Wednesday 17th December – 19:30 – BSC Young Boys v Grasshoppers – BSC Young Boys/BSC Young Boys

Before entertaining Luzern, BSC Young Boys had won 17 of their previous 22 Super League home games, leading at the break on nine occasions. Ahead of a visit to Sion, Grasshoppers had suffered ten defeats in 14 top-flight trips, so our half-time full-time predictions feature the hosts.

Thursday 18th December – 20:00 – Strasbourg v Breidablik – Strasbourg/Strasbourg

Before taking on Aberdeen, Strasbourg had recorded four victories in their most recent five Conference League games, leading at the break in three of these successes. Breidablik, on the other hand, have suffered 11 defeats in 14 European trips, so our half-time full-time predictions feature Liam Rosenior’s hosts.

Half time/full time

The Half time/full time market is similar to the WDW market in the sense that you’re betting on the outcome of the match. The only difference is that you’re betting on what the outcome will be at half time as well as at full time, hence the half time / full time name.

This market is fun and flexible. You can obviously use it to back a heavy favourite you think will steamroller an opponent and beat them “wire to wire”. But you can also predict that a team may be level or even behind at HT, and then come back to win it by the end. As ever, to find a successful half time full time bet prediction you need the best information. You can find all of that here!

How does HT FT betting work?

As we’ve said, HT/FT betting is similar to the WDW market except that as well as betting on what the final result will be you’re also betting on who will be winning at halftime too.

That means that there are 9 possible bets:

. Home win/home win
. Home win/draw
. Home win/away win
. Draw/home win
. Draw/draw
. Draw/away win
. Away win/away win
. Away win/draw
. Away win/home win

Half time Full time Odds

Odds vary depending on the bookmaker or betting site you choose, as well as the football match itself. As with WDW, some outcomes, e.g. draw/draw are simply much more unlikely than others almost regardless of teams, and so will have higher odds.

What makes a good half time/full time bet?

Exactly when you should go for which bet (win/win etc) depends on the specific match. However, there are some good rules that apply to all successful football betting, and betting on HT/FT is no exception.

Do your research

This is especially important when selecting half time/full time tips as there are many possible options for the final bet. One team might be dominant and win a lot of matches at HT and FT, but if the team they are playing is good at setting up defensively in the first half before tiring in the second half (lots of draws at HT, and losses at FT) then this might be a better bet.

We’ve got the best data around for this market, including our league table which shows you if teams perform differently against teams of different quality. For more info on how to use our league table to make better half time full time bets, check out the help section.

Take Advantage Of Offers

While sometimes only available to first time bettors, many bookies provide deals such as free bet offers. This allows you to win at their expense, making as much as possible for less risk on your part.

You could also take advantage of deals such as enhanced odds offers, which give your potential returns a boost.

HT/FT Acca Tips

A great way to increase the profitability of your HT/FT tips is to put them together in an acca. One thing to bear in mind though is that the odds for this type of bet are relatively high, and so can quickly spiral to levels that make a bet unlikely to win in an acca. As a result halftime/fulltime tips are best suited to small accas of 3-4 selections at most.
