Use the score for the contracted period
A standard match-result market commonly covers 90 minutes plus stoppage time, excluding extra time and shoot-outs. First-half, second-half and qualification markets have different boundaries. The period selector labels the scope you are calculating; it never changes the score you entered automatically.
For a second-half market, enter goals scored in the second half alone. For an extra-time-only market, enter goals in that period alone. A to-qualify contract is not modeled by the ordinary home/draw/away selector. Read the receipt before choosing the market.
Use the scoreline guide to identify the reported score, and check extra time and shoot-outs before choosing the market period. The football archive lets you find the corresponding match record by date.
Different markets ask different questions
Three-way result distinguishes home win, draw and away win. Double chance covers two of those outcomes. Draw no bet refunds a draw. Both teams to score checks whether each side has at least one goal. Exact score requires both entered goals to match the selected score.
Odd/even refers to the sum of goals, with zero classified as even. European handicap adds an integer handicap to the home score and retains home, draw and away outcomes. Asian handicap attaches the signed handicap to the selected team and allows pushes or split settlements.
Understand each half of a quarter line
Over 2.25 splits equally into over 2.0 and over 2.5. With exactly two goals, the first component pushes and the second loses. Over 2.75 with exactly three goals combines a win and a push. The component table shows each stake, outcome and return explicitly.
A selected team at −0.75 splits into −0.5 and −1. A one-goal win therefore gives a half win. The same mathematics applies to positive quarter lines. European three-way handicap does not use this split: a handicap draw is a distinct selectable outcome.
The scoreline matrix is sensitivity, not prediction
Choose the grid size to compare settlement across alternative home and away scores. Each cell shows the net monetary result for that score under the same market, odds and stake. The selected score is highlighted when it falls inside the grid.
No probabilities are assigned to the cells, and the grid’s best or worst value is not a forecast. A paused, abandoned or postponed match cannot be settled from its current score alone. If your operator voided the market, use the single calculator’s void outcome instead.
Practical questions
Should I enter the score after extra time?
Only if the market you are checking includes extra time. Use the period stated in the accepted terms, not simply the last score on screen.
Why is a quarter handicap split in two?
A quarter line divides the stake between two nearby half or whole lines. Each half settles on its own, which can lead to a half win or half loss.
Before you use the result: check your stake, accepted odds and settlement rules. These calculations use the values you enter.
