Before the final stage, the qualification games are organized to reduce the range of national teams playing to win the cup.

Markets:

1-X-2 FINAL RESULT

In football, one may bet on three results at the end of the 90 regular minutes of play: 1, X, 2. These selections include the recovery time reported by the referee, but they do not include the extra

time or the penalty shoot-outs.

1 = Victory for the host team (or victory for the team indicated in the left side, if the event is played on a neutral ground).

X = Tie, no winner – in some competitions with direct elimination, in case of draw at the end of the 90 minutes of play, the game continues with extra time and, possibly, with penalty shoot-outs.

Example A Juventus - Rome: 2-0

Winner result 1

Example B Empoli - Fiorentina: 1-1

Winner result X

Example C Udinese - Parma: 1-2

This type of game allows players to bet on who will win a certain event, tournament or championship. The outright also allows betting on the goal getter of a tournament.
This type of bet, apart from football, is used in many other sports like Formula 1, tennis, cycling, motorcycling, gulf and ski.

DOUBLE CHANCE

For every football match, in addition to the classical selections of result 1, X, 2, one may bet on double combinations: 1X, X2, 12. As implied by the notion of "double chance", this type of bet allows the doubling of chances to foresee the correct result, but the odd will be smaller.

PARTIAL / FINAL

This type of bet allows players to bet on the result foreseen both for the first half, and for the entire match.

This type of game allows players to bet on the result 1X2 of the first half.

This type of game allows players to bet on the exact result of an event at the end of the 90 minutes of game. The odds for the exact results are usually higher and it is more difficult to guess the winning selection.

1-3 2-3 0-4 1-4 2-4 3-4

0-0 1-1 2-2 3-3 4-4 others

MINUTE OF THE FIRST GOAL

This type of game consists in foreseeing the moment when the first goal of the match will be scored.
The possible choices are set at intervals of 10 minutes:

1-9, 10-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70-79, 80-end, no goal.

This type of game allows players to bet on the final result of a game where the favorite team starts with a "handicap" of 1 goal. Also, in this case, the possibilities are the classic ones of 1, X, 2.

 NB: The handicap always refers to the favorite team.

Example Juventus - Catania > 1X2 Handicap

Handicap of 1 goal for Juventus

Juventus wins with the difference of 2 or several goals (2-0, 3-0, 3-1, 4-0, etc.)

Winner result: 1

Juventus wins with the difference of 1 goal (1-0, 2-1, 3-2, 4-3 etc.) The winner result: X

Tie or victory of Catania team (0-0, 0-1, 1-1, 0-2, etc.)

> 2 - the host team doesn’t score

> 3 - the guest team scores

> 4 - the guest team doesn’t score

UNDER & OVER 1.5 (-U1.5-); 2.5 (-U2.5-); 3.5 (-U3.5-)

Over = 2 More than x total goals scored during the match

In the example given, one may bet on whether more than 2.5 goals will be scored during the match:
3496 Sampdoria vs Udinese

> 1 - 2.70 / 2 - 1.80

TEAMS TO SCORE / NOT SCORE

Will both teams score during the 90 minutes of play?

There are two possibilities:

> 1 – Both teams score

> 2 – Only one team or neither of the two scores a goal

Example A Catania - Cagliari: 1-2

Winner result 1

Example B Atalanta - Palermo: 0-1

Winner result 2

ODD/EVEN

This type of game allows players to guess whether the amount of the goals scored during one match will be an odd or an even number. Thus, a game ending 2 to 1 will have the aggregate number of goals 3 (odd), and a game ending 2 to 0 will have the aggregate number of goals 2 (even).
 

GAME RUN

This type of game allows players to bet on the general development of a match, namely to foresee whether a team will be in advantage and then will win the match, or the other way round, considering, from among the various selections, the draw game.
Thus, one may bet on a match ending with the victory of the team playing away, even though the host team scored the first goal, or on the match ending in a tie after one of the two has taken the advantage, and so on.

Below are presented the different possibilities of development of the offered matches:

> The host team takes the advantage and the game ends 1

> The host team takes the advantage and the game ends X

> The host team takes the advantage and the game ends 2

> The guest team takes the advantage and the game ends 2

> The guest team takes the advantage and the game ends X

> The guest team takes the advantage and the game ends 1

NB: In case of a draw without goals in the regular time of play (0-0), all bets will be reimbursed.

SUPERBET

Every day Stanleybet offers a special section with a maximum of six events in which the favorite team grew by 0.10 or more. These events may be related to football, tennis or any other sport. In football, bets may be placed only on the final result and double chance.

From the same section, maximum one event may be selected and associated with minimum other 5 selections which are part of the same section.

IN WHICH HALF WILL BE SCORED MORE THAN ONE GOAL?

This is about guessing during which half, first or second, more goals will be scored.

The bet foresees 3 results:

> 1 - means that several goals will be scored in the first half

> X - the same number of goals will be scored both in the first, and in the second half

> 2 - means that more goals will be scored in the second half.

NB: In case of a tie without goals (0-0), the winner will be every bet where X was indicated. In case of tie with scored goals, however, the final result is not necessarily X.

WHO SCORES FIRST

> 1 - The host team will score first

The supergoal allows to relate the exact result of a match to the first scorer.

Beside the scorer of the first goal, for the SCORER of the last goal and for Supergoal, one may bet on a player who scores at any moment of the match (Striker) or who scores even a double (Super Striker).

NB: We remind you that the scorer at any moment (Striker) and the scorer of a double (Super Striker) cannot be related to an exact result.
