Unibet Betting Terms
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.
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?

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).
