For example, a bet X/1 indicates that after the end of the first half, the result will be a draw, but the match will end with a victory for the hosts.

Late ticket

A Late ticket is a bet placed after the settlement of a given event or after the occurrence of an action that had an impact on this settlement and thus on the odds of a given event. The possibility of placing such a bet results from problems on the part of the bookmaker, who, for example, did not block the odds in time (e.g. due to a system failure).

HT / FT has 9 Result options, while the break applies only to those in which one team wins in the first half and the other team wins in the whole match. So these are options 1/2 (win the hosts in 1. half and away win in the match) and 2/1 (away win in 1. half and win the hosts in the match). The odds for this type of betting are high.

Bookmaker's margin

Bookmakers monitor the payback value for individual players and if it is high, they often respond by imposing individual betting limits.

Payout

Payout means the difference between the amount bet on a given event and the bookmaker's margin (100% – margin). As the payout value increases, the bookmaker's offer becomes more attractive to players. If a player finds a set of bets on 1 event for which the total payout is more than 100%, he will win surebet.

Pewniak

A sure bet, that is, a certain match, an event that 100% should enter, and its betting, according to the player, does not carry any risk. Certainties are usually those types that are assigned a very low rate, and therefore below 1.50 – often they are types to win strong favorites. However, certainties do not really exist, and every bet involves the risk of losing.

System plant (block system, schedule, maxikombi)

A system bet is a multi-bet where (unlike an accumulator bet) not all types need to be correct for a coupon to be settled as a win. It consists of a few-a dozen coupons, so missing some events, it is still possible to win from the remaining coupons. For example, in the 3/5 system, a win will be paid out when a minimum of 3 out of 5 events are hit. The winning amount depends on the number of coupons hit. System bets are used to minimize the risk of losing, although if all typical events are hit, the win is lower than if they were placed on an accumulator bet.
