Match
A bet where you pick the winner or loser of an event, or if it will be a draw. Each outcome has fixed odds.
Double Chance
A bet where you win with 2 of the possible 3 outcomes: home win or draw, away win or draw, or home win or away win.
Over/Under
A bet on whether the final result of an event will be above or under a set amount of goals/points. An Over/Under line will be shown with .5 in the end, or in some cases with an even number. If the Over/Under line is an even number and the correct result is equal to it, your stake is refunded.
Handicap
Handicaps are types of bets where special conditions are set for declaring the winner of a game for betting purposes—regardless of the real outcome of the game. Unibet offers 3 different types of handicap betting: Line Handicap, 3-Way Handicap and Asian Handicap.
Asian Handicap betting
Asian Handicap is a form of betting where
one of the teams, the underdog, is given a
head start in order to balance a match. This
means that they are given a virtual lead in
the match whilst the favourites are given
the equivalent minus handicap, for instance
-0.5 and 0.5.
If you place a bet on -0.5 (also known as
'half ball'), your bet will bet will be
successful if your team wins. If you place a
bet on 0,5 your bet will be successful if
your team wins or the match ends with a
draw.
Line Handicap betting
If a bet has been placed on the event
Chelsea -1.5 vs Watford +1.5 and the
fulltime score is 3-0 the following will
apply:Bets on Chelsea will pay out; even
though Chelsea are penalised they count as
the winning bet as 3 minus 1.5 is 1.5 which
equals 1.5 goal win.
3-Way Handicap betting
In a 3-Way Handicap, the line is set so that
there can also be a draw outcome, giving you
3 potential bets. Example:
Chelsea - Werder Bremen (0-1). If the result
is 1-0, the outcome of the bet is a
draw,1-1; if the result is 2-0, the outcome
of the bet is a home win, 2-1; If the result
is 1-1 or 0-1, the outcome of the bet is an
away win, 1-2 or 0-2.
Draw No Bet (DNB)
You can bet on either team to win and if its a draw you get your stake back.
Head to Head
Sometimes shown as H2H. A bet on which contestant will finish furthest ahead in an event. It can also be a bet on whether a specific event will even happen. Example: Will Beckham get a yellow card—yes or no?
Side Bets
Extra bets that can be made in connection with a main event.
Correct Score
A bet on the score after set periods of play (at half time, after a period or at the end of the match, for example).
Half Time/Full Time
HT/FT is a bet on the outcome at half or full time. For example, if you bet Real Madrid to win at half time and full time, Real Madrid has to be leading at half time and be the winner at full time.
Outright
A single bet on the winner of an event at fixed odds.
Win/Place:
A version of an Outright bet where you bet
on a contestant’s placement at the end of a
season or set period. Example: On a big
football league outright you can often bet
on if the team will be champions (Win) or

will do well in the league but not win, this
provides you with an extra betting option.
