Bet Types: From 1X2 to Asian Handicap
Overview of the most popular markets — match winner, double chance, over/under, BTTS, handicaps and props — with examples from Cypriot matches.
1X2 (match winner)
Bet on home win (1), draw (X) or away win (2).
Double Chance
Covers two outcomes: 1X, 12 or X2. Lower odds, higher probability.
Over/Under goals
E.g. Over 2.5 = 3+ total goals to win.
Both Teams To Score (BTTS)
Will both teams score?
Asian Handicap
Gives one team a head start or deficit in half points (-0.5, -1.0, -1.5...) so the market has no draw.
Half-time/Full-time (HT/FT)
Bet both phases together.
Player props
Anytime scorer, cards, shots — heavily dependent on specific players.
Accumulators (parlays)
Combines 2+ bets. Total odds multiply, but a single loss kills the whole accumulator.
