HT/FT vs Double Chance: What’s the Difference?

Why People Get Confused 🤔

If you’ve ever looked at the betting options and thought, “HT/FT and Double Chance sound the same” Many customers mix them up because both seem to give you more chances of winning than the normal 1X2 market. But actually, they’re two very different markets — and knowing the difference can save you from losing a bet you thought you understood.

What is HT/FT (Half-Time/Full-Time)? ⏱️⚽

With HT/FT, you’re betting on the result at two different times:

1. At half-time (first 45 minutes).

2. At full-time (end of the match).

👉 To win, both must be correct.

Example: Burnley 🆚 Nottingham Forest

• If you pick 1/1 (Home/Home): Burnley must be winning at half-time and still win at full-time.

• If you pick X/2 (Draw/Away): The game must be a draw at half-time, but Nottingham Forest must win at full-time.

⚠️ Important Note: 1 in betting stands for Home team, X stands for DRAW, and 2 stands for Away team

✅ High odds, because it’s harder to predict.
❌ Risky — one wrong part and the bet loses

What is Double Chance? 🎲

With Double Chance, you don’t have to predict two stages. You just cover two possible results at full-time in one bet.

Options:

• 1X = Home team to win OR draw.

• X2 = Away team to win OR draw.

• 12 = Either team to win (no draw).

Example: Burnley🆚 Nottingham Forest

• If you pick 1X, you win if Burnley wins or the match ends in a draw.

• You only lose if Nottingham Forest wins.

✅ Safer bet, easier to win.
❌ Odds are lower compared to HT/FT.
