odds 2.80
If you bet ₦1000 on "1" and Man Utd wins 2-1, your payout would be ₦1000 x 2.50 = ₦2500 (including stake).

As seen in the screenshot above, MSport's app shows real-time 1X2 options for ongoing leagues like Denmark, German and French Ligue 2 Markets.
STRATEGIES FOR 1X2 BETTING
- Research Form: Analyze recent team performances, head-to-head records, and injuries. Tools like MSport's stats section can help.
- Value Betting: Look for odds that seem higher than the actual probability. For example, if a strong home team has odds over 2.00 due to a fluke loss, it might be undervalued.
- Avoid Bias: Don't bet on favorites blindly; draws (X) often offer good value in evenly matched games.
- Bankroll Management: Stake only 1-5% of your bankroll per bet to mitigate losses.
Pitfalls include over-relying on favorites, as upsets happen frequently, and ignoring external factors like weather or referee tendencies.
THE GG/NG MARKET : PREDICTING GOAL INVOLVEMENT
On Msport, GG/NG stands for "Goal Goal/No Goal," a market focused on whether both teams will score during the match, regardless of the final result. It's essentially the "Both Teams to Score" (BTTS) bet in disguise:
- GG: Both teams score at least one goal (Yes, both score).
- NG: At least one team fails to score (No, not both score). This wins if the match ends 0-0, 1-0, 2-0, etc., or any score where one side is shut out.
This market is popular because it doesn't require predicting the winner—only if defenses hold or attacks prevail. On MSport, it's often listed under "GG/NG" tabs or combined with others like "GG/NG + Over/Under." It applies to full-time results, but variants exist for halves or specific periods.
HOW GG/NG WORKS ON MSPORT
MSport integrates GG/NG seamlessly into match pages. After selecting a fixture, scroll to the "GG/NG" section. Odds for GG are typically higher in defensive leagues (e.g., Serie A), while NG might favor one-sided games. You can bet on combinations like "1X2 & GG/NG" for enhanced odds—e.g., "1 & GG" means home win and both score.
Example: In a match between Arsenal (home) and Chelsea (away):
- GG: Odds 1.80 (both score, e.g., 2-1, 3-2)
- NG: Odds 1.95 (one or both don't score, e.g., 2-0, 0-0)
A ₦1000 bet on GG wins if the score is 1-1 (payout ₦1800), but loses on 3-0.

The screenshot illustrates how MSport presents GG/NG with sub-options, such as "Home GG & Under 1.5" or "Draw GG & Over 2.5," allowing for more nuanced bets.
STRATEGIES FOR GG/NG BETTING
- Team Analysis: Check scoring trends. Teams with leaky defenses (e.g., high-scoring Premier League sides) favor GG.
- League Trends: Premier League games often see GG (around 55% historically), while lower leagues might lean NG.
- Live Betting: MSport's in-play feature lets you bet GG/NG mid-game if early goals suggest action.
- Combinations: Pair GG with Over 2.5 for higher odds in expected goal-fests.
Common mistakes: Assuming big teams always score (NG can win in dominant shutouts) or ignoring red cards/injuries that shift dynamics.
COMBINING 1X2 AND GG/NG ON MSPORT
MSport excels in offering hybrid markets like "1X2 & GG/NG," where you predict both the outcome and scoring involvement. For example:
- "1 & GG": Home win and both score (e.g., 2-1).
- "X & NG": Draw with no goals (0-0 only).
- "2 & NG": Away win with clean sheet (e.g., 0-2).
These provide higher odds (e.g., 4.00+) but increase risk. From MSport's support docs, these are settled based on full-time scores, with clear rules for voids (e.g., abandoned matches).

EXAMPLES AND CASE STUDY
Consider the 2025 UEFA Champions League match: Real Madrid (home) vs. Bayern Munich (away).
- 1X2 Odds: 1 (2.10), X (3.50), 2 (3.20)
- GG/NG: GG (1.65), NG (2.15)
- Combo: 1 & GG (3.80)
If it ends 3-2 to Real, "1" wins, GG wins, and "1 & GG" pays big. A 0-0 draw? X and NG succeed.
In virtual sports on MSport (simulated games), these markets run 24/7, with faster settlements—ideal for practice.
