Half Time Full Time Explained: 9 Results and Settlement
A half time full time bet (HT/FT) is a football bet where you pick two results at once: the result at half-time and the result at full-time, and the bet wins only if both are right. Each half can end in a home win (1), a draw (X) or an away win (2), so there are 9 possible selections, from 1/1 to 2/2. Sportsbook rules settle the half-time part on the first 45 minutes plus first-half stoppage time and the full-time part on 90 minutes plus stoppage time; extra time and penalty shootouts do not count. This guide covers the 9 outcomes, how the bet settles, a worked example with example odds, and what to check on Go2win.
The 9 half time full time results
| Selection | Half-time result | Full-time result | Example score (HT → FT) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1/1 | Home leads | Home wins | 1–0 → 2–0 |
| 1/X | Home leads | Draw | 1–0 → 1–1 |
| 1/2 | Home leads | Away wins | 1–0 → 1–2 |
| X/1 | Level | Home wins | 0–0 → 1–0 |
| X/X | Level | Draw | 1–1 → 2–2 |
| X/2 | Level | Away wins | 0–0 → 0–1 |
| 2/1 | Away leads | Home wins | 0–1 → 2–1 |
| 2/X | Away leads | Draw | 0–1 → 1–1 |
| 2/2 | Away leads | Away wins | 0–2 → 0–3 |
The first symbol is the half-time result and the second is the full-time result. "Home" and "Away" follow the team order in the match listing.
How HT/FT settles
- Half-time part: the score when the referee blows for half-time, including any first-half stoppage time.
- Full-time part: the score at the end of regular time, 90 minutes plus stoppage time.
- Both parts must be right. A correct half-time pick with a wrong full-time pick loses, and the other way round.
- Score in between does not matter. Only the two snapshots count: a game that goes 1–0, 1–1, 2–1 is still 1/1 if the home side led at the break.
Sportsbook rules describe the market in these words: it is settled on the result at half-time, including first-half stoppage time, and the result at the end of regular time, including stoppage time.
Extra time, penalties and abandoned matches
In a cup tie that goes to extra time, HT/FT still settles on 90 minutes plus stoppage time. A match that is 1–1 after 90 minutes is X/X or 1/X or 2/X, depending on the half-time score, even if one team wins in extra time or on penalties. For the same rule across other markets, see does extra time count in football betting.
If a match is abandoned before full-time, many sportsbook rules refund HT/FT bets, because the full-time part was never decided. How each book handles an abandoned or shortened match is in its own sport rules.
Worked example (example odds only)
Example: RM10 on X/1 (level at half-time, home win at full-time) at example decimal odds of 4.50. In Hong Kong format that is 3.50, and in Malay format −0.29 (−1 ÷ 3.50, because the Hong Kong figure is above 1).
- 0–0 at half-time, 2–0 at full-time: X/1 wins, return RM45.00 (RM35.00 profit plus the RM10 stake).
- 1–0 at half-time, 2–0 at full-time: the result is 1/1, so X/1 loses RM10.
- 0–0 at half-time, 1–1 at full-time: the result is X/X, so X/1 loses RM10.
These are example odds to show the conversion, not a live price for any match. Prices on HT/FT are usually higher than on a single 1X2 result because you need two results to be right.
HT/FT vs other match results
- 1X2 (full-time result): one result, settled at 90 minutes.
- Half-time result: one result, settled at the break only.
- Half time full time: both together, so it pays more and loses more often.

FAQ
What does half time full time mean in football betting?
Half time full time means you predict the result at half-time and the result at full-time in one bet. Both must be right for the bet to win. There are 9 possible selections, such as 1/1 (home leads and wins) or X/2 (level at the break, away win).
How many outcomes are there in HT/FT?
There are 9 outcomes in HT/FT. Each half can end as a home win (1), a draw (X) or an away win (2), and 3 × 3 gives 1/1, 1/X, 1/2, X/1, X/X, X/2, 2/1, 2/X and 2/2. The first symbol is the half-time result and the second is the full-time result.
Does extra time count in a half time full time bet?
No, extra time does not count in a half time full time bet. The full-time part is settled on 90 minutes plus stoppage time, and penalty shootouts are also left out, unless the market name says otherwise. A 1–1 after 90 minutes stays settled as a draw at full-time, even if one team wins on penalties.
What does X/1 mean in HT/FT?
X/1 means the match is level at half-time and the home team wins at full-time. For example, 0–0 at the break and 2–1 after 90 minutes settles as X/1. The first symbol is the half-time result and the second is the full-time result.
What happens if the score changes between half-time and full-time?
Changes between the two snapshots do not matter. Only the score at the half-time whistle and the score after 90 minutes plus stoppage time count, so a lead lost and won back in the second half still settles on those two results.
