1. Most sports fans are probably familiar with the most basic bet in sports; the straight.
2. Football is a very popular sport and a lot of people bet on football regularly. There are many types of bet available: you can bet before the game starts and also in-play (Live), bet on one or several types of outcome, bet on the result of the whole tournament or of a particular time interval.
3. 1X2 (Home win, draw, away win) - The most popular type of bets on football, the aim of which is to predict the final result of the match, either the win of the home team (1), a draw (X) or the win for the guests (2). Approximately, ¾ of all bets on football are 1X2 bets. Despite being the most popular type of bet in football, it is not considered the best.

The most common football bet is on the match result or 90 minutes result. This can be called 'WLD' (for win lose draw) '1x2' (being the pool notation for home win, draw and away win). You are basically predicting whether the result at the end of normal time will be one of three options - a win for one team, a win for the other team or a draw.

The touchdown scorer is the player who scores a touchdown by advancing the ball into the opponent's end zone. (i.e. not the passing player.) Bets are void on players that are not listed as active by the relevant American Football governing body.

Football One Game Parlay Rules

Football One Game Parlay rules are the same as Football rules stated above, with the following exceptions.

Race to X Points:

‘Race to X’ selections where neither team reaches the selected score will be settled as losers, regardless of whether a ‘neither team to reach X’ selection was available as an alternate selection or not.

Postponed Games:

Where a game is postponed or incomplete, and subsequently resumed or played within 48 hours (inclusive) of the original scheduled start time, all bets will stand. All bets placed on games played which commence more than 48 hours past the originally scheduled start time will be void. Once the 48 hours have expired, all bets are void and stakes will be refunded.

If a game is cancelled prior to commencement, it falls within the 48-hour rule for postponed games as described above. If it is cancelled after commencing but before its natural end point, the following rules apply:

Cancelled Games:

One Game Parlays will be void if they include at least one selection involving a player who has not yet been on the field for at least one play. The rules outlined below are all applied subject to and subsequent to the application of this rule.

Football Bet Types

If every selection within a One Game Parlay on the game is already a winner where the fact of cancellation had no impact on the outcome of each selection, the One Game Parlay in its entirety will be treated as a winner. For example, a 2-leg One Game Parlay containing an over total points selection and a certain player to score a touchdown, in a game where the required points have been reached and the player did score a touchdown before the game was subsequently cancelled, will be treated as a winner. In this case, the cancellation had no impact on either selection. The same would not apply to an under total points selection where a game is cancelled while the total score is still under the chosen number, as the cancellation would impact that outcome.

If a single selection of a One Game Parlay has lost and a match is then cancelled, the One Game Parlay will be treated as a loser, where regardless of the fact of cancellation, the selection(s) in question had been irrevocably concluded. For example, a One Game Parlay including a first team to score selection, in a game where the other team scored first and the match was subsequently then cancelled, will be treated as a loser. In this case, the bet had already lost, and this outcome could not be affected in any way by whether the game was subsequently cancelled or not.

Bet Types Football Games

If there are no losing selections within a One Game Parlay and at least one void selection at the time of a game cancellation, the One Game Parlay will be treated as void. This rule applies where one or more selections are still undecided at cancellation and may have won or lost if the game had been completed as scheduled. For example, a One Game Parlay including an over total points selection, in a game cancelled while the total points are still below the required amount, will be treated as void. In this case, the total points selection was still undecided and may have won or lost but for the cancellation, so the bet will be voided.
