Half-Time Bet

Half-Time Bet is a wager placed on the outcome of only the first half of a match, regardless of what happens in the second half.

Common half-time bets include 1X2 (win/draw/loss), over/under goals, handicaps, and correct score for the first 45 minutes in football or the first half in other sports. Since the bet is settled at half-time, it is useful for bettors who analyze teams that start strong or weak early in games.
