Settlement rules

Most 1X2 bets are settled based on:
90 minutes of play plus injury time Unless explicitly stated:
• extra time is not included
• penalty shootouts are not included
This rule applies to most standard football betting markets.

Bookmakers calculate odds based on:
• team strength
• historical performance
• injuries and team news
• statistical models
• market demand
These factors help determine the probability assigned to each possible outcome.

Probability and 1X2 markets

Because the 1X2 market includes three outcomes, probability is distributed across:
• home win
• draw
• away win Bookmakers include a margin within these probabilities to ensure the market remains profitable over time.

The 1X2 market appears simple but still involves uncertainty.
Even matches with clear favourites can produce unexpected results.
