Betting on a team to Win Either Half is a popular “safety net” wager. Your team doesn’t need to win the match; they just need to score more goals than the opponent in any single 45-minute period.
Because bookmakers know this is a popular “Banker” for accumulators, they often suppress the odds. This calculator finds the Fair Price so you don’t overpay for safety.
Win Either Half
The Logic of “Either Half”
This bet covers many scenarios where a standard “Match Winner” bet fails:
- The Comeback: Team loses 1st half (0-1), but wins 2nd half (1-0). Match ends 1-1 Draw. You WIN.
- The Consolation: Team is losing 0-3, but scores a late goal to win the 2nd half 1-0. You WIN.
Calculated Odds: If the calculator says the true odds are 1.30 and the bookie offers 1.45, this is an excellent foundation for a parlay.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does this market include Extra Time?
No. Bets on halves apply to the regulation 45 minutes plus injury time only. Extra time in cup matches does not count.
