1ST HALF - DOUBLE CHANCE – MSport

The 1st Half - Double Chance is considered a less risky strategy due to covering two outcomes. It's often employed when a bettor is uncertain of a clear leader early in the game. This bet is particularly useful in closely contested matches where a strong start from either side or a cautious opening leading to a draw is anticipated. The lower risk is the main benefit, making it a viable option for accumulators to boost the overall chance of winning. Conversely, the smaller potential return due to lower odds is the primary drawback of this betting market. Successful use requires thorough research of the teams' typical first-half performances and recent form.

The 1st half - double chance is different from the full-time double chance, which covers the entire match. Analyzing team form and statistics can help decide the best double chance options for the first half.

A 1st half - double chance bet allows you to cover two of the three possible outcomes in the match with one bet. This market is settled in the *First half.

Bets on this market are settled on the result of the match at the end of its first half time including all injury and stoppage time.

Options and Settlement

There are three distinct options available within the First Half - Double Chance market.

1X (Home Win or Draw): This option wins if the home team is leading at halftime or the score is tied. It is a losing bet only if the away team is winning at the half.
X2 (Draw or Away Win): This bet is successful if the match is a draw at halftime or the away team is leading. The bet loses only if the home team is ahead when the whistle blows for halftime.
12 (Home Win or Away Win): This option excludes the draw; it wins if either the home team or the away team is leading at the end of the first 45 minutes. A loss occurs only if the teams are level at the halftime break.

All bets in this market are settled exclusively on the result at the moment the referee signals the end of the first half, including any injury or stoppage time added. The score of the second half or the final result of the entire match does not affect the outcome of the 1st half - double chance bet.
