How to bet on the half-time/full-time market in football betting: "The half-time/full-time betting market is a fantastic way to enhance the odds of a short priced favourite, or to get some real betting value out of a football match if you think the fixture looks volatile."
When betting on the HT/FT market in a football match you need to predict what the result will be at half time, and full time. For example if you are expecting a team to dominate a match you could bet in them in the half-time/full-time market where this system would mean they have to be winning the match at the end of either half.
In many cases there is value to be had on this market when you take the strategy of betting on the draw being the half time result, there is then the problem to solve as to what the full time result in the match will be. Betting on a short price favourite in a football match to be drawing at half-time and winning at full-time will give you a price around the 4/1 mark and this is usually the most profitable way to play this betting system.
The more adventurous punter can try to extract some real value and profit out of this betting market by betting on one team to be winning at half-time but losing at full-time. The price of this outcome could well give betting odds of anything around 28/1. A famous example of this was Sunderland vs Blackburn in the 2011/12 season where Blackburn had a reputation of losing a lead in matches. They were winning at half-time, only to lose the match come the full-time whistle. This half-time/full-time outcome was priced at 28/1 and left punters delighted.
Using this betting strategy can reap rewards in so many ways, whether it be getting better odds on a short priced favourite or using the market to get some bigger prices from the more unusual half-time/full-time predicted outcomes.
