Understanding HT/FT Betting
HT / FT is a way of predicting the outcome of both the first half and the full time result and combing that into a single bet. This can often offer more value for money when betting on particularly strong teams. Take Manchester City or Bayern Munich, for example. Betting on them just to win after 90 minutes might be short odds, but you will always get better odds if you are willing to also bet on them winning at HT.

This adds more risk to your bet, thus the higher odds. This guide will show you how to find teams with less risk when it comes to making these bets. When betting on HT/FT, you can bet on 9 possible outcomes:

Home / Home
Home / Draw
Home / Away
Away / Home
Away / Draw
Away / Away
Draw / Home
Draw / Draw
Draw / Away
This might look confusing as first, but it’s really easy to understand. The first option is for the first half result, and the second is for… You guessed it, the second half. So, “Home / Home” means that the home side will be winning at both HT and FT, whilst “Draw / Away” means the HT score will be a draw but the FT result will see the away side winning.

Finding Teams
Now you have an understanding of the market, it’s time to find the best teams for these bets. I like to use the Trends pages as a starting point and filters when I know what kind of stats I should be filtering for.
