Half-time/full-time betting explained
Both the half-time result and full-time result must match your selection.

Read the two parts in order
Home/Home needs the home side to lead at half-time and win at full-time. Draw/Home needs a half-time draw followed by a home win.
Away/Home needs the away side to lead at the break and the home side to win the match. These labels describe results, not exact scores.
Both parts must land
If the home side leads 1-0 at the break but the match finishes 1-1, Home/Home loses. Only the first condition happened.
Draw/Home loses if the home team already led at half-time, even if it wins the match.
Settlement periods
Use the half-time score including first-half added time, and the full-time result including second-half added time.
Do not include extra time in a standard 90-minute market. Check any special period stated on the slip.
Compare the right selections
A full-time win and a half-time/full-time selection are different bets. The combined condition does not become more likely because its price is larger.
