The bet “Team 2 to Qualify” (also known as “Team 2 to Advance”) applies only to cup tournaments or playoff stages that consist of two or more legs. In knockout rounds of tournaments such as the World Cup or the Olympic Games, where the winner is determined in a single match, the “Team 2 to Qualify” market does not apply. In such cases, bettors place a “Team 2 to Win” wager instead. Team 2 refers to the away side — the team playing the first leg on the opponent’s field.
Possible outcomes
When placing a “Team 2 to Qualify” bet, there are three potential outcomes:
Win: if the away team (Team 2) advances to the next round of the cup bracket.
Loss: if the away team (Team 2) fails to advance to the next round.
Refund: if the tournament is canceled or suspended indefinitely due to force majeure circumstances.
