The term “HT/FT 1/X” refers to a type of bet that combines two possible outcomes within a single sporting event. It predicts that the home team will win the first half, while the entire match will end in a draw. In other words, the bettor expects the home side to take the lead before halftime but lose their advantage by the final whistle. This type of wager is commonly offered by bookmakers in football (soccer) betting lines.
Possible outcomes
When placing a “HT/FT 1/X” bet, the bettor can expect several possible outcomes:
Win: The “HT/FT 1/X” bet wins if both outcomes occur — the home team wins the first half, and the match ends in a draw.
Loss: The “HT/FT 1/X” bet loses if the match ends with a winner or if the home team fails to win the first half.
Refund: A refund of the stake is not provided under the terms of this wager. However, the bookmaker will return the stake if the match is canceled and neither team is awarded a technical victory.
