Online Sports Betting Guides
1xBet covers over 30 sports with multiple markets per event and several bet formats, from single bets to accumulators and system bets. The guides below explain how each market and bet type works.
Betting by Sports: Basketball and Special Markets
Basketball warrants its own section because its market structure differs meaningfully from football. The high-scoring nature of the sport shifts the emphasis away from match result and toward points-based markets.
Betting Guides: Markets, Bet Types, and Rules Explained
How to Read 1xBet Markets
A market is a specific outcome you can wager on within an event. One football match might carry 200+ markets – not because the game is complicated, but because each possible angle of the result (winner, total goals, first scorer, Asian handicap, half-time score) is offered as a separate betting option. Every market displays three components:
- The market name – what you’re betting on (e.g., “Full Time Result,” “Asian Handicap,” “Both Teams to Score”)
- The selection – the specific outcome within that market (e.g., Home Win, Over 2.5, Yes)
- The odds – a number representing both the implied probability and the potential payout multiplier
Reading odds correctly is the first practical skill. On 1xBet PH, odds are displayed in decimal format by default for Philippine accounts. Decimal odds represent total return per unit staked – not profit alone.
| Stake | Odds | Total Return | Profit |
|---|---|---|---|
| ₱400 | 2.50 | ₱1,000 | ₱600 |
You can switch between decimal, fractional, and American formats in account settings. Most PH users stay on decimal – it’s the most intuitive for calculating potential payouts quickly. Markets are grouped by category within each event. The main tabs typically cover: Main (1X2, totals, handicap), Goals, Both Teams, Half-time, Asian Markets, Player Props, and Special. The Live section carries a subset of these markets updated in real time during play.
Result Markets: 1X2, Double Chance, and Draw No Bet
Result markets answer the simplest question: who wins? The main variants are 1X2 (Home/Draw/Away), Double Chance (covers two of the three outcomes for lower odds), and Draw No Bet (removes the draw – your stake is refunded if the match is level). See the full guide for settlement details and a side-by-side comparison.
Totals and Handicap Markets
Full Guide: Totals Betting, Handicap Betting
Totals (Over/Under) markets ask whether a measurable quantity – goals, points, corners – will be over or under a line set by the platform. Handicap markets remove the draw by giving one team a virtual head start or deficit before the match begins; Asian Handicap uses quarter-ball increments that can produce partial wins or refunds, while European Handicap keeps the draw as a possible outcome. Full mechanics, settlement examples, and calculation tables are in the dedicated guides above.
Bet Types and Tools
1xBet supports Single bets, Accumulators (multiple selections chained into one bet), System bets (multiple accumulator combinations from a larger selection group, such as Trixie or Yankee), and Chain bets (each leg staked from the previous leg’s return). The full guides cover stake calculations and when each format fits.
Other betting tools available on 1xBet:
- Cash Out – Settle an active bet before the event ends at a real-time calculated value. Available on selected markets; the offered amount reflects current probability, not a full refund.
- Bet Builder (Constructor) – Combine multiple selections from the same event into a single bet.
- Statistics Panel – In-play data including possession, shots, and match timeline, available directly within the event view.
Settlement Rules and Calculators
Understanding settlement prevents the most common post-bet confusion. 1xBet follows standard industry settlement rules with some platform-specific details.
General Settlement Principles
- Bets settle on the official result at full time (or the relevant period, for half-time and quarter markets)
- Extra time and penalties are excluded from standard match markets unless the market is explicitly labeled “Including ET/Pens”
- Postponed events – bets remain open for a defined period (typically 24-48 hours); if the event doesn’t restart within that window, stakes are refunded
- Abandoned events – bets on completed elements (e.g., a scorer who already scored before abandonment) may settle differently from match result bets; always check the specific market rules
- Void bets – if a selection is voided, its odds are replaced with 1.0 (neutral) in accumulator calculations; the rest of the accumulator remains active
Most sports settle within minutes of the event’s official result. 1xBet displays potential payout dynamically in the bet slip as you enter your stake – no external calculator needed for straightforward bets.
