All betting markets
Every football market Xtabet covers, each explained with worked fair-price maths and the mistakes to avoid.
Both teams to score
How BTTS settles, how to price it from two expected-goals numbers, and the leagues where the Yes side actually holds up.
Over 1.5 goals
The highest-hit-rate goal line in football betting, why the short price still misleads, and how to use it properly.
Over 2.5 goals
The most-bet total in football — how to price it, the league splits that matter, and when the Under is the better side.
Over 3.5 goals
A high-variance total that only makes sense in specific leagues and specific matchups — and how to identify them.
Under 2.5 goals
The contrarian side of the most popular total, and the leagues where it is a structural edge rather than a hunch.
1X2 match winner
The core football market: how the three-way price is built, how to strip the margin, and where the draw is mispriced.
Draw no bet
A two-way market with the draw removed — how to derive its fair price from 1X2 and when it beats the handicap.
Double chance
Covering two of three outcomes — the real cost of the safety, and the one situation where it is genuinely correct.
Asian handicap
Quarter lines, refunds and how the handicap removes the draw — plus the settlement rules people get wrong.
Correct score
The longest-priced mainstream market — how the Poisson grid is built and why the margin is so high.
Half-time / full-time
Nine outcomes, correlated legs and the specific scenario where HT/FT genuinely beats a straight win bet.
Cards
Why the referee matters more than the teams, how booking points work, and the leagues where card lines are consistently too low.
Corners
A market driven by game state and playing style, not by possession — with the in-play pattern that defines it.
Clean sheet
A single-team defensive bet with a simple Poisson price — and a clean relationship to BTTS.
First goalscorer
A player market where minutes, penalties and shot volume decide the price — and where dead-heat rules bite.
